Henry Ford Trade School - Craftsman Yearbook (Dearborn, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1940 volume:

1939 - ’40 Annual of Henry Ford Trade School Dearborn, Michigan and Volume 5 of The Craftsman The graduating class ofJanuary and Jane, I94 , dedicates this annual to Henry lord, founder of Henry l ord Trade School. To the high ideals and standards he has maintained, we pay trihate, acknowledging the noble achievements accomplished through his efforts. Aiay his deeds be as inspirational to those who follow as they are to as. In our tomorrow may we look through these pages and see ourselves and classmates as we were in Henry Ford Trade School where we received the most practical training of our lives. May the pictures help us to relive the many pleasant experiences that we bad together. 1940 Graduating Class Members of the Class of 1940: For each of you I have two wishes. They both de- pend primarily on you. I wish you a large meas- ure of success in your chosen field: success in the usual meaning of the term and in the degree yon are prepared and willing to pay the price necessary to secure it. Then too, you may find happiness in your work and not seek it merely as something that can be pur- chased with the proceeds of your labor. For the man who does not truly enjoy his work finds it increas- ingly difficult to enjoy his leisure. F. E. Searle, Supt. of Ford Schools To the Graduates of 1940: Having completed another step in your educa- tion now is a good time to check up on progress made and begin to plan what you intend to do with your future in order that you may work toward the goal yon wish to reach. Now is a good time to discard any faults which have tended to hold you back and increase your in- terest in the things which have helped you ahead. Congratulations on successfully completing this course and best wishes for your future. G. A. Yerex, Personnel Director To the Graduates: The only barometer by which the success of the t rade School as an institution can be gaged is by the application of the training acquired here to your future endeavors. It is the earnest desire of the shop instructors and myself that the experience gained in the shop will prove an invaluable asset in any career you may undertake. Heartiest congratulations, P..Y.

Although students and Instruc- tors have been on vacat ions, and the school paper was discontinued during the summer vacation period, newsworthy events did not cease. However, had The Craftsman staff been active, front page stories would have been written about the following stories: July 10: Nine of the first group of ten boys returned from the New York World's Fair. The following boys were placed in Tool and Die rooms: Leo Champagne, James Hogan, Robert White, Maurice Baker, John Nagel, and Melvin Hall. Emerson Ward went to the Dearborn Body De- sign department while Walter Grunst and Carl Queck were placed in the school’s drafting room. Stanley Kaczmarek was retained at the Fair. July 16: The Three Trumpeteers of the Henry Ford Trade School Band, accompanied by Don Voorhees Orches- tra, gave a special rendition of Three Trumpets during the Ford Summer Hour. July 19: The first ripe tomatoes reported in the Thrift Gardens were picked by John Heinz, shop theory instructor. My garden Fifty bound volumes of the 1938-39 editions of The Crafts- man are now on sale in the book- store. A charge of one dollar is being made to pay for the cost of binding and lettering the books. Purchasers' names will be stamped in silver on the books in the library. grew well because I kept it well cultivated, said Mr. Heinz. July 24; Robert Johnson, T-A-l, had an experience that every stu- dent wants—teaching an instructor. Robert taught Charles Sechrest, a teacher frcan Durfee Intermediate, how to wind an armature. Mr. Sechrest was enrolled as a summer student. July 29: Stanley Kaczmarek, senior who is working at the Trade School exhibit at the New York World's Fair, was interviewed about the Trade School and its functions dur- ing the Bright Idea Club Program over the N.B.C. radio hook-up. August 6: Frank Leach, senior, was interviewed by the Rouge Reporter during the Ford Summer Hour. This broadcast is carried by 80 sta- tions of the Columbia Network. August 7: Paul Knopp, senior, and Charles Epps, alumnus and summer student, had tryouts for the Detroit Tigers. Wish Egan, scout for the Tigers, advised them to report to Beaumont, Texas, next spring. SPECIAL EDITION________HENRY FORD Skilled Hands Aid the Brain to Think Sanely Back from our vacations with pleasant memories of the summer experiences, we enter the twenty- fourth year of H.F.T.S. During this period many changes have taken place in the methods of edu- cation. More and more effort has been made to train young people to use their hands skilfully as well as to think accurately. This new emphasis on hand train- ing met much opposition because many people had bee cane accustomed to consider education as something that could be put into the brain principally through the eye and the ear of the student. These people failed to realize that many messages reaching our brains by sight and sound must be verified by actual contact before we are sure of their meaning. Because it is so wonderfully sen- sitive, the hand has probably car- ried more accurate original infor- mation to the brain than all our other senses combined. This we and other schools are beginning to realize. By training the hand to do skilled work the powers of the brain also expand and the ability to think sanely and accurately increases, but training the brain by other means develops no hand skill. The person who can use tools properly whether in the field of art, or manufacturing, or house- work has an ability the world needs. Only as the individual is able to perform seme service that others wish has he truly earned his place in the community. One thing every human being de- mands is a Job, and there is no sub- stitute. Jobs do not always mean working for money. We work because we must, to be happy. Others give us Jobs because we have the ability to do their work. In this school you have an op- portunity far beyond the ordinary to develop manual skill. How are you responding? _________Supt. of Ford Schools . Club announcements will be made over the public address system in the dining roam. The first regular edition of The Craftsman will appear Sept. 22. TRADE SCHOOL_________SEPT. 5, 1939 1700 Students Enrolled For 24th School Year With the calling of the class roll this morning, instructors are officially opening the 24th school year of Henry Ford Trade School. The school was opened Oct. 25, 1916 with six students and one in- structor. This morning the school has approximately 1700 students and 125 men on the instructional staff, 26 teaching academic work. In 1930 the school had its highest enrollment, 2800. On February 28, 1927, a branch of the school was organized at the Rouge Plant, the site of the pres- ent school. In the summer of 1930 the original school was moved from Highland Park and consolidated with the Rouge School. The High- land Park school occupied th9 Deepest sympathies are ex- tended to the family and friends of George Garabedian, senior, who died of typhoid fever on Aug. 8. building that now houses the Law- rence Institute of Technology. To get instructors supplied with lesson sheets and to take care of rush work or Ford Motor Co., the printing machines ran 24 hours each day last week, printing more than 300,000 sheets. Mr. Yerex to Take Last Group to New York Fair Having completed more than 70 weeks of training, the third group of ten Trade School students will entrain next Sunday for the New York World's Fair, where they will demonstrate their skill to the millions of visitors to the Ford Building by working on drawing boards and various machines. This group, consisting of Frank Leach, William Tilly, Warren Hardy, William Innes, George Dery, Wesley Champion, Daniel Vipond, Coradio Salet, Gerald Grunow, and George Manoli, will return when the Fair closes this fall. G. A. Yerex, personnel director, will accompany them and will re- turn with the group now at the Fair next Wednesday or Thursday morning. Stanley Kaczmarek, who went with the first group and was held over with the second, will also stay with the third group. Stanley is being retained to instruct the new boys. PAGE TWO THE CRAFTSMAN Bee-Ball Dropped; Basketball Planned The discontinuance of bee-ball from the school’s athletic program was announced by Coach V. F. Rich- ards last week as he gave his plans for the fall-winter sports’ season. The indifferent attitude of the boys toward bee-ball last season, Mr. Richards declared, makes it. necessary for us to discontinue it this fall. Basketball, however, will soon be in full swing. The Senior Intramural Basketball League will begin its schedule Oct, 1 and finish in December. This league will be composed of A-B-C- and D-cla8s teams. Teams from the C-class may have as many as two players from any class below their8 or one player from any class above. D-class boys will be allowed one player from any class above theirs or as many players as they wish from any class below theirs. The Junior League, composed of E-F- and G-classes, will begin its schedule early in January and continue into March. The Craftsmen varsity basketball team will begin practicing in the early part of November for their opener with the alumni on Dec. 1. Boys Join T-W-M Kamp Opened on Edison Lake Answering the call of the out- doors, 31 Trade School students under the direction of L. J. Cro- teau, auto mechanics instructor, attended the T-W-M Kamp on Edison Lake near Belleville, Mich., dur- ing the 20 days it was open. The boys slept on cots in a tent and cooked their own meals on a camp stove. With the lake at their doorstep and open country as their back yard, they spent their time swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, baseball playing, horse- shoe pitching, and reading books and magazines. In groups of six and seven they each spent four days at the camp. A fee of $4.50 paid all expenses, including the cost of the camp equipment. Mr. Croteau appointed one of the older boys supervisor of the camp. The supervisors for the season were William Coleman, Edward Bate, Thomas Dobson, Earl Shuttleworth, and Anthony Ortbach. Due to the enthusiasm shown this season, Mr. Croteau hopes to ex- tend the camping period to one week instead of four days next year and to make accomodations for double the enrollment. Suggestions That Wifi Aid Students, Faculty Students need to be reminded from time to time of the school's regulations to keep things running smoothly.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 5, 1939 Ford College Men Study Labor in Summer Forumt A college spirit was brought in- to the Trade School this summe when 40 of the 200 college stu. dents enrolled organized a Ford College Men's Summer Forum which met weekly at the Western Branch Y.M.C.A. to study labor and Indus trial problems in Detroit and to aid in creating a closer fellow- ship among the summer students who came from 75 different colleges. Woodrow Wooley, of Alma College and chairman of the Forum, said that the group endeavored to sup- plement the theory that they got in college by hearing views of men who are actively engaged in Indus- try and who have had to cope with problems of industry and labor. Supt. F. E. Searle spoke on Henry Ford as an Educator. Five other men talked. The Forum took trips to the U- nlted States Rubber Company, Cran- brook School, and Vernor's Ginger Ale Plant. Music was furnished at meetings by a chorus of 14 voices under the direction of War dell Hinderke, frcm Graceland College, Iowa. Ted Leydon, of Bowdoin College, Maine, is chairman of an editorial committee that is publishing a yearbook which will give reports of speeches and activities of the summer. Charles Bowen, of the Uni versity of Michigan, was elected program chairman; Virgil Lyons, of Iowa Wesleyan College, registrar. Band Plays in Auditorium Of WWJ for Boys’ Council At the request of the Boys' Work Council of Metropolitan Detroit, the Henry Ford Trade School Band, under the direction of I. J. Peto- vello, provided the opening music for the Council's program, Inside Stuff, in the WWJ Radio Station ; Auditorium. The boys were taken to the audi- torium in two Ford Motor Co. buses. Despite the fact that M-section boys were on their vacations, 35 band members were present. As guest musicians, the local j boys opened the program with a half-hour of lively band music. Besides leading the band, Mr. Pet ovello played Sugar Blues as a j trumpet solo. Each school having j members on the Council presented a skit, dance, or some other form of entertainment. Movies were also shown. Each year the Council selects, talent frcm the Metropolitan high schools of Detroit and sponsors a similar program.

Although Haig has had no former gardening experience, he made a prize-winning garden on the poor- est soil in the tract. I still can't believe it's true, said he, looking at his bank book a few hours later. Philip was taking his first stab at farming. At first, his father didn't believe Philip could garden and offered to help him, but Phil- ip wanted to do it himself. His father was amazed when Philip won a prize. Henry Ford Trade School Thrift Gardens contained 394 plots. All seeds and tools were furnished by the Garden Department. Graduates Receive Imitations To Annual Alumni Stag Party The annual Henry Ford Trade School Alumni Stag Banquet will be held in the Masonic Temple Foun- tain Rocm on Oct. 21 with an admis- sion price of $1.50 a person. Cards announcing the affair have been sent out to 4,397 persons and will soon be followed by reply cards. These reply cards will be mailed back by the alumni for res- ervations. Anyone knowing of an alumnus who has not been notified of the ban- quet, please notify Butler Brewen in Roam 15. School to Determine Most Desirable Place For Annual Picnic The picnic committee in a recent meeting decided to let students and instructors decide whether the next annual June picnic for Henry Ford Trade School, Ford Apprentice School, and Alumni be held at Bob- Lo Island, the usual place, or be transferred to Belle Isle. The voting will take place next week. A sample of the ballot that will be passed out appears with this issue. Members of the committee eure E. H. Bailey, S. F. Langford, W. H. Moore, W. F. Mueller, and J. H. Wolfe. Before making a decision, the committee urges that everyone study the facilities and advantages (listed below) that each of the two places has to offer. They urge that you discuss them with your parents and families. Belle Isle I. Facilities A. Five hard-ball diamonds (Continued on page 4) Robert Hayward Wins $750 Tech Scholarship Robert Hayward, graduate of the June class of 1938, received on Sept. 14, a five-year scholarship worth $750 offered annually by the Lawrence Institute of Technology to the Trade School graduate with the most meritorious record. In making the selection, the Judges, F. E. Searle, superin- tendent; G. A. Yerex, personnel Robert director; and E. H. Bailey, shop theory instructor, considered the graduates' records in class, shop, and Apprentice School. Bob had his heart set on attend- ing college, but lack of funds pre- vented him. He intends to special- ize in the industrial field. Eugene Adams, who is in his third year at Lawrence Tech, and William Crump, who is in his sec- ond, are scholarship winners from the Trade School. Both are honor students. William is a T.S. senior while Eugene is a body designer.

Don't Fail to Vote A democratic spirit is shown by the Picnic Committee by letting students and instructors decide where the next picnic will be held. This should create a greater in- terest in the picnics. The right to vote on a project should be ap- preciated. This appreciation can be shown to the ccBnmittee by studying the advantages of Bob-Lo and Belle Isle carefully before voting. Why War? Is war inevitable for America? Undoubtedly this is a question up- permost in the minds of millions. It would seem that after thou- sands of years of conflict the peo- ples of the world would learn that the only things gained by war are bloodshed, terror, and debts. The casualities of the World War amounted to approximately 37 and one half million persons, while the total mobilized forces were put at 65 million. Is it possible to ultimately gain anything by war? With figures like these to consider, surely there can be but one answer to the question. Arc You a Disease Spreader? Many contagious diseases such as typhoid fever, tuberculosis, colds, and influenza are spread through drinking fountains. At times fountains in the Trade School are used for cuspidors, and depositories. Spitting in a drinking fountain endangers the life and good health of our fellowmen. The only way to deposit the sputum (this includes gum) is in something that can be destroyed, burned, or sterlized. THE STUDENTS’ VOICE To the editor: I feel that I am expressing the views of the majority of Henry Ford Trade School students when I say that it is positively a nui- sance to try and quench your thirst from the new fountain spouts.

Graduation King Lost in Manistee Returned A few weeks ago when an announce- ment was made that a graduation ring was found In Manistee, on the shore of Lake Michigan, Joe Madden, W-A-3, immediately rushed to the office. Joe had lost his graduation ring July 27, while attending a marsh- mallow roast at Manistee, Michigan. Since more than a month had passed since then, he had given up all hope of ever finding it. However, it was found on the beach a few weeks ago by J. Bassor- ak of Manistee who notified G. A. Yerex, personnel director. After identifying the ring, Joe showed his appreciation by send- ing a reward of one dollar to the finder.

Band Gets Prizes for Playing at State Fair At the request of the National Youth Administration, the Trade School Band, directed by I. J. Petovello, rendered one half hour of musical entertainment at the Michigan State Fair, Saturday afternoon, Sept. 11. A concert had been planned, but due to a shower in the early after- noon this was postponed. However, at 3 p.m. the band paraded from the Woodward Avenue gate to the Shell and then to the Coliseum. Assembling in front of the Colise- um, they played some marches. Several high school bands from all parts of Michigan played at the Fair during the time it was in progress. The management of the State Fair showed its appreciation by present- ing a trophy to Mr. Petovello and a medal to each member of the band. Senior Goes to Los Angeles to Sing on Radio Program Vaughan Heard, senior, left Sept. 17 for Los Angeles where he is to sing on a radio program sponsored by his voice instructor, Thaddeus Wron8ki. Vaughan studied voice for nearly two years with Mr. Wronski before he moved his studio frcm Detroit to California last May. While in Los Angeles Vaughan will continue his vocal training. To gain experience in radio and chorus work is his immediate aim. When the Ford Sunday Evening Hour was organized, Mr. Wronski was director of the Ford Chorus. Vaughan was granted a three months' leave-of-absence by the Trade School. Spiders Are Not Insects But Cannibalistic Animals Did you know that spiders, while still in their nests, kill and eat each other? In a nest of three or four hundred, only a dozen or so survive. Many persons make the common error of calling spiders insects, although they are really inverte- brate animaI8. Spiders have eight legs while insects have only six. The spider has fang-like teeth which are supplied with a poison that kills its game quickly. There are few spiders in the United States that could bite hu- man beings, but of those that could, few could do more harm than a bee sting. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, SEPT. 22, 1939 Craftsman Wins First Place in Quill and Scroll Awards 'Thar’s Gold in Them Thar Hills’ Instructor Discovers Ex-Apprentice Instructor to Teach in Detroit School The Craftsman publication won its second consecutive Internation- al First Place Award at the Judg- ing of the Quill and Scroll socie- ty this summer. Quill and Scroll is an Interna- tional Honorary Society for high school Journalists organized for the purpose of encouraging and rewarding individual achievement in Journalism and allied fields. Quill and Scroll society compli- mented The Craftsman for the par- ticularly high grade of work in printing, typography, copyreading, and make-up. They also compli- mented the paper on having bright, lively sports columns and on the well-handled personality sketches. The only fault found with The Craftsman is in the weakness of the editorial policy. The Craftsman's First Place is exceeded only by the Interna- tional Honor Rating. Trade School Alumnus is Drum Major of Pipe Band The Ford Pipe Band of Dearborn, holders of the American and All- Canadian Championships for bagpipe bands, has Alexander Adams Jr., Trade School alumnus, as its drum major. Mr. Adams was graduated from the school in 1931 and has been with the band since 1934. He is now employed in the shipping depart- ment of the Fabricating Plant. This band, of nation-wide fame, traveled more than twenty-two thou- sand miles last year, entering many contests. The 30 members of the band, all Ford employees, are managed by Alexander Adams Sr. Mr. Adams Sr. is now in Scotland making arrangements for the band to attend the Cowal games there. Although he was scheduled to re- turn long ago, he has been de- tained by the difficulty in se- curing passage on a ship bound for America.

Men blast for gold during lunch time, said Henry Bevan, tool room bench instructor, who visited a gold mine in northern Ontario dur- ing the summer. He came back filled with tales of how this met- al is mined. Here is his story: Traveling 30 miles north of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, amid rug- ged surroundings, we came to the Che8terville Gold Mine. After receiving permission from the authorities we visited the mine where we saw the method used to mine gold. First, holes drilled into the rock beds were filled with explosives. During the lunch hour, when the mine was vacated, the fuse was Ignited. The rock broken by the result- ant explosion was put into convey- ors that carry it through a series of crushings. After the crushing, the coarse particles of stone were put through a ball mill, which pul- verizes them. A cyanide mill was then used to obtain the pure gold. Mr. Bevan obtained a piece of gold quartz and will donate it to the school for display and study. School Selects Picnic Site (Continued from page l) B. Seven soft-ball diamonds C.

Students on Atlantic Ocean When Athenia Was Bombed The horror8 of being aboard ship at the outbreak of war were experi- enced by two Trade School seniors, Thomas Adams and James Brown, cous- ins, while they were returning from Scotland where they visited relatives during the summer. According to Thomas, the persons aboard the vessel were calm until news was received that the Athenia had been torpedoed. In order to prevent a panic, the ship's offi- cers announced that all passengers on the Athenia had been saved. When asked about the war scare in Britain, Tom replied that there wasn't much excitement concerning It and that the sentiments against Hitler were stronger in the United States than in England.

Coots, instructor, who died Sept. 24. signified a right turn, the arm ex- tended straight out signified a left turn, and the arm extended straight out and down signified a stop. The new way warns the driver behind to slow down and prepare for a turn or stop. It is also considered good prac- tice to give the signal early e- nough so the driver behind can slow up. It is proper when making a left turn to make it form the right cen- ter of the road and when making a right turn to proceed from the right hand side of the road. The application of these rules with a little courtesy insures more safety on the highway.

Good posture and a straight-for- ward look shows the employer that one 18 alert, and knows what is go- ing on. On the other hand, a slouching body shows ill-health and creates a bad impression. Many Trade School boys seem to be ignorant of the fact that good posture creates a good impression. Standing with one foot on the bench, or putting all one's weight on one foot, causes the hipe to stick out. Standing in a straight upright position and let- ting the weight of the body rest on both feet, adds to one's appear- ance . Early adult age is the time tc correct this fault so that it will not hamper success in later life. yRTHAY. OCT. 6, 1939 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE All - American Honors Are Awarded to The Craftsman All-American Superior Honor Rat- ing, the highest honor awarded by the National Scholastic Press Asso- ciation. was bestowed upon The Craftsman recently for haying out- standing news and sport stories, editorial page features headlines, typography, proofreading, copy- reading, printing, and make-up. This is the first time such a distinction has been g'ven the Trade School s paper. Judgements were made on the thoroughness of the news interpretation and pre- ciseness of the grammatical form. The N.S.P.A. is conducted by the Journalism department of the Uni- versity of Minnesota. They offer a critical service for all school newspapers in the United States. Of the 240 entries in the service this year, only four in the same classification as The Craftsman won All-American Superi- or Honors. ___________ Apprentice School Tests New Type of Lighting Daylight in the form of electri- cal energy is one of the many fea- tures of the new fluorescent lamp which was recently completed by engineers of General Electric Co. and which is being tested in Ford Apprentice School Electrical De- partment for future use in Ford Motor Co. This lamp has two parallel glass tubes, four feet long, suspended fran a reflector. Wire filaments are attached to each end of the tubes. Electrons flow from one filament to the other through the tubes and are reflected by a fluo- rescent coating on the inside, thus creating a light similar to the light of day. Fluorescent lamps are made to produce daylight, white, blue, red, pink, gold, and green lights. Instructors Win Prizes For Well - Kept Grounds For having two of the best land- scaped hemes and flower gardens, C. R. Weems, English instructor, and C. W. Westerman, cafeteria instructor, were recently awarded prizes by the Dearborn Highlai ds Civic Association. The hemes were Judged on general summer appearance, winter appear- ance, trees, shrubs, vines, flow- ers (annuals and perrenials), lawns, and improvements. The Judging of the homes was done by representatives of the County Agricultural Agent's Office in Dearborn. Cancel Your Subscription- Comics Appear at School The embargo has been lifted— 'tis reasonable to assume. When an educational institution of high standing posts a ccmic strip, the time is propitious for all readers of the educational sheets to come out into the open. The cartoon strip Gasoline Al- ley was recently placed conspicu- ously on the Trade School's bulle- tin board at the request of its superintendent. This was done to give sanction to Mr. Wane's answer to Skeezix's question, Do you think there's a future for a young fella now’days? There's one way to get ahead anywhere, Skeezix, answered Mr. Wane, Do your Job to the best of your ability. Put all you've got into it. Deliver the goods you're supposed to--and then some more.

This group of singers, under the leadership of Paul Young, was or- ganized last February. Each of seven Rangers ccmes frem a differ- ent state, none from Texas. Although cowboy songs are popu- lar in the North, they are not played as often in the South as many people believe. At one time some organizations were afraid that this type of song would dis- appear forever, but after several musical campaigns they succeeded in bringing back seme of its popu- larity. There are five types of cowboy 8ong8--love, work, dirge, hymn, and humorous. A cowboy rarely sings twice in the same way and usually keeps time with the move- ment of the horse's body, using different tempos when the horse is walking trotting or loping. The songs usually sung by cow- boys at work on the ranges have English, Irish, Scotch, German, Spanish, and Negro origins. Display Boards Are Made For Texas and West Virginia Display boards which illustrate the use of cotton and coal prod- ucts used in Ford Motor Co. were assembled in the fourth floor bench department last week. The cotton display has a picture of cotton pickers in the center. Samples of different articles made oT cotton used on the Ford car are grouped around this picture. The coal display holds samples that show the uses of coal in Ford Motor Co. The boards were shipped Thursday of last week. The cotton display was sent to the Texas Cotton Carni- val while the coal display went to West Virginia, the third largest coal producing state in the Union.

Adventures of World War Are Told By Instructor Screaming war headlines bring back to the minds of same instruc- tors memories of their experiences in the World War. L. H. Bartholomew, science in- structor, served in the army. He enlisted four days after war was declared in 1917 and was placed in the 150 th Machine Gun Company, 42nd Division. Although he saw action on many fronts hi8 biggest battle was the Mouse-Argonne. During the course of the war, he was gassed three times. His nearest contact with death was when a bullet struck his steel helmet. Once while observing enemy move- ments from a tree in the Luneville Sector, Mr. Bartholomew couldn't resist the temptation to shoot at an enemy plane that passed close overhead. He missed. About fif- teen minutes later, the enemy gun- ners got the range of the woods and let go with their big guns. Mr. Bartholomew lost no time leav- ing the vicinity.

Their messages follow. I have been much Interested in the progress of the Henry Ford Trade School, and am sure the re- union of those who have been fac- ulty members and students of the school during the past twenty- three years will be impressive, and very enjoyable. With congratulations and best wishes, I remain Yours sincerely, B. J.

Stoeltlng Phone Mo..................Oregon 4600 Line 4163 Vol. V, lo. 3_____________Friday, Oct. 20, 1939 On the Spot Throughout this issue alumni, students, and instructors are praised, and deservedly so. For creditable remarks are valuable. A standard has been set by the alumni that all must live up to or lose in prestige. Though this standard is high, the old grads should not be con- tent to stay as they are; they should continue doing the deeds that have made them praise-worthy so that they may continue on to greater achievements. Present students cannot afford to let down on the pace set by the alumni lest they detract frean the ponor passed along to them. Initiative Gets One There Initiative is a quality that can neither be bought with money or ac- quired by force. Whether or not this trait is included in a per- son's repertoire of good points de- pends solely on the individual. Though the task be to prepare simple school lessons, th e person possessing initiative will find himself at a distinct advantage over the ordinary straggler. The ability to begin something and stick to it to the end has al- ways been recognized as the asset it really is. Employers are al- ways willing to give a little some- thing extra to the fellow who can look to the future and do something about it through his own in- itiative. Nothing is impossible to a will- ing mind. J. F. Wright Answers Students’ Questions on Human Engineering Students who are studying Human Engineering, a course developed by J. F. Wright, D.C.S., are required to write letters giving their in- terpetation of the unit. Personal questions in these let- ters will be answered privately by Mr. Wright. The general ones will be answered by him through The Craftsman. The following question was asked frequently in the first group of letters: What is Human Engineering or Reading the Price Tags of Life? Human Engineering is simply learning how to live. As there is a price tag attached to every thing we think, say or do, heading the Price Tags of Life is intelligently selecting material that will build a healthy, success- ful, and happy life, and leave this world a better place In which to live. STUDENTS’ VOICE To the Editor: Since Bob-Lo has been chosen by the majority for the picnic site, why don't the committeemen get together and make arrangements for a boat to be chartered for the Trade School students and instruc- tors and their friends only? Also why not revise the program instead of using the same procedure each year? - A Picnic Fan The boat situation is under con- sideration at present and sugges- tions for a change in program will be accepted. To the Editor; We would like to know if itwould be possible to sing popular songs on Thursdays if we brought our own song sheets? - -A Singing Fan Popular songs may be sung pro- vided arrangements are made in ad- vance with Fred Nicholson, instruc- tor in charge of singing. ______________FRIDAY, OCT. 20t lQj Socially Inclined Senior Enjoys Southland Vis, I think I would rather live a small southern town than here, says George Wardlaw, senior, wt works in the Apprentice School of. fice, because the people ther seem more friendly and hospitable! While on his southern vacation, George found a great deal of en- joyment in eating fried chicken and hot biscuits for breakfast. On Sat urdAys he went to town, sat on feed bags, and talked with the native farmers. Since returning frem his visit to the southland, George has beer flashing a picture of a Tennesses girl around. To be a teacher of teachers li the subjects of civics and econom- ics is George's ambition. He en- joys this field of work because he likes to tell others what to do, and because it gives him an oppor- tunity to meet many differen . kinds of people. George has the eyes of a dreamer, and when he gets a chance to in- dulge in this passtime he build! elaborate air castles. Navy Day and Birth of Teddy Roosevelt Soon to be Celebratu October 27 is not only cele- brated as Navy Day but it Is also the birthday of a great A- merican--Theodore Roosevelt. Navy Day is a day set aside to commemorate the achievements and exploits of the American Navy. The celebration of Navy Day is set on this date in commemoration of Teddy Roosevelt for his ef- forts toward building up the American Navy immediately pre- ceding the Spanish-American War. The Navy played a leading role in our victory during the war. Since then the United States has been a first class naval po - er and for this Teddy Roosevelt deserves much of the credit.

Michigan Motor Vehicle Law books are obtainable for a one-day loan from the library. Rules and other informati an will be found on the enclosure. Pat: Do you file your nails? Sally: No! I Just cut them and throw them away. Congratulations (Continued frcn page l) should have been more, for it is my belief that the Henry Ford Trade School should have been started sooner than it was. In fact, it is becoming more and more noticeable that the Company will have to depend increasingly on the School, not only for future, high-caliber mechanics and techni- cians, but for executives as well. I hope that you will enjoy, not only a happy evening, but a future of success and prosperity. Sincerely yours, Whatever success has been a- chieved by Henry Ford Trade School is the result of two vital factors: the interest of its students and the enthusiasm of its instructors. Best Wishes, F. E. Searle I regret very much that I cannot be with you to enjoy the twenty- third anniversary party of the Henry Ford Trade School. I wish to congratulate the alumni for the splendid showing they have made. Our Trade School is turning out the kind of citizens we need, and I expect and hope that, as the years go by, our graduates will live up to the fine examples you have set. Sincerely yours, A. M. Wibel Former German Soldier Relates World War Adventures Don't believe in war stories unless they are against the war,” says William Standhardt, German soldier of the World War who is now head of the Trade School brick- laying department. On August 4, 1914, Mr. Stand- hardt and his four brothers, two of whcm were later killed, entered the war. Mr. Standhardt was as- signed to the Cavalry Regiment. While in East Prussia, his regi- ment got into a street fight with a group of Russian Cossacks. Mr. Standhardt received a saber cut an the back of his head which nearly split his skull and which laid him in the field hospital. When released frcan the hospital, he was transferred to the heavy artillery unit. Once he was stand- ing near a 150mm howitzer watching a gun crew load a 100-pound shell into the gun. The shell exploded before it was fired, killing five men and wounding a score of others When the cavalry regiment that Mr. Standhardt was originally in started far the front, there were 284 men in it. When it returned after the war was over, only six of the original 284 were left. With all these tragic memories, Mr. Standhardt is now an ardent pacifist and hopes to see war abol- ished forever.

Although it is Just a hobby with Robert, he takes amateur radio work seriously. With the equipment he built himself, he is capable of contacting persons within a 2000- mile radius. A 32-watt transmitter and a 242- foot aerial are among the numerous things he has built. He also built the 40-foot tower and 40- foot mast frem which the aerial is suspended. Robert has started building a new 500-watt transmitter, which, when completed, will be six feet high and 19 inches wide. With this transmitter he expects to get a stronger signal. Appreciation for Helpfulness Is Voiced by Ford son Schools Henry Ford Trade School is cele- brating its twenty-third anniver- sary. The Fordson schools wish to extend to the administration and everyone connected with this splen- did institution our heartfelt ap- preciation for the helpfulness given to us during these fruitful years. You have helped to make real men out of many of our boys and assisted in our programs of study in many valuable ways.

Alumni Reveal Interests In Reservation Letters Detroit Public School Men Send Letters of Praise At the time of the Alumni Party when former students begin writing in for reservations, their wherea- bouts and their interests are learned. The following are ex- cerpts from letters received re- cently. Harry F. Erdman, '25: I am glad that the Alumni Party is to be held in the Masonic Temple because the surroundings are the best, and this event rates the best. I wouldn't miss it if it cost $5. On Dec. 16 I am to be installed as a Worshipful Master of the Pil- lar Temple of the Masonic Lodge. I believe that I am the first Trade School graduate to become a Master and, according to records, the youngest man ever to have this honor bestewed on him in the State of Michigan.

In four years I hope to be a doc- tor. it James F. (Minnie) Minnet, '31: I was graduated from Columbus Uni- versity School of Law last June. I am now ready to be admitted to the Bar of the District Court of the United States for the District 'of Columbia. Johnny Jones--Dad, what is the dif- ference between a cat and a ccmma? Elder Jones—I don't know; what is it, Johnny? Johnny--A cat has claws at the end of its paws, while a comma i s a pause at the end of the clause. To express their appreciation for what Henry Ford Trade School has done for boys in Metropolitan Detroit, four men from the Depart- ment of Vocational Education of The Detroit Public Schools recent- ly sent in letters of praise. These men have had close deal- ings with the school over a period of years. Names and messages follow. Dr. Warren E. Bow, First Assistant Superintendent It is a happy event to rejoice with you upon the continuous pro- gress in the developement of the Henry Ford Trade School over a period of twenty-three years. We who have been privileged to serve in the interests of the edu- cational function of the community appreciate the contribution that the Henry Ford Trade School has made, not only to the pupils of the school, but to the schools of the community, by indicating to us outstanding procedures. The School has emphasized that boys may receive growth through a practical type of curriculum which will enable them to enter almost any field of endeavor. Earl L. Bedell, Director of Vocational Education Congratulations are in order: The Henry Ford Trade School has served a large number of boys over a period of twenty-three years.

This badge is to be worn by boys of the Safe- ty Club which usually consists of 12 members, four from each section. They are either seniors, A-, or B-class students chosen because of their good conduct and ability to sug- gest sound safety practices. John Martinowicz and Michel Spitz, seniors, are the only ac- tive members of the club now. More will be enrolled later in the semester. When a boy receives a safety badge it becomes his property and does not have to be turned in when he leaves the school. contributions in the various capac- ities which they have served in their communities, and to the school which has been so well con- ducted that it has affected the lives of so large a number of our youth. To be an alumnus of the Henry Ford Trade School is a distinctive honor. It is an honor because the boys who have graduated from that school have been successful and after all it is the graduates of a school that determine how good a school it is. It is a matter of personal satis- faction to me to welcome into the Detroit Public School System as teachers several graduates of the Henry Ford Trade School. The alua- ni, therefore, have a great respon- sibility in maintaining the high standards of the school which you represent. A. D. Althouse, Supervisor of Vocational Education In connection with my work in the Detroit Public Schools it has been my privilege to work with students and alumni of Henry Ford Trade School in the evening school department, particularly with those who are working for their high school diploma.

Old Timers Reminisce As Annual Tarty Nears Each year, a3 the Alumni Party- approaches, the old timers begin to reminisce about the early days in the school. Following are seme acts they cannot forget. Once 13 boys tipped over their bowls of stew on the table. For this demonstra- tion of ill-man- ners they were made to bring their own lunches and eat them while sitting on the floor. The next day their parents were invited to come and taste a Trade School lunch. At one of the minstrel shows, Leonard Bridge was singing Let Me Call You Sweetheart to a beauti- ful blonde in the audience. As Leonard sang, the spotlight moved back and forth between the singer and the girl. Tommy McKay, also in the audi- ence, upon seeing the blonde, took an immediate liking to her and Jflade known his affections to some associates. After Leonard had completed his first number, he called the miss to the stage, put his her, and looking into arms her around eyes, At this, saiig another selection, Tom became uneasy. As the sInger finished his song, he leaned over and kissed the blonde. Upon see- ing this, the se- cret lover wa3 furious. Then the beautiful blonde girl smiled at the audience, placed her hand on her head, and removed her wig. It was none other than Nor- man Graham, another Trade School student. Tccimy was not only dis- appointed but received a thorough ribbing as well. Little Clarence Faner was once absent from class for a whole peri- od in 1926. When he was finally lo- cated, he was dan- gling by his belt from a hook in the lavatory. He had been left by Gil Plotzke, onere prtliLK. Howard Ludwig, and Bill Schultz.

Eddie Luttenberger, one of the famous Luttenberger twins, once took two bottles of milk. He was caught by the watchful F. W. (Eddie) Edwards, then personnel director, and made to drink both bottles without pausing, as punish- ment. Wnen he had finished, tears were streaming dtown the crimson face of the milk thief. At a Thanksgiving football game, Handsome Harry Erdman was knocked uncon— sc ious. His old pal, Big John R. Graham, who was 8 ix feet four inches tall, and Mr. Edwards went to visit him in the Albion Hospi- tal. That night John and Mr. Ed- wards rented a room and slept to- gether. According to Mr. Edwards, Graham slept long and well.

C. McDonie, lathe instructor. Mr. Righter was introduced to the boys by Mr. McDonie. Begin- ning his talk, Mr. Righter des- cribed a few of his experiences as an amateur and professional in the wrestling business. Wrestling, said Mr. Righter, is one of the best sports to ex- . ercise all the muscles in the body. The meeting was adjourned with Mr. Righter premising the boys an enjoyable time in the club. He I plans to take the boys to Ann Ar- bor to see how the College Var- sity Wrestling Team mixes 'em up. J Competition in the Wrestling Club will not be specialized.

E. Lewi8 Hayes, Principal Boys' Vocational Schools From its beginning the Henry Ford Trade School has had the whole hearted support and admira- tion of trade and vocational teach- ers in the Detroit Public Schools. Being an employee of the Board of Education and having had close con- tacts with the Ford Trade School ever since it was first started, I have always been amazed that such cordial relations could exist be- tween a private school and a pub- lic school. I ascribe this contin- ued pleasant relation to a number of things among which are 1. The acceptance and training of pup i18 of varying ages and men- tal abilities to secure and hold Jobs covering a wide range of skills and abilities. 2. The cooperative school work plan enabling many boys with- out subsidization to get an education and a trade. 3. The acceptance frcm the De- troit Schools of many boys that we were unable to help as they should have been and the release to us in barter of a FRIDAY, OCT. 20 ]c Intramural Basketball League Opens Season Physical Culture Class To Start for Instructe- Senior intramural basketball is getting into full swing again with 13 of the 14 teams frcm the M-, T-, and W-sections already entered in- to competition. _________________ The T- cction Mohawks playing chcir first game against the Wildcats of the same section .

BOWLING NOTES James Lenk, of the champion M- section Maroons, helped his team capture their first win of the sea- son by scoring 12 points against the Rookies of the M-section, cap- tained by Francis DeGrande. Everett Roney, of the T-sectlon Mohawks, closely follows James with 10 points for a single game. Adelcki Scodellaro, of the W- section Polecats, is high scorer for the W-section with 9 points. Two new teams, the (Greenbacks, captained by Albert Andrews, T-C-3, and the Hawks, captained by Gordon Powell, W-B-3, are the latest to Join the league.

For twenty-five years and over, I have never known this educational alchemist to lose his temper, to say an unkind thing of any other school or individual. He has given un- sparingly of his time and tal- ents to help other individuals and schools. I never heard him ccmplain though there were many school crises in the early days. I can say, in sum- mation, that this school which teaches boys to work to the closest tolerances is success- fully directed by a man of the widest possible t o 1 e r - ances. With eight five-man teams in a: tion the Senior Bowling League , officially opened Saturday, Oct.;; at the Riviera Alleys. William Roehm of the Instruct® League, garnered a score of 5£ last Tuesday. Roy Hovis led 1 single game with 236 points. Howard Krupsky and Leo Kalcip ski of the Students' Bcwlis League are tied for high individ- ual average with a tally of 153.

Ex-Trade School Gridder Collects Money for Band In a fashion that reminded class- mates of his earnestness as a half- back on the Trade School football teams in the 20 s, William Don- nelly, 25 collected $126.94 for the Trade School Band at the Alum- ni Stag Party, Oct. 21. During the party after the band boys, who played during the dinner hour, had gone home, William Jumped to the floor and began his impromptu speech. I understand, said Bill, that the band boys have set up a goal. And since they have given so free- ly of their own time to attend re- hearsals we should help them in their goal to get new uniforms. Following Bill's suggestion each table hastily took a collection. With the $126.94 plus approxi- mately $259 that had previously been donated to the band by the school and the instructors, I. J.

For a fellow who is over-confi- dent or egotistical a failure will do worlds of good by bringing him down to earth. An unsuccessful attempt at anything should be charged up to experience, profit and loss. The set-back should give the receiver a little more grit and determination to keep try- ing. All things come to him who waits is not a good slogan for a progressive individual. Even though he fails after attempting something, it should teach him not tc make the same mistake which caused the failure .___ Ride, Don’t Coast I'm making the maximum scholar- ship and this is my last semester, so why should I work hard in class. Occasionally sane A-class student adopts this attitude and proceeds to coast through the A-class, do- ing only the work which he finds easy. Any person who adopts this atti- tude is hurtle no one but himself. He has worked hard to achieve some- thing, then when the emo—is in sight he gives up the struggle. If a student works hard during all the semesters prior to the A- class, is there any reason why he should not continue do5ng his work well so he may leave the school with a better record. I Alumnus is President of Union City Chamber of Commerce Alumni of the Trade School enter into many fields of work. For ex- ample, Alex A. Allie, class of '27 is now president of the Union City, Indiana, Chamber of Canmerce. Following is a letter which he wrote to The Craftsman.

The whale and the aligator live to be one thousand years old, the turtle lives to be four hundred year8 of age and the wild goose lives to be one hundred and fifty, while if man--the highest product of creative energy, lives to be eighty or ninety years of age, we say, He lived to a ripe old age. The fact is, he has lived Just as long and as well as he knew how. Had he known how, he would have lived longer, but because of his ignorance of the price tags of life, he has been committing sui- cide most of the time and did not know it. What do the letters D. C. S. stand for after your name? The letters D. S. C. mean Doctor of Ccannon Sense, a degree that was conferred upon me by college men serving time in prisons.

November 2 is Birthday Of Courageous Pioneei November 2 is a day set aside t commemorate the birthday of Aneri ca's most famous pioneer and back, woodsman, Daniel Boone. He is remembered for hie cour. age, determination and cool head •ness in the face of danger. Once while in camp making salt he was captured by Indians q their way to attack Boonesborou He knew the fort was not prepared for an attack so he premised th Indians that he and his companions would surrender if they did not at tack until spring. The Indians agreed to this Boone and his men became slaves. When spring came Boone escaped and walked, without food or water, back to the fort. The fort was not prepared, but by his sheer de- termination he led them to with- stand the Indian attack. He was a good surveyor, but dee to his carelessness in filing the deeds to his land, he lost every acre of land he had aquired in Ken- tucky .

The story of the school as seen through the students' eyes was told by representatives of each class, beginning with 1918. These alumni, who spoke from the speak- ers table, are as follows: Edward Rutherford '18, Henry Noppe 19, Donald Austin '20, How- ard Hobart '21, John Kelly '23, Stanley Conlen '24, Harry Erdman '25, Eddie VanAsse '26, Clinton Allen '30, Bill Mott '31, Robert Radcliffe '32, Harold Brock '33, Eddie Onderko '35, James McGuire '36, Gerald Anderson '37, Elmer Benzing '38, and Leslie Lisko '39.

Wil- son, first shop superintendent; Tan Watkins, former truant officer; E. Y. Peterson, shop superintend- ent; and C. C. Crawford, an early official of the school. Alumni Instructors to Organize And Plan Annual Parties Alumni, who are instructors in the Trade School and Apprentice School, are anticipating the for- mation of an Alumni Committee, to- contact as many of the graduates as possible and obtain current in- formation about them. It is hoped that there will be at least one man from every year, starting with 1918, on this commit- tee. All information gathered by them will be placed in the alumni record files which will then be kept up to date by the committee. Any Alumni interested in assist- ing in this endeavor to aid in the furtherance of the annual banquet and keeping alumni records up to date should contact Ray Shillum, Ford Apprentice School. More information regarding the organizing of this committee will be contained in a future issue of The Craftsman.

As a G-cla88 boy at that time, Francis wrote about his first days in the Trade School. In that ar- ticle he said, First came my en- rollment day. I left home doubt- ful, yet hoping that I would be accepted. Finally, after being examined and listening to many speeches, I returned home trium- phantly, wearing my badge and show- ing my tool checks. These proved that I was a member of Henry Ford Trade School. I was then congrat- ulated by my friends. This pleased me very much. Then came ray first full day in school.

He was also impressed with the method of teaching used in the Trade School. Accompanying Prof. Stigers were five students who are training to be vocational education teachers. The group was on a visit to De- troit to get acquainted with the various methods of teaching voca- tional education. Other schools they visited are George Trade, Fordson, and North- western. Purdue University is at West La- fayette, Indiana. Its enrollment is approximately 6700 under gradu- ates.

For years this regalia was worn coly by those who were being graduated from colleges or universities. In recent years high school grad- uates have begun to wear them. Below this level they are not cus- tomarily worn. Wearing them below the high school level would tend to lower their significance. When boy8 have finished the Trade School they have approximate- ly completed three years of the prescribed high school course. Those who want to wear gowns can do so rightfully without too much effort, by attending night school. Many Trade School graduates have. It. is hardly conceivable that boys who set such high standards in the mechanical fields would want to lower other standards by wanting to wear gowns before fin- ishing a prescribed course. Give, The American Way Faith, Hope, and Charity. The greatest cf these is Charity. This is a noble thought but like all other noble thoughts, it Is use- less unless put into practice. Now is the time for the students and personnel of the Trade School to put this thought into practice by giving generously to the De- troit Community Fund. Let's raise the needed money by Giving the American Way . 4 M ttt rm HUMAN ENGINEERING byj. F. Wright, D. C. S. What is the difference between Character and Education? John Ruskin said, Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know; it means teach- ing them to behave as they do not behave . Dr. Sheldon says, Con- duct writes history, not knowledge of facts . Compare Human Engineering with ! some other things we know that are useful. We have the thermometer, barom- eter, speedometer, and micrcmeter. A Human Engineer who successfully Reads the Price Tags of Life is a Humancmeter. Students Relate Blessings as Thanksgiving Approaches As Thanksgiving Day approaches, students express what they are thankful for. The Craftsman Qui- zician went about the school and asked this question: What have you to be thankful for? Follow- ing are the answers he received. Frank Credit, M-G-l: I am thankful I live in a country where we use baseballs and foot- balls instead of cannon balls. John Matie, M-G-l, I am thank- ful for my life and health. Also for the opportunities I have in the Trade School. Leonard Fabiano, T-A-i: I am thankful I live in America, where precision tools are used for construction and not destruc- tion. Gerald Siebel, M-G-2; I am thankful that I am in Henry Ford Trade School, because it gives me a future to look forward to. j A boy who saw a Ford Deisel loco- motive pushing a string of freight car8, the front of which was hid- den around a curve, exclaimed, Gee, Daddy, hasn't that train got a fancy caboose? ______________FRIDAY, NOV.17, M Happy Huntsman Happier During Hunting Seasor Now that hunting season is j- full swing, Arthur Happy Lahmar clerk in the transfer crib is ey happier than usual, for now i spends his week- ends at a Hunting Lodge near Kalama- zoo with seme com- panions .

The native pay is six mi Ire is a day or 30 cents in American money. Mr. Groth said this wage is ex- tremely high for that type of work in Brazil. In 1933, Mr. Groth worked on the Farm for Unemployed Trade School Boys. Later he worked in the Ford Motor Company Chemical Plant. In January 1937 he left by plane for the plantation, and ar- rived there four days later. There are many diversions for the men, such as the monthly mail, the weekly movie, a radio which will pick up Schenectady, N. Y., billiards, and the evils of poker, Mr. Groth said.

Since then it has changed hemes between the print shop and the Apprentice School office quite frequently. During its twenty years of service it has turned out approximately 35 million sheets. Of course it needed a few repairs newr and then, but what doesn't during twenty years of service? Recently the old faithful reached the end of the trail. Bow- ing to progress, it has been re- placed by a shining new mimeograph, The new device has all the lat- est gadgets-automatic feed, auto- matic counter, and it stops auto- matically when the correct amount has been printed. In short it is new and stout, and with little effort the sheets come zipping out. Above all, it makes little noise. This accounts for the Joy in the Apprentice School office. All these things don't soothe the feelings of the print shop men As the old faithful departs to the Valhalla of all good mimeograph machines, bitter grief tears at the hearts of Messrs.

Commencement Speaker The Rev. Dr. Roy Ewing Vale Trade School Alumnus With School io Years Douglas M. Souter, fourth floor mill instructor, is the first Trade School alumnus to spend 20 years in the school. A native Detroiter, Mr. Souter spent his youthful days in Jeffer- son Elementary and Cass Technical High School prior to enrolling in Henry Ford Trade School, Dec. 4, 1919. Mr. Souter'8 early ambition was to become a draftsman, but at the age of 18 he was offered a po- sition on the Trade School faculty. Since then he has instructed in the shaper, lathe, and mill depart- ments . It has been a great experience to watch the Trade School grow,” stated Mr. Souter. When Mr. Sou- ter was enrolled there were only 300 students in the Trade School. Dr. Vale to Speak At Commencement The Rev. Dr. Roy Ewing Vale, of the Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church, will deliver the commence- ment address for the January grad- uating class at 7:30 p.m., Satur- day, Jan. 27, in the Little Thea- ter of the Ford Rotunda. Dr. Vale has been in the minis- try for 32 years. He was graduated fran Washington and Tusculum Col- lege in Tennessee and Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey. The recipe for a happy life, says Dr. Vale, is doing an honest Job in any relation, so as to have peace of mind at the end of the day. In youth Dr. Vale lived on a farm. He grew up with people who had to work with their hands. All his toys were made by himself in his own workshop in his father's barn. Reflecting on early experiences, he recalled that he had experi- enced the heavy end of a paddle on the postier portion of his anatomy, having made several trips to the woodshed during his youth.

Examples of this can be seen in the storage vaults through- out the United States in which gold and silver are kept. So it is with education. It is extremely valuable to everyone, but the only way it can be obtained is by diligent study. Like other val- uables it is protected by barriers. It is buried underneath the covers of books from which it must be ex- tracted by the education-seeking individual. Each year of school is one more step up the ladder leading over the wall and down into the vaults where the priceless treasure, ed- ucation, is kept.___ Buy The Craftsman The Christmas Edition of The Craftsman will be sold to aid the Old Newsboys In their self-ap- pointed task of making this Christ- mas a happy and long-remembered one for Detroit's 70,000 needy children.

Frank Tarr, senior: My thoughts duririg school hours are usually on my Job, but at times I do think of a healthy meal or my next scholar- ship. Raymond Fretz, W-A-l: Just late- ly I have been wondering who I will take to the graduation prean. Outside of this I keep my mind on my Job and my future.

The plan calls simply for the artistic bending of a common sil- ver spoon so that the dipper rests snugly, bottom up, against the wearer’s wrist. Decoration comes from the proper use of variously colored nail polishes. Other wearers deftly paste photographs within the spoon. Re- ports show these pictures, for the most part, are not fathers or mothers, but of persons nearer to the heart of the wearer. unm HUMAN ENGINEERING by ‘F Wright’D c s- In the Human Engineering course will we learn to break bad habits? Also, are they hard to break? In the course we have lessons on habits which will show that good habits are as hard to break as bad ones. In Reading the Price Tags of Life we can easily determine how to select the good habits from the bad ones. Is losing one'8 temper injurious in any way? We also have a lesson on anger which will show the evil effects, both physically and mentally, in losing our temper. One's health may be seriously impaired by losing the temper. Atom is the Smallest Indivisible Unit of an Element Atoms are so small that 100 mil- , lion of them placed end to end would hardly form an inch-long chair. They are so tiny that a grain of dust placed next to one compares with an ant beside cm elephant. An atom is the smallest indivis- ible unit of an element made up of protons and electrons. The latter are charged with negative electric- ity and revolve in orbits around a central, comparatively heavy nucle- us of positive electricity. Scientists know that atems will ® ke different elements if broken up by colliding with other atoms at enormous speeds. Tiny as the atem is, it can’t be broken up without the use of tre- mendous force, therefore, special ®achines have been built for this purpose. The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. has undertaken the task of smashing atoms and has built a machine that resembles an enormous metal pear 65 feet high and weighing about 90 tons. One of the greatest results from atom smashing is a man-made sub- stitute for radium, one of the rarest and most costly elements on earth. This will be a great aid in fighting the dreaded cancer disease In patients needing radium treatment. It is difficult to say what other uses at cm-smashing might have in the future, but these ex- periments will help man to under- stand the nature of matter and will lead him further along the pathway of knowledge. Inventor of Basketball, Dr. James Naismith, Dies Dr. James Naismith, inventor of basketball, died last Tuesday. Back in 1891, Dr. Naismith took two peach baskets, an old ball and invented the game which is so pop- ular today. The creation of basketball is quite an exception in the world of sports, for, unlike other games which are usually derived frem simpler forms, it was formed through the research work of the Y. M. C. A. college at Springfield, Maes. Development of this game came through an attempt to produce a game that would be as popular in the winter as baseball and foot- ball are in the summer and autumn. Many requirements had to be met by this sport, the first and most important of which was that it must be playable indoors. Two other requirements were: it had to be attractive enough to hold the interest of the players, and it could not have the reputed rough- ness of football. To this day basketball has filled these requirements. Its popularity is due to the fact that there are many teams com- posed of both men and women. Former Detroit Edison Employee Joins Apprentice School Staff George J. Pipper, former employ- ee of the Detroit Edison Co., was recently made a member of the faculty of the Ford Apprentice School. Mr. Pipper, a resident of Grosse Pointe, was graduated from Grosse Pointe High School and later did four years of college work at the University of Michigan. Here he received his degree of bachelor of science in electrical engineering. First Printing With Movable Type Done foo Years Ago Three hundred years ago the first printing with movable type in colonial America was done by Stephan Daye, who, at Cambridge, Mass, on Sept. 25, 1639, printed The Freeman'8 Oath . He had Just received the press form England when he printed the oath which dealt with the civic rights and duties of the colonies. The printing press is now owned by the Vermont Historical Society, and is on exhibition in New York. A new United States three-cent postage stamp has been issued de- picting the press.

Of five instructors who went in chase of the fleetfooted animal, none could boast of a kill. W. L. Goehmann, lathe instructor, bagged a cold after several days of trailing the elusive deer. Steve Chayke, grinder inspector, failed to get close enough with the salt shaker . C. 0. Phillips, precision tool instructor, and F. W.

Six Basketball Teams To Vie at Annual Tilt Six basketball teams will clash for honors tonight, at 7:30, at Lowrey School, Jonathon and Hag- gerty Streets, amidst the tempos of the Trade School band as the fifth Annual Basketball Night gets under way. The initial game on the program will feature the Senior Intramural Championship at stake, followed by a tilt between the Craftsmen Var- sity cagers and the Alumni five. Concluding the program will be the friendly clash between the shop and class instructors. SPORTS FLASHES ■ Don’t be surprised if you see the basketball players report to Lowrey School before game time, at- tired in their newest dress. There is a reason--a dance will be held immediately after the game in the Lowrey School Ball Room. ■ It seems that Little Italy ha9 monopolized the Craftsmen Var- sity squad for seven out of the twelve players are of Italian de- scent . ■ Bill Bell, of the T-section Mohawks, was unable to participate in the deciding game of the semi- finals in the intramural playoffs between the Mohawks and the Wild- cats because of appendix trouble. ■ Hat8 off to the Apprentice School--all of its instructors have purchased season basketball tickets.

Peace on Earth . . . Songs ring out through the night with a touching softness. Now and then the peal of a church bell can be heard with a holy quality. Tiny tots blend their voices in carols to add the touch of an angel's choir, all bringing merriment and rever- ence to our Christmas Eve. Greetings and shouts of Merry Christmas fill the air. Shop- keepers are hurriedly preparing to close, and on the streets everybody is scurrying heme to send excited children off to wait for St. Nick. As lights go out one by one, the stars take on a new brightness and bathe the earth in a strange warm light. The wind dies down and all noises cease until finally the earth sleeps in a revered silence. But only for a short time for sleepy eyes will soon open wide with Joy and behold a glorious Christmas Day.

Curb Snap Judgments Mistakes and errors are common in our civilization, but there is a time when a brake must be ap- plied to certain mistakes; namely, snap Judgements. To avoid making snap Judgements, wise persons usually observe the following guideposts: Avoid draw- ing hasty conclusions; accept an- other's viewpoint only if worthy; think of the Judged as a human being and not as a member of a cer- tain race or creed; and consider all the phases of the situation. Get Training; Get Ahead I wish I had continued school when I was about your age. This expression is common today among adults. Since certain qualifications are required to obtain a good position, a person who is well trained has a good chance to succeed, while a person who lacks training may find it difficult. 'Drums’ by James Boyd is Real Story of Revolution | Would - be Metallurgist Is Loyal Craftsmen F; Drums , an Interesting hlstor- torical novel written by James Boyd, contains a fascinating story of the real drama of the American Revolution set forth in a series of vivid scenes from the past. The reader of this book who sits thinking over the story when he has finished it will recall, as in pageant, scene after scene: the cy- press-hung river, as it broadens to the sea, with a small boy crouched by a negro at the bow of Captain Flood's boat; the pioneers gathered by their meeting house In the pines; the old Cherokee Indian squatting by the fire hearing drums, drums beating danger for his people; the fight in the fore- top of the Bonhomme Richard; the Continental Army inarching north, symbol of a country united at last. As a whole, the book is an in- tensely interesting story, pic- tured by a novelist who willed to re-create the past. Synonyms Each Dawn I Die ...When the alarm goes off. Deep in a Dream .......In English class. Man in the Iron Mask .......Trade School arc welder. My Prayer ......Oh! for a seat on the bus. Boys Town .......Henry Ford Trade School Angels Wash Their Faces .....Just before lunch time. What is Your Rating Broken bones can be carefully set by the trained physicians of Detroit. Lacerations can be sewed up in a few minutes, skilfully too For these men and their skills one should be thankful. But the act that they have to care for injuries resulting from care- lessness is cause for shame. Courteous driving habits are qualities one should praise. They show Social Grace. The desire to drive so that all persons on the highway will be free from in- jury is worthy of praise. No higher resolution could be set than to resolve to drive with care in 1940.

Student Makes 12-Day Visit to Washington Attending a part session of the Supreme Court in Washington, D. C. and watching the President dedi- cate the Jefferson Memorial were the recent experiences of Donald Bangs, M-D-l, who spent twelve days in the Nation's capitol. While in the company of his fa- ther, who is a major in the air corps, Donald visited practically everything of interest in Washing- ton, including the National Acade- my of Science, Department of Inte- rior, Arlington Cemetery, Mt. Ver- non, Bureau of Printing and En- graving, Smithsonian Institute, Li- brary of Congress, Supreme Court, and many other famous places. In his visit to the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation, Donald saw a sawed-off shotgun used by the notorious criminal, John Dillinger. He also saw one- and five-dollar bills, stamps, and government bonds in the making during his vis- it to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The original Star Spangled Ban- ner, Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and the signa- tures of all the Presidents from George Washington to President Roosevelt, the Senate and House Chambers, were among the things he saw. The famous story of George Wash- ington and the Cherry Tree was brought back to life as Donald vis- ited the farm where Washington spent hi s youthful days. When asked to name the most in- teresting thing of his trip, Don replied. Everything . Religious Group Begins Fourth Year of Daily Morning Services The beginning of the fourth year of Morning Services was celebrated Wednesday morning, Dec. 13. in the Trade School auditorium by a group of Christian men--ministers, sin- gers, and musicians from various departments of the Ford Motor Co. Among those present were the Rev. H. W. May, Pritchard Amstutz, Lee Cecil, the Rev. Davis Martin, Rich- ard Muttersbach, W. 0. Keller, Wm. Colbert, Wilbert Harden, A. J. Lewis, Alfred Knowles, C. E. Towne, and E 0 Sanders. All these men take part regularly in the Morn- -Qg Services. Mr. Sanders, leader of the Morn- ing Services, in behalf of all the students attending the services, 3aid, As we go into the fourth year of services, we thank God for the faithfulness of these men.11 Why, when, and where was the Pathfinders of America organized? The Pathfinders of America, with their educational course of Human Engineering or Reading the Price Tags of Life, is the product of more than 60 years of study of the human problem on the part of the founder and writer in his effort and determination to understand why he had to be a slave to evil. Twenty-five years ago, when my success became public information, through no effort of my own, four young men asked if they could study with me. We then organized the Pathfinders of America or Read- ing the Price Tags of Life with a motto To Know the Law and Live a Life of Service to Mankind . In Sept., 1921, the seventh and eighth grade pupils of the Tilden School in Detroit, asked if they might organize a council in their school. They did and inside of two years we had more than 500 classes in Detroit. In 1923 we demonstrated our work in the Trade School where it was studied until 1928 when the depres- sion struck. In 1939 it was again introduced into the school. Honor Roll Boye on th© Honor Roll will receive a two cent lncreaee In scholarship.

Gage Tester Built By Two Departments The toolroom and radio depart- ments of the Trade School recently completed an electric gage tester for testing and regulating the en- durance of oil pressure gages The machine used for testing pressure gages which was recently completed by the Trade School. which are used in Ford automobile engines. The tester gives a life test to four pressure gages at a time. In testing, a 50-pound oil pres- sure is built up and exerted on the gages for 15 seconds out of every minute. This is continued until the oil pressure gage's en- durance is destroyed. This helps to locate the weak points in the gage8. The oil gage tester will be used in the experimental laboratory in the Motor Building of the Ford Motor Co. During the past year the tool- room and radio departments have built 43 testing machines, gages, and other devices._______ Life Certificates Are Renewed By Seven T. S.

The oath to support the Constitu- tion of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Mich- igan must be taken by all teachers in the public schools. This is not required of teachers in pri- vate or parochial schools. The taking of the oath is re- quired by a law passed by the Leg- islature at the 1939 session. Names of those who took the oath follow: E. H. Bailey, R. B. Teeple, C. G. Rogers, A. B. Gorman, C. R. Weems, 0. R. Scott, and E. H. StoeItlng. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, DEC. 22, Madam Curie It was the discovery of radium which made the world conscious of the works and discoveries of Marie Sklodowski Curie, known as Madam Curie through out the countries of the world. Her discovery not only gave birth to new science but the cure of cancer. Madam Curie belonged to an op- pressed nation. While still a child she had a growing interest in physics, which she studied from her father, Vladislav Sklodowski. Worked Thru College At the age of 17 she left home to work as a governess so that her older sister might attend the Uni- versity of Paris. After a year or so at this work she left Poland for Paris where she studied phys- ics and chemistry. The battle to support herself and pay her school dues often resulted in her going without food and warm clothes. After she finished school, where she received a high degree in her work, she met Pierre Curie, a man, with ideal8 similar to her own, whom she later married. The life of these two together was one of hardships and happiness, and although they did discover ra- dium it was years before the world would accept it because it could not be seen nor was its atomic weight known. After their success- ful experiments with radium Mr. Curie was killed after being run over by a horse-drawn cart. Indifferent to Honor After his death Madam Curie con- tinued the work they had started. She devoted the rest of her life to the giving of her time and mon- ey. During the World War she de- voted her time and health to the wounded soldiers. Here was a woman who refused wealth and endured her honor with indifference, a woman to whom peo- ple from all over the world came to seek advice, a woman who during her life received over a hundred honorary titles, and until the time that she died in 1934 contin- ued giving her time and health for the benefit of others. by John Johnston M-B-l The Battle Judge: You're accused of beating your wife.

Any student in the school is wel- come to submit articles to this section of the paper which will ap- pear from time to time. Any type of article of good taste is wel- come, be it poetry, drama, history, biography, or an article on how a lathe should be run. Length Is not important. Two lines may be as good as two pages. Students and instructors are in- vited to come to The Craftsman of- fice at any time to discuss arti- cles for publication. Any instruc- tor in the English department will assist students in his classes with the writing. ____________ The Staff Old Drawing Set in School Twenty-eight years older than the average student of the Trade School is the drawing equipment now In the possession of A. M. Wagener, shop theory instructor. The equipment-consisting of a drawing set, T square, and draw- ing board-was purchased in Pitts- burgh, 44 years ago. It was bought by Mr. Wagener'8 father fer use in the sheet metal drafting department of a boiler industry. The drawing set, encased in black, leather-bound wood, has been rebound but once. The T square is much like the ordinary with the exception that it is made of mahogany. The drawing board is made up of approximately 25 different pieces of wood. On the back are two ad- justable braces to prevent warping It is larger than the modern board. by Robert Johnson T-A-l Her First Game On a typical autumn day, I seated In the grandstand at Brigg Stadium waiting for the • start of the Detroit Lions-New York Giant football game. Just before the kickoff, a you man and his lady friend tod seats behind me. They had jm| settled In their seats when thi girl asked, Johnny, where is Ja DiMaggio? The man replied, grinning, Thli is football, Jane. Joe plays base ball. Shepherd, of the Lions, took the opening kick off on his five yard line and ran back to the twenty, five where he was tackled by three Giants. OhI Those big brutes, all Jump, ing on that one man, said the girl, with a feeling of pity. Johnny, which team is ours? The one in blue, Jane, replied Johnny. How long does a player have to be a half back before he can be- come a full back? asked the girl, again. Johnny thought for a minute and said, I do not know, Jane. May I ask the coach, Johnny?’ No reply. On the next play, Cardwell, on a fade reverse, broke into the open and side-stepped tacklers, finally being thrown on the Giants' five yard line.

After a while of playing with it, they decided to kill it. Hew shall we kill it, they asked one- another? One of these men worked on a large, die hammer that stamps out strips of metal. They decided to put it under the hammer. I'll put It under the hananer,’ said the man who worked on the ma- chine. Just as he was to put it under the hammer the mouse Jumped away. The hammer came down and cut off two of his fingers. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. by Clayton Perry W-C-I rprtttV, DEC. 22, 1935 How Did You Do It?

Your thought and choice of words does not portray you as a person of in- telligence. The English used is not of the type which shows that you are capable of assuming a great deal of responsibility. Possibly, if you utilize your spare time by reading good books you would become enlightened to the necessity of clear thinking and sound understanding.

New inventions are appearing dally, proving that there is no limit to progress. Frequently boys in the shop say, I wonder what will be invented next for the people's convenience? Among some of the products that will probably be on production to- morrow will be one-way glass. One will be able to look through it in only one direction. The glass will also be unbreakable. The Electric Eye One of man'8 best servants is the electric eye . There are two types of electric eyes”, the photoelectric cell and the pho- tronic cell. The photoelectric cell is a vac- uum tube, simpler than an ordinary radio tube. The inner surface of the photoelectric cell is coated with an alkali metal such as po- tassium or sodium. This active coating is connected with a bat- tery, thus charged negatively. When light falls upon it, it throws off electrons according to the intensity of the light. The electrons move around within the tube until a contact has been made with a positive filament, complet- ing an electric circuit. The photoelectric cell can con- trol energy by means of light, while in the photoronic cell light energy is transformed into elec- tric energy. The Photoelectric Cell Whenever a light beam can be in- terrupted or controlled by seme operation which is to be detected, regulated, counted, indicated, re- carded, and reproduced, a photo- electric cell of some type can be employed. The scientists have gone so far as to say that there is no limit to the wonders the photoelectric cell can perform. Some of the wonders are turning on street lights automatically as daylight fades, operating street traffic or elevators, open- ing and closing doors mysteriously, and sorting materials according to size, shape, and code mark. The ones mentioned above are only a few of the many inventions that are experimented upon by in- ventors and scientists daily. Thus, there seems to be no limit to progress. by Ignaza Lombardo M-B-. When the outlook is not good, try the uplook. So you think you’re another Walt Disney, eh. You may be right then again you may have another guess coming. Out in Hollywood, strange as it may seem, all cartooning is not done with pencil and paper. Mak- ing faces is an example. Cartoon- ists must be able to make faces at themselves, and later copy these expressions on faces of animals or creatures of some sort that are used in the cartoons. Not all cartooning is drawing figures or models. Some idea of scenery must be had so people are sent to various places to sketch scenery. In drawing the whale for the latest Disney creation, Pinocchio a miniature whale skeleton was made. Rib cages and lungs were also constructed. Air was pumped into them to give the effect that the whale was really breathing. Clay models were also made and dipped in oil so artists could study highlights and light changes of the whale's skin. After all cartooning is done and the dialog is correctly fitted in, the picture is ready for John Q.

Yeah, said another, and did you see that block, making it worse for Johnny who had missed the play entirely. Well, this went on throughout the game with Johnny getting more angry with each question, such as Why did that man knock the other one down; he didn't have the ball. Why didn't that man catch the ball, and What does a guard, guard, and Johnny, do you think the players are tired? Johnny could not stand any more of this and, turning to the girl, said, Come on, Jane, the game's over. The girl, not knowing the dif- ference, departed with him and, no doubt, Johnny is still answering questions about the game. by Harold Beltz W-C-l PAGE SIX THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, DEC. 22, Trade School Band at Green Lights Program Sitting from left to right: L.

L. Cross, Traffic Divi- sion of Detroit Police Dept., in hie recent illustrated lecture to the class students in the school auditorium. These talks were given to help promote the present safety cam- paign in the school. Officer Cross discussed the var- ious problems of the rural and lo- cal highways. Speed, turning and stopping, passing, equipment, and parking were scxne of the rules and regula- tions regarding safe driving that Officer Cross discussed. Trade School Gagers Defeat Cooley High The Craftsmen basketball squad won its first high school tilt of the season by beating the Cooley Cardinals 23-18 in the Cooley High School gymnasium, Dec. 8. The blue and gold paced the Car- dinals early in the battle by cap- turing a four point lead in the first stanza. The Cardinal8 then broke thru the Craftsmen defense to register five points in the next quarter. The local quintet staged a 12 point rally in the last half to emerge as victors. Paul Saracino, Craftsmen captain, sank three field goals to top the individual scorers. He was close- ly followed by Thomas Harrington, who scored two field goals and a free throw. High scorers for Cooley were Hinga and Hughes with four points each. The Craftsmen reserves beat the Cardinal reserves 17-14. The scor- ers were paced by John Shingleton with eight points.

Dr. David D. Henry, acting exec- utive vice-president of Wayne Uni- versity, gave a welcome address. Delegates then attended round table discussions and news clinics where open discussion and critical service were held. A banquet, and a play presented by the ’ ayne University Theater were in- cluded on the program.

In the first game the Rookies, M- section champions, tamed the T-sec- tion Wildcats by a 14 to 12 score, to cop the Senior Intramural Cham- pionship. John Shingleton, M-A-l, sank the winning basket in the final minute of play. High scorer for the game was Francis DeGrande, M-A-3, with eight points.

An outsider had entered and deposited herself under the type rack. (Or was it himself?) Had someone deliberately let her in, or had she come alone? None knew. She looked chic as she sat there primping herself. Let'8 take her to the cafeteria for sane food, same one ventured. Naw, she's contented right here, came the reply. In hopes of keeping her for a mascot, she was put on top of the type rack. The fickle female,that she was, left the rack and was seen later following a Janitor who had given her some milk. Still later she was seen in the shop strutting around with airs. She hopped up on a bench and watched the students work. Students extended their invita- tion to her to return at any time she feels able, for they are al- ways willing to help a cat climb the ladder of higher education. Craftsmen Defeated By Chadsey Explorers The Craftsmen basketball squad received its first high school de- feat at the hands of Chadsey High School quintet, Dec. 13, on the latter's floor by taking the short end of a 29-17 count. In the first half by close guard- ing and accurate shooting the Chad- sey five built up an 11-point lead. After the intermission the blue and gold locals began an offensive thrust and Chadsey's lead was cut to a 19-14 margin, but in the last quarter the yellow tide again broke and Chadsey chalked up ten more points. In the preliminary game the Craftsmen reserves overwhelmed Chadsey's second team 26-14, tak- ing an 11-1 lead which was never relinquished in the first quarter by scoring eight points in less than two minutes. Roney sparked the Trade School attack by sinking three baskets to register six points. Smith led the Explorers with two baskets and a charity toss to register five points. Every man should keep a fair- sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends. --Henry Ward Beecher Greatest stumbling block; egotism. PAGE EIGHT THE CRAFTSMAN T. S. Hands Defeat Coffman and Nalbantian ________FRIDAY, DEC. 22t Trade School Downs To Mackenzie High Initiating the new Mackenzie High School gymnasium, the Crafts- men varsity quintet chalked up their third win of the season by scoring an easy victory over the Mackenzie Stags in a cage tilt last Tuesday, the final score be- ing 29-11. Leonard Taylor, local veteran guard, led the aggressive attack by scoring two field goals in the first two minutes of play. In the next quarter, the Stags strengthened their defense, allow- ing their opponents to register only two field goals. With a series of offensive thrusts, the Craftsmen, using short, snappy passes and quick footwork, retalliated to garner ten points in the last half. Leonard Taylor and Thomas Har- rington paced the locals with eight points each. Hurley col- lected four points for the losers. The Craftsmen reserves defeated the Mackenzie reserves, 31-10. Boulitig Notes J. J. Onderko's team set a new high for a single game by downing 965 pins in the Instructors' Bowl- ing League last Tuesday. This score beats all records since the instructor'8 league was organized two and a half years ago. Cecil Westerman and Frank Paluch- niak won the Christmas turkeys on Dec. 12. The turkeys given this week were taken by Nick Credit and Dominic Traina. Another turkey was brought to the Credit household by Mr. Cred- it's youngest son, Frank. Frank bowled 114 pins over his average in the Senior League last Saturday. Three prizes are to be given to- morrow morning by the Seniors to the highest bowlers. In the Student's League Charles Wallace and Howard Krupsky copped the turkeys by tallying 120 and 114 pins respectively over their averages. There will be no bowl- ing in the Student League until Jan. 6, 1940. Senior Bowling Standings TEAM WON LOST AV. Busch 19 11 .633 Bell 19 11 .633 B.

With the aid of an odd, twisting service, Archie defeated George Mayne, T-A-3, for the title of the senior division in the Trade School. Ed Petzer, T-E-l, bowed to Rob- ert, who displayed a variety of Robert Nalbantian shots and took the Junior champion- ship without dropping a game.

Kennedy Collegiate The Craftsmen hardwood squad paced by John Shingleton, who reg. istered 12 points for the locale 4 downed the Kennedy Collegiate fiye •of Windsor, Dec. 15, at Kennedy. The final score was 28-23. The local lads played a fast de- fensive game, being led by the Ken. nedy squad only once, at the half, and only by a one-point margin. The local lads got off to an early start copping a four point lead in the first stanza. Kennedy then staged an aggres- sive attack scoring ten points in the next period. Phenomenal shooting by John Shingleton and fast defensive plays by the blue and gold locals cinched the game in the final mi- nutes of play. Joe Leskey, of Kennedy, with three field goals and one charity toss led the Kennedy attack. The clever passing and fast breaking Kennedy second-stringers held the local reserves scoreless for the first nine minutes of play. With G. Gauthier leading a suc- cessful third quarter attack the locals defeated the Junior Western Ontario Champs of 1938, 25-23. Sports Flashes Arthur (Happy) Lehman, and Steve Dulimba, seniors, turned to the vending trade for a spell—they sold more than 80 bottles of pop at the Kennedy basketball game. John Dobrei, instructor, who has attended all the basketball games this season, acted as cheer leader at the Kennedy game. He yelled bo hard he was unable to speak far two days following.

Toby David, for- mer Trade School alumnus and present radio comedian who, on his Early Morn- ing Frolic Program over station CKLW, usee 18 different Toby David impersonations ranging from the shrill voice of little Shirley to a Jewish dialect, will be the guest speaker of the social event. Lee Worrell and hie 10-piece or- chestra has been selected by the A- cla88 presidents to render the dance melodies for the occasion.

Drafting Club Holds Party During Christmas Vacation Members of the drafting club and their girl friends were entertained at a house party given at the home of Fred Nicholson, club sponsor, during the Christmas holidays. Motion pictures of the Annual Trade School Outing at Bob-Lo taken last summer, and movies in techni- color taken by Mr. Nicholson were shown. Following the pictures, the group sang songs and danced.

Many students, because they do not know how to dance, do not attend. Are you going to be one of those students who really wants to at- tend the prom but cannot because of this reason? Even now it is not too early for G-clas8 boys to begin to learn dancing. Though their prom is near at hand, the A-class students still have time to learn the fundamental steps. There are places where one can learn to dance at small expense. Attend your prom and make it a big success. Sportsmanship, a Duty Good sportsmanship in athletic activities promotes mutual respect between schools. Students who participate in interscholastic bas- ketball have an opportunity to give the Trade School either a good or a bad reputation. Each player should consider it his duty to keep in the best pos- sible physical condition by get- ting an adequate amount of sleep and eating the proper foods. It should be the aim of every member of the team to play as hard as he can, as clean as he can, and as his coach instructs. When spectators support their team by their presence and their cheers, they rightfully expect, in return, to see a clean, fair, and well-played game. Good sportsman- ship is good citizenship. ©GCfiQGQj KB •� HA MB e3 TUBS c.us S V Frok (r T VO jhow' m rJ «0 P£w ' lone fBPC . pew, XNK, S«.ai . • - fA� � .

One of the nine hydraulic tabic lifters which are under construction in the Trade School toolroom for Ford Motor Company. % The hydraulic tables which have a one ton capacity can rapidly raise or lower fixtures and dies to any desired elevation within the range of 28£ to 43 inches. The lifting principle is similar to that of a barber chair, the oil pressure being generated by a hand operated twin-cylinder pump whose units are all contained in one casting. The actual table is 24 by 32 inches overall. Outstanding features of the ta- bles include a brake and an oil pressure release to lower the table slowly. Both devices are operated through separate foot pedals. The tables are also equip- ped with a safety limit stop that checks the table's maximum height, and an overflow arrangement which returns oil to the reservoir. Song Writing Contest is Still Open to Students The Song Writing Contest which is sponsored by the Alumni Club is still in progress. The writer of the winning song will receive, as a prize, his choice of a valuable wrist watch or pocket watch. Each set of lyrics should be ac- companied by a song, either orig- inal or familiar. The song should be written about some phase of school life as the winner will be the official school 0ong. All entries should be put in The Craftsman drop box. Jan. 19 is 204th Anniversary of Steam Engine Inventor This month marks the 204th an- niversary of the birth of James Watt, Scottish engineer, who in- vented the modern condensing steam engine. Having determined to adopt the mathematical instrument trade, he went to London, at the age of nine- teen, to learn the art. The hard work and frugal living compelled him to return after only a year's apprenticeship. Shortly after his return he endeavored to establish himself in Glasgow. The guilds, however, would not recognize a craftsman who had not served the full apprenticeship, so Watt was forbidden to open a shop. He was appointed mathematical in- strument maker for the University of Glasgow in 1757. Here, in 1769, he invented the separate condenser after examining an engine he had been given to repair. It was found it consumed steam faster than the boiler could produce it. He de- cided that if the steam could be condensed in a separate tank and the cylinder kept hot, the effi- ciency of the engine would be im- proved. He experimented and found this was true. He then invented the steam Jacket and the cylinder head which enabled him to develop high pressure in the cylinder. THC ORSCPVCP A gardenia or two this week to 0. R. Rothbone, bookstore instruc- tor, for contributing first to the Goodfellow Fund when The Craftsman was sold recently. When many students returned from their Christmas vacations and no- ticed shop theory instructor J. P. Heinz's hand bandaged so that it looked like a gouty foot, they im- mediately suspected that Mr. Heinz had worked in the Trade School shop and had had an accident be- fall him. Mr. Heinz practices what he preaches, hemever, for the bandaged hand was due to an opera- tion he underwent. A shining, new, rubber tired, carefully painted, freshly enam- eled delivery truck is the proud possession of Louis Scott, elec- trical department instructor. To watch Mr. Scott carefully ma- nipulate the truck so as not to scratch it, one would think it meant more to him than Just a glor- ified push-cart. We notice The Craftsman is to have a new cartoonist; namely, Ernest Epps, W-E-2. His first re- sults appear on page two of this issue. $191.07 Contributed in Goodfellow Fund Sale Students and instructors in both the Trade School and Apprentice School gave a total of $191.07 to the Goodfellow Fund by buying the Christmas edition of The Craftsman Last year the proceeds of the sale totaled $168.44. This figure was increased this Christmas by $22.63. The boys who sold The Craftsman: left to right, Floyd Haskell, Donald Long, Paul Ca- tion, Louis Smith, David Littler, Howard Kevelighan, and Robert Johnson. Howard Kevelighan, T-A-l, col- lected $60.09 from the students and instructors in class and in the Apprentice School. David Littler, M-A-l, raised $36.97; and Donald Long, M-A-l, $28.75. These boys sold papers to all students and instructors in shop. Robert Johnson and Floyd Haskell, both of T-A-l, collected $42.59 from all outside departments. Paul Cation and Louis Smith, T- B-l students, collected $17.61 and $5.06 respectively while helping David and Don in the shop. The contributions from the Ap- prentice School totaled $45.37. This year, for the first time, only boys who had previous news- paper selling experience were cho- sen to help in the sale. Christmas Baskets are Given to Six Needy T. S. Families Six Trade School students re- ceived a pleasant surprise Friday, Dec. 22, when they were called to Room 1 and each presented with an order on the Ford Commissary for all the ingredients necessary to a complete Christmas dinner. The total value of the six bas- kets was $26.10. This money was contributed by students and in- structors through the Morning Ser- vices . Last year 13 baskets were distributed among the hones of the less fortunate Trade School stud- ents by this group. William Harden and E. 0. Sanders, instructors, were in charge of raising the funds. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN Craftsmen to Meet Birmingham Tonight The Craftsmen eagers will be out to break the winning streak of five straight games when they meet the Birmingham lads from Baldwin High School in a cage tilt at Bir- mingham tonight. The fact that the lads frean Bir- mingham can put a team on the floor averaging six feet in heighth gives them a good advan- tage. However, the local stal- wart lads taking five games out of six this season promise the Bald- win Mapleleafs some fast as well as exciting action. The probable starting line-up for the local lads will be John Moons and Allie Farino in the for- ward berths while Francis DeGrande and Capt. Paul Saracino work as guards with Bud Cushing as pivot man. As the tentative starters for the Mapleleafs Howard Crull and Dick Gilbert will play the forward positions with Paul Kelly and John McDonald at guard. Lome MacDonald will work at center. The Craftsmen reserves will be out to stop the Birmingham re- serves who have also chalked up a clean slate of wins for this sea- son. Sports Flashes Jesse Ray, senior, entered the Diamond Belt boxing tournament in the 160 pound middleweight class. He went as far as the quarter fi- nals where he was defeated in a close match.

In our twenty-five years of ex- perience we have experimented and found it more satisfactory to give the boys every opportunity to dig out as many definitions as possi- ble in reference to the current lesson. They seem to appreciate this more and more as they become accustomed to conducting their own discussions. We appreciate the splendid man- ner in which the instructors have conducted some discussions, but we are afraid if we made it a rule our subject would Just become an- other class conducted by instruc- tors to the students.

Throughout their stay they have not only gathered a wealth of me- chanical knowledge but have made friends and had experiences which they will remember the rest of their lives. Steadfast cooperation from the instructors has helped them tre- mendously in their work. The work they did in the school put them on their mettle. The graduates should feel proud that they came through with such high scholastic ratings. Many accidents could be avoided if automobile drivers wouldn't allow their windshields to become frosted to such an extent that the vision Is obstructed. There are enough hazards to win- ter driving without the added per- il of frosty windshields. Good drivers don't allow their windows to remain frosted. In this way they make the streets and highways a safer place for pedestrians as well as other motorists. There are many devices to pre- vent frosting such as the fan, hot air passed from the motor to the windshield, and the electric fila- ment. If a car is not equipped with one of these, an open window will serve the purpose.

To pick one's teeth is considere! poor manners of the worst kind, s: why use toothpicks? When asked this question, Dr. I G. Chambers, Trade School dentist, replied: I do not advise the u« of toothpicks. Besides being vulgar habit, there is a good pos- sibility of infection being car- ried into the gums. Pieces of pick that have broken off, lodge between the gum and the tooth, asc swell and distend the gum tissue. Dental floss is recommended far removing debris from the teeth.

JAN. 26, 1P40 Chief Sitting Bull’s Great-Grandson Speaks at Morning Services and Special Assemblies, Jan. n Attired in full Sioux Indian re- galia, Chief White Feather, great grandson of Chief Sitting Bull, spoke at the Morning Services and two special assemblies Friday, Jan. 12. The Chief sang, played the piano, spoke of Indian habits, and told of his many experiences. He was wearing his great grand- father's first ceremonial vest, which has more than 1,000,000 heads on it and is insured for $10,000. The vest took five women four and one-half years to make. Wore Peace Bonnet As a headres8, the Chief wore a large white and gray feathered peace bonnet. He also owns a red and white war bonnet, the feathers of which have been dipped in the blood of white men killed in bat- tle. Around his neck was a string of boar teeth with a shell at the bot- tom. The teeth, said Chief White Feather, symbolize the strength of the boar and the shell signifies knowledge from the sea. When asked how the Indians inter- pret the Great Spirit, he stated, They cannot explain it. but they believe the Great Spirit is large enough to take in the whole world, yet small enough to be in the heart of anyone. Toured With Metropolitan Opera Walter Damrosch, noted symphony orchestra conductor, introduced Chief White Feather to the Metro- politan Opera, with which he toured for two years. Among other notables, he has performed for President Roosevelt and the King and Queen of England. The Chief commented on the dil- igence and precision shown by Trade School boys in their work. In his talks, the Chief told how Indians married and divorced. In days gone by when present mar- riage laws were not in existence and every year was leap year, the Indian maid would always propose to the brave by making a pair of moccasins for him. If the brave accepted the propos- al he would put the moccasins on and the two would be married. But if the brave did not place his feet in the moccasins but be- .gan to walk away with them, (this signified his desire not to marry) the maiden would quickly take them hack saying, No marriage, no shoes'. After a brave was married and Chief White Feather Chief White Feather in a pose which represents “Subordination of The Great Spit it. ’ wanted a divorce, he simply took all the squaw's belongings and placed them outside his wigwam. She was then obligated to move to sane other hone. After this pro- ceedure the couple was officially divorced! At present, Chief White Feather is touring the country teaching the gospel of God. At the same time he is striving to raise the Indian standard of living. At the end of his talk the Chief gave a parting wish in the Sioux language. Translated it meant, I hope you all get good wives. THE OBSERVER M. B. Numbers, English instruc- tor, has conquered the evil of the new drinking fountains. The prob- lem is solved by a small drinking glass which Mr. Numbers holds un- der the unsteady stream of water from the fountain. Mr. Numbers is determined not to receive a squirt in the eye from the newfangled fountains. We noticed a student in drawing instructor Fred Nicholson’s class trying to borrow sane equipment from another student. Mr. Nichol- son watched the proceedings and knocked points galore off the stu- dent 's records. If said scholars didn't begin drawing furiously, they are likely to have finished the semester with negative ratings in their drawing class. Trade School Mysteries: Who con- ceived the idea of cutting cravats in the middle and wearing the dis- connected half pinned to the shirt with the badge??? Date Properly if Social Prominence is to be Yours Proper dating is important to everyone who is interested in so- cial life. • When one asks a girl for a date he should state the invitation in such a way that it will be equally easy for her to refuse or accept. • If one makes a date for more than a few days in advance, it would be considerate to telephone the girl before the time set. This will relieve her mind if she is thinking you might have forgot- ten. It will also verify the time. • Be prompt when calling for a girl. Do not sit in the car and use the horn for a doorbell. Call at the house for her. • If a car is being used for the evening, go around to the girl's side and open the door for her. • When taking a girl to a dance, drive up to the door of the place where it is being held, let her out, and then park the car. Frail dancing sandals are easily ruined. 'John’ Succumbs to Changing Styles by Clipping Goatee Times change, and styles and customs which have been prevalent die in popularity.

Foster Songs Two Stephen C. Foster songs will be sung by the Harmonizers, in- structors' chorus, at the commence- ment exercises of the January grad- uating class to be held at the Ford Rotunda, Jan. 27. Beautiful Dreamer, and Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair, the songs chosen by the Harmonizers were written in honor of Stephen Foster'8 mother and wife, respec- tively. Stephen Foster was born on July 4, 1826, in Pittsburgh, Pa. The fiftieth anniversary of the sign- ing of the Declaration of Independ- ence was celebrated on his birth date. Stephen was musically Inclined even in his early childhood. When he was about seven years of age, he was taken to a music store in Pittsburgh where he picked up a flageolet and in a few minutes was playing Hail Columbia, though he had had no previous experience with a musical instrument. The first song published by Fos- ter was Open Thy Lattice Love. This was followed in 1848 by Old Uncle Ned, and Oh'. Susanna. Foster soon gained a reputation as a composer of Negro minstre 1 songs. His leaning toward the music of the south was no doubt brought about by his attendance at Negro camp meetings. Old Folks at Home, sometimes called Swanee River, may be classed as an American folk song. Foster never saw the Swanee River. Stephen Foster's picture is soon to appear on a postage stamp. He is the only composer thus honored. Michigan’s Name Derived From Word Meaning 'Great Lake’ Michigan, one of the greatest manufacturing regions in the United States, was once a rich hunting ground for Indians. Since its admission to the Union on Jan. 26, 1837, (103 years ago today) it has gained in population from 175,000 to five million. The state derived its name frem the Indian word mi chi which means great lake. The state seal was presented by former territorial governor, Lewie Cass to the first Constitutional Convention held in Detroit in 1835 and was adopted by that convention. The seal is charged with the arms of the state and has in- scribed upon it Si Quaris Penin- sulam Amcenam, Circumspice. (If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.) On July 4, 1865, an official flag was adopted by the state. This flag was first unfurled at the laying of the cornerstone of the Soldiers National Cemetery monument at Gettysburg. In 1897. a resolution was passed by the state legislature to des- ignate and adopt a state flower. The apple blosscm was chosen.

The device was designed by the Ford Motor Co. drafting roam and E. Cerretani, senior, making final adjustments on the horn tester before it is sent to the Ford plant at Brooklyn, Michigan. the parts were made In the Trade School toolroom. Electrical work was designed in the radio depart- ment . On a blue, enclosed, metal tabl two feet six inches wide, six feet long, and three feet four inches high, are two ammeters on which the current consumption of the ham can be determined and the volume set. Below these ammeters are two gages showing the number of vibra- tions per second made by the dia- phragm of the horn. These vibra- tions determine the horn's pitch. When two horns are used together they must harmonize. Frequency or vibration meters are used in ad- justing their tones. The low pitched Ford horn has 270 vibra- tions per second while the high pitched one has 340. These ma7 vary plus or minus five vibrations per second. The horns are set in position by means of levers. The table holds eight horns, two of which can be I tested at the same time. The tester, which has been made sound proof for the benefit of the operators, can test as many as 200 horns in an hour. This Is the third gage assembled for the Brooklyn, Michigan plant of Ford Motor Co. Students who desire to learn] to type are requested to file an' application with C. R. Weems in Room 42. Each hoy selected will I receive instruction two nights; per week after school for two semesters.

Print Shop Makes Copy of Old Diploma At the request of Otto Miesko, a graduate of the Ford English School in 1916, a duplicate diplo- ma was made in the print shop to replace the 23-year old one he pos- sessed. The Ford English School was or- ganized in May, 1914. Between then and June, 1922, about 16,000 dip 1 anas were issued. The school was organized for men employed by the Ford Motor Co. who had little or no knowledge of the English language. The class took eight months to complete. The school was held in the Highland Park Administration Building. Students attended every day after working hour3. The lessons enabled students to understand and to read and write within certain limitations. These lessons gave them a definite com- prehensions of the rudiments of government, national, state, and municipal.. They also aided stu- dents to become citizens of the United States and to understand the obligations thereof The first graduating class of June, 1915, consisted of 115 mem- bers, the exercises being held at Ford Athletic Field in Highland Park. Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, of the United States court was the principal speaker.

Neither team scored for six and one half minutes until Tom Harring- ton, Craftsmen forward, broke the ice with a field goal. The Crafts- men proceeded to hold the Vikings scoreless for yet another five minutes when the Parkers staged a fast offensive thrust breaking away from the local five to sink the ball for two points. This be- gan a scoring rally that netted the Vikings eight points. The score at the half was 13-8. The Craftsmen tightened up in the next stanza allowing the Hazel Park five to score only eight more points in the last quarter. Leonard Taylor paced the victors with six points. The Craftsmen Reserves trailed at the half, but came through in good style, winning their seventh game of the season,39-32.

Searle will discuss An Educational Program for Train- ing in Skills next Friday morn- ing before a 'session of the American Management Association which is to hold a three day con- vention in Chicago. Mr. Searle will point out that industry is more and more realiz- ing that it is itself largely an educational institution with its foremen and leaders acting in the capacity of teachers. How the Ford Motor Company sup- plements the efforts of such teachers by operating Henry Ford Trade School, Ford Apprentice School, and Ford Training School, with nearly 6,000 students, will be explained in the talk. The American Management Associ- ation is solely interested in the solution of practical management problems. Its membership in- cludes almost every type of in- dustry.

It gives me great pride to make these presentations, said Command- er Frank B. Norton, as it proves the well known phrase of that great and outstanding American, Henry Ford, who said, ’There are bigger and better opportunities for the youth of today, more than ever before. In closing, Camander Norton beckoned the audience to raise their eyes to heaven and thank God that they live in America. The American Legion Award will be given at each future commencement to the two graduating students who have the highest qualities of char acter and ability.

It is now that you should start looking ahead by studying and working hard to build a foundation for your life's work. Begin now; don't wait until you have finished school and then re- gret your mistake. There are two kinds of students. One kind studies hard, does his own work, keeps out of trouble, and is liked by all. The other does little work, tries to copy, is often in trouble, and has a large group of followers but few real friends. It is up to you to take advan- tage of the opportunities offered. Good luck to you as you begin climbing the ladder of success. Safety Maintained Of all the Jobs the instructors have to do, maintaining safety at all time8 in the Trade School shop is one of the most important. Their efforts in this direction are showing definite results. During 1938, students sustained 22 fractured bones during school hours. In 1939, there were six. Last year more stitches were tak- en for home accidents than for the Trade School department reporting the most accidents. All persons who have a part in the maintenance of safety in the school are to be congratulated for the improvement which they have helped to show. NATURAL LAWS VS. MAN-MADE LAWS The airplane is proof of man's successful cooperation with natu- ral laws. The telegraph, telephone, and phonograph are simply steps in man'8 successful cooperation with natural laws to produce the radio. Laws against tardiness or Jay- walking are man-made laws for the better protection of humanity and are not the same in each locality. Natural laws are universal. DEFINITION OF MAN Man is the highest product of creative energy. As such, he is a living fulfilment of the univer- sal law which provides that each thing must produce its own kind. Above this he cannot rise, nor can he fall below. To the degree that man under- stands and lives in harmony with the universal law, he will realize there is no mystery or harm in life or death. Man IS what he KNCWS, and he KNCWS only that which he IS. What is Your Rating The total number of reported ac- cidents in Detroit during 1939 was 44,201. Of these, 5,472 were caused by improper left turns. In making a left turn, the in- tersection should be approached to the right and to the center of the street. Except in new cars which have automatic signaling devices, a signal should be given with the arm. Wait until oncoming traffic has passed before completing the turn. There are two kinds of left turns. The long left turn is made after the center of the intersec- tion has been passed. The short left turn is made before the cen- ter of the intersection is reached. The long left turn is made when turning from streets with street car tracks. _____________TUESDAY, FEB. 13 J Clicking Foils Occupy Senior’s Spare TiJ En Garde 1 Touche!

The paddle was a flat piece of wood formed to suit the purpose of swatting the lower por- tion of one's anatomy. No one was allowed to pen his nane on the paddle unless he under- went the torture heretofore de- scribed.

To the tin shop from all over Hugh Thompson, left, and Ernest Murdock welding a guard on one of the tin shop’s water cooled spot welders. In this department safety is emphasized as can be seen by the goggles the boys are wearing. the plant come orders for guards, fixtures, and devices to eliminate the hazards of moving parts. The tin shop is equipped with nearly every kind of modern ma- chine and tool used in sheet metal work. Approximately 90 per cent of the guards ordered have to be designed by the tin shop. A full sized paper template is then made. Ge- ometry is frequently used in draw- ing these patterns. From this template the students transfer the pattern to the sheet metal. Next the metal is cut, bent, and shaped to the desired form. Cor- ners and points of strain are riv- eted or welded. Tfre guard is then painted, Inspected by the instruc- tor, and finally put to use at its Feb. 12 Birthday of Lincoln, Humanitarian - Story Teller Though authorities don't agree as to birthplace, it is believed that Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth president of the United States, was born in Harden County. Ken- tucky, Feb. 12, 1809. Seated on a long log with a small group of men, he would tell stories so irresistibly funny that at their end the whole gang would whoop and roll off Abe’s log. As president of the United States, Lincoln relished in tell- ing this story: In the days when I used to be on the circuit, (traveling on horseback from one county court to another) I was once accosted by a stranger who said: 'Excuse me sir, but I have an article which belongs to you.' How is that? I asked, consid- erably astonished. 'This knife,' said he, as he withdrew something from his pocket, ' was placed in my hands sane t ime ago with the instruction that I keep it until I found a man home- lier than myself. You, sir, are fairly entitled to the property. location. The tin shop has built guards that range in size from three inches to eight feet. Wesley LaRoy working at layout tabic. Here, after the job is designed, a full-sized template is drawn on heavy paper. One of the most interesting Jobs in the tin shop at the present time is an accordion guard used on a German way-grinding machine. As the grinder runs along the ways, the guard folds up. The guard, which is to be used In the Ford Motor Co. toolrocm, is made up of twelve individual re- placeable sections and can open to an approximate length of 14 feet. Measurements Were Inaccurate in 'Good Old Days’ More than six hundred years ago a foot ranged in length from 9 3 4 inches to 19 inches. In 1324, King Edward II of Eng- land decreed that three barley corns, taken from the center of the ear, placed end to end, would eiual an inch. It would be interesting to see the expression on King Edward's face if ho could see the precision tools of today measuring to one Billionth of an inch. The palm, one of the first known units of measure, was used by mer- chants for measuring cloth. A palm was the width across an open hand at the base of the fingers or about three inches. Imagine a shopkeeper with small hands trying t to compete with a rival who had hands like hams. The first measuring machine ca- pable of detecting differences of one millionth of an inch, was in- vented in 1851 by Sir Joseph Whits- worth. Johansson Gage Blocks, capable of measuring within one millionth of an inch, are manufactured by the Ford Motor Co. Dr. Carl E. Johansson produced the first set of these blocks in Eskilstuna, Sweden, in 1896, where he now lives. He is 76 years old. The Johansson Gage Blocks that are in use in America were made under his supervision in the Engi- neering Laboratory of the Ford Motor Co., Dearborn.

The ladies were garbed in hooped skirts, button shoes, and lace bonnets, while the men fancied sideburns, handlebar mustaches, swallow tailed coats, waist coats, st iff shirts, high boots, and hea ry gold watches and watch chains. The Craftsmen were leading by one point in the last frame until the Port Huron five shattered the blue and gold defense, scoring the winning points in the final min- utes of play. The Craftsmen Reserves continued their winning stretch to the tenth game of the season as the Port Huron five gave way to an 11 point rally in the last stanza. The games were broadcast over the Blue Water Network. F. E. Searle to Speak in Chicago (Continued from page I) Trade School. He was so im- pressed with the school that he sent, a week after his visit, a letter which was published in The Craftsman, Vol. 4, No. 11. The letter was addressed to Same Student in Henry Ford Trade School. A few weeks later the letter was reprinted in a school paper of one of the large high schools of metropolitan Detroit. The bookstore is printing a thousand copies of Mr. Searle'8 speech which will be for distri- bution at the convention.

The Wildcats were trounced 55. 41, by the stalwart Crafts � lads who opened fire and ran up the highest score in the histon of Trade School basketball, under the coaching of V. F. Richarda. Fast footwork and smooth passing combinations by the Irish lads slowed up the big guns of the Ross, ville game as the Craftsmen r e - ceived their closest encounter of the season, the final score being 21-20. The Craftsmen second stringers were also victorious twice and suffered their second defeat of the season at the hands of the Birming- ham five;the final score was 34-16.

Dr. Vale Addresses Graduates (Continued from pago I) Dr. Vale stressed that it is necessary to be on the square” with everybody at all times, or one will pay for it. In illustrating the necessity of mastering whatever one undertakes, Dr. Vale told of a doctor having the life of some small helpless child depending upon his knowledge of It3 illness. During his course of study the doctor had failed to obtain a thorough knowledge of this kind of illness. . The child died as a result. This could have been avoided, said Dr. Vale, had the doctor mastered his profession.

Students Know your money, was the warn- ing given by R. G. Pfeffer, of the United States Secret Service, to the students of the Trade School in the auditorium, Feb. 14.

Strive to overcome bad traits in your character. H o w- ever hard to realize, the fact re- mains that we ourselves are our own biggest stumbling block. There- fore, to have a good name we mu9t first master ourselves. Contentment and honor ccme to the individual who is honorable in the eyes of his fellow men. Mor- tals live but a few days; a good name lives forever. THE CRAFTSMAN HUMAN ENGINEERING by J. F. Wright, D. C. S. WHAT PRICE MUST ONE PAY FOR A GOOD NAME? The good names mentioned most in history are the names of those who have rendered the greatest service to humanity, and in every case it was a Joyous service, not a weary task. Therefore, to be happy while living and leave a name that will live in history long after you are dead, get busy in serving humanity. I like the way W. J. Cameron, speaker on the Ford Sunday Eve- ning Hour radio program, de- scribed Thomas Edison's standing when he said, ''With it all he left an unstained name --a name still vital with courage and vib- rant with inspiration There is a price tag on every- thing. Before doing anything, be sure the price is not too high. Letter Received From Alumnus I have received the issues of The Craftsman you sent. I can't begin to say how much I appreci- ate them. It certainly is swell to read about the boys I went to school with. I have done a little radio work lately, but up to now I haven't made any definite plans. I’m keeping on with my studies. It's not the same voice I left the Trade School with. I've learned three operas and a number of good songs since I’ve been here. Thanks again for the papers. Vaughan Heard Editor's Note: Vaughan is now in Los Angeles, California, studying voice. He left the Trade School last Sept. 17. What is Your Rating Any automobile driver may miss a stop street sign occasional 1 y, and though there is no intention of recklessness, the error may be accompanied by a fatal accident. Carelessness is the cause of practically all accidents. Peopl sometimes relax from their usual cautiousness and turn to carefree driving. This is reflected in the traffic accident rate. The percentage of accidents has decreased within the last few years, but with the improvements on highways and in automobiles year by year, the accident rate should drop a great deal more. Avoid carelessness and you will be doing your share toward lower- ing the accident rate to a minimum _______FRIDAY, FEB. 23f 19« 3� jssggeiJ Machine Construction 'Hand Delights in 'Making Thing A serious nature and a deep h- terest in making things are ths outstanding traits of Gordon Tits- worth, senior, ns working in the m. chine constructis department.

Mickey Rooney “pulls a proof’ of the Herald, Greenfield Village newspaper named after the one Thomas Edison published. — Pictures by Ford Motor Co. photographers. He said he had no idea that he was so well known outside of Hollywood. Since Mickey burst into stardom rather suddenly, few people know of his early life. He was born Joe Yule, Jr. in Brooklyn, New York, to parents working as a comedy team named Yule and Carter. At four months The burning, drifting sands of the Egyptian desert, trouble and dissent ion among his workers, and opposition and discouragement at heme were among the obstacles fac- ing Ferdinand de Lesseps, French engineer, while engaged in the gi- gantic task of building the Suez Canal, one of the world's most •mportant man-made waterways. A huge undertaking of this na- ture required a tremendous amount of money. It was many years be- fore anyone had enough confidence in de Lesseps and his plans to ad- vance sufficient capital. At last he obtained enough money from France and Egypt to enable hha to start. In 1859 work began for the ten succeeding years the struggle with the shifting desert sand was carried on. Same- Talks on Counterfeiting Given (Contlnuea fran pago I) $200,000 in 1939. Mr. Pfeffer stated that the max- imum penalty for passing or posess- ing a counterfeit bill with in- tent to defraud is 15 years in a Federal Prison and a fine of $5,000. Following the talk a movie was shown displaying the numerous ways to detect a counterfeit bill and how to aid peace officers in appre- hending these criminals. The Trade School print shop is printing pamphlets concerning counterfeiting like those passed out by Mr. Pfeffer during his pro- gram in the auditorium. These pamphlets will be distributed to employees of the Ford Motor Co. of age he had crossed the nation with his parents who were on a vaudeville tour. His first stage appearance was made at the age of two when he crawled out and began tc sneeze, interrupting his parents' act. The attempts to produce music with the harp his father gave him to keep him busy were so hilarious that he stole the show. Later he was made a part of the act. When twelve, he got the part playing Mickey McGuire in the films. After appearing in 78 com- edies, Fontaine Fox, the cartoon- ist, stopped their production. After this Joe and his mother turned, unsuccessfully, to vaude- ville. While on tour, Joe changed his name to Mickey Rooney, still leaving it known that he was the original Mickey McGuire. Mickey flipped a coin with his mother to see if they should go to Hollywood or stick to their tour. times the work was almost aban- doned for the soft yielding sand made excavating extremely diffi- cult. However, de Lesseps perseverance wae at last rewarded with success. In 1869 the canal was opened and 68 vessels of many nationalities sailed slowly through the new waterway. The length of the canal, includ- ing the approach channels, is 103 miles. The canal is used by more than 5000 vessels annually. By the International Convention of 1888, it was agreed that the canal should be kept open at all times to ships of all nations. Even in wartime, belligerent ships are allowed to use the canal with- out any flag distinction whatso- ever . Watch Manners Carefully the First Time You Visit a Home When calling at a heme for the first time, a boy should be espe- cially careful of his manners. This may prevent embarrassment and help create a favorable impression, • Remain standing until all la- dies in the roam are seated. Take a seat and Join in the conversa- tion. Neither do all the talking nor all the listening. • Don't smoke unless others in the room are doing so. Be care- ful to keep ashes off the floor. • When saying good-by, express pleasure at having met everyone. Don't remain unreasonably late and wear your welcome out. If one shows evidence of good training when visiting, he will probably be asked to return. Mickey won, so to Hollywood they went. At first Mickey's attempts to get a Job were fruitless.

Alternating current is easier to handle and is more efficient. Ford Motor Co. electricians, not wanting to be caught off guard, are installing the lights now so the Trade School will not have to go without lights. When the power crews turn on the alternating cur- rent, the new lights will work Just the same as they do on the present direct current. The old reflectors off the mer- cury vapor lamps are to be con- verted so they may be used on the alternating current fluorescent type lamp which eventually will probably be used throughout the building for more efficiency. The spectrum consists of violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. These colors, properly blended, make up ordinary white light. The old lights gave off only the violet end of the spectrum.

The midget racers sometimes attain a speed of about 45 miles an hour. Surviving the semi-finals, Ken- eht was still in the running when the field had been narrowed down to three contestants. After the last heat was run, he was the proud winner of the second prize. This was a 1937 automobile, a wrist watch, a silver cup, and a medal. Each finalist wore a special metal crash helmet lined with spun rubber which he was allowed to keep. Throughout his stay in Akron, Kenneth enjoyed movies, sight-see- ing tours, a banquet, and other forms of entertainment in the com- pany of Derby winners from all over the country. He also met sev- eral famous race drivers. Kenneth worked in his spare time for about five months to complete his sleek red speedster Wally, which he keeps in the basement of his home.

To better instruct the student! of the G- and F-classes in arit . matic, the Trade School is pur. chasing nine more computing chines similar to those that w� r used in R. D. Weaver's arithmetic class last semester. The Trade School is the onlj school in metropolitan Detroit which uses calculating machines It a non-business arithmetic course. The machines arouse such inter- est that Mr. Weaver is often fount teaching A- and B-class students how to operate the machines is solving their trigonometry prob. lems. These machines are capable of adding, subtracting, multiply, ing, dividing, or extracting square root. There is now one machine tc every six boys in a class, k effort is being made to furnish enough machines so that there will be only two boys working on each machine during the class period. The machines are used in the classes of John Dobrei, A. B. Gorman, R. D. Weaver, and B. A. Kazyak.

One of the favorite methods tc catch fish when they're not biting so well is to catch a nice, Juicy worm and glue him to a mirror. When the glue has set, the mir- ror is submerged a few feet in the water. Immediately a fish rushes for the worm. When he sees his reflection in the mirror rustic back at him, he Jumps out of the water to avoid a collision.

I didn't mind being away from my work, said Mr. Lawson, but there was one thing that I missed and that was The Craftsman, which I like to read. Mr. Lawson started in the Trade School in 1927, two weeks after it was opened in the Rouge Plant. Many Specials Planned For Singing Programs Singing class programs for this semester have been arranged by Fred Nicholson, drawing instruc- tor. Specials on the program will be two concerts by the Trade School Band, The Ford Dutch Band (formerly known as the Little Gor- man Band), and possibly the Ford Ranch Boys and the Dixie Eight. Mr. Nicholson has been asked by many students, Why don't we have popular songs sung in the singing class? To this question he gives two reasons: first, the singing class is for music appreciation and not for entertainment; second, the school cannot reproduce a pop- ular song without paying a royalty. However, Mr. Nicholson states that he is glad to have boys sing popular songs or entertain in same fashion during the Thursday morning programs and requests that they see him beforehand to make arrangements. Trade School Dentist Gives Annual Lectures A lecture recently given by Dr. R. G. Chambers, Trade School den- tist, pointed out to students many vital facts on Dental Hy- giene and the Care of Teeth. The lecture was illustrated by plaster casts, samples, and speci- mens of various dental materials. The purpose of this lecture was to help boys realize the value of their teeth and the necessity of protecting them. Blackboard drawings of tooth sec- tions and changing conditions per- taining to the health of the teeth were also pointed out. All students who can play band instruments and are interested in playing in the band are re- quested to contact I.J.Petovello, bandmaster, in the bookstore.

However, if the blue and gold lads keep their guns well oiled and in trim there'll be plenty of action on the Fordson Front March 7, 8, and 9. • A certain faculty member was seen making a strong. bid for a berth on the varsity basketball squad last Tuesday night. He sank a looping shot from the side line. Nice shot Mr. Stoelting. • Have you heard the latest in the bowling world? John Blum, Instructors League, scorched the Argyle alleys last Saturday with a series of 694. That is exactly 142 pins over his average. Jo-Jo White Visits School (Continued fran pago I) Upon being asked what he would call for with Hank Greenberg at bat and the count three and two, he said, I would do as any other catcher, call for a base on balls. Jo-Jo White, the gentleman from Georgia, suggested that boys learn every position on the field. If there were ten positions, he drawled, I'd have played all of them. When asked questions con- cerning the Tigers, Jo-Jo said, Better ask ol' Bing, I'm not a Tigah Man' any more.

Journalists When writing, have a definite goal in view; put up a target and see how close you can came with your supply of verbal ammunition,” said H. C. L. Jackson, of The De- troit News, to The Craftsman staff on their visit to the various de- partments of The Detroit News and WJ-Studios, last Saturday. Mr. Jackson, author of the col- umi, Listening in on Detroit, which appears daily, except Sunday in The Detroit News, spoke to the hoys on the writing of feature stories and the usage of words. In writing a feature story or a letter, said Mr. Jackson, think before you write, visualize your thoughts, and write as though your reader were before you. To make the average reader interested in your writing, he continued, you must grab your reader with a strik- ing phrase in the first sentence, hold his interest with the second sentence, promise something in the third, and kid him along to keep hi8 interest throughout your writ- ing, he concluded. T. S. Bird House Builders to Enter New’s Contest Approximately 15 Trade School students have started work on their bird houses which will be entered in the Seventh Annual Bird House Contest sponsored by The De- troit News, to be held at Conven- tion Hall, March 23 to 31. Haig Vartanian, W-C-2, was the firBt to complete cm entry. He aodeled his bluebird house after a White Tower Hamburger stand. Haig is now building an eight-com- partment, purple martin house for G. A. Yerex, personnel director. This house will also be entered in the contest. Other houses that are being built are single and double com- partment wren houses. Students interested in entering the contest are requested to see H. B. Dale, Room 3. Alumni Meeting to Be Held To better acquaint themselves with the new members from the 1940 January graduating class and to plan their spring activities, the Alumni Club will hold a special fleeting at the Ford Rotunda, 1 p.m., Saturday, March 9. All alumni are requested to attend. Instructor Speaks at Luncheon Fred Nicholson, drawing instruc- tor, was guest speaker at the monthly luncheon of the Rotary Club in the Mayflower Hotel, Ply- mouth, Mich., last Friday. His topic was The Trade School and How it Functions. This is the third time Mr. Nicholson has ad- dressed Rotary Clubs. Apprentice School Chorus Holds Second Rehearsal Seventy-four members of the Ford Apprentice School Chorus, under the direction of William F. Muell- er, Apprentice School mathematics instructor, were present at the second rehearsal held in the Lit- tle Theatre of the Ford Rotunda last Saturday morning. The Chorus, composed of instruc- tors and students of the Appren- tice School, was organized two weeks ago when 77 members reported for rehearsal. 'The enthusiasm of the choris- ters, said Mr. Mueller, is re- markable and is shown by their willingness to cooperate and by their attendance. All Apprentice School students who are interested in Joining the Chorus are requested to see Mr. Mueller. The Chorus plans to have a con- cert in June. Rehearsals will continue at the Ford Rotunda every Saturday, 10 a.m Senior Returns to School After 5 Months in West Vaughan Heard, senior, after having spent five months in Los Angeles, Calif., among the musical celebrities of the opera world, re- turned to the Trade School last Monday to continue his training in the tin shop. For the past five months Vaughan has taken two lessons a day, study- ing opera and interpretation under the direction of Thaddeus Wronski, former director of the Ford Chorus. During his stay in Los Angeles Vaughan sang over radio station KFAC. To study the voices of other singers he attended many operas. One of my most thrilling experi- ences, said Vaughan, was spend- ing a week with Sigmuin Stowjoski, one of the world's greatest piano teachers. Vaughan plans to take up opera singing as soon as his voice has fully matured. Group to Conduct Lenten Services For the third consecutive year. Lenten Services for students, in- structors, and visitors will be held by the Morning Service group in the Trade School cafeteria at 2:50 p.m., on Good Friday, March 22. E. D.

Shop Superintendent Recalls Anniversary of Rouge T. S. It was ten minutes to nine. A reporter on his beat inquired of E. Y. Peterson, shop superin- tendent, Is there any news today? Mr. Peterson looked at the cal- endar then to his watch and began, At about this time, Feb. 28, a Monday morning, 13 years ago I started in the Trade School. It was also the first day of the school at the Rouge Plant. Seven bays, or 140 by 100 feet, comprised the school shop at that time, he went on. 'The entire school was on the fourth floor, from Crib 33 to the south wall, bound on the west by the craneway. The cafeteria was in the space now used by the print shop, book- store, Roans 3, 6, 11, 12, and 13. The classrooms were along the outside wall of the school, from the elevator to Room 1. West of the craneway was the Apprentice School. A little more than half an acre was the entire floor space of the school at that time. Enrollment was approximately 53 students and six instructors which increased to 1200 students by August, 1930.

These checks cost the losers 25 cents apiece to replace. Though this num- ber is less than it was last year, too many checks were lost through If a student is where and how he places his checks, he will have no trouble in returning all of them to the crib after graduation. Checks don't walk away, they are lost through misplacement. Be careful with your checks and spend the difference. carelessness, careful about Hasten Not The old adage haste makes waste can well be applied to the task of succeeding. A doctor may learn all that his college professors can teach him, yet he won't be success- ful until he has had the actual ex- perience of help- ing to cure sick people. This example shows clearly that if success is desired In any field it must be had through steady, diligent work, not through momen- tary spurts. Make the most of every opportunity. Remember, to climb the ladder of success, start at the bottom and work your way up, carefully. Acme of Satori cal Sblender is Drafting Room Senior In the art8 of neatness and of wearing clothing well, few surpass Anthony Faber, drafting room sen- ior. The snappy clothing, says he, keeps me al- ways alert. When- ever my head be- gins to nod, I see my clothing. Af- ter this happens, | I stay wide awake. Though he hasn't had much opportu- nity to do so, Tony is enthusias- tic about travel- ing. He plans to tour the United States someday to make new acquaintances and to see new scenery. As a rule, Tony does little talk- ing. This trait has been with him since childhood. Once Tony was apprehended by his uncle while smoking corn silks behind the barn. Have you been smoking? asked the uncle. No, answered Tony, ducking the homemade weed behind him. Then what made that smoke that is curling over your head? Tony'8 guilt was confessed by his beet-red face. His tongue, however, refused to waggle. Anthonv What is Your Rating Automobile headlights are built so that the brilliancy and direc- tion of the beam can be changed. To aid in safety, as is the pur- pose of the lighting system, lights must be in perfect working order at all times. Bulbs should be immediately replaced when they burn out. In new Ford cars, the complete headlight unit is changedo To prevent accidents, lights must be used properly. Dim lights should be used for parking. Lower beam lights are used for city driving, v hile the upper beams are used for open highway motoring. Set an example of courtesy when driving, and other drivers will soon follow suit.

MARCH 8, 1940______________ Students Hear Talk on 'Jobs in Industry’ at News Form the habit of looking on the bright side of your Job and the world is yours, Robert L. goward, supervisor of personnel search for the Fisher Body Cor- poration, told the Green Lights audience last Feb. 22, in the Au- ditorium Studio of WWJ-The Detroit Jews. Thirty Trade School boys attended the program. A great majority of the young people are astonished by the de- fects they see in industry where they are employed. Consequently they become listless, pay less at- tention to their work, and are soon lost as efficient employees, he continued. A lot is heard about diminished opportunities, said Mr. Howard, but in an industry like manufac- turing which is constantly chang- ing (with newer models coming out each year), there is an increasing demand for trained young people. The speaker pointed out that few nen and women earn real money un- til they are at least 35 years old, and that some young people be- come so soured” on the world from seeking hopelessly for better Jobs that they are practically unemploy- able when they have reached the age where they should be valuable. Student’s Model-A Ford Runs on Oil, Like Diesel-Well Almost After studying oil engines used for power supply and water works, Michael Lusko, senior, developed a device whereby he could run his automobile on kerosine, tar oil, or drain oil in place of gasoline. The contraption, as the designer calls it, took five weeks to build and cost about $5 for the materi- als used. It gave the same engine parformance as it did when gaso- line was used, with mileage rang- ing between 18 and 25 miles to a gallon of oil costing five cents. The car maintained the same power and speed. When starting, the engine was first run on gasoline, then the oil was switched on ten minutes later after the motor had heated UP. An extra oil tank was mounted on the auto and a shut-off valve a8 located near the driver's seat Tor the purpose of changing from gas to oil. Michael ran his 1929 Ford for two years with this system but 8 forced to return to the gaso- line due to the oil fumes which came up through the floor boards when the car was idling School’s History Told (Continued frc® page X) the Rouge Plant and Joined with the school that was here, causing the present floor space of three and one-half acres to be needed. Enrollment reached a peak of 2800 students, Mr. Peterson statisti- cized. To determine the nature of busi- ness of his day, the superinten- dent was observed for an hour. The first halt in his brisk, arm swinging walk, was at the Appren- tice School Office, where J. H. Wolfe, director, chatted with him. After picking up a large grey en- velope, the walk continued. At the heat treatment department, George Maconochie, department head, was questioned by Mr. Peterson. Following this they both proceeded to point to and discuss a blue print. There, midst glowing red furnaces, gages, indicators, siz- zling oil drums,and the hiss of an Thank You — I wish to express my apprecia- tion to the Ford Apprentice School instructors for the gift they gave me and the expression of best wishes they extended to me before I left the Ford Schools to take over my new Job.

Mr. Peterson continued on his way until he stopped to inspect one of the new machines. After reaching his desk, he examined the records of six boys who were to be placed in Ford Motor Co. This work done, he went to the auditorium and talked to the six boys on the theme Train Yourself to be Observing. Well this is the day you have been waiting for, eh, boys? he said with a look of devilment in his eye. You're going to department K; think you'll like it out there? he quizzed. Swell, the boy answered. Better than the Trade School? was the snappy reJoiner, given with a mischievous smile. After Mr. Peterson had questioned the boys on shop practices he wished them all good luck. Two Trade School Students Become Instructors in Shop Added to the ranks of instruc- tors on Tuesday, March 5, were two Trade School seniors, Charles Droste and Charles Miller. Mr. Droste has been added to the staff in the Trade School clearing house. He has been engaged in this type of work for more than one year. Mr. Miller, who has completed approximately three years of tin shop work will serve as instructor in this department Both boys were graduated in 1938, Miller in January and Droste in J une. ____________ Two T. S. Instructors Begin Lecturing on Human Engineering To help J. F. Wright in teaching Human Engineering, M. B. Numbers, English instructor, and G. W. Arm- strong, mathematics instructor, have volunteered to lecture to students who are taking the course. All students, except those who are in the A-classes, hear a half- hour lecture on Monday of their school week. After the talk, they go to their rooms and discuss the lesson. The students may ask Mr. Wright, originator of the course, person- al questions which are answered by appointment in the library. Dogs Have Been Loyal to Man During the Last 40 Centuries Dogs have been man's best friend for th© last 4000 years. Man-made records mentioning dogs as far back as 2000 B. C. have been found in old excavated ruins. Many theories have been brought about as to the origin of dogs, but most present day competent Judges consider the European wolf as the Important ancestral parent- age. The closest resemblance to this wolf is possessed by the police dog. A remarkable example of this breed is the late Rin Tin Tin whose talents made even the worst animal haters sit up and take notice. Today there are about 100 breeds of dogs, 80 of which are recog- nized by the American Kennel As- sociation. However, there are only eight essentially different groups of dogs. A good dog is loyal and friendly. You can slap your best friend but once and he will never speak to you again. Slap your dog a hun- dred times, yet next time he Is called he will come back as though nothing had happened.

Good Friday Some 1900 years ago today Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, was cruci- fied on Calvary. After being betrayed by Judas Iscariot to the Roman Soldiers for 30 pieces of silver, Jesus was bound, beaten,and sentenced to die on the cross for claiming to be the Son of God. With a crown of sharp thorns over his brow and with a heavy croBS on hi8 shoulder, the blood- covered Son of Man was led to Cal- vary (skull place) to be crucified, Beaching Calvary Jesus was nailed to the cross, and above his head was placed the inscription This is Jesus of Nazareth, The King of the Jews. After six hours of suffering on the cross with only vinegar to quench his thirst, he died. After remaining in the tomb for three days following his crucific- ti ons, Christ rose on the morning of the third day, which is now known as Easter Sunday.

Oregon 4600 Line 4163 Vol. V, Mo. 13 Friday, March 22, 1940 Youth Must Serve-Self Recently a Florida farm-boy wrote an 800-word letter to Henry Ford asking for advice on choosing a vocation. He said, I would be a happy boy to receive your advice for the dollar enclosed. The letter was forwarded to the Trade School. The dollar was re- turned with the reply. Every young man,at some time, is faced with the problem of choosing his life'8 work. This problem must be carefully considered. The first step is to decide for what particular Job one is best fitted, physically and mentally. Usually he must make this decision for himself. After deciding this matter he must proceed doggedly. There is a belief today that young people are too dependent. They ask advice on problems they should solve for themselves. Perhaps it would have been much easier for Henry Ford to have be- come a farmer-this was the request of his father. But with determin- ation and confidence he succeeded in a field in which little advice could be given. One Year Ago The new piston gaging machine, built by Trade School students, was sent to the Ford Building at the New York World's Fair. Two Years Ago Winners of the M- and T-section amateur contests were announced. They were Harry Hogg and Roxsy Rossi, respectively. Three Years Ago The Craftsman staff took its first annual trip to The Detroit News to study methods used in com- mercial papers. What is Your Rating Broken and lacerated bodies, man- gled beyond recognition. This is often the result of trying to beat a train to a crossing. Railroad crossing signals are e- rected for your safety. If you love life, don't ignore them. Flashing signals are usually kept in perfect working order, but it is possible that something could go wrong with them. There- fore, it is wise to drive slowly enough when nearing a crossing to obtain a clear view in both direc- tions before proceeding. When waiting for a train to pass always be sure before going ahead that there isn’t another train ap- proaching on another track. It is better to lose seconds than it is to lose a life. The planet Neptune has 72 times the volume o f the earth. It swings in an orbit 17 billion miles long and has a year equal to 165 of ours. Though elephants are generally believed to live at least 150 years, rarely do they exceed 75 years of age. FRIDAY. MABCH 22. ]o Craftsmen Reserve Player Cops Top Scoring Honon Hurrah! Yea!

Wright, D.Cl HOW HABITS ARE FORMED Habits are formed Just like pic- tures are taken. Every human be- ing is a walking camera. The difference between the bunas camera and the photographer's cam- era is that the photographer's camera has but one shutter. The photographer is careful not to open the shutter until he is sure of his picture. He knows that the sensitized plate will instantly take an impression of everyth within range when he opens the shutter. The human camera has several shutters. Everything we see, hear- smell, touch, or taste makes £ impression on our sensitized plaW (subconscious mind). To lead an intelligent, we-1- balanced life, one must know he to regulate and control the shut- ters of the human camera. FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1940 TEE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Time Estimates Prepare Students One of the most important requi- sites in modern industry is the ability to turn out good work rap- idly. So that students may become proficient in this respect, the jobs which are done in the Trade School shop are furnished with a time estimate. This estimate is Ernest Lockwood, Trade School cstimatcr, at work in the transfer crib. He estimates that in his ii years of estimating he has estimated more than 130,000 jobs. part of the school's educational program to prepare its students for the future. In estimating a Job the process through which the work must pass to completion is visualized. The time required to do each operation is then estimated. This estimate represents the approximate time an average mechanic would take to do the work. When the estimator receives the blue prints and orders for the work that is needed, he routes the Job through the various depart- ments necessary to complete it. Many times Jobs are received which have to pass through most of the departments in the Trade School. The routing of the job and the time allotted for each operation is written in the margin of the order before it has been dupli- cated. Space Filler Teacher (finishing long algebra problem): And so we find that X equal8 zero. Student: Gosh! all that work for nothing.

He put down the knife he had been sharpening and confided, After that, my fiancee's sisters tried to hook me, but my first choice won out 1. Until he had reached his 18th year Louie was clamped down on by his father as to his after- dark activities. When Jackie, as he was then called, wished to attend a party he would ask his father, and if he received no reply the answer was No. On one occasion Jackie,” after receiving no reply to enumerable pleas for permission to attend a social, left without consent. His father followed. Jackie preferred to remain standing while eating his meals for sane time following the incident. Since 1926 he has not once came to the Trade School late, and has never missed a day's work. A serious look replaced the smile, I'm proud of my record here--it means a lot, he added. Will your attendance and thrift fund record make it pos- sible for you to take a vacation with scholarship in one of the following periods?

In the early days of the tele- phone, many and varied were the objections Chat seemed to keep it from ever being anything but an expensive toy. However, were Al- exander Graham Bell or one of his contemporaries to return today and visit a modern city, doubtlessly nothing would impress him more than the changes and improvements which have been added to his orig- inal invention. In 1877 there were 2600 tele- phones in the United States. To- day there are more than twenty million telephones in use. An av- erage of sixty million calls are made daily. With the aid of the photo-elec- tric cell, the telephone may be used to send pictures over wires. This modern miracle is Indeed a far cry from the beacon fire which (Continued on page 4) Demand is Great for Man Who Can Dance - by Gosh The melodies of a dance orches- tra make up much of a young man's social life. The ability to dance well i s a splendid insurance against exclusion fran party plans. • One is expected to dance the first and last dances and the ones before and after intermission with the girl he escorts. • After dancing with a girl, one should not leave her standing in the middle of the dance floor. He should take her back to her escort or find a chair for her. The man should then thank the girl for the dance and ask to be excused. • When a man is introduced to a girl who has no escort, he is ex- pected to ask he'- for a dance. • A man who comes to the dance alone and has no responsibility for any particular girl should dance with as many different girls as possible. TaLLTALeS Man, my car flies like light- ning. Aw, that tin-can turtle can't pass a snail walking backwards. Thus E. K. Workman, precision tool Instructor, and John Oesdean, student, fussed about the respec- tive merits of their cars. After trying to prove verbally that one Junk heap was better than the other rattle trap, the quibbling finally settled on which car had the fastest pickup. My car makes all the rest look as though they're standing still, boasted John. Listen boy, said Mr. Workman, my car is so fast that I have to be careful when I give it the gas after stopping for a red light. If I accelerate too fast I leave the paint Job standing In mid-air. By the time the paint hits the ground I'm a block away. How often do you get a repaint- ing, quizzed John. 'Usually about four or five times a month, came the reply. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1940 Pathfinder’s President Addresses T- Students Our life ie very short so we must spend our time improving our- selves, ” said Harold Thompson, president of the Pathfinders of America, in a talk to the T-sec- tion hoys during the Human Engi- neering session in the auditorium last Monday. We should attach ourselves to some person with brains. When we have learned everything he knows, find some one else. This may sound sacrilegious but not if we test it by thinking it out, rea- soning it out, and making a final choice. It is our life and we must do our best to take care of it; no one else will, he added. The next subject he Jumped to was Wise-Guys. Don’t be a wise guy,” he said, there is no one more nauseating. He doesn't climb the ladder of success, and what is worse, he prevents others from climbing it. Here he inserted the proverb, Keep your mouth shut and let peo- ple think you are a fool rather them open it and convince them you are. __________ jTiUbits Instructors E.H.

Student to Enter Bird House in The Detroit Sews Contest Out of the 15 or more Trade School students who started work on bird houses, only Haig Vartan- ian, W-C-2, was able to complete an entry in time for the Seventh Annual Bird House Contest to be held at Convention Hall during the last week in March. Haig made two bird houses. The second is bigger and more compli- cated than the first. The big one Haig Vartanian, W-C-i. touches up the bird- house he built for entrance in a contest spon- sored by The Detroit News. is three feet long and 16 inches wide. It provides for eight bedrooms and is equipped with two chimneys. The roof is built with home-made shingles, the sides with stained white pine.

The purchase was arranged by William H. Seward, then Secretary of State. He was regarded as a foolish man for making the trans- action. Alaska belonged to Russia for 80 years, during which time fur was the only yield of this northiand country. Now, however, it has been found to be rich in gold, copper, and other minerals. It is valuable for its fishing indus- tries. Though the United State's pur- chase price of Alaska was only $7,2G0,000, the estimated output of the fisheries and mines alone Telephone Had Many Faults (Continued from page 3) was the first means of rapid ccb- munication known to our ancestors. Their beacons had the disadvan- tage that they could only report that an anticipated event had hap- pened or that a prearranged time had come, for a fire indicates nothing unless a message of expla- nation is previously sent. Before the dis- covery of elec- tricity, many more or less satisfac- tory methods of rapid communica- tion were used. These included signalling by flags, heliograph, and, in the case of the African and South American races, a code of different drum sounds. The discovery of electricity paved the way for all modern means of rapid communication. Although several scientists saw this and devised methods of elec- trical telegraphy, the name of Sam- uel F. B. Morse stands out as being the first to devise the real- ly satisfactory code system which still bears his name. Looney Lexicography British Intelligence - English in- structor.

Among the many snow capped moun- tains is Mt. McKinley (20,300 feet high), the loftiest peak in North America. Alaska has a wealth of wild life, scenery, glaciers, and wild flowers. About 10,000 tour- ists visit there each year. In addition to the permanent residents of Alaska, about 25,000 men migrate annually to find em- ployment in the fisheries and mines. The Federal Bureau of Education has provided several hospitals and schools to encourage more sanitary methods of living, and to teach the natives to speak, read, and write the English language.

Students to Receive Journalism Award For outstanding achievement on the school paper, four members of the January, 1940 graduating class will soon receive Quill and Scroll honors. Following are the names of the boys and the approximate number of inches they contributed. Howard Kevelighan, editor, 150 to 160; Donald Long, asst, editor, 120 to 130; John Shingleton, reporter, 110 to 120; and David Littler, re- porter, 90 to 100. In the last four years Quill and Scroll honors have been bestowed on 19 Trade School students. These merit awards are based on willing- ness and faithfullness while writ- ing for school publications. The Quill and Scroll Society wa3 formed in 1926 to award indi- vidual achievement and to encour- age initiative in work in high school Journalism, creative writ- ing, and allied fields. Benefit Dance Held A benefit dance sponsored by the Bulldog Club of Brightmoor was given last Saturday evening, in the Irving Ballroom, Brightmoor, to raise a fund which was donated to William Leach, Trade School graduate, January, '37, who was seriously injured in an automobile accident recently. Twenty - five dollars worth of tickets was sold to Trade School students. PAGE SIX THE CRAFTSMAN Orioles, Champs - and Bengals, Runners-Up Rack row Orioles : Clifford Falconer.

Jack Moffat, of Team No. 7, Alumni Bowling League, captured second place in the individual high single when he scrambled the pins for a 253 game. He also col- lected a 224 game to give him a 637 series. An Alumni bowling team defeated the Student bowling champs in a match game at the Dearborn Recrea- tion last Saturday, 2252 to 2153. H. Haley paced the winners with a 531 count. Charles Visconti, Instructors League, Team No. 14, found the 1-3 pocket with persistence last Tues- day, and the result was a 262 game Team No. 6, Senior League, cap- tained by John Groves, scorched the Riviera Recreation Hall last Saturday, as they moved into first place in both team high single and team high three. The high single was 860, the high three, 2425. All bowlers who are interested in bowling in a summer league see Karl Horvath in the bookstore. Both the Bengals and Orioles defeated the Trojans, W-section champs, to remain as the only two contenders for the Junior champion- ship. Being well matched, these two teams exhibited seme flashy basketball playing in all three games, the first being taken by the Orioles with a close 19-17 score. The Bengals, however, snatched the second game by brilliantly defending their scant lead to fin- ish on top with a 21-20 count. The final encounter, however, proved disastrous for the Bengals as they gave way to the fast mov- ing Orioles and were nosed out by one point. Staging a desperate offensive attack,the Bengals, led by Noray Sarkisian, held the Orioles score- less in the last stanza while they scored one field goal for them- selves in their final attempt to take the lead.

Of the m. lous mines the magnetic la most feared becaus of the briny depths without warning to strike. Any ship within a radius of 50 yards may set off one of these mines. The older type of mine floats on the surface, or slight!- under it, and must be struck tyj ship to explode. The magnetic mine, invented h April, 1917 by Ralph Cowan Brans, is eight feet In length, two fee: In diameter, and weighs about 12CC pounds. Due to a weight In tie case, the electro magnetic appara- tus Is always up. This mechanism works on the principle as a wet cell batterj ueing the metal hull of a host a a negative plate, a magnetic nee- dle In the mine as a poeitln plate, and the salt water as the electrolyte. When a ship approaches the lo- cation of the mine, a magnet': field Is formed which causes the needle to rise, closing a circuit. This engages a detonator whirl fires the 650 pounds of T.N.T. con- tained In the case._____ Senior Joins Faculty of Ford Apprentice Schott Frank Dery, senior, was recently employed by the Ford Apprentice School as a photographer and gen- eral assistant In the metallurgy department. He was graduated fret the academic work in the Trade School in June '36. Since graduation, Frank baf worked in the photographic depart- ment of the Administration Build- ing and in the metallurgy depart- ment of the Apprentice School. While attending Trade School a: working In the heat treat depart- ment, he became interested in a2'-’ allurgy. He majored In metallurgy in the Ford Apprentice School. Frank has completed one semes - of evening school at Lawrence in- stitute of Technology, and to return in the fall to compl his course.

APRIL 5, 1940________ Gear Board Shows 32 Kinds of Motion Thirty-two different kinds of notion and 20 different types of gearing are displayed on a board nhich has recently been completed in the Trade School shop. Gear display showing 31 mechanical motions. The board will be used in shop theory classes to explain the ap- plications of the various kinds of mechanical motions. Made of metal, the board is more practical them the wooden one it will replace. To prevent rusting and to aid in appearance, each part is cadmium plated. One motor drives the entire unit. Power is transmitted from one shaft to another through the vari- ous motions. One shot Trabon lubricating sys- tem is used on the board. In the Trabon system all bearings are lu- bricated at the same time with an equal amount of lubricant. The display was redesigned by the Trade School drafting roam, cast in the Jobbing foundry, and machined in the toolroom. Protective Wall Being Built Because of a Michigan State law requiring all high power electri- cal equipment to be surrounded by a fire resistant vault, mainte- nance department workmen are build- ing a brick wall, eight Inches thick, around the sub-station lo- cated adjacent to the third floor nill department. The law requires all oil circuit- breakers and oil switches con- nected to circuits exceeding 5000 ▼olts to be surrounded by a rein- forced concrete vault not less than six inches in thickness or a brick wall eight inches thick. World’s Fair Boys Review Work By reviewing the fundamental questions asked by visitors at the New York World’s Fair in 1939, A. M. Wagener, shop theory instructor, is preparing the first group of the 1940 World's Fair boys for their daily duty at New York. A review is held every Thursday. The first group of boys, con- sisting of Peter Loren, Julius Toth, Donald Keil, George Brown, Alfred Bryant, Alfredo Sartor, An- gelo Darin, Robert Dopke, Keith Saren, and Ben Endsley, will leave on April 24 for New York. 13 Per Cent of Enrollment Attends Evening School Two-hundred thirty Trade School students, or 13 per cent of the en- rollment, attended evening schools in metropolitan Detroit during the 1939-40 winter term, on an average of two nights weekly. T-section ranked first with 64 attending. M-and W-sections were close behind with 59 and 51, re- spectively. Most of the boys began their eve- ning school work in the F-class. A majority attend evening classes to complete the 160 hours credit required for high school graduation. A Trade School gradu- ate receives 100 credits. The re- maining 60 must be made up to re- ceive a high school diploma. To enable them to attend college, to better themselves, or to quali- fy for a better Job in later life, are the reasons given for attend- ing, it was learned through a re- cent survey. College admission is the reason given by the majority. Attending were: Seniors-56 D-class-37 A-clas8-32 E-cla88-32 B-class-24 F-class-12 C-cla88-37 G-class- 0 What is Your Rating Much has been said regarding high speed as a great danger on the highway. Low speed, however, is a little mentioned evil which causes no small number of acci- dents . Those who do not move the same speed as traffic is moving, cause normal drivers to take desperate chances. Traffic moves at a safe speed for the road. If you must drive slower keep to the extreme right so others may safely pass you. If you are unfortunate enough to be caught behind a slow driver, remember, Lose a Second, Save a Life.” First Sight-Seeing Auto Built Recalled by Picture While browsing through some old pictures recently, Ray Steel, Crib 31, chanced upon a photograph of the first sight-seeing car built by the Duryea Motor Company in 1904. It was a strange looking con- traption. recalled Mr Steel. Most of the parts, except the Ray Steel, of Crib 31, sitting at the wheel of a Sight-Seeing car 36 years ago. motor, were made of wood. Preci- sion tools and accurate productive machines weren't available then, so each part was made separately. Seldom were two parts alike when finished. The tires, 42 inches in diameter, resembled buggy wheels. The car was propelled by a two- rear-wheel-drive system which re- ceived its power through a chain from the three cylinder motor lo- cated directly behind the driver's seat. A lever situated at the left of the driver was used for both shift- ing gears and steering. For 1cm speed, the lever was pushed down. For high, it was pulled up, and a side to side motion controlled the steering apparatus. Magnetic Storm Explained World-wide communication syetems were paralyzed, March 24 and 25 by a sun spot, 92,930,000 miles away. Due to the many queries he re- ceived, Eugene McAuliffe, Appren- tice School electrical instructor, explained the cause of this dis- turbance to a group of instructors. The earth has a magnetic field of its own, Mr. McAuliffe, ex- plained. The rain of electrical charges due to the presence of sun spots, which are like volca- noes on the surface of the sun, caused the field to move. This motion of the field induced volt- ages, causing currents to flow in the earth's crust. These storms reach a maximum ev- ery 11 years, but the last high point occurred three years ago. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, APRIL 5, jty Craftsmen to Meet Redford For First Baseball Game The Craftsmen baseball season will begin when the team meets Redford High School Thursday, April 18. Candidates for the team practice each afternoon after school at Miller School. Three of last year's regulars are with the team again this year. They are Alex Farino, Rob Washer, and Bob Washer. Robert Neeson, Va8ile Harpau, John Moons, Stilson Jagusch, and Osborne Findley, each of whom played a few games with the Varsity last year, are trying out for the team this season. In previous encounters with Red- ford the Craftsmen have broken even, winning two and losing two. Last year the Varsity maintained a record of 20 wins against 10 defeats. The schedule is not yet complete, but Coach Vernie Richards has al- ready booked several games. G A t Team No. 5, of the Senior League, regained first place in the team high three column by rolling 2445 last Saturday. A coincidence occurred Tuesday, April 2, when John Blum and Urban Lucas, both anchor men of their respective teams, each rolled 200 in their last game. For the first time in his bowl- ing career, Wilbur Goehmann, of the Instructors League Team No. 10, bowled three consecutive strikes. He performed the feat last Tuesday in his final game. With only one more week to bowl, the competition for top prize money in the Instructors Bowling League has narrowed down to four teams. Next week's session will probably show plenty of action.

Entreaty for Success I must get into Henry Ford Trade School so that I will become a success, was a plea made recent- ly by a young man to the office. The school is proud to learn it is considered to be a place from which people emerge as successful men, although it does not make any such claim. Success is a thriving progress which establishes for an individu- al a firm foothold in society. Real success could be accredited only, to those who have determin- ation to create their own opportu- nities and make the most of them. The heights by great men reached and kept. Were not attained by sudden flight But they while their companions slept Were toiling upward in the night. - Longfellow During the winter term 230 Trade School boys attended evening school. Senior Collects and Plays Harmonicas as His Hobby Late one snowy night in November, 1923, the stork flew to the John- son's home in South Range, Michi- gan with another little Johnson, who was christened Robert Richard. Robert entered the Trade School at 12 where he is now a senior. He works on the alum- ni records in the library. Comedies or ex- citing adventure movies, swimming, skiing, or photog- raphy usually take up his spare time. I don't like to read, replied Bob, I get more knowledge from actual experiences than from read- ing. Robert In 1935, Bob entered The Detroit News Bird House Contest and re- ceived honorable mention. The 135-pound, five feet eight inches blond collects harmonicas and learns to play each one as a hobby. When asked what his favorite dish is he smiled, as his hair fell over his eyes, and replied, Cherry pie. Etiquette Hints When making introductions the ol- der person or the more important person is named first. The woman is named before the nan. A simple How do you do? ac- knowledges an introduction. When taking leave of newly-made ac- quaintances you need only say, Good-by, or if you wish to be more cordial, you may add, I am glad to have met you. Always assist a woman into a car before seating yourself. Always get out of an automobile or off a street car first and then turn to assist the woman you are with. What is Your Rating With the return of spring, bicy- cling becomes more popular. Ap- proximately ten million bicycles will be using the streets and high- ways. This increases the danger of auto-bicycle collisions. Carrying another person on the handle-bar3 and riding two o- more abreast are two dangers which con- front the automobile driver. Drivers and byelists will have to be more conscious of danger. Consideration must be shown for each to avoid Injuries and deaths. ____________FR IDAY. APRIL 19.

FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1940 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE ANNOUNCING THE FORD GOOD DRIVERS LEAGUE FOR BOYS OF HIGH-SCHOOL AGE To all boys in this country who have arrived at driving age: The Ford Good Drivers League is your organization. Its pur- pose is to help make a nation of better drivers. We think one of the best ways to accomplish this is to start with boys who are now forming their driving habits. You are the logical ones to take the lead in this movement. If you will join in an agreement to learn expert driving, couple it with care, courtesy and common sense, and influence others to do the same, you will help save thousands of lives. You have the physical equipment, in eyesight, co-ordination and quickness of response, to become the best drivers on the road. In time you can raise driving standards to a higher level than this country has ever seen. The present bad accident rec- ord among young drivers undoubtedly is due to thoughtlessness and carelessness. We believe your influence and example, as members of the League, can create among all boys a greater sense of the responsibility that goes with driving. Through the Ford Good Drivers League, with your help, we hope to carry out an interesting and useful program which will supplement the fine work being done by all other good-driving movements.

Well, you can’t say I didn’t try to make it. by Roxsy Rossi, T-A-l Recipe for Success If you want to ienow whether you are going to be a success or not; you can easily find out. The test is simple and infallible. Are you able to save money? If not drop out; you will lose; you may think not, but you will lose as sure as fate for the seed of success Is not in you!H These understandable yet indubi- table words written by James J. Hill, founder of the Great North- ern Railroad, appear on every boy's scholarship envelope. It is there that the question is put to you. Can you save? It is there that the decision lies as to whether or not you are going to be a success. The key to financial success Is through the gateway of savings. Let us make our way toward that goal. by John Shingleton, senior Treatise on the English Sparrow Like a proud king and queen watching over their domain, the English sparrow and his mate looked out frcm the top of their castle onto a beautiful sun-shiny morning in early spring. Sharpening his beak and pluming his torso, the head of the family got ready to take up the early du- ties of the day in a bird's life. His first object in view was to see what this day had in store for him. He also had his family to feed, and if that was not taken care of, woe be to him. But of course all good papas of the family follow in the footsteps of their ancestors. Once in a while they get a good scare when sane cat, who thinks he has nine lives, sneaks up on them.

Aneri ca's most popular diversions are dancing, theater-going, and eve- ning sport game8--activitie8 which provide both relaxation and plea- sure. While each of us ought to have his pleasure and relaxation, each of us ought also to have cre- ative interests into which we can pour our surplus energies. Many find an outlet for their creative energies in reading books; others find it in sports activities; and still others find it in the devel- opment of some hobby or craft. Learn new things with a hobby Hobbies can be both worthwhile and stimulating. Through hobbies, many men have prepared themselves for new fields which they wouli not otherwise have discovered. Henry Ford's hobby at Greenfielc Village has attracted nation-wide attention. Other men have cade startling discoveries through spare time interests. A certain man named Nicodemous took the tine one evening to visit Jesus. That one evening his soul was opened to (Continued on page 5) Mystery of Eels Solved After 1,000 Years When Professor Johanners Schmidt, of the University of Copenhagen, discovered that all eels of Europe and America laid their eggs only in the Sargasso Sea, near Bermuda, he solved 2,000 years of mystery and legend surrounding the eel. The eel egg hatches in water 35 per cent salt and at least 1,200 feet deep. The head is small with project- ing teeth but the body is flat- tened like a thin glass leaf. For more than a year the baby eel stays in the depths of the Sar- gasso Sea, losing its forward- pointing teeth and shrinking to a slim yellowish tube two inches long called an elver. It has by this time lost inter- est in che Sargasso Sea and starts to navigate to Europe or America according to the eel's nationality, How they know their nationality, is a great eel mystery. Upon reaching the shore they wriggle over land to some inlami waters where they remain, eating fish, polywogs, and insects. Eels attain such ages as 40 or 60 years. The Silver Eel's body becomes filled with gas bubbles which make it long for the pressure of the ocean depths in which it was born.

The fact that they H to go to work w i th their hands indicates there is some- wrong with our system of training. thing I would like to straighten out first of all. It may be (that it is easy for me, as president of a large corporation, to «youngsters to start in “the humble position of a mechanic.” is nothing “humble” about the position of a mechanic. with all our unemployment, the top-rank skilled mechanic Pap © 2 : is still the most sought-after and independent man .you can An| 1'he place of America today, the American standard of liv ,h depends more on the skill of our mechanics than on any 01 r one class or factor. The genius of America is production; J a large percentage of our productive enterprises are hea «I by men who have come up from the worker’s bench. Why is it, then, that so many of our youngsters today wan{n| start their careers sitting at a desk, with no more manual practical skill than is necessary to operate a telephone? They aren't weak ; on an average they are stronger and health than we were. They aren't lazy; they will run themselves exhaustion on the athletic field. They aren't soft; they will r J their necks bucking a football scrimmage line. Why, then, th ,J dread of manual labor? I The pioneers were men of little education. So were the imi s grants. Consequently there grew up a great reverence for tx fj learning. The man who made his living sitting at a desk, wc j ing a white collar, was looked up to and envied. His life s t easy, clean, “genteel.” He seemed of a higher social class. From this came many good things. It provided the urge universal education in America. It gave every American mo the ambition that her child should have “the highest possi education.” But maybe we have gone a little too far in our reverence book learning; maybe in our concentration on that we have fi gotten other things which are just as important. That is, I knowledge of how to work with our hands, how to create wi practical skill. I ant not belittling education. What I am trying to say is tl a person educated entirely through books is only half educat Th ere is a kind of practical knowledge and good sense wh can ll w int the brain only through the use of the hands. What to do about it? Well I think all our schools should I more emphasis on training in manual skills, give more opp tunity for the youngsters to test the theories they learn in actJ practice, let them compete with one another in building usefiM things. You can tell a boy what a pump is; but if he gets! pipe, and, by means of a cork on a string, draws water up throu J that pipe, he really understands what a pump is. Some colleges are combining the practical with the theoretic i'hey alternate periods of study with periods of working actual jobs. And the best engineering schools are putting more and more shopwork to supplement the formulas. TUI is all to the good. Best of all, if you have youngsters of your own, talk to thei fc I was going to say, “Breach the nobility of labor,” but thi sounds too highfalutin. Kids don’t need much encouragemen They have the natural creative urge anyway. Just give the the hint and the opportunity, and they will be building user Pap; e 5 tnew then what he was trying to tell me. Part of it was that hould never raise my hand against a man who was working c. But, more than that, it was that I could never get any- lerc if the men were pulling against me. No man can get od work out of men against their will. other thing I learned in my early days was never to ask a n to do anything that is unreasonable, or definitely beyond abilities. s right to ask men for the best they are capable of. To ask Umore than that is not only useless; it is more unfair than to them outright. 'earned, too, that every rule you make for your men must re in it a couple of little loopholes for human nature; that is no use trying to stand on your dignity; and that you 11 tst never make a decision without knowing all the facts. c hen I came to America I was too busy mastering the language e I getting established to take much interest in political affairs. it if I were a youngster today X would take some part in poli- 5, in my spare time. :on’t think it is good for a young man to go into politics full- le. Even if he plans a political career he ought first to go 1 and get a rounded experience of men and problems in the rkaday world. Lacking such practical knowledge, he may 1 come a theorist or a demagogue. ' obably because X am a mechanic, and proud of it, I have put good deal of stress on mechanical training. Of course, I don’t an that everybody should go into mechanical work. We need . od men in every business and profession. Tiat I am hitting at is the false tradition of gentility which tvents many a gifted youngster from following his natural lot I want to tear down the idea that one honest job is more p florable than another. XXonorable work is any honest work ot you do well. may be objected that there aren’t the opportunities now that f trc were in the old days. Well, we have had hard times, and would be unfair to deny that a lot of willing youngsters have j d discouraging experiences. 3t there is nothing wrong with this which American brains, afwrgy, and good will cannot cure. As we readjust and get back o balance there are going to be greater opportunities than r be fore. The boy who assumes otherwise, who is not ready the opportunities as they come, is going to miss the boat, om my knowledge of industry, it is my conviction that the nh'tlopment in this country is going to be greater in the next hl years than it was in the last fifty years. n I were twenty-one, well-1 would much rather be it than talk «out it, but I would not, I believe, hesitate for a moment to ’rv it over again on the same pattern.

Egypt Display of some of the ancient saws which have been found by archaeologists, the patent office with the first practical strong-jointed band saw. This new saw was a marked im- provement over the endless band saw patented in 1808, by William Newberry, of London, England, be- cause it could stand more wear. Dating from the Neolithic Age, the saw is one of man's most an- cient tool8. They were in use be- fore the discovery of metals, when only the crudest implements were used. Made by the Sumerians of ancient Babylon, 7,000 years ago, were two saws, made of obsidian, a volcanic glass, and believed to be the old- est. They are now kept in the Un- iversity Museum in Philadelphia.

At that time the Titanic was the world's largest ship. This disaster made the world ice- berg conscious and as a result an International Ice Patrol was formed to protect ships from these innocent-looking ice floes. Ice- bergs are often two or three hun- dred feet high and a city block across. At the beginning of each ship- ping season, about March 15, the United States Coast Guard dis- patches two modern cutters to look for icebergs. A third vessel, an oceanographic one with a scientif- ic staff and equipment aboard, col- laborates with the cutters. The cost of operating the patrol is defrayed, in a fixed proportion, by maritime governments, as deter- mined at a conference held in 1915. Since the patrol was organized not a single life has been lost in a collision between a ship and an iceberg in the area under surveil- lance . ____________ Band to Play at Church The Trade School band, under the direction of I.

Mercury Salesmen Visit Atul Dine in Trade School More than 1250 Mercury salesmen, coming from 31 of the 34 Ford Branches in the United States, have visited and had luncheon in Henry Ford Trade School since last May. There were about 45 men in each group. These salesmen spent four days in Detroit as guests of Ford Motor Co. During the visit they learned of the Ford Company's precision in car building, got a picture of the resources pouring into an automo- bile plant, saw the assembling of the various parts, and learned of the general history of Ford Mot o r Co. Following the visit each sales- man drove a Mercury, which he used as a demonstrator at heme.

In scraping Master Plates, after they have been machined, they are rough scraped. Then the three plate8 are scraped to each other alternating one to the other until they have a bearing spot about one- sixteenth of an inch in diameter and about 25 to 30 spots to each square inch. The tool used for flat scraping is rectangular in shape, 12 inches long, 1 to 1-j- inches wide, and tapers In thickness from £ inch to 3 32 inch at the cutting end. Since these tools are made of high carbon steel, flat files are fre- quently salvaged for making them.

A review of the inventions which have made television possible fol- lows: In 1873, an Irish telegrapher named May discovered that light varied the electrical resistance of selenium. Later Paul Nipkow patented a de- vice to separate color values mechanically. Karl Barun, a German scientist, discovered a means of showing vis- ually the variations of alternat- ing current in a vacuum tube. Little more was contributed to the advancement of television un- til after the World War. American scientists then led the procession with the invention of the photo- electric cell. Dr. Lee de Forest, an early radio experimenter, had already in- vented the three element vacuum tube which television researchers found highly effective in boosting the power of electric impulses. The invention of the iconoscope, commonly known as the eye of the television camera, is credited to Dr. Vladimir F. Zworykin, a Rus- sian refugee. Of equal importance is the kinescope, the screen upon which the image is produced. Combining all of these inven- tions the Bell Telephone Co., the National Broadcasting Co. and several free lance experimenters developed, and are now perfecting, practical television transmitters and receivers. proximately 80 surface plates. All have been scraped by students. In addition, the students of the scraping departments scrape sur- face plates, angle plates, cubes, and straight edges for Ford Motor Co. These tools are used by the in- spection department as aids to ac- curate gaging and checking of work, They are used in bench work to fa- cilitate laying out Jobs and in gage and fixture departments where the bases of such gages and fix- tures must be aligned accurately. The grinding department usee angle plates, surface plates, and cubes for setting up and checking work for finished size or location of surfaces. When a machine is reconditioned there is a Job for a scraper.

Waling Clips Donagon to Cop CYO Championship Victor Waling, senior, proved himself a mighty mite Wednesday, April 10 when he captured the championship in the 126-pound di- vision of the class C for novices in the CYO boxing tournament at Holy Redeemer gym. Though it was his debut into the amateur ring, Victor took the crown in his class without much trouble. He subdued four of his opponents by knockouts, three of them in the first round. In doing his clerical work, Victor Waling, sen- ior, is mild-mannered. He has never punched anyone to sleep outside of the ring. His final test was his meeting with Don Donagon, who, the night before, had set an all-time CYO record by putting away his oppo- nent in 13 seconds. Vic, however, had no trouble for he battered the game Donagon out of the fiet-fest in 1:15 of the first round. Victor is coached by his father, who once held the featherweight crown of Canada, and his three brothers.

A Trade School student who does :ot bank his own thrift fund and $t his bank book in on time will ot continue to receive $2 each ionth. last month 59 Trade School boys •ailed to return their bank books time, resulting in the loss of 1118. Thirty-five of these 59 boys had •he money in the bank before the -2th of the month but forgot to eturn their books on time. Failure to return bank books on ’•iae and to deposit the money per- sonally not only prevents the stu- •®nt from receiving $2 the next °ath, but may also prevent him from receiving scholarship while vacation. Toothpicks Elusive Things Steak Fry Hunters Find Since the treasure hunters found it difficult to determine a wild cherry tree from a sugar maple, it was a tough Job to find the col- ored toothpicks which were buried underneath the trees at The Crafts- man Steak Fry held at Cass-Benton Park, Saturday, April 27. This is how a husky athlete enjoys a good piece of steak. John Moons, senior, was one of the many who said, Bring on another piece.'' Finally, after climbing hills, retracing steps, and running at top speed, the winners appeared. Ace toothpick finders were John Shingleton and Eugene Kaczmarek, (Continued on page 4) Three Trade School Students To Attend Wolverine State Roy Hahn, M-B-2, will represent the David M.

Of course, all can't become Gird- lers or Knudsens after finding po- sitions in the shop. However, they can secure better Jobs and higher salaries by becoming skilled. The good mechanic has a large part in making the wheels of progress go 'round. Boys with mechanical ability will not regret the decision to turn to the shop for their life’s work. Through the shop, a boy will find a multitude of Jobs, such as production manager, superintendent, and foreman opened to him. Manu- facturers are always looking for skilled men who really know their stuff.” Beneficial Lectures Offered Engineering lectures are held currently by the Institute of Ra- dio Engineers, the American Chemi- cal Society, and other scientific associations. Few students go. The lectures are a source ox in- formation as well as entertainment Electrical, mechanical, chemical, civil and radio engineering, weld- ing and like topics are covered. Students that are interested are assured much benefit. Metallurgical Career Planned by Senior I wouldn't trade my experience in the Trade School for that re- ceived in any high school, is the testimonial that Jack Curtis, sen- ior, gives when talking about the Trade School. Jack attends night school and studies metallurgy i n Apprentice School. He plans to attend college in order to pre- pare for a metal- lurgical future. Jack Variety is the spice of life, quoths Jack, with a broad grin. I like to meet different people, see different places, and, in the Trade School, work on varied Jobs. 1 Last year he attended Camp Cus- ter, as a member of the Citizens Military Training Corps, rhere he won a marksman'8 medal. This sum- mer he plana to spend a month at Fort Sheridan as a cavalryman. When the serious-minded metal- lurgist is not behind a book; mov- ies, photography, baseball, and other sport8 usually take up his time. Jack believes that the social part of a man's life is important. Cross - Country In 27 Hours Seventeen years ago today the first coast to coast non-stop flight was accomplished by Lieuten- ants 0. Kelly and J. H. Macready, both of the U. S. Army, in 26 hours and 50 minutes. Their first attempts, both from San Diego, Cal., were in 1922 and failed. The flight was made in the U- nited States Army (Fokker) mono- plane T-2 from Roosevelt Field, New York, to Rockwell Field, San Diego, Cal. (2,500 miles.) tidbits John Blum and Wilbur Goehmann, instructors, went to New York last week to prepare the Trade School exhibit at the World's Fair for the boys due to arrive in May. Jack Me8sersmidt, senior, who came to the Trade School four and one-half years ago and took up tool and die making, has left the school to become a tailor. Jack made the costumes for the minstrel show in May 1938. Mothers Day,May 12, and Memorial Day, May 30; next holidays in May.

Students’ Voice To the editor: In reference to the Ice Patrol story in the last edition of The Craftsman, there seems to be a dis- crepency in the dates of the sink- ing of the Titanic. According to Comptons Pictured Encyclopedia, I the Titanic sank April 14, 1912. Fact Finder The Titanic sank in 1912. Ac- cording to the Encyclopedia Brit- tanica, the Titanic sank at 2:20 a.m. April 15, while the time of sinking is given as 11:40 p.m. A- pril 14 in Nelson's Encyclopedia. The Detroit News files have the time of hitting the iceberg as 11:40 p.m., sinking, as 2:20 a.m. What is Your Rating Do you believe in signs? Ceme- teries are being dotted by graves of people who disregard the last sign they saw. Some motorists ride along care- lessly without watching the road, and consequently fail to see traf- fic warnings. Others see, but ig- nore them. Stop signs, curve warnings; speed limit reminders, and other highway markers aren't put up for scenery but to be read and heeded. A driver who fails to obey these guides to safety is a menace to everyone on the highway, including himself. He is as dangerous as a murderous criminal with a nervous finger on the trigger of a gun. 7RTDAY, 1MY 3, 1940 TEE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Boxing Was 'Killing’ In Ancient Times With stomachs that resembled beer barrels and mustaches that curved high enough to tickle their ears, two brawny armed men would stand toe to toe in trunks which today are classed as long under- wear and slug it out in front of a record crowd of seme 200 per- sons. This was boxing in its first form. Boxing has existed since early Grecian times but was rather a orude sport until the Marquis of iueensbury rules were adopted in 1876. The purpose of these rules as to eliminate the brutality of professional prize fighting and to :ake boxing a good, clean sport. Although the original set of rules have been slightly changed .o meet modern demands, they still serve the purpose for which they � ere intended. Three five-minute rounds was the original rule with one-minute’s rest between rounds. If a man was mocked down, he was allowed a reasonable time to recover. Present day ruling provides lor ohree-minute rounds with ten sec- onds to recover from a knockdown. !he standard weight of gloves has oeen set at eight ounces.

It aafe though; soap was pure. New Do-all Metalmaster, Versatile Machine, Installed A Continental Do-all Metalmaster machine, with its continuous cut- ting efficiency, simplicity of op- eration, and greater saving of time, has been installed in the Trade School shop. Many operations otherwise done on shapers and milling machines, can now be done in a much shorter time. Rough lathe-work is also Ray Line, senior, working on the Do-all done. An important feature is the butt welding and annealing attachment. To cut a hole out of a piece of work the saw blade is broken so one end can be inserted through a small drilled hole in the piece to be cut out. The two broken ends of the blade are then placed in a small vise on the welding attach- ment to be welded and annealed. Annealing is done so that the piece will not be too brittle. When cooled, the weld is ground to the correct thickness of the blade, Measure your cloth a 1000 times; you Committee Decides on Site for Alumni Party Deutches Haus, a meeting hall, will be the site of the annual alumni party next fa 1, it v as an- nounced at a meeting held by the Alumni Committee at Lawrence Insti- tute of Technology last Saturday. The hall is at 8200 Mack Ave., cor- ner Parker. The Alumni Committee was formed last year to make arrangements for alumni activities and to get in touch with and to maintain contact with as many alumni as possible. William Mueller, '23, Thcanas Crowley, '22, Raymond Blanchard, '28, and Karl Horvath, '34, com- prise the central committee. G0 A. Yerex, personnel director, is treasurer of the committee and B. C. Brewen, '32, secretary. Any person who has been grad- uated from the Trade School is in- vited to attend the party. Those wishing to attend are asked to make reservation as soon as the tickets are put on sale as there will be only a limited number able to attend. A future edition of The Crafts- man will contain further data. on a grinding wheel located under the attachment. For external and internal contin- uous filing the file band used on the machine passes over the work in one direction only, eliminating the back stroke which so often dulls files. It is this steady, one-way filing that keeps the file surface even and prolongs its life. An illuminating magnifying glass i8 used to see layout lines. can cut it but once. TheCraftsman Quiz 1.

Courtesy Counts Two boys recently came into a classroom where two instructore stood talking. The first boy marched between the instructors without speaking. Hoping to impress the youth on the impoliteness o f his act, the in- structors moved closer together to create more oi of a barricade. But on his return he crowded through, still failing to apologize. The second boy came in, polite- ly walked around to the back of the rocm. He took care of hie business, and left the roam in the same courteous manner. This boy is likely to succeed. THAT AWFUL MOMENT o AT 3'M 9 ± FRIDAYo z your instructor finds you o5-minute job! Eric Hill From England Exposed by Thumbnail He shot a furtive glance toward the door. Seeing that he was hope- lessly trapped, he gasped, O.K., I'll talk.” Eric Hill, sen- ior, is 18 years old. He stands six feet four inches, and his slenderness makes him look even tal- ler. One boy, when introduced to him remarked, It makes me feel as Eric if I’m standing in a hole when I shake hands with him. At the age of 15 months Eric came to the United States from England. Before the January ccmmencement, some of the M-section A-class stu- dents formed a social club and se- lected Eric president. His hobby is collecting hot records. ”1 have about a hundred of them now. he said, then added with a sly grin, I don't mean sto- len ones either. What is Your Rating Have you ever seen an automobile wrapped around a tree or a tele- phone pole? If you have, you'll admit that the sight of twisted steel and signs of injury and death sent chills of terror down your spine. After seeing such a sight, most people vow never to drive careless- ly again. But it doesn't take long to forget, and some of these same people who were so shocked at the torn wreckage often beccme in- volved in a blood-curdling tragedy. Drivers, be careful when travel- ing on a highway, and whatever you do, don't drive when you're half asleep. If you can't stay awake, let someone else take the wheel.

It is his hobby. Jackson's hobby began six ye rfl ago when his father brought hi his first pieces from a friend in the city. At present he has 3q pieces valued at more than $300. His collection includes 15 flee, six pistols, a Vicker'a aa- Jackson's Collection chine gun, two aircraft bombs with I their charges removed, helmets, I bayonets, knives, and numerous I other articles that have been used in hunting trips and wars in days I gone-by. Several of his pieces have sto- I ries behind them. An old Reming- I ton 38 calibre pistol was used by I a fur trapper to kill animals and I to protect himself from enemies I that lurked in the woods.

Brunnn as he officially opened proceedings by welcoming more than COO Journalism students Professor John L. Brumm. director of U of M's department of lournalism and of the M.I.P.A. to the M. I. P. A. convention. This endearment brought titters of laughter from hie audience. Before he had finished, Professor Brurarn had his listeners fairly rolling in the aisles. Professor Brumm attempted to re- lay the fact that he once was and still is a great Romeo . When I was a youngster, he re- lated, my two chums and I decided that we were going to pick the three prettiest girls attending a church social and walk them heme. Each of us was to do the Job alone, and we sincerely premised each other that we would not back out. When the night of the social ar- rived we stood together outside the door waiting for the chosen girls. There was a bright porch light over the door, and the task before us made the light seem even more brilliant. I never could see any benefit derived from porch lights, added Mr. Brumm. Of course, everyone in the audi- ence nodded assension when he made this last remark. Soon one of the little girls came out, and the first of my chums, continued Professor Brumm, (Continued on page 4) Pages Three and Four This supplement to The Craftsman is devoted to happenings at the 19th Annual Michigan Interscho- lastic Press Association Conven- tion in Ann Arbor May 2, 3, and 4. It was written by members attend- ing the convention. The purpose of the M. I. P. A. convention was to give high school students working on school publi- cation a better knowledge of Jour- nalism and to help in the making of more intelligent and better citizens. The slogan for this year's con- vention was Better People for a Better World. Delegates from The Craftsman that attended the convention are Lloyd Rumpel, William Stairs, Mike Labick, Roxsy Rossi, Louis Smith, Frank Veraldi, George Zilli, John Oesdean, Joseph Bone, Robert Spurr, Philip Headings, Don Long, and E. H. Stoelting, adviser. ‘Beware of Words,’ Prof. Muyskens Tells Journalists Words, Words, Words, this coun- try is full of words many of which are dangerous; beware of them,they may conceal a lot of ignorance, said Professor John H. Muyskens, of the University of Michigan, to the delegates at the 19th Annual M. I. P. A. con- vention at Ann Arbor. It is hard to find out what words mean, said Prof. Muyskens Professor Muyskens. 'They are not constant and have different values. Words will mean one thing to certain people and have another meaning to other people. The word NICE, for example, has many meanings. Professor Muyskens, continued, telling the story of a farmer, a cabinetmaker, a laborer, and a forester. They were standing in a forest admiring a Douglas fir tree. When asked what they thought of the tree, the four men replied, It's a nice tree. The tree was nice but in what respect? To the farmer the tree was NICE because it could be cut down and made into a rail fence easily. The cabinetmaker said it was NICE because it could be chopped down and used for veneering and furni- ture making. The laborer said it was NICE because he could saw it down and sell It for firewood to buy necessities of life. To the 'Better People for a Better World’ is Contention Theme Professor John L. Brumm, of Uni- versity of Michigan's department of Journalism, requested that each school represented at the conven- tion write a motto on how to bring A Dr. Alexander G. Ruchven. president of the University of Michigan. about Better People for a Better World . In his humorous manner he declared that the winning motto would receive a prize of a big, red apple. Dr. Alexander G. Ruthven, presi- dent of the University of Michigan, Judged the mottoes at the conven- tion luncheon on Saturday May 4. Belleville High School, Belle- ville, Michigan won the red apple for submitting the following motto, Teach truth and education to the people of the world. Grand Rapids Union High School, Grand Rapids, Michigan won second prize of a large cookie, for their motto. The Trade School delegates sub- mitted the following motto, The coordination of capital and labor, the elimination of the 'power-mad', and the application of energies toward constructive purposes would gear the nations of the earth for universal peace and good will. Pictures of the convention that appear on these pages were taken by John Oesdean, W-A-l. The worse sin-giving up. forester it was NICE but not to chop down.

U of M Senior Hitch-Hikes Around the World on $82 Despite the fact that he is only a 25-year-old-senior at the Uni- versity of Michigan, Robert Friers, who spoke at the M. I. P. A. ban- quet, has made an international reputation as a traveler, shoe- string adventurer, and lecturer. I started hitch-hiking at the Robert Friers.

The subject of hi8 address was, A- round the World on $82.00 . Responding to a five-dollar bet by his roommate, he sold his books and seme personal belongings, and set eastward in January 1939. Interesting experiences were briefly told by this traveler who gave 50 cents, a necktie, two shirts, and a hunting knife for a ride across the Arabian Desert. Upon arriving in Singapore he was 22 pounds underweight, and had a temperature of 101 degrees. To make things worse he had practical- ly no cloths and only eight dol- lars left, which was not enough to return home. After his daring attempt to es- cape being sent back to Burma from Singapore, the American counsel interceded and made possible a trade of human cargo, 13 Chinamen for one American, so that Mr. Friers could be transported back to the United States.

We had read an etiquette book so we thought we knew the best method of approach. We had practiced it over and over again until we had our style per- fected. After a neat bow he po- litely inquired, 'May I have the pleasure of seeing you home to- night?' The girl turned up her Bnippy little nose and walked away. Mr. Brumm said he wanted to turn and run home, but it was too late, he had promised to see it through. The second fellow conspirator met with the same result. And near it was my turn, said the Journalism professorThe fancy approach has done them no good,141 said to my- self 'i'll use my own technique.

These were once con- sidered to be the only qualifica- tions necessary for publishing a newspaper, de- clared Lee A White, of The Detroit News, but the field has changed considerably. To- day the publishing of a newspaper is a highly special- ized business re- quiring the ser- vices of many Lee A White skilled workmen. Although the number of publica- tions is decreasing there are more people employed in the Journalis- tic field now than ever before. The trend today is toward better and fewer newspapers. In Journal- ism, as in all specialized fields, the Jack of all trades is being pushed out by the great demand for more specially trained men. When radio and movies were in- troduced it seemed as if they would soon supersede the printed word as a means of entertainment, education, and news dissemination, but the present day publications seem to thrive on their bogies and continue to offer enlarged op- portunities to the would-be Jour- nalist . fKTDAY, MAY 17, 1940 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE FIVE Race at Indianapolis Attracts Speed-Men With the approach of Decoration pay, automobile speed demons from all over the country are preparing to enter the famous Indianapolis 500-mile speed classic. Mechanics are still working on their cars. Already this year there is a black mark covering the famous race. George Baily, of Detroit, was killed during a practice run around the track. The Indianapolis speedway, built in 1909-10, has a two and one-half mile perimeter. The one-lap track record made in a qualifying run is 130,757 miles an hour, set last year by Jimmy Snyder, driving a Thorne Engineering Special. Jim- my got the pole position. The re- cord for 500 miles was set in 1938 at 117.2 miles an hour by Floyd Roberts, driving a Burd Special. Roberts was killed in a three-car crash last year. These distance runs are far from the fastest speed man has traveled cn land. John R. Cobb, an English- man, made a one mile run at the rate of 368.9 miles an hour, in Ms Railton Red Lion on the Bonne- Tille Salt Flats in Utah. In other words he traveled a marked-off ®ile in 9.76 seconds. This was sot a competitive run. Alumnus of T. S.

There was an early Indian settlement on the island, one of America's most historic spots. French, American, and British flags in succession have flown o- ver the island. Twenty-seven years after Cadil- lac founded Detroit, in 1701, the French established a Catholic mis- sion on the island for the Huron Indians. The Indian Chief Tecumseh, re- spected by his foes and friends alike, gathered his tribes there to help the British in the War of 1812. The Walk-in-the-Water, the first steamboat on the Great Lakes, an- chored overnight in Callam's Bay opposite Boh-Lo Island before puf- fing into Detroit the following morning on its history-making Jour- ney from Buffalo. Some time after this, a lighthouse was built. The lighthouse is still standing. Becoming Canadian territory in 1826, the island is now a part of the township of Malden, County of Essex, Province of Ontario. First private owner of the is- land was Colonel Arthur Rankin who bought it, with the exception of 14 acres at the south end, from the Canadian government for $40. About 1897, 10 acres were leased to the Bob-Lo Excursion Co. Final- ly, nearly the entire island was purchased by this company as a park for their excursions. TheCraftsman Quiz 1.

Bilbrey, the winning flinger, limited the Craftsmen sluggers to one hit in each of the first five stanzas. Bob Washer's single in the third inning scored Taylor and Moons who had gotten on base pre- viously by a pass and an error, respectively. In the sixth inning Rob Washer led off by drawing a base on balls. Ken Lewi8 singled, and Joe Bartha cleared the sacks with a mighty four-bag blow to account for the rest of the Craftsmen runs. John Dura was charged with the loss, having allowed seven runs and seven hits in the three innings he worked.

Youth Plus Soil Editorial There is something that a boy needs beyond food and sleep, books Back to the soil go the students. Planting 31 rows of Spanish onions took the '‘farmers” but a few days. and play. It is the satisfaction of working, with sweat on his face and calluses on his hands, close to earth. One of the real tragedies of the past decade has been the deni- al to hundreds of thousands of boys of any opportunity for useful labor. Looking around himself at this waste of a generation of young- sters, Henry Ford, who was once a farm boy himself, decided there was 8cmethlng he could do about it Last spring a 43-acre tract of land was put at the disposal of 394 Trade School students. The gardeners worked individually and owners of the best gardens were awarded prizes. This year a different system has been inaugurated. The gardens are now a school project in which every student has a part. Mr. Ford has often said, With one foot on the land and one in in- dustry America is safe. Because the youth of today will become the men of tomorrow, Mr. Ford has given the Trade School a large garden in the hope that indirectly America may became safe. The few hours that students go to the gardens are well spent be- cause it gives the boys an oppor- tunity to work in fresh air and sunshine, and to observe nature at work. They are raising food. Thus another worth-while project begins and students have another opportunity for which to be thank- ful. Boat to Leave Dock for Bob-Lo at 9:30 With the blast of its whistle and the churning of its propellers, the steamer Columbia will begin its 12th annual excursion run for students, alumni, and instructors of the Trade School, with their friends and families, that will be going to the Bob-Lo outing on Sat- urday, June 8. The steamer that has been char- tered by the Trade School will leave the Woodward dock at 9:30 a. m. sharp. The chartered boat will relieve the congestion that was on the b«ats last year. Besides the regular amusements, there will be a new roller rink at Bob-Lo this year. It will be housed in the auditorium. Prices will be 15 cents an hour. Skating will be continuous from 11 a.m. to 11 p. m.

The difference between toolmak- ing as a trade and toolmaking as a hobby is in the size of the arti- cles made. The tools Ernest makes in the Trade School are used by full-sized mechanics, whereas those made in his basement work- shop seem to have been designed for' scxne so-far-undiscovered Lilli- putian race. Many of these tools are less than one inch long. Masterpiece of his collection is a one-inch long monkey wrench which actually works. His minia- ture working model of a drill vise may be placed on a quarter. The principal equipment used in making the models are a drill press and a lathe, added to an un- limited supply of ingenuity. Models made by Ernest are anvil, monkey wrench, V-block, hammers, screwdrivers, open-end wrenches, chisel, drill vise, file, hatchet, rawhide mallet, oil can,and pliers. Ernest is assisted in his hobby by his brother Joseph who was grad- uated from the Trade School i n 1S36. Migrating birds usually fly through a 3torm instead of perch- ing safely on land.

The rolling country and beauti- ful hills and forests present a picture that can capture man's soul. If you wish to observe the scen- ery, stop and enjoy a long look instead of taking a hurried glance. If you take your eyes from the road when your are traveling at a high rate of speed you are endan- gering the 1 ive8 of other people.

Life Magazine, 1922 First Memorial Day Was to Honor Civil War Dead In honor of the soldiers killed in the American Civil Wer, the Spanish-American War, and the World War, May 30 is commemorated as Memorial Day. May 30 was first observed as Dec- oration Day, but in 1882 the Grand Army of the Repub- lic urged that the proper designation be Memorial Day. Commander - in - Chief John A. Lo- gan of the Grand Army dedicated the first Memorial Day, for the pur- pose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country. May 30 is observed in Virginia as Confederate Memorial Day. Con- federate Memorial Day is June 3 in Louisiana and Tennessee; April 26 in Alabama, Florida. Georgia, and Mississippi; and May 10 in North Carolina and South Carolina. ’Young Tom Edison’ to Be Shown in Auditorium to Student Body Through the courtesy of Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer studios, the motion picture Young Tom Edison will be shown in the auditorium to all Trade School students during their class week.

Florence Nightingale Was Inspiration for Red Cross Henri Dunant, of Geneva, got his inspiration to found the Red Cross from the famous nurse Miss Flor- ence Nightingale. The Red Cross movement is said to have had its or igin in the battle of Solferino i n the Italian War of 1859. After wit- nessing the battle, M. Dunant graphically described the suffer- ings of the wounded soldiers in his publication The Souvenir of Solferino . This caught the attention of a Genevese lawyer Gustave Moynier, who appointed a committee of five to consider plans and methods of embodying Dunant's plan for the present Red Cross. The first conference on this sub- ject was held in Geneva on October 25, 1863. Thirty-six delegates Including representatives of 14 nations attended and recommended that relief societies be formed in each nation. In May, 1881, Miss Clara Barton interested President Garfield and James G. Blaine, then Secretary of State, in the organization. In July of the same year The American Association of the Red Cross, with Miss Barton as presi- dent, was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia.

Author Explains Theory of the ‘Sportsman’s Grip' That perfection of play and not necessarily determination to win should be the aim of every player waa the principal thought in an impromptu talk on the Sportsman's Grip given to the W-C-l Journal- ism class last week by Thcnaa Sayres, employee of Ford Motor Co. and author of several magazine articles on sportsmanship. ”1 have a new theory called the 'Sportsman's Grip, stated Mr. Sayres. The phlm of the hand represents respect and the fire fingers stand for respect for the game, for the officials, for the opponents, for the teammates, and for the public. He advises young players to work every play out. Practice time and time again until the play is swiftly and skilfully executed. If athletes strive to master the finer points, he concluded, they will do away with ill feel- ings and ill effects that frequent- ly accompany the game. Befftre summer is over, Mr. Sayres plans to have his new hook on organizing the rural sections for play-activities published.

Apprentice School, the Trade (Continued on page 4) Dear Parents: Those of us who live in cities and have no direct contact with the soil forget that all our wealth and our very existence are dependent on the intelligent labor of men in mines and forests and fields. Compared with conditions which existed In this country only a few generations ago, life in moderate comfort can be maintained without the struggle that confronted our grandparents. Many have ccane to feel that we are born into a world of plenty and that it is our right to share it whether or not we contribute to the general store. To help our students know and ap- preciate something of these funda- mental facts Henry Ford Trade School has been given a tract of 43 acres for a school garden. On this land many of the common vegetables have been planted and the students are cultivating and caring for them as a school pro- ject. This plot of ground should mean more to us than a field of corn and tomatoes. It is a symbol that we intelligently recognize our con- stant dependence on nature. In- structors of the school, the stu- dents and their families should have pride in this garden and rec- ognize it as an important phase of our educational program. We hope that a large number of those who do this work will not only get a better appreciation of the planning and skill required for intelligent cooperation with the forces of nature, but may also develop a love for gardening and perhaps a hobby that may in the years ahead become a source of health and pleasure.

De- scendants of the couple were bom and have died, new crops were in- troduced into the garden, but the formula remained the same. Elim- ination of any part would mean the end of the wor.ld. All people recognize the man and woman as essential but are apt to overlook the garden, which is as important as the others.

Although his na- ture forces hin towards finishing any Job he be- gins, there is one instance in which it did not prevail. He de- cided to dismantle the motor of his Model-A and rebuild it. The Job was started, but the resuite were disastrous----he needed a new motor. Well liked, Bill has a pleasing personality and gets much enjoy- ment out of exchanging ribbings with his friends. What is Your Rating No one likes to have the pleas- ure of summer vacation spoiled by death or injury. But that is what happens too often when vacation- ists drive carelessly an highways crowded with summer drivers. Before starting a long trip, have your car checked thoroughly by a mechanic. Be sure that it is in condition to cope with the cany driving hazards caused by differ- ent types of weather, roads, and traffic ordinances. Thoughtful- ness in this respect will reduce summer vacation tragedies to a minimum.

FRIDAY,, JUNE 14, 1940 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Police Radio Began in Detroit in 1921 A reflector aerial, to regulate the direction of radio waves, is used by the Belle Isle station of the Detroit Police radio system, to keep its signal from interfer- ing with the police radio station A rolling pin throwing contestant. at Baltimore, Maryland, which has the same frequency. This enables the use of a higher transmitting aerial and more power than would otherwise be permissible. Police radio began as an experi- ment in 1920 in Detroit. Because of fragile receivers and ignition interference it was not an immedi- ate success, but in 1921 a station was organized for exclusive police use, bearing the call letters KOP. Improvements in transmitters and receivers resulted in the organi- zation of the first successful ra- dio patrol in 1928. Before this time, no bands were set aside for police use and commercial broad- casting rules had to be obeyed. One of the rules was that they had to supply entertainment with their broadcasts, and for a time the po- lice had an orchestra and soloists for this purpose. These rules were revised in 1928, when the Federal Communications Commission granted police radio the exclusive use of certain bands.

The American flag stands for the hardships undergone by the pio- neers. It brings out the true feeling of the Declaration of In- dependence. It recalls the blood shed at Concord and Lexington and the spirit of George Washington at Valley Forge and Yorktown. Love of the flag is shown by the devotion of Captain Stephen Driver whose name for the flag Old Glory” is still used today; and by Fram- eis Scott Key when he was inspired to write 'The Star Spangled Banner in respect for the flag which he hoped was still floating over Fort McHenry during the Revolution. The first American flag was made by Mrs. Betsy Ross, a seamstress who lived in Philadelphia. When the flag is correctly hung the stars should be on the left. For all Dad Has Done, Show Your Appreciation This Sunday Who is that fellow who gives you that extra dollar and the car to take out your best girl? Who is the fellow you consult when you are in trouble? Why, it’s dad of course. On Father's Day, Sunday, June 16, is a good time to show your appre- ciation for all he has done for you. If he is living, you can do this by spending the day with him or buying him a present which he will appreciate. If he has passed on, remembering him and placing flowers on his grave this day would be a token of respect. Perpetual Motion Machine Realized as Improbability For centuries, man has sought to control energy and make it do his bidding. In many ways he has suc- ceeded, but with the perseverance Miss IU Jean Willard, drum majorette, leads the band around the park. which has made the human race su- preme, he has always striven to- ward a more perfect control of en- ergy and power. Many scientists dreamed of a perpetual motion machine, that is, a machine which, when once set in motion, would continue moving for- ever without a renewal of its en- ergy. Much ingenuity has been expended upon the problem of con- structing such machines but grad- ually the improbability of perpet- ual motion has been realized. The initial energy of a perpet- ual motion machine would gradually be used up in overcoming resist- ance and friction and the machine would eventually stop. If all friction and resistance could be overcome a simple device, such as a spinning top, could re- tain forever motion given to it but would not be able to do any work. So that even if practical, perpetual motion would be of no use unless a device could be de- veloped that was more than 100 per cent efficient. The Craftsman Quiz 1.

Jones, Curator of the Fordson High School Horticultural Gardens, to the M- section students in the Little Theatre of the Ford Rotunda, June 6. Declaring that the automobile is a product of the land, Mr. Jones listed many farm products which are used in the modern auto- mobile . That soy beans are used for e- namel and plastics; animal hides, cotton,and wool for upholstering ; and rubber for tires and insula- tion were a few of the examples he cited. Wherever we live, we live on a farm, Mr. Jones asserted. The United States is the garden spot of the world. Pointing out that scientific development is permitting an ever increasing use of farm products, he added, 'The soil directly af- ects our opportunities to carve out a career, regardless of what our vocation may be. Plants prove the wealth of the land, Mr. Jones said. The beau- ty of the home or property lies in its surroundings. You can't make plants grow, but you can help them along, he con- cluded. Every boy has the respon- sibility of becoming a man, and there is no better place to learn how to do this than from nature.

Wildcats vs Silver Lancers The T-section Wildcats sank the l-Bection Silver Lancers 6 to 3 to :apture the Senior League soft- ball championship. In six innings, Sanecki, Silver Lancer hurler, gave up eight hits, no walks, and struck out eight. Broda, his opponent, allowed only six hits but gave up five passes while striking out seven. Crist, Wildcat shortstop, hit a homer in the fifth to maintain a perfect day at bat with a home run and two singles In three trips to the plate. T- Champs vs Supermen Holding the Supermen, W-E-l sec- tion champs, scoreless freon the third inning on the T-D-l Champs iefeated them 6 to 5 after the game had entered into extra in- nings, to capture the Trade School thampionship in the Junior Intra- dural Softball League. Girodonia, T-D-l, settled down and pitched scoreless ball after allowing the Supermen five runs in the first three innings. His team- dates scored one run in the sixth and seventh to tie the score and one in the ninth to win. Zephyrs vs Scatterbrains An insurmountable seven-run on- slaught in the first inning en- abled the T-F-4 Zephyrs to defeat the M-F-2 Scatterbrains for the Midget League championship of the school. The Scatterbrains settled down after the first inning blitzkrieg, but found the left-handed offer- ings of Lambert, Zephyr pitcher, somewhat difficult. They garnered but two hits, one of them a four- eacker by Shedd. Ninowski and Shedd shared the mound duties for the Scatterbrains. Ninowski was charged with the defeat. M-Section Cop 3 First Honors at Track Event The eyes of the fans were on the M-section athletes as they won three first-place honors in the four-event program during the Sec- tion Track Championship finals run at Track 1 last Saturday at Bob-Lo Island. The first event was the high Jump. Claude Brown, M-A-2, soared over the bamboo at 4 feet 6 inches to capture a gold medal. Second and third placers in high Jump were Wallace Sage, W-E-2, and George Banda, M-A-3, respectively. Next on the card was the 75-yard dash. Wesley Moore took home a gold medal in this event while Ed- ward Sage and Robert Aiken each won silver and bronze medals, re- spectively. Neither of the three is a Trade School student. Lanky Louis Smith, T-A-l, and Claude Aiken, W-E-2, took second and third prizes for the running broad Jump, after Claude Brown pinned another gold medal on his shirt for copping first place. To wind up the four o'clock track finals, a 100 yard dash was run. George Banda led the pack, Louis Smith, second, followed by Claude Aiken. Student Won 3 Medals, Girl’s Heart at Bob-Lo Claude Brown, M-A-2, looked like a lighted Christmas tree last Sat- urday at Bob-Lo, after the track events were over. While photographers were shoot- ing him, his girl friend threw admiring glances at his sparkling chest, and on-lookers noticed that Claude was leaving a deeper foot- print as he walked abou+ the field. The solution to this mystery lies in the fact that Claude won three medals for his athletic abil- ity and was proudly displaying his prizes to those about him. Two gold medals were presented him for taking first place in the M-sec- tion high Jump and running broad- jump events and a silver medal for second place in the 100 yard dash, Trade School open contest. Claude also won two medalfe in 1938 at Bob-Lo. When asked what his girl friend said about his prizes, Claude blushed, turned away, stuffed his hands into his pockets and said, Never mind.

Marvin Wrenbeck, shop hurler, al- lowed but seven well scattered hits. His opponent, John Heinz, gave up nine safeties. Pritchard Amstutz, bookstore, was top slugger of the game, get- ting three of his team's seven hits. The five-inning game was umpired by A. N. Edel, general foreman.

Winfield Whitey Rhubart, Crib 32, earned his first money, the handsome sum of three dollars, at the age of eight years when he dug into a three-foot pile of snow to clean a neighbor's brick sidewalk. Meyer John WinsJansen, painter, worked in a .copper mine as a fore- man of a rock crushing gang for 18 years on 10-hour shifts. New Life Commencement--the beginning of a new phase of life--is a thought which, at present, is high in the minds of 175 T. S. students. Five years ago their biggest problem was wrangling enough cash out of ma or pa to go to the show. Now they are man-sized, and will face man-sized difficulties. A lot of fun and memorable ex- periences are in store for them. May the June 1940 graduates emerge with banners flying frem their one big adventure. Today they are men, the Trade School is proud of them. What is Your Rating When driving on a highway, the way to round a curve safely is to remain on the right side. Never attempt to pass another car on a curve for this act of carelessness often results in a head-on colli- sion. This type of accident, es- pecially if it happens at high speed, usually results in loss of life. If driving at night, regardless of speed limits, drive slowly e- nough so that you can see curves in time to get around them without crossing the center line. _____________FRIDAY, JUNE 28. iQjn Tinkering Senior Recalls Narrow Escape From Fall Dangling from a garage roof i, one trouser cuff that had luckily hooked on a nail when he slipped trying t o Jump from the roof,Elio Zilli, senior, was thus the victim of a double-dare.

Included in the band was Trade School student Joe Reece, M-C-2, who plays the cornet. Joe, who has studied music for three years, plays In the Trade School and American Legion bands and while attending public school played in the All-City Band at Cass Technical High School. I am organizing my own band now, said Joe, as I plan to make a living with my music.

From first to last Edison filed in the United States Patent Office more than 1400 applications for patents and had at least 1500 other inventions. Pattern Making Essential to Iron Casting Industry Before any metal casting can be made it is first necessary to con- struct a form of either wood or metal and of such construction that it may easily be withdrawn from the sand. This form is known as a pattern. Each pattern presents a new de- sign different from the last, in- volving same different problem as to construction and method of mold- ing. When it is necessary to make several patterns of the same de- sign, only one, known as the mas- ter pattern, is made of wood. The others are made of metal. Metal patterns are constructed from alu- minum, brass, or cast iron. To become an efficient tradesman one should have a thorough under- standing of mechanical drawing, molding, core making, and blue print reading.

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1940 Training School 5 Years Old June 25 Fifth anniversary of the Ford Training School was Tuesday, June 25. This school (not to be con- fused with the Trade School) occu- pies 28,000 square feet of floor space in the -northeast corner of the Ford Foundry Building. Henry Ford's profound interest in youth prompted him to start this school because he saw in it an opportunity to take Jobless high school graduates off the street, teach them a trade and give them a good start in their adult life. Each student must be a high school graduate between the ages of 18 and 20. To date 155 schools have been represented. The school is equipt to handle approximately 225 students at a time with courses in tool and die making, electrical, heat treat, welding, metallurgy, chemistry, and auto mechanics. After the boys have been in the school for three Former Teacher Visits School and Reminisces Among schools which train teen- age boys in technical and mechani- cal fields Henry Ford Trade School is without a peer,' stated William H. Hawkes, former Trade School in- structor who re- newed many old ac- quaintances during a visit here last Tuesday. Daddy Hawkes, as he was affec- tionately known to students and in- structors alike, founded and was head of the science department of the Trade School from 1923 to 1927. Before earning to the Trade School, Mr. Hawkes was a professor at the University of Michigan and a metallurgist in a laboratory of Ford Motor Co. Mr. Hawkes is now living in New York and is consulting metallur- gist for several New York firms. His day at the school was spent visiting old friends, including many instructors whom he taught as students. One of Mr. Hawkes favorite oc- cupations seems to be reminiscing of old days in the Trade School, Ford Motor Co., and days further back when he planned to be a Bap- tist minister.

It will also reduce the time of fabricating many of the Jobs which were formerly done on the hand brake. months they are transferred into the factory. During the three months in the school each student is tried on various Jobs and a close watch is kept to decide for what vocation he is best suited. Modem machines and precision tools are used, making it possible to work with dimensions accurate within .0001 of an inch. All Jobs are utilized; the work is all prac- tical and the material made is used in tool and die or mainte- nance divisions. Students studying auto mechanics do motor repair work on the fleet of trucks used in the factory. The boys meet for two one-hour classes each week in the Appren- tice School to study subjects re- lated to their shop work. The brief three-month course isn’t ex- pected to produce accomplished machinists, but merely to acquaint the boys with safety rules, types of metals, shop efficiency, and the fundamentals of machine prac- tice. When the school opened, the per- sonnel consisted of 25 students and six instructors. This has in- creased to 225 day shift and 50 afternoon shift students and 40 instructors. Two of these instruc- tors have been enrolled in the school as students. Fourteen are Trade School graduates. Approxi- mately 3600 boys have been en- rolled to date. 'Little Joe’ Hopes to be a Pro Baseball Player To be a professional baseball player is the ambition of Joe Bar- tha, Trade School graduate of June '39, who works in the fourth floor bench department. Little Joe , as he is commonly called, comes by his nickname honestly for h e is a mere five feet five inches. Joe has a lively disposition Little Joe and a contagious ear-to-ear grin. His continual chatter behind the plate at Craftsmen games keeps the team in high spirits even hen they lose. This prompted his team- mates to elect him captain for the 1940 season. Joe was bora in Detroit, and though he hasn't had much chance to travel, has a desire to do so. For enjoyment in his spare time he plays hot music on his clar- inet or saxophone. He says he'd like to have an orchestra of his own after he retires from baseball. Grads arc ’Kings for a Day’. but Monday Lurks Nearby Same strutted around like gener- als. Others strolled leisurely through the corridors like kings. They had completed their academic training and this was Friday, the last day of school. It was the A- class boys observing the custom of filling autograph albums with the names of classmates and instruc- tors, enjoying music in the audi- torium, and bringing friends to the school. No work, all pleasure. Younger boys eyed them enviously and then turned their eyes wist- fully back to their books. Yes, Kings for a Day. But only for a day, soon comes Monday. With it comes democracy.

The Craftsmen counted twice in the second inning on doubles by Dura and Findlay, and a single by Lenk. Another pair was scored in the fifth on an error, Dura’s sin- gle, and a triple by Maconochie. Lewis tied his own game at five all in the sixth with a terrific four bagger. The game was decided in the seventh when, after the Alumni team scored two runs, the Craftsmen could only muster one. Each team connected for ten safe blows. Schilk, Monks, and Hoffman were the hurlers used against the Craftsmen. Shop Instructors Top School Golf Tourney Shooting a team score of 368 for IQ holes, the Trade School shop in- structors’ golf team captured the Ford Schools Golf Tournament, held in conjunction with the annual Bob-Lo outing, Saturday, June 15, at the Duck Lake Golf and Country Club. Members of the winning team were Captain Urban Lucas, Steve Vigh, Ed Gaterman, and Elmer Gorbett. Close behind in second place came the Apprentice School team with a 376 score, the Training School in third with 330, and the Trade School class instructors bringing up the rear with 403.

PAGE SIX THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY; JUNE 28. 194Q Craftsmen Tie for 2.nd in Federation Since entering Class D of the Detroit Baseball Federation, the Craftsmen have won two games and dropped one to gain a tie for se- cond place in the league. Starting with a bang, they smoth- ered the Goldsmith aggregation 18 to 6 at Palmer Park, June 2. When Ken Lewis, starting Crafts- men flinger, failed to display his usual effectiveness after 3 2 3 innings, he was ousted. Johnny Dura pitched hitless ball for the remainder of the contest. The Craftsmen defeated MeIvin- dale 2 to 0 as Johnny Dura won a pitchers' duel with George Taxony in a game June 9. The Craftsmen put mins across the plate in the fifth and sixth when Dura and Bob Washer, respec- tively, managed to make the trip. The Craftsmen collected but three hits—a triple by Tank, and singles by Lewis and Findlay—as Seifert, Gratiot-Harper's red-top- ped pitching ace earned a Aut-out victory June 16. Ken Lewis, Craftsmen twirler, gave up three runs and seven hits. The double-header scheduled for last Sunday was rained out. This will necessitate two more double feature days before the end of the season.

The main purpose was and is to give ambitious young men a thor- ough acquaintance with industrial practice, remove the handicap of inexperience, so that wherever they may choose to work, they can start abreast of their times and on equal terms with other young men of their generation. It was not to remedy a lack of mechanics that Mr. Ford developed the idea of this school, but to supply the lack of opportunity for boys who wanted to be mechanics. Mr. Cameron next discussed the school's method of teaching. Learning from books, asserted he, or in classrooms,only two or- gans of knowledge, the eye and ear, are used. But we ignore one o f our greatest organs--the hand. What we learn through the hand-- anything we learn by actual prac- tice--is brought closer to us, its processes are more deeply engraved on our understanding memory. In closing, Mr Cameron told the graduates that America is richer than ever in opportunities today. The real progress of America is all ahead of us, You will have your share in it, because you have fitted yourself to have a share in it, he added.________ Thank You The Bob-Lo committee wishes to express its appreciation to all persons who helped make the annual picnic the success it was.
