Stoeltlng ▼ol. 4, No. 2 Friday, Oct. 7, 1938 On Consideration On the fringe of a crude mid- western farming town, dwells a humble farmer on his goodly acres. Every evening his genial hearth is circled with a host of friends. Every acquaintance evidences that an evening spent in his company is an undying recollection. Why? What is it that so endears this man to the hearts of his friends?— certainly not his cultured tastes. He eats with his knife; he ties his napkin under his chin--BUT his whole nature is supersaturated with a kindly consideration for others. There you have the answer. He is polite; he is courteous. Oft times small courtesies ap- pear too trivial to be practiced. To avoid the discourtesy of walk- ing in front of or between two conversationalists reveals a spir- it of consideration. Just such consideration, the small courtesies which are appli- cable in our daily rush of life, are the elements which endear us to all whom we meet. A Friend in Need A friend in need is a friend in- deed is an old saying that might well apply to some of the new stu- dents in Henry Ford Trade School. They are more than likely a little apprehensive as to their future; perhaps slightly frightened about it all. Let's cheer up our new members; make them understand all the good points of this school and the val- uable things one can learn. With- out this friendly understanding new members are likely to get off on the wrong foot; and no one wants this to happen. Discussion Leader Talks to Classroom Instructors When men know the truth about things they will act intelli- gently. That was one of the many good points stressed by H. N. Clarke, discussion leader, in his speech at 3 p. m. Sept. 23. After being introduced, Mr. Clarke pointed out to some 35 in- structors, the need for all execu- tives to get together. Unless this is done one can never get a man to stop causing trouble, he added. Born and residing in Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Clarke rates as one of the most competent discussion lead- ers in the country. His personal- ity compels confidence and self- poise. His experience in leading conference groups as a counselor on business and industrial morals extends over a period of 30 years. Mr. Clarke endeavors to hear all sides of an argument and gives his opinions accordingly. After work- ing in a factory as an apprentice for many years, he became inter- ested in the people and the things about them. In many instances he has quelled disputes of labor by bringing both sides together and then weeding out the difficulties. Detroit is much better off than most newspapers declare, in an in- dustrial standpoint of view, de- clared Mr. Clarke. In addition he stated that the next 25 years will show a very marked change in in- dustry and business. The speech lasted nearly an hour and it was filled with enthusiasm, determination, and humor. Indians Live on Home-Made Islands An ancient band of Indians lives on self-made islands, known as the Floating Gardens of Mexico City. As they could not settle among unfriendly natives, they made their homes on a neighboring is- land. Due to their rapid expansion in population, they built the Float- ing Islands. These islands were made of sticks and vines plaited into a raft and interlaced with twigs. Covered with a layer of earth, their floating home soon became colorful with flowers and trees. As the trees grew, their roots anchored in the bottom of the lake making the islands stationary. Visitors enjoy the many striking silhouettes made by the trees of the islands, outlined against the sky. Flowers that grow on the is- lands are sold to inland visitors by Mexican girls. Binding The Craftsman Robert Johnson, left, and Will- iam Walsh, right, bound 60, Vol. 3, issues of The Craftsman this last summer. Most of The Craftsman were bound for Ford Motor Co. and Henry Ford Trade School officals. There are 20 left for sale in the bookstore. In addition to binding The Craftsman, it is estimated by their supervisor in this work, J. J. Onderko, that they have bound approximately 300 books in the last six months. Which Weighs More? Some have asked the question: Does a pound of feathers weigh more than a pound of gold? It is a very old catch question. It is custcanary to weigh gold by the troy pound, which is 12 ounces or 5760 grams; while feathers are weighed by the avoirdupois pound, which is 16 ounces or 7000 grams. The difference is 1240 grams and therefore the feathers are heavier, but there is still another catch. A kilogram of gold and a kilo- gram of feathers would represent the same weight, namely 2.2 pounds avoirdupois, and as there is a difference between weight and mass the two substances are different in weight. If both are weighed in air the gold would displace about l l6,000 of its weight of air, and be buoyed up that much. The feath- ers would displace ten times as much as air, about l 20 of 1 more of feathers to balance the gold. So weighed in a vacuum the feath- ers would be heavier.--The Pilot A prominent local citizen who has amassed a fortune of $100,000 was asked how he did it. I was able to accumulate $100, 000, he said, by constant applic- ation, by unceasing work and study, by being honest, by laboring early and late, by living moderately and cleanly, by saving every penny I could for 42 years, and by the death of an uncle who finally passed away and left me $99,999. 95.

3hf (Eraftoman VOL. 4, NO. 2 HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL, DEARBORN, MICHIGAN OCTOBER 7 , 1938 Police Chief to Speak at Religious Service Dan Patch, Chief of Highland Park Police, will he the speaker at a program commemorating two years of the Morning Services, to he held in the auditorium Oct. 12, 7 to 7 23 a. m. E. 0. Sanders, machine construc- tion instructor and leader of the services, selected Mr. Patch be- cause of his interest in hoys and his many years of experience in police work. All hoys and in- structors are invited to attend. In regard to the coming year Mr. Sander8 stated, We go into this third year claiming all the wonder- ful promises in the Book of God, and looking for our Lord's return. M-Section Radio Club Elects Term Officers Mr. President, I second the mo- tion. The motion has heen made and seconded that we hold our business meetings on Thursdays. This was not the Senate in ses- sion, hut the Radio Club conduct- ing its first meeting Sept. 27 in Room 43 according to the princi- ples of Robert's Rules of Order. These rules of order, originated by Henry M. Robert, a civil engi- neer, are a code of laws propound- ing the principles of order by which an organized body of gentle- men may conduct itself. During this meeting the nine M- section members elected Robert Peterson section president of the club; David Littler, vice-presi- dent; Michael Lusko, secretary; and Norman Hollander, sergeant-at- arms. It was also proposed that in ad- dition to the business meetings the boy 8 should work on their transmitters, etc. on any days that are convenient for them. 2 8 Trade School Boys Attend Night Schools To complete the 60 hours that are required, in addition to the 100 hours received when graduating from Henry Ford Trade School, to obtain a high school diploma, 218 students are now attending 24 eve- ning schools on an average of 5 hours a week. These 218 students do not in- clude seniors. The W-section ranked first in attendance with 78 boys. Close behind were the T- and M-sections with 77 and 63 boys, respectively. Evening school students in the A, B, and C classes represent more than half of the 218. Ten of the 21 students in the T-C-2 class at- tend. Fordson High is attended by 46 students. Ranking close behind are Southwestern, 34 students; Cooley, 28 students; Northwestern, 26 stu- dents; Northern, 17 students; and various other high schools in Met- ropolitan Detroit. One parochial and one commercial school are also represented. It was found that 11 instructors are now attending evening school. Nearly all of these attend Wayne University. Same are taking the course for master's degrees and bachelor'8 degrees, while others are going for the training. Course in Rubber Taught to Apprentice Students To instruct the Ford Motor Co. employees who wish to know more about the history and manufactur- ing of rubber, the Apprentice School has organized a Rubber Course. This course, requested by Rubber Plant officials, is developed and taught by Raymond Shi Hum and Ray- mond Hollander, Trade School alum- ni. Invitation Answers Reveal Interest in Alumni Party Dally the mail brings reply cards to the Alumni Office from the 4500 alumni and instructors who have received invitations to attend the alumni party commemo- rating the twenty-second anniversa- ry of Henry Ford Trade School. The stag party will be held at the Light Guard Armory, Brush and Larned Avenues, at 6:30 p. m., Saturday, Oct. 22. The price is 75 cents. All alumni and instructors are Invited whether they have received formal invitations or not. Reser- vations, however, should be made by calling the Alumni Office. As addresses of all are not available, the committee is aware that many have not received invitations. Taking a cue from the response that has been shown to date, the committee is making plans to feed 1500. The party will be unique-- no long speakers will be on the program. Instructor, Alumni to Head New Plant Anthony Cece, foundry instructor, left the Trade School last week to take charge of the foundry work at the new Carburetor Plant at Milford, Michigan. He will work under two for- mer Trade School students, Harry Barkley, who i s superintendent of the new plant and Donald Backoff, Barkley assistant su- perintendent . Mr. Cece be- g a n foundry work in Eng- land when he was 11 years old. He re- c e i v e d 50 cents a week. Half of each day was spent in school. In 1914 he started work- ing for Ford Motor Company, being transferred to the Trade School in 1926. A. E. Ramey, who has worked for Ford Motor Company since 1927, will take his place. Harry Barkley was graduated from the Trade School in 1922 as an hon- or student. Following is a quota- tion taken from the Artisan, for- (Continued on page 4) Ring in-Ring Out Spend the Difference Do not fail to ring out warns a placard placed each scholarship night near the stairways leading to and from the time card racks.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1938 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Dead Motors Reanimated by Boy Electricians Salutations to the unsung watch- men of the Trade School, to the alert guards who keep the hearts (13 Electrical Maintenance Toole Model T's 30th Birthday Today Thirty years ago today the first Model T or Universal, Ford auto- mobile was built. There were five different makes of the Model T: the touring car, •elling for $850; town car, $1000; roadster, $825; the coupe and landaulet, $950. These cars sold so fast that dur- ing the first year of production, 10,607 T's were sold, breaking all sales records. In the next five years, half a million more were sold. From 1908 to 1927, when the Model A went into production, 15, 000,000 Model T's were built. 36-inch Yachts Planned Thirty-six-inch model yachts will be built this term in the wood pattern shop by the Yacht Club, under the supervision of Rob- ert Dale, drawing instructor. The 12 boys who comprise the club meet each Monday and Friday from 4 to 6 p. m. Last semester, commented Mr. Dale, Robert Gibson and James Ferega did splendid work. James had his yacht displayed in the library. throbbing in every electric ma- chine in the school — the electri- cal maintenance department, under the leadership of Guy D. Custer. The boys who work in the elec- trical maintenance department learned the fundamentals of electricity while working in the electrical department under H. T. Alexander. In their obscure department, the electrical maintenance boys are always ready for a distress j call from an instructor saying ! that a motor is dead or that it ! has some other common ailment. Selecting their standard j equipment--two screw drivers, a j pair of diagonals, a test coil, fuses, and fuse pliers, and any other supplies that they might need — the young electricians hasten to the troubled machine. If the ailing machine has, a voltage of more them 220, the boy sends for Mr. Custer, whose experience lessens the danger of injury from the high voltage. Any motor that cannot be re- paired while on the machine is taken to the Trade School elec- trical department if it is less them one horse power. Motors which are greater than one horse power are repaired in the Foundry Building electrical de- partment . Besides attending to these fre- quent ailments, the boys have rou- tine assignments such as oiling D. C. and greasing of A.C. motors. Poor English Hampers Trade School Alumnus Poor English is a handicap. Many Trade School boys are aware of this; others are not. FYank Kern, a senior at Univer- sity of Michigan college of engi- neering and Trade School alumnus, was asked during a recent visit here, Did you find that the scar- city of social opportunities of- fered you while in the Trade School handicapped you? The only significant handicap I noticed was my English, replied Frank. He realized he was in a more highly educated group. He knew he was speaking incorrectly and he would have to correct himself or be ostracized from the group whose company he desired. He wished he had given more time to English and its use while in the Trade School. By hard work Frank overcame his handicap. Explanations of correct usage will appear in following issues. Nature's Rural Beauty Bedecks Hillside Home By Marvin Martin Picture a carpet of verdure un- rolled down a gentle hillside slope. Add to this the sway of evergreens, rich floral wealth, and red-ripe apples hanging from overladen limbs. Again, picture a man working cheerfully amid this 8ummerbloom, far distant from the sooty touch of urban arts. The re- sulting composite is a portrait, though incomplete, of Supt. F. E. Searle and his life outside the re- straints of city life. Plant life fascinates him. He identifies each flower by its par- ticular habit of beauty. From South Africa, California, Wyoming, and Massachusetts he has collec- tions that thrive in this climate; from every state east of the Miss- issippi he has rocks. Characteristic of that instinct within him that reaches and towers .. .and climbs to a soul in grass and flowers' is Mr. Searle's rural home near Farmington, Mich. Re- posed pleasantly atop a graceful little hill, the up-to-date, home- like structure commands a choice range of orchard and woodland spread unfenced o'er the hills. Fovorlt® View to North To the north is Mr. Searle's fa- vorite view. Looking in this di- rection frcm the rear of the house, the eyes dip into a wooded valley through which winds a white road that soon is lost as the view steeps up between two foliage- crowned hills. A visit to this abode of rugged nature on the morn of Saturday, Oct. 1, 21 years to the day since Mr. Searle came to Henry Ford Trade School, found the place glow- ing with a hospitality, as warm as the heart of its owner. The spar- kle in his eyes as he spoke ten- derly of Nature's visible forms, seemed to claim a fellowship with the kindred heart of the life that throbbed about him. The wanning sun had begun to pry open the purple morning glories as Mr. Searle wandered down the in- cline on which they grew. A lit- tle farther down a variety of dahl- ias danced in the breeze. Here and there about the land- scape were sited stones of varied sizes and shapes which Mr. Searle had placed to advantage. One of these, a particularly large one, was hollowed in the center to with- in one inch from the bottom. This might have been used, it was sug- gested, as a grind mill by the Indians. A pond of water lilies broke up (Continued on page 4)
