®be (draftaman PUBLISHED BY STUDENTS OF HENRY FORD TRADE VOL. 3, NO. 5 Instructors Hunt Deer; Smith Gets His Buck The northern wilds of Mich- igan were invaded by five in- structors, hunting the deer. Floyd Stallth, machine con- struction, was the only one that met with success. He bagged a 150 pound, 5-point deer. Louis Liptack, drafting room, hunted on two different occasions. He shot at one buck. He missed. George Landry, Training School, made one trip with Mr. Liptack. No shot, no buck. Steve Chayke, grinder in- spector, made three trips. Each time he failed to bring home the venison. Douglas Souter, fourth floor mill, hunted for a week. He failed to make his kill after he creased a deer with one of his shots. Get Musicale Tickets Free tickets for the Henry Ford Trade School musicale in the little theater of the Ford Rotunda will be ready for dis- tribution December 20 in Roam 39. As there is a limited num- ber of tickets all students and instructors are urged to get theirs early. Two thirds of the tickets will be held until 4 p. m. for shop boys and shop in- structors. Tickets are not given for reserved seats. The aim is to have only 400 persons, the capac- ity of the auditorium, attending. Don't ask for a ticket unless you are sure that you can attend. Displays Completed by Cutaway Dept. One hundred motors, sixty- five chassis, and other displays, requiring approximately 26,500 hour8 of work, reports Shop Supt. E. Y. Peterson, have Just been completed by the cutaway depart- ment of Henry Ford Trade School. These displays are sent to Ford branches, foreign and do- mestic, to Ford Rotunda, and to the permanent exhibit at 1710 Broadway, New York City. J. H. Wolfe Spends 20 Years in School J. H. Wolfe, Ford Appren- tice School director, has given 20 year8 service to the Ford Schools. Early in life he de- veloped the ambition to do my Job better than any one else can do it. This determination brought him face to face with J. H. Wolfe many problems. Perhaps his phi- losophy in life is summed up in the following poem written by Henry van Dyke. Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest or desk or loom, In roaring market place or tran- quil room, Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, This is my blessing not my docm, Of all who live, I am the one by wham this Work can best be done in the right way. Lying on his stomach look- ing eagerly through a window in- to a basement machine shop, it dawned on Mr. Wolfe that he wanted to be a machinist. Al- though at that time he was ap- prenticed to a cabinet maker, he was successful in changing his apprenticeship to the Allis Chalmers Stationary Engine Works. All this occurred in Wisconsin. After serving his appren- ticeship and working in differ- ent machine shops at various SCHOOL DECEMBER 3, 1937 F C. A. Build Yachts as Woodcraft Projects In order to give the Future Craftsmen of America an opportu- nity to develop their own ideas in woodcraft, Robert Dale, draw- ing roam instructor, has re- ceived permission from Supt. F. E. Searle and Shop Supt. E. Y. Peterson to use wood pattern's benches and band saws, Mondays and Wednesdays, from 4 to 7 p.m. Each boy supplies his own wood, but tools are furnished by the school. Out of the 13 boys that are enrolled in this woodcraft pro- ject, 10 plan to build yachts. They are: Donald Frederick, Steve Ferega, Kenneth Fowler, Richard Cadieux, Walter Carlton, Mike Labick, Naaman Cochran, Arthur Bowering, Thomas Kirby, and James Lenck. James Konstantine plans to build a 15-foot motor boat. Gerald Lentz is interested in making wood articles for the home. Elton Howes plans to make a Christmas gift. J. J. Onderko, F.C.A. ad- viser, said that plans are being made to start projects other than wood work. Jobs, he came to Detroit, lured by the $5 a day then Just an- nounced by Ford Motor Co. At the employment office of Ford Motor Co., Mr. Wolfe was able to answer the questions of Max Fiedrich well enough to be given a Job in N-160 toolroom. From the time he became an apprentice, he studied mathemat- ics, most of this time was with a tutor. After much persuasion he began tutoring about twenty of his fellow workmen. To do this he made his attic into a classrocm. This attic teaching came to an end when he was given a Job in the Ford Apprentice School to teach mathematics. In 1923 Mr. Wolfe conceived the idea of writing a mathemat- ics text. For a time he and John Lott, who was then a mathe- matics instructor in the schoql, worked on the project. That same year the plans were aban- (Continued on Page 3)

PAGE FOUR Edels Eat Coveted Bird For the past 18 years A. N. Edel, president of the instruc- tors howling league, has been an average bowler. However, last Tuesday, November 16, Mr. Edel Incensed with the thought of a lusc1ous turkey dinner, rose to heights previously unknown to him, to defeat the cream of Henry Ford Trade School bowlers and literally bring heme the bac on (turkey). The turkey, donated by Coffin Nunneley, went to the bowler, bowling the highest num- ber of pins abo7e his average. Mr. Edel emerged from the flying feathers with a score of 602 pins, which boosted his 159.5 average to 164, an increase of 4.5 pins. Although more than 80 in- structors have invited them- selves to help him eat his prize, he Insists it is a treat solely for the Edel family. With the M-A-l students, Vincent Goar ley, former HFTS in- structor, now at Denby High, con- ducted nearly 200 Denby boys through our school, Nov. 16. Bowling Standings Pos.

On the same program, the annual battle between the class and shop instructors will take place. All are invited to attend. flyweight class of the Industri- al Tournament, Fri., Nov. 19. Another popular member of the family, Edgar, will also compete in the tournament. Because of a hernia opera- tion, W. F. Dopke is being re- placed by Ted Bonaventura, on B. C. Brewen's bowling team. The opening game with the alumni may not be such a push- over for the varsity, as they ap- pear to have the strongest team ever to represent their associa- tion, having with them two stars from last years Craftsman, Frank Mugerdich lan and Pete Qu inn. Hornets Down Cardinals By defeating the W-F-l Car- dinals, the W-E-l Hornets are now the W-section champions in the Intramural Beeball League. Previous to the champion- ship game the Hornets handed the Cardinals their first defeat of the season when they won in the closing minutes of play. The Cardinals were leading by the slim margin of a safety when Bob Nantais of the Hornets faded back and threw a long pass to Henry Staub in the end zone, putting the Hornets in the lead 30-26. The game ended a minute later with no further scoring. On Nov. 12 the same teams met at Miller School to play for the W-section championship. Scoring 18 of the 30 points, Bob Nantais acted as spark plug as the Hornets severely drubbed the Cardinals to emerge the W- section championship. The final score was 30 to 18.

Vol. 3, 9o. 5 Fri., Dec. 3, 1937 Worthwhile Experiences May be Beneficial The local chapter of the Future Craftsmen of America has awakened from its lethargic con- dition. Boys, under close su- pervision, are now permitted to use certain shop equipment after school to develop their own ideas. Congratulations to those who have led in making this or- ganization active. Congratula- tions to shop officials who have made it possible for F.C.A. mem- bers to use equipment. From these experiences worthwhile hobbies may develop. These hobbies in turn may help develop unique skills. It is hoped that by the end of the school year, they will hold a first rate exhibit of all their work. Develop Hidden Qualities Has a f el lew student ever been given a promotion, a bene- fit, or a reward that you felt should have been yours? That fellow may possess some qualities, same hidden vir- tues you failed to observe. You may contain qualities, that, if properly developed, may be of value. Don't let the success of another overshadow your life. Be what you are. Find and de- velop your good qualities. Then you will not have to worry about your promotion. Most Commonly Used Coolant - Soluble Oil Soluble oil, commonly ca'led soda water, is a creamy, milk-like fluid used to reduce friction in general machine and lathe work. Approximately 12, 000,000 gallons are produced annually for the entire Rouge plant in the Special Oil Dept, on the fourth floor of the B- buildlng, north of the cafeteria. From this department, it is piped to the buildings where it is used. There it is stored in underground pits which are di- vided into two parts. Every week the oil is pumped from one side of the pit to the other and the previously occupied part is cleaned. From these pits it is pumped to the machines where it is used. Oil is Tested for Bacteria Every week the hygiene de- partment of Ford Motor Co. tests the oil for bacteria. If any disease producing germs are pres ent a disenfectant is added. The soluble oil is also tested to determine if the oil contents is up to standard. Soluble oil is numbered in three different ways, Nos. 1, 2, and 3. No. 1 is first made so it can be easily emulsified with water. It is composed of paraf- fine oil, oleic acid, and caus- tic soda. No. 2 is prepared by prop- erly mixing one part of soluble oil base No. 1 with one part of water. This coolant is seldom used except for heavy cutting. No. 3, known as soda water, and used throughout the entire plant, is pro- duced by mixing twenty- four parts of water with one part of soluble oil base No. 1. Approximately 1,000,000 gallons of sol- uble oil No. 3 is used monthly in the Rouge plant This department, in which there are three shifts working six days a week, is under the super- vision of D. R. Tolhurst. Besides the coolants, about fifty different prod ucts are made including soaps, compounds, special oils, etc. Plates Are Untouch Cleanliness is an import theme of Henry Ford Trade Sch The lunchroom maintains high degree of cleanline proven by the fact that plates from which we eat are touched by human hands unt they are taken out of the boxes and placed on the lui counter or tables. Plates t ordered in large quantities t tween twenty to forty thousar Each box contains about fi hundred plates. China plates are not u because the cost of replenishi and washing is more than cost of paper plates. Enter Guess Who Conte If you like to keep s thing to yourself, now is yo big chance.
