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.
