L i9i6 - TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY NUMBER - 1941 Henry Ford Trade School YEARBOOK Dearborn, Michigan 1540-1941 dedication Enriched by three ideals — courage, achievement, and skill — we, the 1941 graduates of Henry Ford Trade School, dedicate this yearbook to Edsel Ford, whose interest and concern in our well- being inspires us to go forth and serve. Q aAucdei.' Henry Ford Trade School has many activities which increase in popularity each year. We, the graduating classes of 1941, present Volume Five of The Craftsman and a picture supplement. It is our hope that through these pages you will recall fond memories in the years to come. Your class is graduating in the year Henry Ford Trade School celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary. From a small and unknown school it has grown in size and importance. Today it is in the educational limelight because of the need for trained men. Your experience in the mechanical field throws on you a responsibility in proportion to your ability and experience. Our wish for you is that you may accept this responsi- bility eagerly and enthusiastically and thus render a worth- while service to your country in its time of need. F. E. Searle, Superintendent of Ford Schools To the Graduates of 1941: The future will be filled with conditions requiring decisions which will decide whether success or failure is to be yours. For four years you have been training your- selves to be able to make those decisions correctly. The high percentage of useful careers achieved by former grad- uates proves that you have better-than-the-avcrage boy’s opportunity. Congratulations and Best Wishes for your SUCCeSS. G. A. Ycrcx, Personnel Director To the Graduating Class: The value of practical training lies in the fact that it gives men the power to do, and on this power today hangs the fate of nations. It is my hope that the training provided in the shop will prove a valuable foundation for many successful careers. Therefore, it is my desire to con- gratulate the students who are graduating at this time when technical knowledge is at the highest premium. E. Y.

Pictures and messages of Supt. F. E. Searle, G. A. Yerex, personnel director, and E. Y. Peterson, shop superintendent; Volume five of The Craftsman; and montages showing graduates engaged in school activi- ties, made up the book. New Instructors Join Faculty; Changes Made E. H. Bailey, shop theory in- structor, left the Trade School during the summer to accept a po- sition as instruc- tor and coordinat- or of the school shop for the Big Rapids High School, Big Rapids, Mich- igan.

Numbers, English instruc- tor, will teach the philosophy of the Pathfinders to Trade School students. A new member of the school' s faculty, Thomas Sayres will teach C-l Journalism and Mr. Number's English classes._____ Founder of Pathfinders Dies J. F. Wright, organizer and ex- ecutive secretary, of the Path- finders of America, died recently at his heme of an illness which forced him to discontinue his teaching of the Pathfinder philos- ophy in the Trade School six months ago. From 1926 to 1928 Mr. Wright taught his philosophy to Trade School students. He returned to the Trade School in 1939 to resume his teaching until his final ill- aess forced him to retire. Red-Haired Maestro Bids School Goodbye School days began once again for I. J.

A Sorry-to-see-you-go program was given the red-haired Trade School graduate of '36 during the Thursday morning singing period, Sept. 12. W. A. Dopke, manager of the band, expressed his regret of the depar- ture of such a swell fellow. There is a little note of sad- ness here this morning, declared Supt. F. E. Searle, but we know Isaie is going on to greater en- deavors. Mr. Searle gave the band maestro the best wishes of the Trade School and presented him with a brown Gladstone bag, a gift from the members of the band. Red expressed his thanks to the students and instructors for the (Continued on page 4) Good Harvest Yeilded From School Community Garden With 4600 dozen ears of corn, six tons of beans, seven tons of cabbage, 6000 bunches of carrots, and 7000 bunches of beets har- vested, the first year of communi- ty gardening by Henry Ford Trade School students is closing. Harvesting of peppers, tomatoes, squash, and melons is now in prog- ress. Potatoes, late cabbage, and late green beans will be harvested in about two weeks. During the summer, lessons were taught in botany, entomology, and soil building. Each group of stu- dents spent about 30 minutes in the garden classroom before going out on the garden. Classroom work was supplemented with a trip to the field.

Red Petovello, who recent- ly left to study music at Albion College, began organizing the Trade School Band. The group was small at first, but when other mu- sically inclined students saw the amazing progress Red was making, they too Joined the boys . Since that time the band has faced and overcame many disheartening obsta- cles. Red's interest in the boys prompted them to sacrifice much of their own time for group practice which is so essential to success. J. F. Wright, Humanitarian Few people stop to care or to think how their fellow men fare in life. One of the few was J. F. Wright, Human Engineering instructor. Nearly all students knew the mn who devoted most of his life to stamping out crime and unhappiness by spreading the gospel of common sense. Many a person was put on the right track in life through being guided either personally by Mr. Wright or some of his teach- ings. Any person who carries on the Pathfinder work as organized by Mr. Wright is rendering a humanitarian act worthy of much praise. It takes six acres of spruce tim- ber to make the paper used for the Sunday issue of any of a number of United States newspapers. For students interested in sing- ing, Vaughan Heard, senior, has organized a 25-voice glee club for younger boys and a 60-voice glee club for older boys. Twenty-minute instruction peri- ods in sight-reading and vocaliza- tion will precede each rehearsal. Rehearsals are from 3 to 4 p.m. after class in the auditorium. Sheets were prepared by Vaughan during the summer explaining the mechanics of music. No engagements for the clubs have been made, although several invitations from churches have been received. Vaughan studied voice under the guidance o f Thaddeus Wronski, noted voice instructor. Student Enters College to • Study Plane Designing Gigantic airliners that speed across the sky and span oceans may same day be the products of the mind of John Oesdean, June gradu- ate, who left the school in July to study aeronautical engineering at an engineering college 1 n Glendale, California. To advance hi8 knowledge of aviation further he is taking flying lessons. In a letter to the school John emphasized the fact that his shop training has helped him a great deal. He wrote: I n the little time I have been here I have found out how much the Trade School has really helped me. All of my school and shop training helps me in some way or another. While on The Craftsman staff John received Quill and Scroll honors. He was one of the Trade School delegates to the M.I.P.A. Journalism convention held in Ann Arbor last May. Next month John is to begin work on his school paper. Chemical Manufacturing Occupies Senior’s Leisure I have studied chemistry evei since I was nine years old, and ] hope to became a research chemist, Tom in the midst of an experiment. said Thomas Kirby, senior. Professor Kirby , as he is often called because of his scien- tific attitude, established the K and K (Kirby and Kelly) Chemical Works of Ecorse in 1937. The com- pany manufactured different chemi- cal preparations such as perfumes, ink, and cement for model air- planes, and made quite a profit- able business of it.

Edi- son's adult life, is being showr in the auditorium movie periods. The picture begins at the Gold- en Lights Jubilee i n 1929, flashes back 50 years, review: Edison's life, then returns to the Jubilee and ends. Wizards of make-up transformed Spencer Tracey into Thomas A. Edi- son, his acting completed the il-j luslon. Brilliant characteriza- tions are turned-in by Rita John- son, as Edison's wife, Charles Co- burn, as Colonel Powell, Wester Union president, Lynne Overman, as the money-borrowing, exaggeratlng telegrapher friend of Edison, Gen Lockhart, as the penny-pinching' shrewd, unscrupulous Shylock vie tries to defeat Edison, and Gen Reynolds, Detroit boy, a s the youthful assistant. It is a truh great motion picture. FRIDAY, SEPT. 20, 1940 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Equipment Installed for Beginner Typists For use in his typing classes C. r. Weems, typing and English in- structor, had four new tables and 20 new chairs installed in his Eleven fleet - fingered Trade School typing stu- dents pound away at their machines, as they receive regular high school typewriting instruc- tion five nights a week. classroom during the summer months. The tables, built and designed in the school shop, have birch tops and gray, cast iron legs. Swivel-type chairs are being used because they are more conven- ient and comfortable for typing. The 20 new typewriters ordered for the class are of four differ- ent makes. The purpose for this arrangement is to familiarize the students with the different kinds of typewriters. T. S. Garden Students Read Epitaph With Bowed Heads Reverence is the attitude shown as Trade School Thrift Garden stu- dents near the end of their tour of the garden site guided by E. H. Stoeltlng, of the Garden Depart- ment. They are approaching a nound of dirt, — yes, i t is a grave, with a tombstone a t its head which reads: Buried here the fourth day of September are six earworm-infested corn stalks. It is the nature of the earworm to burrow seven or eight inches into the ground to pupate. These specimens, however, were put away several weeks before their natural self-burial time. The reason for the experiment is to test whether or not these pests can be destroyed by plowing the stalks under before the worms ma- ture . After reading the epitaph you wonder why the students are shed- ding tears. Then your attention is called to the fact that the grave is near the onion patch. Class Picture Tradition Began in January, 1926 It was back in January, 1926 when the tradition of taking class pictures of Trade School graduates began. The Job of distributing the photographs to each member of the January ’26 graduating class fell on the shoulders of C. G. Rogers, English instructor. If you happen to pass by Roan 9, take a peek at those six pictures on the bulletin board. They each belong to a graduate of '26 who neglected to get his class picture from Mr. Rogers. Students Journey East by Model-A In 1927 Charles A. Lindber imade his daring, history-making air- plane flight across the Atlantic. This summer two Trade School stu- dents, Jack Bothwell, W-C-l, and Ernest Epps, W-C-2, made an almost as daring but a less publicized trip to New York by automobile. Following is Ernest's log of the trip: We left Detroit in a two-tone, 1930 Model-A Ford, with a little more than $65 between us two adven- turers . Although we received 13 road maps from gas stations where we stopped for water for our leaking radiator on the way to Toledo we got lost in that metropolis and also in Sandusky. About 5:30 one afternoon, 30 hours out of Detroit, we reached the outskirts of Manhattan. Just outside the Holland Tunnel a uniformed gentleman beckoned us to the curb. Where are you two going? he asked. ,fWell,-we-er-uh-we're going t o the fair, I blurted out. Then the uniformed gentleman be- gan his chant. I can show you fellows the greatest hotel in New York. Twenty minutes from the heart of Broadway, one block from the subway that takes you to the Fair, special rates to Michigan tourists, etc. Then like the farmer who bought Gage Tests Lifetime of Starter Switches To determine the lifetime of a starter switch is the function of a gage designed and built in the The starter switch testing gage. Trade School shop. Two switches are tested at a time, current being alternately fed to the switches in cycles of one second on, two seconds off. After the current has passed through the switches it is ab- sorbed by five resistance coils located at the rear of the gage. A meter on the front of the gage indicates the amount of current being used. Testing the switches in such a manner for two hours Is comparable to one year's normal use. The primary purpose of this gage is to bring out any weaknesses in Ford starter switches, showing where improvements and corrections are necessary. It will be installed in the Ford Motor Co. branch at Brooklyn, Mich- igan. ____________________ the Brooklyn Bridge we fell for it The roans were to be $2 a day and 75 cents to park the car. We stayed two and one-half days and the hotel bill was $12.

The fourth day after our arrival we began our trek to Detroit. We had hoped that the Model-A would take us all the way to New York and back but it succumbed to a burned-out motor Just outside Pittsburgh. After gaping in awe at the smoking and smouldering ruin, we grabbed our grips, pushed the Ford off the highway, swal- lowed our pride, and hitch-hiked the rest of the way.

Chet Swierc, of the Heliner Lincolns, N-711-B, toolroom, were the oppos- ing hurlers when the V-8 85’s smothered the ambition of the Lin- colns to become Apprentice School baseball champions. The game was played at Heenan Field on Wednesday, September 11, which was a rather chilly day. The shivering V-8 85's were prob- ably inspired to victory by the sight of the Lincolns in their 39 Jackets. While Knopp pitched hitless ball until the last inning, his team- mates were powdering the offerings of Swierc for four runs and eight hits. The first counter was in the sixth frame when a whizzing double by Captain Ben Pontone scored Zeke Sherinian. A trio of runs was registered when Walter Holody s triple scored Marks, Dunne, and Kondraito. Sport Flashes Practice for the Craftsmen bas- ketball team will begin Tuesday, Oct. 1, in Miller School.

In each case the change has been an advance to- ward a greater future in their chosen life's work. Although the students miss them, they wish them unlimited success in their new ventures. Waste Not, Want Not Food is scarce at the present time in Europe. In many countries people are said to be starving, while in this country food is plen- tiful. However, we should not be wasteful. Seme Trade School students have been throwing their Thrift Garden produce around. To make a practice of this will result in creating a destructive character. This food could also be put to a better use. Thinkers Are Successful With the ending of summer, an- other term of academic training begins. This also marks the starting point for the person who cheats himself. He is the fellow who taps you on the shoulder and whis- pers, Let me see your paper, or ,tWhat's the answer to this one. He may often receive good marks, but he is cheating himself of the ability to do his arm thinking. When this fellow leaves school and seeks a Job he won't be as successful as a person who thinks. Ace Jitterbug in Midst Willingly Goes Into Dance When speaking about Jitterbug- ging and flashy dressing one thinks of George Zilli, senior, George jitterbugging. who works in the tin shop depart- ment. Among his friends he is well known for his Joking ways and fun- loving manner. Asked how often he attends dance halls he said with a twitch in his eye, I live in 'em. Roller skating, pastel drawing, and tinkering with machinery take up much of his spare time. Turning to the serious side, he said, looking with keen interest, I plan to take a course in air conditioning in the near future. King Tomato Formerly Called 'Love Apple’ • Tomatoes, which have proved to be the most popular product of the Trade School Thrift Garden, are native plants o f America. They were grown by the Mexicans before the Spanish con- quest . Until the year 1800, the tomato was supposed to be poisonous. It was formerly called love apple , and grown to beautify gardens. Tomatoes are a long-season crop, the earliest kinds requiring at least 100 days frean the time seeds are sewn until the first fruits are yielded. Since few sections of the country can boast much more than 100 frostless days and nights, and the tomato, a heat-loving plant, Is susceptible to frost, it is necessary to sow the seeds in a hotbed or in a greenhouse in order to have plants ready for the gar- den when the weather becomes warm. Superintendent's Talk Printed Copyrighted and printed recently, along with two other speeches, for members of the American Management Association was a talk given by Supt. F. E.

Instructor’s Room Draped With Book-Covers for Literary Effect To create a literary atmosphere in his room Thcmas Sayres, English instructor, is adorning his black- boards with paper book-covers. I obtained the idea from L. J. Croteau autcmechanics instructor, who started my collection with sit book-covers, said Mr. Sayres, Frcxn then on I have obtained most of my covers from J. J.

The book-covers, mostly fiction have stimulated interest in bet- ter reading, said Mr. Sayres. ramY. OCT. 4, 1940 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Apprentice School Hits New High in Enrollment With 4500 students enrolled, the Ford Apprentice School now has the largest enrollment it has ever had during its 25-year history. W. F. Mueller, of the Apprentice School, said that the increase in enrollment was partly due to the national defense program and the need for skilled men in industry. The Apprentice School, which started in 1915 to help train men to become skilled workmen, will have to train about 1200 men for the Ford Aviation Plant now being built, according to authorities of the school. Available to employees of Ford Motor Co. are academic courses in chemistry, metallurgy, drawing, and shop mathematics as applied to tool, die, and pattern making and drafting. A course in maintenance and repair of hydraulically oper- ated machines is also given. Five hundred students are taking the various five-year engineering courses, available to Apprentice School graduates. Student Dresses in Dark Result: Feet Bring Mirth Boys who dress in the dark are sometimes surprised when the light of day shines on them. John Schmidt, W- D-l, who is a reg- ular dark - rocm- dr esser found this I' to be true Wednes- . day. Sept. 25. When he arrived at school in the morn- ing, a friend called his atten- tion to his foot- t i h wear. Looking at yjj B his feet, he was Jkn B surprised to find a snappy brown dress shoe adorn- ing one foot, while hi8 other foot was enclosed in a dull black work shoe. The story soon made the rounds of fellow students and hearty laughs were had by all. Patrol Boys to Get Badges To make known their authority, Henry Ford Trade School Safety Patrol boys are soon to be given badges. These badges were designed by Frank Naki, senior, who was de- clared the winner of the Safety Badge Contest, held last October. Student’s Philosophy of Life Altered by Year of Inactivity After spending a year at home with infantile paralysis, Peter Sherry, W-C-2, returned recently to the Trade School with a differ- ent outlook on life. I was interested only in good times before my illness, but dur- ing the hours I lay on my back, alone, said Peter, I have con- cluded. that a teacher'8 course in history and social science, in which I am interested, is my aim in life. He thinks history is tops . In a plaster cast fran his shoul- ders to hi8 waist for more than a month, Peter found enjoyment i n listening to football games on the radio, hi8 favorite pastime.

Orn- er should report to Mr. Mueller in Roam 29. _________ Apprentice System Used in Big Rapids High School In a letter received from E. H. Bailey, former shop theory instruc- tor, he explains the function of the school shop of Big Rapids High School, Big Rapids, .Mich, where he is now employed. If there is an opportunity for cm apprenticeship, the placement department of the high school is notified and a boy is selected from the school on the basis of his scholastic record, aptitudes, personality, and background. The student selected is then recom- mended to the employer, and if accepted an agreement is drawn up. The minimum rate for a beginner apprentice is 30 cents an hour. The following trades are avail- able: electrical, machinist, wood pattern, sheet metal, mechanical drafting, carpentry, auto mechan- ics, meat cutting, grocery, and well drilling. The boys work during the day and meet twice a week in the evening for two-hour instruction periods. Plastic Transparency Determined by Gage An hazeameter, recently com- pleted in the Trade School shop, is used in determining the trans- A picture of the Hazcomctcr with the lid opened to show the inside workings. parency of plastics for safety glass. Materials being tested are placed in front of a photronic cell, upon which is focused a 50 candle-power light. When the plas- tic is removed the difference re- corded on a micro-ammeter denotes the amount of light the plastic absorbs or deflects. By such tests engineers in the glass plant of Ford Motor Co., where the hazeemeter is new in op- eration, will endeavor to obtain more suitable plastics. Exhumation of Worms Disappoints Gardeners Results of an experiment to de- termine the nature of the earworm at the Trade School Thrift Garden are now known. High hopes of the gardeners are smashed. The Gardens have tried to find a method to destroy the earworm of corn. If the earworm attacks corn the ear is partly or completely destroyed because the worm eats right into the center of the ear. An experiment was tried as follows: On September 4, six earworm-in- fested com stalks were buried be- fore the worms reached that part of their life cycle where they bury themselves in the ground. Good cheer and high hopes were the order of the day when the stalks were buried. Recently when the grave was opened the supposedly sorrowful spectators gasped as they saw that the grave was full of a small wig- gling mass of worms. It is be- lieved that the original worms may have died but that the eggs hatched while in the ground be- cause there were many more worms in the grave than were put in. PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, OCT. 4, 1940 Horseback Tennis Played by Royalty 800 Years Ago Tennis, one of the oldest ball games known to man, was played on horseback in 1120 A.D. A cane- shaped staff strung with plaited gut was used for a racquet. This form of tennis was played on a court called a court for goff . The game was popular with the royal families of England and France during the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries. The king o f France presented a silver ball to the player who achieved the most notable feats of the year. French Jeu de paume, which is probably the ancestor of the mod- em tennis game, was also played by the Greeks and Remans. King Henry VIII of England built a tennis court at the Hampton Court Palace in London in 1529. This court is still in use today. The game of tennis was intro- duced to the United States by an American woman in the early 1870's While in Bermuda she watched seme British officers playing the game. Obtaining a few racquets and a net she brought the sport to this c ountry. __________ Apprentice School Pin-Spilling Commences With Two Leagues With the Apprentice School In- structors Bowling League in its fourth season, and the Student League beginning its first, the school's bowling activities began recently at Art Center Recreation, Woodward and Warren Avenues. E. F. McAuliffe, Apprentice School instructor, is president of the Instructors League, while the Student League has not as yet elected a president. Wc C. Teeple, Apprentice School instructor, is secretary and treasurer of both leagues. The Student League with 90 mem- bers and the Instructors League with 30 members, both abide by American Bowling Congress rules. The Instructors League has a social set-up in which the wives play against the husbands. Each team is composed of three men and two women, no husband and wife playing on the same team. Dinner Given for Legion Nine In addition to a banquet, the Ford Motor C o. Post American Legion baseball team was given a dinner recently in the American Legion Heme at Cass and Lafayette Avenues. Among notables who at- tended were Bing Miller, Fred Hutchinson, Frank Croucher, and Paul Dizzy Trout, of the league- champion Tigers._____ Instructor to Take Civil Service Job as Designer Stephen Pogarch, mill instructor, left the Trade School laBt Friday preparatory to accepting a civil service position with the United States Government at Rock Island, Illinois, as a tool and gage de- signer. After being grad- uated from the Trade School i n January '33, Mr. Pogarch studied at Detroit College of Applied Science during evenings. During the day he was employed b y Ford Motor C o. Mr. Pogarch For the past year and a half he has been an instruc- tor In the Trade School. Mr. Pogarch said that his shop instructing experience proved a great help to him when he wrote for the civil service position. He is now on a vacation and will report for duty in Rock Island about Nov. 1. Norman Kegler, Trade School alum- nus '31 has replaced Mr. Pogarch in the shop. Harvard University introduced the game of football to the other colleges in this country, being the first to play it. Pictures Taken of Trade School (Continued from page l) These pictures are of various activities throughout the school such as: students In the cafeteria, library, receiving scholarship, running lathes, mills, shapers, and grinders; and the Glee Club. Mr. Lablonde said he considered the Trade School a great institu- tion. One sees boys that look as though they Just got out of grade school running machines that one would expect to see a skilled man using, and handling them skil- fully, said Mr. Lablonde. Dick Sullivan, of the Ford Motor Co. photographic department, as- sisted by 0. R. Scott, chemistry instructor, took the pictures. Hardwood Artists Prophesy Success Six years ago when basketball was first organized in the Trade School, hopes for victory were Left to right: George Crist, George Beaver, Tom Harrington, and Bud Cushing, rather slim, but now confidence has replaced uncertainty. According to four of the return- ing varsity players, the 1940-41 team will be a great success. Thomas Harrington, senior, pre- dicts that the team will be supe- rior to last year's, especially in the beginning of the season. Toe played 42 quarters last season and was high scorer with 86 points, George Beaver, senior, stated that since most of the veterans are returning, the team is apt to win their share of games. George accounted for 23 points in 30 quar- ters played last season. ,rWe'll win every game this sea- son, said George Crist, senior, It's a good team, in fact one of the best. Last season George, played 17 quarters and scored 11 point 8. Bud Cushing, senior, who scored 20 points in 20 quarters last year said, Our chance this year is bet- ter than it has been in the past. John Shingle ton and Francis DeGrande, seniors, are also re- turning. For their work on the team these six varsity cagers were awarded gold medals at the athletic ban- quet last April. Hark, Basketball Enthusiasts! Boys who have been or would li to bee cme cheerleaders for Crafts- men basketball games are requested by John Dobrei, English instructor to report to him in Roan 6 before 4:05 p.m. next Monday or Tuesday.

Searle delivered yesterday at the semi- annual meeting of the American Society of Tool Engineers, which was held in the Gibson Hotel, Cin- cinnati, Ohio. Subject of the convention at which Mr. Searle was the first speaker was Should Industry As- sume the Burden of Special Educa- tion . On Nov. 2 Mr. Searle will give another address at the fall meet- ing of the Teachers of Mathematics of New England. This organization is composed of faculty members from several eastern colleges in- cluding Yale University and Dart- moth College. His address will deal with the work done in the Ford Schools. This meeting will be held at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadely, Mass. Camp Legion Stresses Self-Government Plan More ideas to help the youth of America get started in life are greatly needed in this country at the present time, declared Myron Mike Heath, boy-superintendent of Camp Legion, in an interview in the barn of the Camp recently. Camp Legion was opened last spring after the frost had left the ground with 65 needy boys from Detroit and suburbs. This is the third year the Camp has been in operation. Each boy will receive a bonus of approximately $175, which the Camp has earned by selling their produce, stated Mike, with his hands plunged deeply into his pants pockets. To build character and to train boys in self-raliance and co-oper- ative effort is the purpose of the Camp which is self-governing. Mike is planning to work as a draftsman in Ford Motor Co. after the Camp closes. Next September be plans to attend Michigan State College to take a course in archi- tectural landscaping. Program for the Alumni Banquet, according to the committee, will feature Xzquest Swozxt, and his Piavre Orextheras. Unqainrexzt Pi, the Iqupthg, will also appear. Ray Hollander, of the Apprentice School, is arranging entertainment and is keeping details secret. Steak Fry Planned for The Craftsman Staff By popular request of former members of The Craftsman staff, the second annual Craftsman steak fry has been planned for Saturday, Nov. 2, at Cass Benton Park, near Northville. The Saturday program will con- sist of an Armst rong-Stoelting- style steak dinner with trimmings, a treasure hunt, baseball games, and arguments on who wrote the best story for the paper. Present and former . members of the staff are requested to make reservations before Friday, Nov. 1, in Roan 39, where a charge of 50 cents will be collected. The treasure hunt will be super- vised by 0.R. Rothbone, of the bookstore. Coach V. F. Richards will supervise the games. Events will start at 1 p.m. For more abundant harvests, a program for enriching the soil at the Henry Ford Trade School Thrift Garden is now under way. This plan calls for the sawing of rye each fall. The next spring, when it is to be plowed under, the rye will add much needed organic matter to the soil. This fall twelve acres of rye have been sown. Ten o f these acres will be used for next year 8 potato field. Another part of this program calls for the planting of soy beans on all the sections of the garden harvested before Aug. 1. The beans are to be plowed under each year before the killing frost. Beans add nitrogen to the soil. Morning Service Group Celebrates Anniversary Celebrating their fourth anniver- sary the Morning Services held a special program at 7 a.m., Wednes- day, Oct. 9, at which Rev. John Zoller, founder of the America Back to God movement, was the principal speaker. Rev. Zoller is modern in his mode of travel, having learned to fly an airplane which he uses to keep appointments in other cities. Speakers included Supt. F. E. Searle, Evangelist Davis Martin, and E. D. Brown, of Ford Motor Co. employment department. Louis Larkcr, senior, plows under soy beans in the Garden's soil rebuilding program.

Over this span of years approxi- mately 8000 students have been graduated. Most of them who took proper advantage of their training are in demand today. One often hears a parent say to a student, I wish my son could re- ceive the training you are getting. Hearing these words makes one realize what a great chance he is receiving at the school. State Proposal No. 3 A wolf in sheep’s clothing or better service to bus passengers. These are the views regarding State Proposal No. 3. The Detroit Street Railways advocates a No” vote. According to them, they can make enough money outside the city limits to maintain low rates. The Proposal would deny the D.S.R. the right to operate more than two miles beyond the city lim- its without a Michigan Public Ser- vice Commission permit. Eastern Michigan Motorbuses Inc., on the other hand, indorses a Yes vote. They say the D.S.R. should better Detroit ser- vice before branch- ing out into neighboring towns. Airplane Crash Injures Student When an airplane in which he was a passenger crashed at Burns Field, near Plymouth Road, Labor Day, Robert 0'Grady, senior, suffered a broken vertebra. He is still in the hospital. Wanderlust Intermingled With Senior’s Passiveness Having a yen for adventure seems to stand out in the quiet, studi- ous personality of Lloyd Rumpel, senior, who types for C.G. Rogers, English instructor. Lloyd at work on his typewriter. When only 14 years old he es- caped disaster at the mercy of quicksand while fishing in a canal near Elizabeth Lake. Thinking that the fish would bite near shore he beached the boat, climbed out, and sank to his hips in quick- sand. Grabbing onto the side of the boat, he slowly pulled himself out of the treacherous mud. Besides reading adventure stories, travelling, and making articles of wood, Lloyd attends evening school and plans to study Diesel engineering. I like to dance but I don't Jitterbug, sums up his opinion on that subject. Mercury Rangers Featured at Morning Singing Period Making their first appearance at the Trade School as a supplement to the Thursday Morning Singing Period, Oct. 10, was a quartet of cowboys who are called the Mer- cury Rangers . A Contraption , consisting of a wash board with attachments, was a featured instrument of the cowboys, who came through the courtesy of Ford Motor,Co. The group is akin to the Ford Little Dutch Band and the Dixie Eight. It is composed of Ford employees who formed the group a year ago and now go about the city singing for various organizations.

THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE FRIDAY, OCT. 18, 1940_______________ Man Who Appreciates His Citizenship Visits School Through the Trade School last Monday walked an American. His name Is Salem Rizk, a Syrian- born American, who was cared for by his grandmother until he was seven years old. ”1 took to the hills after my gran d mother died, said Mr. Rizk, and for years lived like a n animal o n plants, roots, bird-eggs, o r little birds, which I ate raw.' After the first World War Photo through courtesy of he USed to go The Central Student. around the schools listening to the other children In hopes of picking up a bit of learning. He had no money to pay for the tui- tion, which was ten cents a month. When the schoolmaster saw how eager he was to learn, he offered to teach him free. When he was 13 years old he found out that he had.two brothers living in America and that he too was an American. He came to this country, made his heme, learned the language, and now is touring the country telling his story to men, women, and children every- where. Readers' Digest is spon- soring his tour. After his visit to the school Mr. Rizk said, It's overwhelming to see boys working with their hands and at the same time showing such an interest in their work. Success is the harvest made pos- sible by proper sowing. Stories of School in Another year has rolled around and again the time approaches for the Alumni Banquet. The o 1 d- tlmers have started to reminisce. 0. A. Roberts, grinder gage in- structor, remembers when Lawrence Sari the little Filipino, took his first ice skating lesson. I wrence had Just ccme to Detroit from the Philipine Islands and had never seen snow or ice before. R. E. Bell, civics instructor, recalls Paul Eberle, '23, the boy who used to hang around a field across Woodward Avenue from the school. In this field a man had a few old army airplanes. After Paul left the Trade School he found a Job with this man. He Correction In the story„ Apprentice School Hits New High i n Enrollment , which appeared in the Friday, Oct. 4, issue of The Craftsman, the electrical courses and auto mechan- ics class were omitted from the list of courses available in the Apprentice School to employees of Ford Motor Co. About 1200 of the 4500 students enrolled in the school attend the electrical classes. The electri- cal department has six instruct- ors who have had college training, and sane who have degrees. In addition to the three-year electrical courses, the school is offering a five-year electrical engineering course. The auto mechanics class is open to Training School students only. Instructor Amateur Landscape Gardeners Capture First Prizes First prizes were recently awarded to three Trade School in- structors by the Dearborn High- lands Civic Association in a heme landscaping contest. Silver star narcissus bulbs, the prizes, were presented to W. H. Moore, of the transfer crib, 0. R. Scott, chemistry instructor, and C. R. Weems, English instructor. Each contestant's house and grounds were compared with others in its subdivision who entered the contest, and with those who had been in the section for the same number of years. The gardens were Judged from gen- eral summer appearance, winter ef- fects, foundation plantings, flow- ers, lawns, and improvements. A story, picture, and blueprints, of Mr. Weems' heme was published in the Fall and Winter 1940 Build- ing Manual of the House Beauti- ful magazine. 'Old Days’ Recalled kept up his hobby and now sits at a desk with a vice-president sign on it. He holds that posi- tion with the Baker and Eberle Aircraft Corp. If you were graduated in '24 you might remember W. R. Mott, the boy who got a bath in the middle o f winter. I t happened during a soccer 'game on the ice at Ford Field. He was running backwards blocking one of his opponents when, splash, he fell into a hole in the ice. Many more such stories are to be heard at the Alumni Banquet, Oct. 26. Tickets may be obtained from committee members, alumni instruc- tors, or apprentice foremen. Shaper Born When Its Need was Great It was back in the days of pow- dered wigs and tight breeches--to Shaper of i860 be more exact, the closing years of the eighteenth century--when the first practical shaper was bom. Marc Brunei, an inventor, built and designed the first shaping machine. It was an enormous af- fair, but it did the prescribed work. A number of blocks of wood or metal were chucked between two large circular frames. As the wheel revolved a tool bit chipped stock off the side of the blocks, In a manner comparable to facing on a lathe. James Nasmyth, a tool manufact- urer, invented a shaper in 1836 which was long known as Nasmyth's Steel Arm and was the forerunner of the modem shaper. The Gould and Eberhardt Co., a leading shaper manufacturer, has built 25,000 of these machines during the past 88 years. Madrid’s Fall Gave Birth to Name of Deadly ’Fifth Column’ Deadly propaganda, conspiracy, sabotage, and espionage are the weapons used in the activities of the Fifth Columnist. The term Fifth Column origi- nated during the recent Spanish Civil War when General Mola an- nounced over the radio that he had four military columns marching on Madrid besides a fifth column al- ready Inside the city. To weaken one's thought in the moral8 and faith of his country Is the main objective o f this organization. Mr. Rizk PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, OCT. 18, 194Q Past and Present Teams Compared Seeing it was the time o f the year when old-timers get together at their annual Alumni Banquet, it was fitting when C. C. Crawford, former athletic director, came to the school last Monday and began recalling some of the old-time Coach V. F. Richards (left) chats with C. C. Crawford, former coach, sports activity of the Trade School. Scans of the first opposing bas- ketball teams were Oxford, St. Joseph's Commercial College, and the Deaf Mutes of Flint, the lat- ter being the toughest to defeat. The opponents of the present cag- ers are high schools of Detroit and vicinity. Bert Mar8chand, captain of the first team, and John Cragg, al- though short in stature, were con- sidered the best players. Mr. Crawford believes that height is of no particular advantage in bas- ketball, except in tip-off plays, whereas V. F. Richards, present coach, believes that a small boy makes the best player to begin with, but taller boys make better players in the long run. Co-cap- tains George Beaver and John Shin- gleton, of the present team, help back Mr. Richards belief. There were 125 students who tried out for the first team. Twelve of these were chosen as reg- ulars as compared to the present roster of ten. The Henry Ford School's gym in Highland Park was the site of home games. The first team won eight and lost four games in 1927. My greatest thrill, said Mr. Crawford, was the time we beat Ox- ford in their own gym. The Oxford gym was small and to make matters worse they had two stationary poles on the playing floor. They were used to playing on their gym and thus had the advantage. By using half of our practicing gym and by stationing two boys approx- imately where the two poles would be, we practiced until we got around fairly well and then went over to their gym and beat them. Season Records Established Last Week in Senior Bowling Pat Ramanelli, captain of team No. 9, established a new season individual high record for three games when he cleaned the alleys with a 554 series last Saturday. Herald Mahrle placed second with 548. Teams 3 and 4f captained by Jack Hendrickson and George Bell, re- spectively, are deadlocked for first place in team high single games, each toppling the pins for an 860 series. Team No. 6 rolled three consec- cutive games of 703. Boys Club to Be Basketball Site All boys who are interested in trying out for the Craftsmen bas- ketball team should report to- morrow to the Detroit Boys Club, Livernois south of Michigan Ave. Practice will last from 3 to 5 p .m. Horse Eats His Corn; Father Time Escapes A Tennessee horse nearly stopped Father Time. A present of a seven-Jewel pock- et watch arrived for C. R. Weems, English instructor, when he was 13 years old at the Tennessee farm of his father. Little did his uncle, who sent him the present all the way frcm the state of Washington, realize what country boys some- times do when they want to play. One winter day Mr. Weems went to play with a neighbor boy, and it was decided that they would rcanp among the rafters in the bam. So he wouldn't lose his watch, he carefully placed iV in an empty horse trough. He returned to find his watch missing. A horse was nonchalantly munching com from the trough. Before he had time to raise the yowl, characteristic of youth, the man who had fed the horse laid the watch into his hands. Mr. Weems still carries the watch. Polecats Beat Aces in First Cage Tilt With the W-B-l Polecats swamping the W-D-2 Aces 27-12, the Senior Chuck Nunez (left) and Al Assad leap for rhe hall in the opening tip-off of the first intramu- ral game Intramural Basketball League got under way last Tuesday at the McDonald School. Frcm the opening tip-off to the final whistle the game was fast and furious. Al Lorente, of the Polecats, scored the first point of the season with a foul shot.; The Polecats then opened up toj bring the count to 11-0 at the first quarter. The Ace8 broke into the scoring column in the second stanza when Al Assad sank a shot from the side- line. Scoring in this period was even. The score at half was 19-7.f Both teams tightened defensively in the third quarter. Scodellaro, of the Polecats, scored the only, i field goal. • J The Aces struggled desperately’ i in the last period, but to no; avail. The Polecats were too i ahead.

Beginning of Annual Alumni Reunion Celebration A section of tables of smiling alumni at their annual banquet and reunion just before the dinner was served. Amidst Singing and Reminiscing of 725 Alumni, 24th Anniversary of School is Celebrated in Big Way With approximately 725 alumni and faculty members singing such songs as My Wild Irish Rose , Let Me Call You Sweetheart , and God Bless America the Henry Ford Trade School Alumni Banquet, celebrating the 24th anniversary of the school, got under way at the Masonic Temple, last Saturday night. In his address the Rev. Dr. M. S. Camera Lost on Bob-Lo Boat Returned to Owner by Ad It pays to advertise. The $25 Uhivex camera which was found on the 6 p.m. boat returning from the annual Trade School Bob- Lo Picnic last June by W. F. Muel- ler, of the Apprentice School, was returned to its owner, Charles Buttigieg, '34, last Wednesday. Seeking a clue to its ownership 0. R. Scott, chemistry instructor, developed the film. A print of a smiling girl was published in the Oct, 4 issue of The Craftsman where it came to the attention of her boy friend, the camera's owner. Rice pointed out that most of the leading industrial employers began their careers as bench workmen, No finer figure has risen in the industrial field in America than Henry Ford, said Dr. Rice, pointing to a 3 X 5 foot portrait of Henry Ford which was near the speakers platform. In conclusi cm he added that a school in the midst of a factory is the best spot in the world for industrial training. Supt. F. E. Searle announced to the alumni that the last Saturday of each October is to be reserved as Alumni Night. Next year the party will be celebrated on Oct, 25—the 25th anniversary of the school's founding.

This latter type of driver is the one who, some day, will be the cause of people being put in a hospital or cemetery. Police and safety campaigns have done their best to make residential districts safe, yet some drivers disregard stop signs, speed limits, and other or- dinances completely. Trade School students should set the example for both young and old drivers since they are s o closely con- nected with the manufacturing of automobiles. Give a Little Extra With the various war-relief char- ities now going around, the Commun- ity Fund is apt to be slighted. Trade School students have given generously in the past to this fund but this year are tried even harder than before. They have the feeling that they should rob Peter to pay Paul ; choose between the charities and contribute all to that one.

Wolfe’s Text at Engineers’ Graduation I don't feel nearly as embar- rassed this evening as Mr. Smith did when he invited his big boss h me for dinner. He stated to his wife in the presence of his little daughter, I am bringing heme one of the big fish at the office for dinner this evening, so be sure that you have a nice dinner. While dinner was in progress, his little daughter remarked, Why baddy, this is meat. Daddy said, Ye3, what of it? Why, I thought you said you were going to bring heme a big fish for dinner. I feel quite the reverse, for with the 8plendid cooperation of the faculty and their able assist- ance in bringing this class through, I feel as delighted as the goose that laid the golden egg, for this group of graduate engi- neers is a golden egg in anybody's organization. You boys have the proper practical and theoretical training which is very valuable to both you and the organization in which you work. It is a two-fold pleasure for me to stand before you this evening to make a few remarks in regard to the Ford Engineering School. First of all, because you are the second real group of mechanical engineers to graduate from the Ford Engineer- 7 ui Pages three and four of this issue are devoted to the text of the speech given by J. H. Wolfe, supervisor of the Ford Appren- tice School and the Ford Engi- neering School, at a dinner- dance held at Dearborn Inn, Oct. 12. This celebration was held to honor 18 mechanical engineers who had Just been graduated frem the Ford Engineering School. A brief history of the Ford Apprentice School was included in his talk. ing School, the first group having graduated in 1937. Secondly, be- cause this is the silver anniver- sary year of the Ford Apprentice School of which you are all grad- uates . Before I get too involved, I wish to congratulate each one of you for your wonderful achievement. It is easy to gain an education attending day college, providing you have the proper facilities to function with, when all your ef- forts and studies are within an eight hour a day schedule; but you boys have accomplished your educa- tion the hard way. After working eight hour8 a day in the plant, you were confronted with another three to four hours of hard study. This is without doubt the hardest possible way for anybody to gain an education. For that reason you boys should be highly complimented. I also know that while you boys were busy studying your lessons, your wives or sweethearts were sadly neglected, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their patience and help- fulness in making it possible for you to graduate here this evening. The Ford Engineering School dif- fers considerably from a number of other engineering schools con- nected with industry. For example, the requirements for entering seme of these outside schools are that he be an engineer graduate from college, to begin with. He is then given from two to three years of additional technical training and at the c cmplet ion of this training, the student is awarded a post graduate certificate in e n- gineering. The students in the Ford Engineering School start with practically no engineering experi- ence whatever. One of the prerequisites in this school is that the applicant be a Ford Apprentice School graduate, which consists of forty months of practical shop experience and three years of technical training. Eighty-five per cent of the stu- dents i n the Ford Apprentice School are supplied by Henry Ford Trade School and by Ford Industri- al Training School for High School Graduates, thus meaning that the Trade School boy has an additional three to four years of technical and practical training over that PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN SUPPLEMENT FRIDAY, NOV. 1, 1940 An Engineering Graduate Receives His Diploma Chester G. Vcnditcy, a member of the mechanical engineering graduates, receiving his diploma and congratulations from J. H. Wolfe, supervisor of Ford Engineering and Apprentice Schools. of the other students. The duration of the Ford Engl- neering course is from five to seven years, depending upon the progress of the student. The prac- tical experience gained by our en- gineers is not only that experi- ence which they gather while at- tending the engineering school but it is the combined experience gained while attending both the Ap- prentice and Engineering Schools. The total practical experience gained in these two schools is ap- proximately from nine to ten years. If the engineer graduate is frem Henry Ford Trade School, he has ac- cumulated upon graduating from the Ford Engineering School approxi- mately 14 years of shop and techni- cal training. Our records show that some of the engineering students who have left the Ford organization and who have not yet finished our engineer- ing course are working in outside organizations as full-fledged en- gineers. At this time I would like to give you a little history of the Ford Apprentice and Engineering Schools to explain a few reasons why the progress of the Engineer- ing School has been retarded. I would also like to bring out a few facts to the undergraduates to show that education is the road to success. The Ford Apprentice School was organized in Highland Park in the year of 1915 with a handful of stu- dents. After the school had been in progress about five years with a student body of approximately 1500, and a faculty consisting of 16 mathematics and drawing instruc- tors, the school was temporarily in Highland Park began to move men and machinery in large quantities over to Dearborn. During this period early in 1927, the Ford Engineering School was organized for the purpose of giv- ing the students a more advanced training and there by fitting them for better positions in the Ford organization. During the process of moving, many of the regular and engineering students left the can- pany. This was the second draw- back which directly affected the progress of the Engineering School. The third drawback and the worst of them all happened in the years of 1930 and 1931 when almost 80 per cent of the Journeymen, appren- tices, and engineering students were laid off due to the great de- pression which hit the entire coun- try. By the year 1932, the number of apprentices fell from 2000 bona fide apprentices to 100, and less than 100 graduate apprentices were still working in the tool and die roans of Ford Motor Co. As you will remember, this depression lasted for several years, making Superintendent Searle Addressing the Grads discontinued. This happened early in the year of 1921 when almost 100 per cent of the men and appren F. E. Scarlc, Superintendent of Ford Schools, welcoming the mechanical engineering graduates of the Ford Engineering School. tices working in the tool and die roans were laid off. When the working conditions began to pick up and Ford Motor Co. started to rehire, many of the old time ap- prentices who were formerly with the company were not available for they had found Jobs elsewhere. The Apprentice School as near as I can remember was re-organized in 1922, starting out the second time with only 35 students. You can see from this reduced number that we lost a lot of students who would probably have been good ma- terial for our engineering courses. This was the first drawback to hinder the formati cm of the Engi- neering School. Starting with the year 1922, the Ford Apprentice School continued at a normal rate of progress until 1928 and 1929 when the Ford Plant it possible for the better stu- dents and graduate students to re- establish themselves in other tool and die roans throughout the coun- try, not connected with Ford Motor Co. These three drawbacks together with the fact that it takes from five to seven years to complete the engineering courses, hindered the progress of the Ford Engineer- ing School tremendously, and for that reason the group here this evening is only the second to grad- uate from the Ford Engineering School. When conditions throughout the country began to improve, and Ford Motor Co. started to rehire, I was in a position to interview a great number of the apprentices and grad- uate apprentices who were seeking re-employment in Ford Motor Co. , rPTDAY. NOV« 1; 1940 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE FIVE First Mies were Crude and Inaccurate Tools During the early 70 8, before the first practical micrometer was introduced, ring gages and cali- pers were used to measure cylin- drical work. The principle of the mic, hew- ever, was U3ed in 1637 by William Gascoigne. His idea was to move two parallel edges or pointers back and forth by means of a screw provided with a divided head. S. R. Wilmot, manufacturer, de- vised a crude mic and had six of them made. These were not practi- cal to read however. Another mic was made by J. L. Palmer, a Frenchman. It was bet- ter than Wilmot's but i t too needed improving. J. R. Brown and Lucian Sharpe took the best features of the two earlier mics and in 1867 made their first Pocket Sheet Metal Gage . It was the great-grand- father of our modern micrometer. Out-of-School Fun Clubs Organized by Ai, W-C-l Clubs for out-of-school compan- ionship are being organized b y students in the W-C-l and M-C-l classes. Tan Sayres, English instructor, who has been chosen adviser of the clubs said, Their organization of these clubs was in answer to the request of some of my students for activities to compensate for those had by high school students which are the only envy of Trade School boys, The club organized by the W-C-l class has elected Remo Vielmo as chairman, upon whose suggestion the movement started, and James Werner, secretary-treasurer. A howling party to be held at Dear- born Recreation, Nov. 5, is the first social function planned by this club. The M-C-l club elected Dan Chil- 8on, chairman, Gus Schmidt, secre- tary-treasurer, and Ernest Murdock, business manager. This club ex- pects to have a roller skating Party as its first social activity. Pheasants Find Shelter at Trade School Garden Taking refuge fran the hunters' barking guns, an average of 12 pheasants are finding sanctuary in the high weeds at the north end of Henry Ford Trade School Garden. Pheasants were originally con- fined to Asia and take their name from the River Phasis, near which they were found in large numbers. True pheasants are beautiful birds. The lovely male Argus Pheasants of Malacca and Siam seme- times measure six feet fran the beak to the tail. There are many pheasant species, but the Ring-necked, Mongolian, Golden, and English are the best known. They feed upon insects, grain, and seeds. There are usually several fe- males and one male in each flock. The nest is rudely formed on the ground where 11 or 12 olive-brown eggs are laid. J. H. Wolfe’s Talk (Continued fran page 4) One of the things I particularly noted was that the students who received high ratings during their training period in both shop and class work did not seek re-employ- ment with Ford Motor Co. They ev- idently had sufficient background to gain employment elsewhere, even during the depression. Most of my Interviews were with the poorer type students, which indicated to me that the students with the bet- ter knowledge were able to hold their cwn on the outside. This is a proof to me in the most satisfac- tory form that the man with the right type of education, both prac- tical and theoretical, is bound to be successful, and you cannot hold him down, even with a depression. A second proof of the importance of education is brought out in our Engineering School. When we first started the Engineering classes back in the year 1927, it was our plan to submit the names of the engineering graduates to all the superintendents throughout the plant, telling them of their quali- fications, but we found that mo3t of the students who have been on the engineering course for a peri- od of three years or more advanced on their own accord and ability, thus again proving that the man with the proper education cannot be held down. Many of the engin- eering graduates in this class have risen to higher positions without having the school to inter- cede for them. In sane cases, the school was used merely to check up on their past record.

Two are working on body designing at the Dearborn Engineering Labora- tories; one is in the chassis de- signing engineering department at Dearborn; two are machine foremen in the new Tool and Die Rocm; one is in the rubber plant laboratory; one is shift superintendent in the Trade School shop; five are work- ing in the tool and designing de- partment in the drafting room; one is an instructor in the Apprentice School; one is an instructor in Henry Ford Trade School; and five are still working as Journeymen in the new Tool and Die Building. I think this speaks very well for this graduating engineering class, and I am sure that your -vork in the plant will be such as to reflect nothing but the bright- est credit on the school where you have trained. Again I want to congratulate you upon your wonderful accaiqjlish- lent and on behalf of the faculty, wish to extend their best wishes ’or your future success. I thank you.

There are more than 8000 trips made to the drinking fountains every day. Fig- ure it out for yourself. Approxi- mately 1770' students and 300 in- structors equal about 2000 persons. Each person averages three or four drinks a day. Therefore, 2000 mul- tiplied by four gives the approxi- mate number. Stationed convenient- ly about the school are 23 foun- tains. It is a comparatively easy task to procure this cooling liq- uid.

Student Hopes to Become Professional Soccer Star To follow in his dad's footsteps as a star soccer player is the am- bition of Jimmy Welsh, W-E-3. Ac- cording to veter- ans, he is already showing ability as an amateur in the Thistle B club. He has been prac- ticing for more than a year and has been a regular half - back for three weeks. The team plays every Sunday. I'm in bed at night, declared Jimmy, as part of my constant training for soccer. This also helps in boxing, another of my hobbies. By studying the players and know- ing them, he got a chance to play on a young men's team to prepare for later competition. The team usually plays in Detroit public fields, under the direction of Thomas Anderson, a former profes- sional soccer player. Jimmy 9 o'clock every fle Itcuui ul Thanksgiving Day in the United States was originally set aside to give thanks for food and good health. This idea is changing. In these troubled times the Amer- ican people give thanks for the At- lantic and Pacific Oceans. They are thankful that fathers, broth- ers, son3, or they themselves are not bombing and killing, or being killed. They have freedom o f speech and press and the right to congregate and worship as they please, and above all to choose the men they want to govern them. Of all Thanksgiving Days since the first we have most to be thankful for this year. We are in America 6 School Gives $1445 to Fund Contributions from Trade School students and instructors for this year's Detroit Community Fund to- taled $1444.97, which is an in- crease of $128.89 over last year's amount.

Throughout the years, studente have drifted away from the school—seme being em- ployed by Ford Motor Co., some working in other factories, and some going to college. When a student leaves, an inter- est in activities remains always in hi8 heart and when the school is mentioned, the spark is kindled into a fire. Gathering at the banquet tends to create better understanding and friendlier feeling among graduates, instructors, and students. News Praises Chorus Where There’s a Will . . . One man who is never at a loss for an expedient is William Pura- hum, lathe maintenance instructor. He is as fond of bowljng as he is of boating, but his boating e- quipment was, until recently, less complete than his bowling. The boat had no anchor. After tapping a hole and insert- ing an eye bolt his bowling ball made a first-class anchor. tyniAaop, Nov. 22 If a Party You Would Attend Take the Hints We Extend Be sure to always be present When invited to a party, Don't ever get there too early And also don't you be tardy.

I was brought up to be- lieve that America is a country, where money and opportunities are lying about waiting for people to pick them up. There are opportuni; ties but one has to work for then. I plan to graduate from Cass Technical High School in January, he said with a definite tone of sincerity, and it is my ambiticc to enter medical college. Jack's hobbles are photography and dancing but he sheepishly disj closed that he was not a good dan- cer. Skiing is his favorite outdoor sport. He recalls times when he has skied as much as 20 miles in 8 single day. Jack is not homesick for Italy? but he hopes that he will be able to visit his Alpine home in north- ern Italy again. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 1940 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE THREE Future Mechanics for Aircraft Building View of the third floor lathe department where mechanics arc being trained for the new aircraft building. Ford Schools to Train Mechanics, Navy Recruits for National Defense Training of the 3000 mechanics for the Ford Aircraft building and the 1000 Navy recruits, to be sta- tioned on Ford Motor Co. property, will be under the supervision of the Ford Schools. Naval reserve students will receive both practical and theoret- ical training. Each group of re- serves will stay with Ford Motor Co. two months. They will get their machine experience in vari- ous departments of the Ford facto- ry where they will be under the supervision of apprentice foremen. The school's plans are to have the naval students work a six-hour shift and spend two more hours each day in class in the Appren- tice School. They will meet in class during periods when Appren- tice classes ordinarily are not in session. It is believed that the Navy stu- dents will arrive in about a month. Students for mechanical posi- tions in the Aircraft building are already in training on the day and afternoon shifts in the Training School and on the afternoon shift in the Trade School shop. They are all high school graduates. Their machine training for the first three months is under the supervision of the Trade School shop. The Training School has doubled its capacity from 200 to 400 students and the Trade School has added 200 to its afternoon shift. To take care of these stu- dents 40 instructors have been added to the faculty. After the students have been in the school three months, they are to be transferred to various de- partments of the Ford factory where they will be under the super- vision of apprentice foremen. Classes in mechanical drawing and shop mathematics are attended b y these students after their eight-hour shift. Former Soldiers Stirred to Reminisce on Nov. 11 Memories of over-seas experi- ences were brought to life by Trade School instructors Nov. 11, the anniversary of Armistice Day. To most people it was a day of parades, flags, and uniforms, but to the soldiers of World War I, it was a day for reminiscing. Nov. 11, 1917, found L. H. Bar- tholomew, physics instructor, lying in a meadow near Sedan, France, watching shells explode overhead in the biggest seige Ger- many ever launched in that sector. In Fruges, France was W. E. Coop- er, trolley instructor, with no place to celebrate and nothing to celebrate with. Lying at the edge of the Lyles and Scheldt Rivers, in east Fland- ers, waiting for a signal to cross, was A. R. Gasser, bookstore. L. A. Spalding, wood pattern in- structor, was celebrating in Paris. A. E. Kimber, precision tool in- structor, was in Nukura, Kenya, Af- rica, celebrating. Buy the Next Craftsman; Give Some Kid a Break Five-hundred dollars i s the amount The Craftsman staff plans to raise this year as proceeds for the Old Newsboys Goodfellow Fund by selling the next issue of The Craftsman to Trade School and Ap- prentice School students and in- structors. The Craftsman will be sold to Trade School students and instruc- tors Friday, Dec. 13 and to stu- dents and instructors of the Ap- prentice School during the week of Dec. 10-17. Alumnus Donates Fee for Alumni Banquet Program Expenses for the greater portion of the professional entertainment at the Alumni Banquet held last month to celebrate the 24th anni- versary of Henry Ford Trade School were paid for by John Lutz, Trade School alumnus. The entertainment featured or- chestral music, vocal solos, duets and quartets, accordion speciali- ties, trick bicycle riding, danc- ing, and novelties. Many said it was the best stage per- formance they had seen in years. It cost nearly $500. Mr. Lutz was graduated from the Trade School i n June, 1922. Dur- ing the depression he founded the Pre- cise Tool Manu- Mr. Lutz facturing Co. of Farmington, Mich. The company has 15,000 square feet of floor space and employs 80 men. General and assistant managers are Trade School graduates. If a man can build a better mouse trap than his neighbor, even though he live in a trackless for- est the world will make a beaten path to his door, seems to be Mr. Lutz' philosophy. Neither his nor the company's name is on the front of the building. He says one can always find him if he really wants to. He maintains that a Job well done serves as an advertisement. Mr. Lutz maintains an apprentice school in which 60 of his employ- ees are enrolled. Band Plays for Homemakers Henry Ford Trade School Band pre- sented a musical prelude at the Homemakers Conference last week Tuesday in the Auditorium Studio of WWJ—The Detroit News0 FAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN WEDNESDAY, NCV. 20, 194 Heavy-Duty Lathe Installed in Shop To the 110 lathes in the Trade School shop, there has been added The streamline heavy - duty Pacemaker ready for action. recently a new 18 X 30 inch Ameri- can Pacemaker for use in the third floor lathe department. The 7200 pound Pacemaker, stream- lined in construction, has a new type gear shift similar to that of an automobile's gear shift, which can change the speed of the ma- chine 18 times from 20-1200 revo- lutions per minute. A multiple disc clutch transmits the power from the gears to the Cam Lock flanged spindle. Due to its design and weight the machine is one of the most power- ful lathes in the 3hop. Its deadstock and tailstock spindles are the largest of any lathe in the school shop. Most lathes are driven with a five horse-power motor or less, thi3 machine is driven with a seven and one-half horse-power motor. Be- cause of these features it will handle the heaviest and toughest metals in the shop. Library Receives Shipment of 450 Replacement Books A replacement of 400 fiction and 50 history books was received re- cently by the Trade School library. Love, adventure, and action seem to be uppermost in the minds of the students, for of the 7300 books in the library the most sought-after books are the ones on those subjects. The demand” authors are; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Howard Pease, Jack London, and Zane Grey Auto Mechanics Club Reorganized Due to renewed interest in the Auto Mechanics Club, which has been reorganized, a drive for new members is now on. Those who wish to Join the club should see L. J. Croteau, auto mechanics instructor, in Room 7. Hey Bov! Where Do You Store All That? Trade School students drink vi- tamin D at the rate of about 800 bottles of milk to help wash down 750 pies and half as many sa n d- wiches during a two-week period in the summer, state the operators of the lunch wagons at Gate 4. During mid-3ammer, when the sun beats down upon this earth all day long, 4000 chocolate-covered ice cream sticks are sold, and 1000 candy bars are eaten in two weeks. The 0'Henry bar Is the most popu- lar pf the confections. Averaging approximately 10 cents weekly a boy, the lunch wagons collect about $14 an hour from Trade School students before and .after school. Every other Friday is the most profitable day, say the operators. Sherlock Holmes-Watson Among the most sought-after books in the Trade School library are the Sherlock Holmes series. These works were written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who was a medi- ocre doctor for many years before he took to writing as a career. The eagle face and eerie 'way of deductive diagnoses of Joseph Bell, a former teacher, seemed a perfect pattern for Sir Arthur's puppet The surname was borrowed from his favorite author, Oliver Wendel Holmes and Sherlock wa3 taken from an opponent wham Sir Arthur had once beaten in a game of cricket. His next task was to find a name for his second character, an edu- cated man who could not only Join the exploits but narrate them a3 well. Watson seemed perfect.

Several students recalled humor- ous incidents that came i n line with everyday work. According to Gerard Gauthier, one of the Fair hoys, the following were the most unusual questions asked: ’’Are you pushing the ram with your hand that is on the tool post? Are you making curls with that shaper? Do you use milk as a coolant in operating a grinder? The most asked question: What does this machine do? While in New York, three stu- dents got lost in the subway, followed directions, and landed in Brooklyn instead of the Flushing Y.M.C.A., where they were staying. While in the Big City , Edgar Busch, one of the students, met Charles Nadig, the inventor of the first gasoline automobile i n Aserica, while Robert Mortimer, snether student, met the inventor of the tool poet holder. Hiring the last week Ralph von Walthausen and John Shingle ton took over the Job of professionaT lecturers. Wilbur Goehmann, who was i n charge of the Fair hoys, is still in New York supervising the ship- ping of the machines used in the exhibit. John Blum, Fair instruc- tor, returned with the boys.

Print Shop Deluged With Nation-wide Book Orders In an effort to meet the demands for orders from all parts of the country the Trade School print shop recently had 10,000 shop theory books printed by the Doug- las Printing Co. Within a week after the books were printed, 5000 were shipped to fill orders. Despite tills help in filling the orders, which are piling in the bookstore at the rate of at least 75 a day, the school print shop has t o run two photo- offset presses 16 hours a lay. These presses, turning at an average rate of 5000 lapressiaas an hour each furnish sheets for about 200 books daily. More than a ndlliax 8 I 11 inch pages are printed monthly. Duriig the record south of Octo- ber approximately 45CC bocks were canple ted. This year to iate 36,300 have been shipped. The services of IS persons are needed to print , bind, vid the books.

Education is for Sale; but Money Won’t Buy It Good report card marks can be bought with dollars and cents, but real learning is not for sale for a mercenary fee. Real learning can only be acquired by hours of hard work. To try to get learning any other way is useless. Having semeone else do your work might bring good marks but these are not neces- sarily signs of real learning. If caught having someone else do- ing your work you stand to have to do the work again or even worse— expulsion. One will achieve greater satis- faction in later life if he learns early that his cwn work, no matter how poor, is best for him and real knowledge cannot be bought with money. uJhr draftsman Printed and published every other Friday during the school year by and for the students of Henry Ford Trade School, Dearborn, Michigan.

Add to this the willingness to agree at all times and the compos- ite is what the world calls a good sport. Speaking about his visit to New York last summer, he smiled with enthusiasm, then turning to a tone o f disappointment replied, Al- though I marveled at the architec- ture at the Fair I could not make the 250-foot parachute Jump b e- cause of a strong wind. The mysteries of steel and the science which deals with it have led me in the hope of becoming a § metallurgist, he said. If bowling is menti one d Robert will tell you that he spends much time and practice in order to im- prove his 136 average. Bowling captured his fancy about two years ago and has been his favorite sport ever since. Instructors Rewrite Grinder lesson Sheets for Classes To keep practice and theory a- breast A. M. Wagener, shop theory instructor, and H. 0. Bearden, grinder instructor, are rewriting grinder lesson sheets. When com- plete, the sheets will have 100 illustrations taken in the Trade School of Job set-ups, types of grinders, and safety practices. The new sheets will be printed by the beginning of next semester in the new shop theory books.

Editors Hear Foreign Correspondent at Convention Delegates to the National Scho- lastic Press Association Conven- tion in Cleveland, Ohio, held in the Hotel Cleveland, Nov. 28-30, were Editor-in-Chief David Littler and Associate Editor Louis Smith, of The Craftsman. At the opening convocation H. R. Knickerbocker, foreign correspond- ent, spoke. He had Just returned from London where he had taken re- fuge frem the Nazis. Just three hours before the German army arrived in Paris, he left with one small suitcase. He was everywhere when things were popping —in Spain, Poland, Norway, and Denmark. In his talk he said, The out- look on the foreign situation and our own position is bad. Prepared- ness is our only hope. Quoting Winston Churchill, whom he knows personally, he said, We will wage weir. Total war. Our aim: victory. If 100,000 Nazi par- achute troops should pour on Britain today, we would 'chew them up and spit them out.' As Mr. Knickerbocker left Paris before the German army, he was faced with the sad problem of pack- ing in one small suitcase, from his many possessions, those which he treasured most. His choices were the police press cards, gath- ered frem all over the world, and some clothes. On the road out of Paris he Joined an army of 8,000,000 refu- gees in their trek to Spain and un- occupied France. After much trou- ble and red tape, he secured a visa into Spain. There he boarded a 150-passenger, England - bound liner with 1650 other refugees. He said all slept on deck— when one turned over we all had to. Suppression of news aided great- ly in the fall of France, Mr. Knickerbocker continued, One of the best defenses America has is the dissemination of news. France's fall lost 4,500,000 soldiers. If this hadn't happened there would be no peace-time draft in America, he added. According to Mr. Knickerbocker, when the BEF evacuated frem Dun- kirk they left rifles, machine guns, and grenades as well a s their heavy arms behind. France's fall surprised everyone he said.

ABC Department Keeps School Clean On the shoulders of the ABC de- partment, which is composed of 35 students and two Instructors, rests the responsibility of keep- ing the Trade School and Appren- tice School clean during the day. The department was organized 15 years ago to teach students the importance of cleanliness. A student is kept in the depart- ment an average of seven shop weeks. Various Jobs of the department include the washing o f black boards in 41 classrooms each after- noon, the mopping and sweeping of approximately three acres of floor space, the washing of hundreds of classroom windows, the dusting of classroom and office fixtures, and occasionally painting. In one month the department uses 440 pounds of chip-soap, 1000 pounds of soda ash, two gallons of window cleaning fluid, one gallon of metal polish, and one gallon of furniture polish. A mutiny has never occurred in the United States Navy, while in the navies of foreign countries whole squadrons have mutinied. 'Auto Facts and Figures’ Issue Data of Workmen Published in the annual edition of Automobile Facts and Figures, a publication of the Automobile Man- ufacturers Association, were the following data: Surveys show chat 64 per cent of the automobile workers i n the United States were bom in the Middle West, 10 per cent in the South, 8.5 per cent in other sec- tions of the country, 2.5 per cent in Canada, and 15 per cent in for- eign countries. Most workmen are married and have families, 20 per cent having two dependents, 19 per cent one de- pendent, 14 per cent three, 16 per cent four or more, and 8 per cent no dependents. Twenty-three per cent of the workmen in the United States are single. Occupations are: 19 per cent on assembly lines and benches, 13 per cent machine tool operators, 10 per cent material handlers, 8 per cent in maintenance divisions, 8 per cent metal finishers, 6 per cent on tool and die operations, 5 per cent on punches and presses, 5 per cent welders, 4 per cent in- spection, 3.5 per cent foundry and forge shops, and 18.5 per cent other departments. _____________FRIDAY, DEC. 13, 1940 Course in Aeronautics May be Taught in T. S. Because the airplane is recog. nized as a vitally important spoke in the wheel of our national de- fense, a short course in aeronau- tics, as a part of the Trade School curriculum, is being con- sidered. L. J. Croteau, aut(mechanics in- structor, has begun compiling the sheets. He taught aeronautics to A- and B-class students in 1929- 30. Instruction will be given on the principle, assembly, and construc- tion of the air-cooled, radial- type aircraft engine. This is the type of engine Ford Motor Co. will build for the United States govern- ment, according to Pratt and Whit- ney specifications, when the new aircraft building is completed. After Airplane Accident Airman Attempts Again An airplane made another crash landing. In hot pursuit of the tangled mass is R. J. Dale, draw- ing instructor, the owner and builder of the ship. It is only one of the many planes that Mr. Dale, amateur yachtsman and airplane builder, has built and cracked-up . Due to this fact he has only two of his planes left. Mr. Dale is new designing a plane with heavier construction and a more powerful engine. The framework is to be made of heavier pine and the engine to be of the three-cylinder, radial type. Mr. Dale usually uses a one-cylinder engine with a 7 8-inch cylinder bore. His new ship will have a one-inch bore. In this way the plane will have more power and will not have to depend so much on its own lightness and wingspread. If this plane is successful he plans to install remote controls. Mr. Dale builds and assembles the airplanes in his home shop. FRIDA1, DEC 13, 1940 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE FITE hunch Preparation Commences at 5 a. m. I wonder what we 11 have for lunch today?

Dr. Grenfell was one of the few men who realized how desperately the inhabitants of the northern lands needed attention. He there- fore devoted all his efforts and finances to both the spiritual and the physical needs of these people until he was forced to stop be- cause of a heart attack. In quo instance, endeavoring to make the people of Labrador inde- pendent of the large trading ccm- anies. Dr. Grenfell loaned them 10,000 with which to start coop- erative stores. These stores were not run too honestly nor wisely. Dr. Grenfell was notified that he owed a merchant $25,000 for sup- plies, which his friends had bought and failed to pay for. He immediately sold a schooner, which he had Just bought,to pay the bill. It was in this manner that he spent all of his money leaving little for his personal pleasure. Among the well known books writ- ten by Dr. Grenfell are; Adrift an an Ice Pan , A Labrador Doc- tor , Forty Years for Labrador , and many others.

More troops are being sent here every week, stated Alexander Bullock, '30, in a letter which was received recent ly by J. J. Onderko, librarian. Now a civil service engineer for the U. Se Army, Mr. Bullock is a former Training School instructor. The U. S. Army Air Corps has also been pouring into the Canal Zone, and it is a problem trying to get a little sleep, as they are raising the roof day and night with their bombing practice, af- firmed Mr. Bullock in his letter. Mr. Bullock concluded, I derive much pleasure in reading about the various activities of the Trade School in The Craftsman, which I receive regularly. ‘Fun After School’ Is Motto of Clubs Because of the lack of after school activities, seven out-of- school fun clubs have been organ- ized by Trade School students whose motto seems to be; Let's get together after school and have a little fun. Three of these clubs have elected officers and have drawn-up constitu- tions of their own. It was through the suggestion of Remo Vielmo, W-C-l, that the club movement began. Members of the M-C-l club have ordered silk, Kelly-green skating shirts with brown and gray sport caps. This club had a roller skat- ing party as its first social func- tion, followed by a hearth fire supper at the heme of Ernest Mur- dock, business manager of. the club. The W-C-2 and W-C-3 club has had several bowling parties. Its officers are; Paul Quint, presi- dent, Melvin Beebe, vice-president, Frank Scruggs, secretary, and Thom- as Sheridan, treasurer. Bowling clubs have been formed by the following classes; W-E-2, W-E-3, M-E-l, and M-E-3. Several inter-class matches have been rolled between these classes. Ice cream factories in this coun- try use more milk annually than 1,OCX),000 cows can produce.

Nearly 600 persons attended the games. Victorious Polecats Who Became Basketball Champions Back row (left to right): Al Lorcntc, Charles Nunez, Roscoc Douglas, and Adelcki Scodcllaro. Front row: Cameron Cicottc, Robert Camaiani, and Ellsworth Stevens. Bedecked with the 011 Brcwn Darby , traditional trophy of the Crafts- men-Alumni games, Supt. F. E. Searle tossed the ball for the opening tip-off, from whence the Craftsmen promptly took a first quarter lead which they held throughout the game. In the first frame George Crist and Co-captain John Shingle ton swished the basket for four points each for the Craftsmen while Hugo DePaulis and Fred Sutton, Alumni, each registered a field goal. While the Craftsmen's total increased to 22 points in the third peri- od, their tightened defense limited the Alumni to a single field goal which was made by Sutton. In an offensive drive which came too late the Alumni scored eight points in the final quarter. The point-collecting of the Craftsmen was led by Shingleton who found the hoop for 12 counters. The close gurading of the Blue and Gold-clad lads held Alumni players Leonard Taylor, Paul Sara- cino, and Tom Harrington, the three leading scorers of the 1939- 40 Craftsmen, to six points evenly divided. In the preliminary game the W-B- 1 Polecats, piloted by Al Lorente, took the senior intramural cham- the superstitious 13. Bill Garcia, Cardinals, and Chuck Nunez, Polecats, were top scorers with seven and six points, respectively. In the final game the shop in- structors overwhelmed the class in- structors, 18-8. The shopmen attributed their victory to the extra practice they engaged in the few weeks before the game. George Dull and Steve Vigh, with eight and six points, respectively, scored 14 of their team's 18 mark- ers. pionship when they turned back Gus Schmidt's M-C-l Cardinals, 16-13. This was a closely contested game, the supremacy changing fre- quently until the half which ended in an 8-8 tie.

FRIDAY, PEC. 13, 1940 THE CRAFTSMAN PAGE SEVEN T.S. Author Autographs Copies of His Book at Kern’s Book Shop One of the five authors present at Ernst Korn Book Shop a few weeks ago when Detroit authors appeared there to autograph copies of their books was Ton Sayres, Trade School English instructor. Author of A Town Is Born , Mr. Sayres lives Just to write . I knew I had to he a writer when my mother first read Dickens' stories to me, he stated. Two greatest interests of Mr. Sayres are; creative literature and sports—particularly baseball, football, and boxing. His published writings to date have consisted mainly of war sketchs—memories of inarching men—for The Detroit News and The Legion Weekly (Detroit), and articles on rural sports organ- ization. Inspiration for A Town Is Born was conceived from Mr. Sayres' Lions Football Movie Shown Motion pictures shown to M-Sec- ti on students in the auditorium last Wednesday included a special feature entitled 22 Men and a Ball , which showed the Detroit Lions in action._______ Freighter Henry Ford II Battled Lake Huron Gale Can he be Captain J. J. Pearce? pondered two cub reporters as a young man carrying a satchel in- itialed JJP boarded the freighter Henry Ford II. Out on their first assignment, Larry Churley and Josh Wilson, of W-B-l, were in doubt as to the captain’s idertity. How- ever, as a more elderly man ap- peared their doubts were removed. Prepared to interview the cap- tain on his experiences during the gale Nov. 11, the reporters fol- lowed him to the pilot house. There the captain brought forth his log and charts,'outlined his course, and told his story. An Author Must Autograph His Book Mr. Sayres autographing copies of his book, A Town Is Born , for a group of students. They purchased their books through John Dobrci, English instructor. young niece who always liked to play the game of Let's Pretend . He says that the book is Just an overflow of feeling . Some of Mr. Sayresfother books waiting publication are: The Greater Adventure , companion book to A Town Is Born ; Marching Men , and The Adventures of Scarecrow . A Town Is Born is a Christmas story written in somewhat the same maimer as Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol . No, the story Has neither a Scrooge nor a Tiny Tim, but has as its principal char- acter a little girl who, like Tiny Tim, captures the hearts of every- one. Scenes of the story take place aboard a Pullman train. Librarian Announces Beginning of Motion Picture Exchange Seeking to increase the supply of 16 mm films for the film ex- change J. J. Onderko, librarian, has announced that all students and instructors desiring to lend out their motion picture films may turn them in at the library. The purpose of the exchange is to give motion picture camera own- ers a chance to show a variety of films without the expense of buy- ing new ones. For information concerning the film exchange see Mr. Onderko, of the library. Three-Hour Battle We left Detour bound for Cleve- land with a cargo of ore. Just off the tip of the Thumb we had our worst part of the storm. Head- ing cross-wind we attempted to reach the protection of land at Point Aux Barques. For three hours we battled the gale, moving at a mere five miles an hour. Finally we were protected by the land--the ship was safe, he said. Extra Power Deciding Factor Captain Pearce attributed his good fortune to the great amount of power produced by the freighter. Although the wind blew 60 to 70 miles an hour and waves were as high as the deck, the captain mildly stated, It wasn't very ex- citing. No weather reports were available as the radio waves had been cleared for distress calls. Throughout the interview the would-be reporters marveled at their ease in keeping Captain Pearce on the subject. Later he disclosed the fact that he had been a Journalist for two years before he went on the boats.

PAGE EIGHT THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, DEC. 13, 1940 Polecats Rout Aces; Cards Oust Orioles B 7 edging out Herbert Price’s M-C-l Orioles 14-13 Friday, Nov. 29, Gus Schmidt's M-C-l Cardinals gained the privilege of meeting A1 Lorente's W-B-l Polecats for the Senior Intramural Basketball cham- pionship on the recent Annual Bas- ketball Night. Ted Bazner's W-D-2 Aces fur- nished thrills, chills, and spills week before last when they toppled two previously undefeated teams, each by a one-point margin. Their first accomplishment was to turn back the Polecats Monday, Nov. 25 with a 13-12 count. Ed Harvey, of the Aces, assisted his team by sinking three looping pop shots to account for six points. Radiant with victory they tossed Noray Sarkisian's T-C-l Wings the next night, taking the long end of a 12-11 score. By playing inspired basketball, the Polecats swished the basket with 24 points while their superb defense held opposition scoreless to stun the erstwhile Jubilant Aces. This was the second shutout in Trade School basketball history. Help ABC Boys — Croteau To make life easier for ABC boys is the aim of L. J. Croteau, auto mechanics instructor. When punching holes in papers, Mr. Croteau does the Job over an open desk drawer where the scrap paper is captured, later to be emptied into the basket.

Basketball Forward Needs Many and Varied Talents Essential requirements of a for- ward cxi a basketball team are speed, endurance, determination, a good eye for the basket, passing ability, and willingness to cooper- ate in teamwork. Offensiveness is the most impor- tant qualification for a forward. Shifting from defense to offense the moment his team secures the ball, skill in starting, turning, passing, dribbling, and shooting play a major part in good players. Although the chief function of a forward is offense, defense is also important. A skilful forward must be on his guard to halt pass- ing attacks of the opposing team. ready attained the maximum of forty-five cents an hour.

Clerk Takes Panama Naval Training Trip Back frem a 25-day cruise. Jack Cana van, a reserve midshipman In the United States Navy, is again a clerk in the Apprentice School office. He was stationed aboard the U.S.S. Arkansas, one of the largest battle ships in service. Beginning at New York city, the cruise took them down the Atlantic Jack Ocean into the Caribbean Sea. The ship was docked for two days at the Panama Canal, during which time the crew toured the Canal Zone. A stop was also made at the Cuban Naval Base, Guantanamo, Cuba, When Jack was asked how he liked being in the Navy, he replied, Like any other Job, it has its ups and downs. Jack said they were awakened each morning at 5:45, except Sun- day, when they were allowed to sleep until 6:15. Before breakfast they worked an hour and a half. Besides regular duties, classes in navigation, engineering, seaman- ship, gunnery, and military organ- ization were held each week day. On Sunday, interdenominational church services were held in the morning and first-run movies were shown in the afternoon. Jack plans to enroll, for a three-month course, at a Naval school next summer. If he com- pletes this course he will be com- missioned as an ensign. Advent of Cold Weather Enthuses Hockey Fans With the coming of winter many sport enthusiasts turn to ice hock- ey far entertainment. During the winter months every hamlet throughout the Dominion of Canada has its hockey rink laid out in the open air, but substan- tial buildings are used in larger cities where the game is played before spectators. Because of artificial ice rinks in large arenas and auditoriums hockey has spread rapidly in the northern sections of the United States. In hockey the puck is seldom out of play. This, with the lightning speed at which hockey is played; makes it the fastest and one of the most strenuous of all games. olla+toA.

Librarian Traverses 161-Mile Turnpike 'Traveling 161.4 miles by auto without stopping, providing the gas holds out, is possible on the new Pennsylvania Turnpike, super- highway from Pittsburgh to Harris- burg. This is the story J. J. Onderko, librarian, related after he traversed the turnpike recently. On the turnpike, which has no speed limit, there are no stop streets nor stop lights of any kind. All roads that intersect the turnpike pass either under or over it and are reached by making a turn in the form of a cloverleaf. It is a well known fact that a straight line is the shortest dis- tance between two points, so this highway makes its lines a little straighter by going through moun- tains instead of over or around them. Incidentally, it is best not to aiiss the road at which you plan to turn off, for it is a long way be- tween the intersections, Mr. Onderko concluded. Senior Teaches Flying Since the first week in December, Raymond Rowe, senior, has been a Hying instructor at the Ann Arbor Airport. Early in October he received a leave of absence frem the Trade School and started working for a Hying instructor's rating. He achieved this rating early in December and is now teaching ten University of Michigan students. lowed by The Flight of the Bumble Bee , and as an encore The Ferry- boat Serenade . These selections were played on his $1000 Excelsior Multi-Grand accordion. Last summer in Chicago Anthony won a beautiful,three-foot trophy as second prize winner in a na- tional accordion contest. The contest had 30 entrants and was sponsored by the American Accor- dion Association. During an amateur contest held in the Trade School about four years ago, Anthony watched a boy play the accordion and got the in- spiration to start his music ca- reer. Anthony bought an old ac- cordion and began practicing an average of four hours a day and at times put in an extra hour's prac- tice before going to work. In October, 1940 his first musi- cal composition, Rhapsodic Mo- ments , an accordion solo written in a fast changing tempo, was pub- lished. Anthony now teaches 25 students, plans to make music his profession.

FRIDAY, JAN. 10, 1941-------------- Close Decisions Lose Craftsmen Two Games After holding a scant 11-10 ad- vantage over the Kennedy Collegi- ate Institute Clippers at half time the Craftsmen ran into an aerial blitzkrieg when the Canadi- ans bombed the basket with 11 points and held the visitors to a point in the third quarter of their encounter on the Kennedy court. Jack Shingleton scored 8 of his 12 points in his usual last quar- ter spurt, but the Clippers stayed on top to take a 25-22 decision. Stags Win by Point The 12-6 lead which the Crafts- men held over the Mackenzie Stags at the end of the third quarter was erased by a furious attack that put the Stags on the desir- able end of a 13-12 final score. Trying desperately to stem the assault, Shingleton made several attempts to score in the final min- utes of the game. His last shot went in, but the whistle had blown. Coach Must Pick Good Man to Play Center Center Is the most difficult and exhausting position on a basket- ball team. The player must be able to cover the backboard, set up plays, be a good passer, excel- lent jumper, dead eye shot, strong defense man, and should be tall. The center is usually responsi- ble for the center of the court between the goals. He follows the ball up and down the court and serves as the pivot for offense. ty to size up a situation will put kbu in the proper place at the cor- rect time with the least amount of energy.

FRIDAY, JAN. 10, 1941 Chadsey Explorers Administer Trouncing to Craftsmen Who Fail in Scoring Power Taking it on the chin with a count of 34-13,the Craftsmen took their worst heating of the season at the hands of the Chadsey Explorers at the Detroit Boys Club last Friday. Five points by Joe Smaza, speedy Chadsey guard, paced the Explorers' George Crist jj) sinks one of the four field goals registered by the Craftsmen in the Chadsey game last Friday. 11-5 lead in the first quarter. A field goal and free toss by Bud Cush- ing and a goal by George Crist accounted for Craftsmen scoring in this stanza. A1 Lorente's foul shot was the only Craftsmen score in the second pe- riod and the half ended with Chadsey on the high end of a 19-6 score. The third quarter was the only one in which the Craftsmen out- scored the Explorers. Two field goals by George Ventro, combined with charity tosses by Jack Shin- gleton and Cushing, brought the count to 23-12. A series of scoring attempts by Chadsey in the last period netted them four field goals and three free tosses for 11 points while they again successfully defended their basket against field goals. Chadsey's Joe Smaza led both teams in the scoring department with 9 points. Junior Basketball Begins Beginning activities in the Jun- ior Intramural Basketball League the T-E-l Railsplitters, paced by Ed Wolf with 6 points, subdued the T-E-3 Rangers, 15-7, last Tuesday at Miller School. Captain Bill Taylor with 8 points, led his T-F-l Aces to a 20-8 victory over the T-F-2 Wild- cats in their game Wednesday at Detroit Boys Club. All .Trade School Students Invited to Skating Party Invitation has been extended to all Trade School students to be guests, without charge, of the Olympia, Grand River at McGraw, at a skating party from 3 to 5 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 30. Arrangements are being made to have the invitation extended to one afternoon a week for three con- secutive weeks so that each sec- tion may attend while in class. Each student is to provide his own skates. Racer skates may be used. Further notifications will be made through the medium of the public address system or in The Craftsman. NOTE—Although the Lake Shore game is not listed on the season tickets, they will be accepted at the door tomorrow night. Messer Out; Ray, Waling Reach Belt Semi-finals By winning a three-round deci- sion over Walter Dacres, Brew- ster 126 pounder, last Wednesday, Vic Waling, alumnus, qualified for Detroit Times Diamond Belt semi-finals to be held at Naval Armory tonight. Jesse Ray, 160 lbs., drew a bye, and thereby gained a berth in the semi-finals. Willis Messer, who was sched- uled to fight in the quarter-fi- nals last Wednesday, suffered a finger laceration as he cleaned his machine Tuesday. He will be unable to continue further in the tournament. Steve Kazolis, W-D-3, unat- tached 112 lb. flyweight, lost by a decision in his first fight. Reserve Cagers Un-beaten in Season’s Four Tilts By handing Chadsey' s sec end- stringers a 27-14 defeat last Fri- day, the Craftsmen Reserves won their fourth straight game to remain unde- feated t h i s season. After trail- ing 10-9 at half time the Crafts- men went into a scoring spree for the remainder of the game, sinking 18 points to Chadsey's four. After a barren first quarter in which neither team scored, the Re- serves finally got started against Mackenzie and finished the half with a substantial 12-2 lead. This margin was retained as the Craftsmen took a 19-9 victory. Facing a 7-point deficit when the half time score stood 12-5 did- n't dismay the Craftsmen i a their game with the Kennedy In- stitute Junior team, for they swished the Kennedy basket for V points in the last half to take t 22-17 decision.

Band Rehearsals Changed to Rotunda Henry Ford Trade School Band, under the direction of Fred Nicholson, is new rehearsing in the Little Theatre of Ford Rotunda two hours ----------- each week. For the last two and a half years the band has rehearsed in power house 8, just east of the B-building. However, be- cause of changes inside he power house, the band had to change its place of rehearsal. Transportation from the School to the Rotunda is furnished by Ford Motor Co. Buses. Mr. Nicholson requests that instructors release band boys early enough to catch the bus, which leaves for the Rotunda at 3 p.m., sharp on Thursdays and Fridays. To appear at the Crafts- men-Birmingham basketball game tonight are the Seven Assassins of Silly Sym- phony, a novelty band com- posed of members of the school band. Naval Students Arrive; Begin Training in Apprentice School Amid the confusion of news-reel cameramen end still photographers,Trade School students and Instructors be- came aware, Jan. 14, that Henry Ford Trade School has become an important factor In the national defense pro- Mcshing gears explained by H. R. Arthur, Apprentice School instructor, gram. Representing several well-known news agencies and news-reel companies, the photographers took numerous pictures of the first group of naval students who are at the school for a three-months' training course. The Navy students, 175 in the first group, cere being trained by the Ford Apprentice School to satisfy the Navy'8 large demand for trained men in the mechanical trades. The present number will be increased. Sailors who qualified for this training passed a number of mechanical and intelligence tests with a grade of more than 85 per cent. Only those men in- terested were selected for the course. Henry Ford built perma- nent barracks, completely outfitted, on the Rouge River south of the Ford factory for the sailors. The sallor-students will devote 40 hours each week to training. Eight hours of this time will be spent in class roans and 32 hour8 in shop. Most G-Class Students Save ‘Something Extra What do G-class students do with their scholarship? Although most of their scholarship is used for self-support, a number of students are able to save f or something they have always wanted. Edward Francis, T-G-2, uses a small amount of his scholarship to obtain Boy Scout equipment. To own a shotgun has long been the desire of Donald Payne, W-G-2. This desire is soon to be real- ized. So he can attend college, Charles Lewis, M-G-2, puts eight dollars in the bank each month. Both Robert Niblo, T-G-2, and Steve Floreck, T-G-l, hope to purchase an auto- mobile in a few years with the money they are saving. Again there are four columns o n the front page of the Issue. This is an experiment in make-up that may be adopted for all pages. Comments through The Craftsman drop box will still be welcomed. PAGE TWO. .THE CRAFTSMAN. FRIDAY, JAN. 24, 1941 Man Who Endangers Lives of Others Is a Coward Between Gate 4 and the Trade School are 11 railway tracks which students must cross twice dally. To help assure safety to every student, watchmen are on duty at all times. No student has ever been Injured crossing these tracks. Recently, though, the safety de- partment has reported t o the school that Trade School boys are getting careless. While some have been standing back waiting for a train with hot metal to pass, oth- ers have been seen pushing the boys in the front row forward. A rather cowardly thing to do— endangering the other fellow. He- roes are persons who work for the safety of others. School Spirit at Games Shows Great Improvement Besides the team and coach at basketball games, there are the band, cheerleaders, ticket sales- men, student manager, scorekeeper, timekeeper, and, most important of all, rooters. Increased attendance a t all Craftsmen games this year shows a substantial gain in school spirit. The band, cheerleaders, ticket salesmen, and officials attend every game to do their bit to help the team along. All these people, rooters in- cluded, deserve a vote of thanks, for there is nothing a team likes better than to knew that someone is cheering for them. ®b?

PAGE THREE W-A-3 'Girl Friends’ Haunt | Out of the Past Comes Hobby for Trade School Instructor School on 'Dress Day’ Contented. This was the atmo- sphere assumed by W-sectIon gradu- ates as they said adieu to class- mates and Instructors during the week of Jan. 13, their last week In class. These were days that the graduates will always remember. True to traditional dress day , graduates arrived Thursday In gala array. Creating much excitement to students--also instructors-- were the so-called girl friends who were in reality Marvin Alten- berg, Edward Kaiser, Roy Martens, and Edward Beitler, o f W-A-3, dressed in feminine attire. The occasional clang of a cow bell, draped around the neck of Bill Murphy, W-A-3, added to the Joyful affair. Predominant among the dress worn last Thursday, were bright, red- flannel shirts which also symbol- izes the fellowship club of W-A-2. Dressed in their best duds with bright carnations in their lapels, the graduates marched into the cafeteria last Friday for their final class meal. As each A-class entered the cafeteria a fanfare was sounded on a trumpet by Walter Sage, W-D-2. As i n past class days, the graduates spent the remainder of the afternoon collecting auto- graphs from friends and instruc- tors. But their day grew rapidly to a close, leaving only a memory and great anticipation for the commencement and the prom. Student Expounds Debilitate Asked, on an examination paper in a Trade School English class, to define debilitate, a T-D-3 stu- dent answered: Five days of this English i s enough to debilitate anybody. Noah Webster, well-known lexicog- rapher, defines debilitate: To im- pair the strength of; to weaken; enfeeble. Since he was six years old, 0. L. Rothbone, of the bookstore, has been collecting arrowheads. A part of his collection is on display in the library showcase. Mr. Rothbone started his collection when he found some arrowheads near his father's farm on Bogus Island in northwestern Indiana. Besides arrowheads his collection Includes tomahawks, axes, drills, fishhooks and scrapers. Mr. Roth- ------------- bone has displays of Indian tribal weapons from Ohio, Indiana, Okla- homa, Michigan, Missouri, and Texas. Arrowheads were mounted o n shafts, split at one end, by slip- ping the arrowhead in the slot, and tying it securely. Arrowheads ♦ T ▼ Displayed above arc ceremonial ornaments of an ancient Indian tribe, outstanding for their intricate carvings. The ornaments were un- earthed in Oklahoma with 16 Indian skeletons. range from 3 4 to 3 inches in length. Smaller arrowheads were used to hunt birds and other small game, and the longer were used and larger t o hunt arrowheads large game. Round, blunt arrowheads, called stunners , were used for shooting turkeys, eagles, and other large birds. Stunners would only stun the bird so that the feathers could be plucked while the bird was still alive. Arrowheads were made from flint, quartz, obsidian, and other hard stones. There are more than 37 m illion telephones in the world. Of these more than half arc in the United States. Bill and Joe, Brothers, Are a Couple of ‘Scourges’ Bill and Joe have two brothers and two sisters. Bill has always been a beefer and if anything goes wrong he gets excited and is ready to state his opinion either vocally or in action. He has a light complexion and a-------------------------------- funny pug nose which would undoubt- edly be noticed on any individual. Joe, on the other hand, would al- most Just as soon fight as eat. He is without a doubt the toughest member of his family. At lunch time he might pick a fight with a brother or sister and one might even find him being sassy to his mother. He has bad manners when eating. Sometimes he hurries and eats his lunch Just so he can coax a brother or sister to give him some of their delicious, canned food. Despite the actions of these two ill-tempered brothers their mother loves them Just as much as she does the other four six-weeks old cocker spaniels. Out of Test Tubes Come New Clothing Does your new Christmas tie look like a nightmare? Don't let i t get you down; it may have been manufactured in a chemical laboratory. Materials that go into the mak- ing of our present day clothing are being constantly replaced by products from the research chem- ist's test tube. The most practical synthetic material yet discovered is Nylon, a fiber made frem coal, water, and air. It is claimed that this Du Pont-discovered substance, which is rapidly replacing silk, i s twice as strong and will wear twice as long as a pair of high grade silk stockings. Nylon is 15 per cent cheaper than silk. A fiber still in its infancy but with a premising future is Fiber- glas, made and developed by the Owens and Corning Fiberglas Corp. Fiberglas was developed to be used as an air-filter for hot-air furnaces and air conditioning systems. Now it is being woven into a fireproof cloth. Fireproof curtains, tablecloths, lamp shades, glass cloth for air- plane wings, men's summer hats, and awnings are manufactured with Fiberglas. Scientists are develop- ing this substance into dresses and other apparel, brake linings, and tire cord. During the first World War, due to the scarcity of cotton and wool, people in Austria and Germany were forced to use paper cloth. Besides cloth this substance has been transformed into hairpins, tapestry, imitations of Persian carpets, horses' harnesses, and piping for oil and gas.

School-Spirited Students, Instructors Help Team Behind the scenes of cheering crowds at action-packed basketball games is a group of unheralded stu- dents and instructors who are largely responsible for the suc- cess of the game. J. H. Heinz, shop theory instruc- tor, has charge of preparing and selling tickets. Marches and overtures are played by the band, directed by Fred Nicholson. Joe Bone, senior, has the Job of keeping an accurate account of the game's scoring. At hcane games his score sheet is official. Clarence Grubby, Ray Stanaway, Tam Fournier, Phil Miller, Herby Haffner, Francis McDonald, and Mar- vin Altenburg are cheerleaders. They must have coordination among themselves to receive response frem the crowd. It's the task of the student man- ager, Phil Headings, to chart the position from which each basket- attempt is made and the player who made the attempt. The purpose of the chart is to determine frcm which shooting position each play- er is most efficient. Hook AtUweod Answers to book quiz found on page two follow: 1. Verne, 2. Dickens, 3. Boyd, 4.

Instructor Dances Hula; Wins Prize at Theater Truth or Consequences. Since V. F. Richards, geography instruc- tor, didn't tell the truth, he had to pay the consequences. When the Master of Ceremonies walked down the Fox Theater aisles getting contestants for a recent Truth or Consequences program on the stage, he picked Mr. Richards. After he received $2 for partici- pating, Mr. Richards was quizzed on dog owners. Who is the owner of Sandy? Mr. Richards, anxiously awaiting the question, said, Orphan Annie. That's fine, replied the an- nouncer, Who owns Napoleon? Stumped on this question the il- lustrious geography instructor answered, Bonaparte. Bonaparte being the wrong an- swer resulted in Mr. Richards' tak- ing the consequence. He was given a grass skirt. The band started to play an Hawaiian Hula, and he responded, much to the delight of the audience, by doing the dance. An applause meter registered the best consequence contestant. Mr. Richards won first prize, $5 and five bars of Ivory Soap.

Plenty, Learns Henry Ford When Henry Ford, Trade School student, was called to the stage to receive his diploma Jan. 25, a De- troit Free Press photo- grapher and reporter started it all. A feature story of Henry appeared in the Jan. 27 issue of the Free Press. The next day a radio com- mentator included Henry in his oddities. With the publicity came corre- spondence from Flint, Mich, and Detroit. Here's a story the com- mercial papers didn't get. Henry, injured in an auto accident one day, was asked by hospital atten- dants his name. He re- plied, Henry Ford. The attendant looked puzzled and thought, I'll humor him. Then Henry was asked what school he attended. He answered, Edgar A. Guest (this incident hap- pened before he entered Henry Ford Trade School). Thinking Henry delirious, the doctors kept him under close observation until Henry's mother was located and notified.

When the 20th century was still young Mr. Knowles came to the United States to make his heme. He settled in a bocm lum- ber town in Wisconsin and opened a watch repairing shop.

Each day at a crossing he beat the Express With seconds to spare and sometimes less. Ninety-nine times he had won with ease, Quite a record to boast--if you please-- The hundredth time to the crossing he sped Though the warning above was flashing red. Halfway across--he saw in a flash In this attempt he was going to crash. DRAWN AND WRITTEN 3Y £ „ P.

If a Belle You Take to a Show; You Must Be a Courteous Beau Seven o'clock is when to go Escorting your girl to the show. Don't be early and don't be late, For you should never make her wait. You talk and entertain her some Until to the show you have came. Then let her out and park the car For then she won't have to walk far. She leads if an usher is there. If not, then you will show her where. Help her with her coat if you can, For then you'll show that you're a man. And when the time has come to leave Back to the car your way will weave. Then back to her with smiling face, And take her safely to her place. --Anthony Kruljac, senior Ice skating and swimming are Ray's favorite sports, while books and movies are his favorite meth- ods of relaxation.

She shared her lunch with him. After the meal was completed the vagabond arose to leave. Where are you going? Lady As- tor asked. I'm going with the wind to my back, answered the tramp. That is the way with all us vagabonds. It's easy to walk with the wind. Not much effort is required. Facing the wind, though, creates stamina, will power, poise----the qualities possessed by the men who are known as great leaders. Trade School Boys Show Improvement in Safety Risks between Gate 4 and the Trade School have decreased in the last two weeks, according to the safety department. This fact is pleasing to the school. Heretofore, complaints were made conceming the careless- ness of Trade School boys when crossing the railroad tracks between Gate 4 and the school. It is good to know that students realize the dangers of careless- ness, and that they strive to cor- rect this unmanly nature.

Peanuts, a Bean, Grow Underground When is a nut not a nut? This statement might well be a conundrum with the peanut for the answer. While the peanut is usual- ly classed with the nuts, it is really a bean. The peanut Is one of the most peculiar and most re- markable of all our food plants. Its seed pods are developed and matured in the soil. A peanut plant in blosscm appears, much like a pea vine, with yel- low flowers on long stems.

The center of the peanut industry is Suffolk, Vir- ginia, which is the world’s greatest peanut market.

Plastics play an impor- tant part in the present war. Much needed iron, steel, and wood is being substituted with plastics. Tenite is being used by the army for stretcher handles and trench helmets. Tenite is not affected by poison gases, does not warp or corrode, and is lightweight and durable. Today, more than 120 dif- ferent parts of the air- plane are made of plastic, including wings, fuselage, propeller, windows, instru- ment bindings, seats, and self-sealing bullet-proof fuel tanks.

Peanuts (Continued from page 3) in southern Europe. Although the peanut is now cultivated nearly everywhere throughout the warmer portions of the world, it is a true Ameri- can plant and probably originated in Brazil. It is not known whether the ancient Americans knew of more than one method of utilizing the peanut. The present day Indians not only eat the roasted nuts, but also grind or pound the nuts into an oily paste, exactly like our peanut butter. The Indi- ans also extract the oil from the peanuts and use the meal in making cokes. The cracked nuts are boiled in brown sugar to form a confection. The peanut was as popu- lar to Americans of long ago as it is today and was as widely cultivated ae potatoes and beans.

PACE TWO. .THE CRAFTSMAN Don't Walk Around Engine; Wait For Track to Clear At approximately 7:10 a.m. Tues- day, Feb. 25, a train stopped on the tracks in the way of approach- ing Trade School boys. It had hardly stopped when same of the boys began to run across the unpro- tected track behind it. This foolish deed might have ended in tragedy, for immediately afterward, the engine moved back onto a switch. A little patience could have been used in this incident. Had they waited half a minute, the train would have moved on. The boys could have reached school Just as soon. Man's Education Compares to Processing of Iron Iron ore dug in the upper pen- insula is worth about $5 a ton. Twenty-two dollars per ton is the approximate value of the iron after it is smelted. The iron then goes to the open hearth, the rolling mill, and manufacturing plants. All these make it more valuable. Its final value is in- calculable . Man, like iron, must go through different processes during his life. He can become a man of im- portance, or Just the slag that is forgotten. Processing made the iron more valuable. Getting an education is processing for man. Confidence in yourself will win the confidence of others.

When you see the last of the snow, And as you breathe refreshing air Spring seems to be most everywhere. There are times when winter looks through, And then the snow comes back anew.

Bicycles will be seen by the score, And marble players even more. —by Anthony Kruljac, senior Propaganda Bulletin To the editor: I had the occasion to overhear this remark of a student.

The3e pictures are wrong, exclaimed Leon Cybul, T-A-l, as his eyes centered on two pictures that appeared in the Janu- ary 27 issue of Our Times magazine. Whoever heard of a left hand drill press or a lathe with its headstock to the right of the opera- tor, pointed out Leon in his letter to the editor of the magazine. negatives reversed The explanation to this puzzle is simple. The two pictures of mechanical sub- jects were printed with reversed negatives. Even had the pictures been printed correctly, Leon wrote, many safety principles, stressed in the Trade School have been violated, such as loose- fitting sleeve8 thac were not rolled up, hair dan- gling in operator's eyes, and hands near revolving cutters. We, in the Trade School, are taught that minor matters can easily cause serious accidents. EDITOR THANKS LEON In response to Leon's letter, Charles E.

American Unity Is Best Defense from Foreign Isms America is a land of many creeds, races, and nationalities, who were united to form a new civilization. America offered freedom to all who settled here. Here in America are opportuni- ties for man, unmatched elsewhere in the world. The rights and lib- erties defined in our constitution are the dearest possessions in our democracy. Now, these rights are periled by foreign isms, propa- ganda, fifth columnists and the like. Efforts are being made by these forces to stir up resentment and ill feelings among ourselves. Unity is the best defense of America. Upholding the principles of democracy is the only way to in- sure peace for America. To be conscious that vou are ignorant is a great step to know- ledge. -Disraeli Palace Guards Broken of Habit, Sleeve Buttons Become Mode While looking f om his palace window one day Franz Josef, former Emperor of Austria, saw a guard step frexn a pillbox, glance swift- ly about, and furtively wipe his running nose on his tunic sleeve.

Stoelting Vof. 6, No. 13 Friday April 18, 1941 Carelessly Driven Car Is ‘Wolf in Sheeps Clothing’ The automobile, a thing of beauty, an instrument of death. Made for usefulness, the car has been turned into a brutal weapon by careless drivers, causing un- told agonies. This is an appeal to drivers to use better Judgment. Many accidents are caused by per- sons shewing-off. While traveling at top speed and turning corners on two wheels , one shows disre- gard for personal safety and the live8 of others. A good driver is one who drives at a safe rate and has his car under control; an easy Job, yet a seemingly impossible task to many. Be considerate, DRIVE SAFELY. Failure--An Important Step Toward Success If at first you don't succeed, try, try again is a good rule to follow. But failure has its good points. An unsuccessful attempt at anything should be accepted as experience. The mistakes should teach an individual not to repeat the error that caused the failure. A set-back should give the re- ceiver determination to keep try- ing. Some mistakes will bring an over-confident or egotistical per- son dc m to earth and make him realize that he is no more impor- tant than his fellows. Hard-earned success is often more lasting than easily obtained success. I-------------Rain-------------1 Did you ever watch the rain fall While thinking of nothing at all?

H Stoelting Vol. 6, No. 14 Wednesday, May 7, 1941 Students Gain Nothing by Joining Labor Unions Rumor has it that acme, students have been talked into Joining labor organizations. To Join such an organization is throwing away money. They can offer you nothing. They can .not give you an increase ir. wages because you are not re- ceiving a wage; you are students receiving a scholarship. Senority righto? You receive no benefit because you are promoted on ability, on eagerness to learn, and on report card markings, not because you are the oldest in your department. Vacation with pay? Again you receive nothing from an organiza- tion. You receive a three weeks' vacation each summer and a one week vacation during the Christmas holidays—four weeks--with scholar- ship. Later, when you are employed ar.d are convinced it is to your advan- tage to Join a labor organization, do so, but until then there is no need for doing so. --Leo W.

PAGE 4----------------- Craftsmen Defeat Redford, Hazel Park After Losing First Two Tilts After losing the first two games on the schedule to Port Huron and Western, the Craftsmen baseball team broke into the win column by trimming Redford, 14-9, and outslugging Hazel Park, 18-13. Slipshod fielding accounted for three of Port Huron's six runs as they beat the Craftsmen, 6-3, at Atkinson Field, April 25. The Craftsmen collected but four hits off Anderson, Port Huron pitcher. STEVENS, VIELMO HOMER The Craftsmen garnered nine runs but were still on the short end of a 14-9 score against Western. Home runs by Ellsworth Ste- vens and Remo Vielmo led the Craftsmen attack which netted eight hits. The game was not decided until the sixth inning when John Dura, Craftsmen pitcher, allowed two hits and walked three batters. RALLY BEATS REDFORD A barrage of eight hits and ten runs in the sixth inning of the -Craftsmeri- Redford game sewed up the first win for the locals. Fourteen hits, including four doubles and a triple, shewed the Craftsmen were really meeting the ball. Ken Lewis, Craftsmen hurl- er, was more impressive than the score indicates. He allowed seven scattered hits and two earned runs while collecting two doubles and a single at bat. CRAFTSMEN WIN SLUG-FEST Continuing their slug- ging in the Hazel Park game, the Craftsmen banged out three doubles and three triples among the 16 hits they collected. Craftsmen scoring festivi- ties began in the second Inning when Stevens and John Yushta walked, Fran- cis Schoenfelner was hit by a pitched ball, and Louis Block tripled, clear- ing the bases. fi ieUdl Schedule Port Huron (here) April 25 Weetern (there) April 28 Redford (there) April 29 Hazel Park (there) May 2 East Detroit (there) May 6 Melvindale (here) May 9 Melvindale (there) May 16 Port Huron (there) May 17 East Detroit (here) May 20 Hazel Park (here) May 23 Lincoln Park (here) May 26 Fordson (there) May 27 Lincoln Park (there) June 3 Legion Posts Begin Baseball Schedules The American Legion Base- ball League officially opened with a parade of the teams to the flag pole where the flag raising took place Sunday, May 4, at Belle Isle.

There were, piled hy the door, boxes used by Ford Motor Co. for packing. As the boys began to file out, someone kicked a box that was lying on the floor. This started most of the following boys to do the same. Boxes were strewn from the exit to the end of the B- building. Craiment by same of the factory men as they walked by was not complimentary. Why give people the opportunity to belittle the school? In the future let's not have any recur- rence of such antics.

This means that the skilled mechanic's chances for a Job and security are about 90 times better than those of the professional man. America's need for men skilled in mechanical trades is urgent. As American industry continues to expand, this need will continue and grow.

It seems a shame that the equip- ment and machinery in the shop should be shut down on Saturdays, when they could be put to such good use.

To the editor; Why aren't seniors allowed to buy tool boxes, the large type like those used by instructors? The present boxes are all right for those who haven't many tools, but seniors usually have over- crowded boxes due to the need for more tools. —Michael Labick, senior Oversize tool boxes are not per- mitted in the shop because there are no racks suitable for them.

According to reports on the front page, we stu- dents are going to have some stiff competition in the way of ladies at the Bob-Lo Picnic this year. The boys that went to Ann Arbor say they had a Wcw! That electric bill is terrific! Have them change the meter. But the meter and the bill are usually correct as Trade School students discover by learning to read watt- hour meters and to compute electricity bills in their advanced physics class. To acquaint students with logical answers to natural phenomena and their connection with act- ual shop work is one of the chief aims of the physics department. Every Trade School boy studies physics for two semesters, a total of 14 weeks, seven and one-half clock hours each week. SHOP TRIPS ARE MADE With lesson sheets pre- pared by Trade School in- structors, the first six weeks are devoted to the study of the Mechanics of Solids and Fluids.

The first three weeks of the second semester are spent in studying the ef- fects of heat. Along with classroom demonstrations, a shop trip is made to one of the big Ford ore freighters, where opera- tions of Diesel engines are explained by one of the engine room crew, mak- ing the study interesting as well as practical. The final four weeks of the second semester are spent in studying Magnetism and Electricity. A visit to Power House No. 1, with a combustion engineer serv- ing as guide and lecturer, is made near the end of the semester. This trip supplements the student's study of electricity. STUDENTS MAKE CHARTS To develop actual ex- perience and to impress upon the mind the topics studied, the students make several actual work prob- lems and charts. Due to lack of time and laboratory facilities, the course is a demonstration and lecture course. To obtain complete high school credit for physics, a Trade School student must make up one semester at night school. During this course a student spends most of his time doing laboratory work. jo rm:m ELECTRICITY 3iu . present Hrrr f ncadinc, , PRCCEO NG UTTER RrADlKG “ TQJAL ffW HOURS USED i Eugene Topping adjusts meter reading, white Richard Hoad records them.

The two latest triumphs the Craftsmen scored were a 4-1 victory over East Detroit and a 5-4 win over Melvindale last Friday. Ken Lewis, Craftsmen pitcher, held the East Detroit- ers to an unearned run and , . five scattered hits. Lew- is pitched with great con- trol, issuing no walks and fanning 11 batters. Four hits and numerous East De- troit errors accounted for the four Craftsmen runs. Francis Schoenfelner led the CrafLTiaen hitters with a single and a triple. WIN IN LAST INNING Melvindale gave the Craftsmen trouble by scor- ing four runs in the last two innings. But a hit by Remo Vielmo, a stolen base, and an error by the Melvin- dale pitcher scored the winning run. The Crafts- men, boasting a .298 team batting average, scored three runs in the first inning on three hits, a walk, and a hit batsman. THROW SAVES GAME One of the hits, a dou- ble by Ellsworth Stevens, blossomed Into the first run of the game. Ken Lew- is pitched another good game as he allowed only five hits and struck out nine batters. A fine throw by John Dura, Crafts- men center fielder, killed a Melvindale rally in the last inning. Dura nailed a runner, trying to score, with a perfect throw from center field to heme plate. Vielmo socked three of the nine hits the Craftsmen collected. The Craftsmen play Mel- vindale again, Friday, May 16, and then go to Port Huron for a contest on Sat- urday, May 17. Answers to the sport quiz on page two follow: I. Hcwe, Hockey; 2.

Latest addition to the educational system estab- lished by Henry Ford, the new Ford Aircraft School, which is opposite the new toolrocm, is now open, and classes are being organ- ized for apprentice train- ing in aircraft industry. Practical training will include machine shop, as- sembly, disassembly, in- spection, and testing of the Pratt and Whitney, 18- cylinder airplane engines. SHOP THEORY INCLUDED Theoretical training will be related to the work per- formed by the apprentice in the aircraft plant. The principal subjects taught are airplane engine me- chanics, drawing, electri- city, mathematics, and metallurgy. The aircraft mechanics division will offer a com- prehensive knowledge of aircraft engines. A lab- oratory in which to assem- ble and disassemble air- craft engines will be used. ELECTRICAL COURSE OFFERED The electrical depart- ment offers classroom and laboratory work in indus- trial electricity, with special emphasis on motor characteristics, hook-up, and control. Special classes are to be offered in aircraft engine igni- tion and auxiliaries, which include starters and Come and get it!” A familiar cry to campers, but The Craftsman staff knew what it meant.

When you work, don't play at all. This motto, standing on W. H. Moore's desk in the transfer crib, should be the motto of every Trade School student. That this motto is worth heeding was proved by Thomas A. Edison. Were it not for his ceaseless, un- tiring work many of the luxuries we enjoy today would never be. The few opportunities which Edi- son had in his youth, aided by his incessant work, made him one of the greatest men of his time. The example of Edison should be an inducement to Trade School stu- dents. They have many more oppor- tunities than he had. They should do great things for the benefit of themselves and for the benefit of all civilization.

Asks Co-operation With Military Convoys Co-operation of motorists and pedestrians to facilitate movement of military convoys was urged by the American Automobile Associ- ation recently, as follows; Frequently military convoys mov- ing on the open highway will have sufficient interval between vehi- cles to permit civilian vehicles to pass the column provided all safety precautions, such as not passing on hills, curves and the like, are observ3d. When passing through cities, the column may be closed up and if adequately es- corted by police will move at a normal speed and may go through stoplights and stop signs without halting. When encountering a convoy in the city, pull off to one side of the street in the same manner as when an ambulance or a fire engine is approaching. Ch the open highway, even though the vehicles are somewhat spread out, the convoy when escorted by state police may go through a stop- light. When approaching an inter- section through which an army ve- hicle is moving, slow down and de- termine that no additional vehi- cles are coming before driving through even though the light is green. This precaution should be followed both in the city and on the open highway.

Two periods a week are de- voted to theory and ex- planation of the work and three periods to labora- tory work. Surrounded by chemical equipment, Ellsworth Stevens works a sulphur test. Chemistry is taught in the school to give the stu- dents a greater knowledge of its practical use in in- dustry. Each student spends near- ly 200 hours on the chem- istry course. COURSE COVERS TWO YEARS The first semester's work consists of the de- velopment of the general fundamental principles. Four days a week are de- voted to classroom work; one day a week is spent in the laboratory. Emphasis is placed on acids bases and salts, so- lutions and solubility of compounds, dissociation and ionization, chemical equilibrium, equations, indicators and precipita- tion methods during the 8econd semester. Two peri- ods a week are devoted to claserocm work and three periods to laboratory work.

Tool Models Made for Aircraft School Giant precision tools, such as the fabled Paul Bunyun night use, are be- ing constructed in the Trade School shop for in- struction purposes in the Ford Aircraft Apprentice School. Four in all, these over- grown tools include a mi- crometer, vernier bevel protractor, vernier cali- per, and rule. These models are alike in every detail as com- pared with their smaller brothers. The vernier bevel protractor and vern- ier caliper are built on a 25-1 scale; the micrometer and rule are on a 10-1 scale. All woodwork was done in the Trade School wood pat- tern shop. The metal fit- tings were supplied by the toolroom bench department. Engraving was done by Frank Landsfeld and An- thony Voltattarni, sen- iors.

The losses were a 2-1 defeat by Port Huron, a 3-1 loss to East Detroit, a 9-4 loss to Lincoln Park, In the first inning of the Port Huron game a home run by Schatzline, of Port Huron, with a man an base accounted for two runs. After that, Ken Lewis, Craftsmen pitcher, gave but one hit. During the East Detroit contest the Craftsmen got five scattered hits. Remo Vielmo's triple and Vasile Harpau'8 single accounted for the Craftsmen run. Errors brought much grief in the next three games. Three errors in the Hazel Park game aided the Parkers in getting five runs. Lincoln Park took advantage of four Craftsmen errors. While Lewis matched the Fordson pitchers in ef- fectiveness, the Tractors scored five runs to the Craftsmen's two. Only one of the Tractor runs was earned. a 5-2 defeat by Hazel Park, and a 5-2 loss to Fordson.

What impressed me most at Boys' State, said Mr. Canham, was how quickly the boys absorbed the ideas and aim3 of the con- vention. Mr. Canham represented Highland Park High School at the session. The six Trade School boys who are now at Boys' State are Peter Bielskis, Charles Crump, Douglas Davidge, Herbert Haffner, James Miller, Elis Moffett. I hope that he will be head of Henry Ford Trade School for the next 25 years, stated Edsel Ford, president of Ford Motor Co., in paying tribute to F. E. Searle before award- i ng d ip 1 om s. j to the members of the 25th anniversary graduating class at Ford- son High School last Tues- day evening. FORD TAUGHT BY SEARLE Mr. Searle was my phys- ics teacher at the De- troit University School more than 30 years ago, continued Mr. Ford. After the Trade School was founded, there was only one man to head the school; he is still on the Job. After his short talk, Mr. Ford shook hands and con- granulated each of the 122 graduates as he gave them their diplomas. Supt. F. E. Searle, com- mencement speaker, reviewed in his talk the basic prin- ciples upon which the school is founded. REASON FOR T. S. The school grew out of Henry Ford's own experience as a boy, said Mr. Searle. He was interested in the mysteries of machinery and was fascinated by the de- vices onh Is father's Ihrm.

Don't display the flag with the union, or star portion, down. 2. Don't let the flag touch the ground or trail in water. 3. Don't place any object on a flag covering a table on a speak- er's platform, other than a bible. 4. Don't use the flag as drapery. 5. Don't fasten it on the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle. When displayed on a car, the flag should be affixed to a staff and fastened to the chassis or clamped to the radiator cap. 6. Don't use a flag on a float in a parade, except on a staff.

Always Read Stories With an Open Mind Understanding is necessary to grasp a writer's thoughts. To get thorough knowledge of a page, one must study it non-parttally. Don't attempt to criticize until you have thoroughly read and ana- lyzed the argument the writer pre- sents. Unless complete concentra- tion is placed on the material on- ly partial benefits will result. If a person is to get full value from reading it is best to first scan the material; second, read ma- terial carefully, stopping to ana- lyze the statements; displacing anything you have read before on the topic. You then will be giv- ing fair Judgment to the writer's ideas.

It is rather easy to get a Job now during the present emergency, hut are you prepared to hold the Job when things begin to slew down. Usually after an emergency there is a period when Jobs become scarce. It is then that the per- sons with the most skill are re- tained. It Is important to continue ones education. A little study new may pay dollars tomorrow. Little Advancement in Store For Self-Satisfied Are you satisfied with your advancement? One reason why a person does not progress is that he is too easily satisfied with himself. How can he do hi 8 Job better when he thinks he is doing it well enough. Individuals want results, but dislike putting forth the effort to bring about these results. Or worse still, they are too satis- fied to desire better things for themselves. As soon as one thinks he is doing well enough, he has stopped progressing. Those who are successful seldom, in their cwn estimation, reach the top. The more they achieve, the greater their goals became. The big question is not ’’Have I done enough? , but In what direction am I going, and, at the rate I am going, what are my chances of get- ting there?

Occasionally an unsuspecting fellcw will attempt to quench his thirst. He bends over without no- ticing the spout and turns on the water. Immediately he is soaked. This isn't only a dirty trick on the drinker, but several machines in the vicinity have become rusted and had to be polished. This is also a breech of the safety rules because the ones who loaded the fountain are watching for sameone to take a drink anf are not watching their Job. Use a little sense and lessen the chance of accidents. —Leo W. Moore, T-A-l There are too many intramural letters in the Trade School. To an outsider there Is no dif- ference between an intramural let- ter and a varsity letter, yet, a boy who has earned a varsity let- ter has put forth many times the effort put forth by an intramural player. This wrong should be corrected. One method of correcting this wrong is to award medals instead of letters to intramural champions. --Varsity men Oklahoma to be exact, down where the days are warm and nights are chilly.

Henry Ford Trade School, said Jack, has benefited me far more than high school.

They are also drilled on decimal equiva- lents, tapers, and the cor- rect method employed in reading precision tools.

Because of the numerous attachments and cutters in- volved in the successful operation of the milling machine, five weeks are spent on its study. Abrasives and the prin- ciples of the various types of grinding machines are taken up in the sixth semester. SHOP SAFETY STRESSED Shop safety is stressed throughout the course.

After heat treatment is thoroughly studied the stu- dent is expected to know the purpose of the common- ly used steels and the heat treatment required to produce the desired physi- cal properties in them.
