iu m e yearbook presenting the graduates of Henry Ford Trade School containing picture-pages of Faculty Sports Band, Glee Club The Craftsman Staff Prom Commencement P and volume seven of THE CRAFTSMAN. Superintendent Believes You are taking your places in a world unbalanced by strife and hate and lust for power the consequences of which will be appalling. Our very civilization is at stake and unless your generation develops leaders of broad vision, unswayed by political bias, the kind of life this country knows and loves will disappear. Never was any generation faced with graver responsibilities nor with greater opportunities. We who must turn these problems to you who must shoulder them wish for you the wisdom of the ages and the strength to hold steadfast. 4?. Seaule Superintendent 1 our aim for the last three and one-half years has been to complete the academic course prescribed by the Henry Ford Trade School. This you have accomplished. One that has attained a goal is note- worthy. It means that he did not quit. For persons who want success two things are important — (1) continue to set higher goals, and (2) see them through to a suc- cessful conclusion. For all of us these are troubled times. The setting of goals is far-fetched. But do not forget that even though the future looms dim, it won't hurt to be prepared for those opportunities which will surely come. Best wishes, Cj. 7. Personnel Director Shop Superintendent Says Today, because of foundations laid at Henry Ford Trade School, a host of men are holding key positions in industry and thou- sands of others have a trade. With the crying need for skilled workers in our National War effort, the contributions that Henry Ford Trade School has made and is making are more fully appreciated now than at any other time in the school's history. Highly trained men, whose values can never be discounted, are the results of time and hard work. My wish is that you con- tinue your hard work to complete your en- gineering training. Congratulations and best wishes. £. y.

H. Stocking Vol. 7, No. 1____Friday, September 19, 1941 The Craftsman Welcomes Students Back to School The first iesue of Volume Seven of The Craftsman welcomes you back to class. We trust that you had a pleasant vacation and are now ready to tackle your studies with renewed vigor. We also extend our welcome to the new faces that appear in the classrooms. Yes, we mean the G- boys. One tip to the G-boys: Hard work and concentration are the keys to success. Don't try to use any oth- ers. They will not fit the lock. Exertion Is Key to Lock on Storeroom of Success Success grows out of struggles to overcome set-backs. If there were no difficulties there would be nothing achieved. It is well, therefore, that men should be un- der the necessity of exerting them- selves. In this necessity for ex- ertion we find the chief source of all human advancement, the advance- ment of individuals as of a nation. Struggles have led to most of the splendid mechanical inventions and improvements of the age. In all departments of productive industry exertion is the moving power. It is deeply rooted in man, leading him ever to seek after, and endeavor to realize, something higher and better than he has yet attained. Sound travels quicker through water than through air. Bandleader of Tomorrow Must Study Today H' Someday I’ll have my own band, said Wesley Linderman, senior and clerk,fourth floor bench. It has always been my deeire to have a band of my own, but I euppoee it is like a million dollars, the first one is the hardest to get. Dancing, driving, and going to the movies are Lindy's favorite time-killers . Permission was given him on his 17th birthday to buy his first car. It was a black, '39, tudor. Ford sedan. You ought to see that car glit- ter now, boasts Lindy, from a plain-looking standard, she has blossomed into a sleek-looking black Ford with white walled tires, fog lights, fender lights, two Letters from Home Are Welcomed by Boys in Camp Many former Trade School boys are now in service in either the army, navy, or marines and would appreciate letters from some stu- dents . In return they could write back telling what is happening in their branch of the service.

At last an honest man has been found, almost...for you see it's a lady. The following letter was re- ceived at Henry Ford Trade School, September 6. Gentlemen: Labor Day we picked up a couple of boys who were hitch-hiking. Upon arriving heme, we dis- covered that one of the boys had left his watch in the car. Of course we do not know their names and this is all the information we have about them. That they go to the 'Ford Trade School', and I believe that they said that they lived on Richton Ave., and their grandfather lives north of Bay City. If you were hitch-hiking last Labor Day between De- troit and Bay City and if a car with a lady in it stopped and gave you a ride, and when you got home discovered your watch was gone, well, she didn't steal it. If you go to Mrs. H. L Morton, 2927 Canton Ave., Detroit, Mich., she will gladly return the watch to you. Camp Legion Superintendent to Be Guest Speaker at Religious Service Program SEPTEMBER 19.

Gentlemen: Labor Day we picked up a couple of boys who were hitch-hiking. Upon arriving heme, we dis- covered that one of the boys had left his watch in the car. Of course we do not know their names and this is all the information we have about them. That they go to the 'Ford Trade School', and I believe that they said that they lived on Richton Ave., and their grandfather lives north of Bay City. If you were hitch-hiking last Labor Day between De- troit and Bay City and if a car with a lady in it etopped and gave you a ride, and when you got home discovered your watch was gone, well, she didn't steal it.

Henry Ford as an educa- tor is to be honored at an alumni banquet to be held at the Masonic Temple, Sat- urday, Oct. 25, an the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Henry Ford Trade School. The school was opened Oct. 25, 1916 with six boys and one instructor. Henry Ford is quoted as having said at the time that the facilities of Ford Motor Co. should be used for more than to build automobiles - they should be used to educate boys. Since that time the school has graduated 5797 students. The Grand Ballroom, which will seat 2500 per- sons, has been engaged by Instructors Visit San Diego Schools S.D. Mullikin, of the Ford Aircraft School, and Theodore Killian, of the Ford Apprentice School, re- cently returned frem a trip to San Diego, Califor- nia, where they went to get information for Ford Airplane School Willow Run, which is to be oper- ated in connection with the Bomber Plant. While visiting schools, both public and private, Mr. Mullikin was able to get different ideas and to see Just how the schools are equipped and their method of instruction. Mr. Killian was inter- ested in finding out all he could about the wiring of the entire plane, which includes radio, electrical, and instrument work. While in San Diego, Mr. Mullikin and Mr. Killian met Walter L. Thatcher, a former Trade School in- structor, who is now vice- principal of the San Diego Vocational Schools. They also visited the Ford Fair Building. This building has been turned into an industrial school for National Defense. the Alumni Ccmmittee.

Thoughtless Students Disregard Safety Rules Once again it has been reported to the Safety Department that Trade School etudents are committing two infractions of the safety rules of Henry Ford Trade School. Firstly: running fresn the school to Gate 4. This is a dangerous practice. Large trucks, heavily loaded, are constantly milling about between school and Gate 4. You may be injured by being hit by a truck or car. Or else you may fall while running and seriously injure yourself. Secondly: boys have been reported throwing produce about. What right have you to threw produce at one another? If you don't want the vegetables why do you bother to take them? What would your parents say if they knew you were willfully wasting food? Be thoughtful in all your actions. Think before you act. THE CRAFTSMAN.

After confessing about the fruit stand hoax, Mr. Stoelting promised that this year Mr. Yerex would receive a good share of select Trade School melons. Last week a gardener was seen walking into Room 1 with a well filled bag un- der each arm. A smile broke over the face of Mr. Yerex. The melons. Trade School grown, had arrived.

Trained Chinese Help Revive China One hundred young Chi- nese etudents, who re- ceived their industrial training at Henry Ford Trade School a few years ago, are now using this knowledge to help revive industries of China which were wrecked by invasion. They are forming numerous small factories throughout the country for the pro- duction of many articles ranging from shoes to chem- icals. These young men came to the United States between 1922 and 1930. They spent several years In the Trade School learning engineer- ing and mechanics through a plan devised by Henry Ford and Joseph Bailie, a Californian, who worked In China as a missionary and engineer. The Ford trained boys work under the direction of Rewi Alley, a New Zea- lander, who first started establishing ’’vest pocket industries throughout the interior of China.

Ford Navy School Holds Open House Students and instructors of Henry Ford Trade School are invited to visit the United States Navy Service School at Ford Motor Co., Sunday afternoon, Oct. 26, and on Navy Day, Monday, Oct. 27, when the 1600 sailors will hold open house for the citizens of Dearborn. This invitation was extended to the Trade School by Commander W.E. Miller. The entrance to the Navy Service School is on Schafer Road, about one- half mile south of Gate 10. Navy Day, since 1922, has been sponsored by the Navy League of the United States, a group of patri- otic, public spirited cit- izens. The selection of Oct. 27 for Navy Day was based on two reasons. The first Navy Bill was introduced before Continental Con- gress authorizing 12 brigs, sloops, and other essen- tials for the first Uhited States Fleet, on this day in 1775. Secondly, this day is the birthdate of Theodora Roosevelt, who was one of the first to maintain that a strong Na- vy was adequate to our national need.

I want to take these boys, said Mr. Ford in discussing his p 1 a n, teach them to make small parts, Instruct them in •be operation of machines and while doing it, give tflem a sense of responei- bility by utilizing their P uct. i want them to 5® able to see a definite Purpose in their labor. I hope that in the fu- ture, heads of our depart- ments may come fresn this school. We like to devel- op our own stars, you know. We have found it is the only successful way. We promote men from the ranks, as the roll of the manag- ers of this concern will show. We hope to be able to do that with these boys. There will be no limit to the success which they attain if they are capable and energetic. We will try to bring out the best that is in them.

The momentue celebration planned by the alumni is praiseworthy. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Lessons in Etiquette Needed by T.S. Students The proper way to applaud is by clapping thfc hands together. Loud whistling and shouts are not the proper ways to show appreciation of songs. At a football game or in Brooklyn it may be all right to do so, but r.ot at a singing period. Think before you act. Hazardous October Noted for Accidents October has always been a high month for accidents. A few hazards which will serve as reminders are as follows: Playing football in the streets and driving fast on rainy days. Remember, Halloween will soon be here. Let's have a safe holiday. ____________THE CRAFTSMAN____________ Social Security Number Required for Employment Before seniors are employable by Ford Motor Co. or any other com- pany, they must have a social secu- rity number and a birth certificate. A social security number may be obtained at the Federal Building, Lafayette and Shelby, on Saturdays , between 9 a.m. and 12 noon. Birth certificates may be ob- tained at the Board of Health. Any seniors who were born out of the State of Michigan, may obtain a certificate by writing to the bu- reau of Vital Statistics at the capitol of the state in which they were born. It is recommended that seniore get their social security numbers before they leave school. Open Letter to Trade School Bear Editor: For seven months of the past year I have been on my back looking at the ceiling and the four walls. I've had time to think. New I've been back on the Job for a week and a half. This has convinced me that I am not strong e- nough to continue on the Job. Sun- day I plan to go to Pennsylvania to stay until I re- gain my strength. Mr Muller Before I leave, though, there are two things, that have been on my heart since those long days (one year and a day) spent in the hos- pital, that I want to say. First, a word to all Trade School boys, whom I have watched and ad- mired for the past 15 years. Boys, you are yet young, full of ambition, and have great hopes of becoming a success. Those are fine ambitions; best of luck. But in your effort, don't forget to look after the thing that many of us older people neglected - that is health. Work hard, play hard and clean, but get plenty of rest. Night time is made for rest. If I reach but a few of you by this note, I shall feel that my ef- forts are not in vain. Last but not least the instruct- ors and officials frem Mr. Searle on down have been splendid in their fellowship shown to me. If it were possible I should like to shake the hands and say thank you to every one, but as that is impossible all I can say is, thanks. It's great to have friends, J.L.(Dad) Muller Fourth Floor Inspector ------------FRIDAY, OCTOBER J Gas and Oil Consumptio, Cut Down With Helps Is your car hard ca Here are eight ways to save n 1.

This group, composed of 14 ordained ministers of the Mormon Church, was or- ganized a year and a half ago. Each member devotes two years to spreading the gospel by singing at vari- ous schools and masonic organizations throughout the country. The choir is then replaced with new members, with the excep- tion of the director, and its former members return to their occupations. Most of the selections sung by the chorus were arranged by Mr. Peterson. Have You Celebrated a National Holiday? There are no national holidays in the United States. Yes, strange as it may seem, the national government has no Juris- diction over the observ- ance of legal holidays ex- cept in the District of Columbia and the territo- ries . Each state, by legisla- tive proclamation, decides for Itself which holidays it will observe and the day that It will observe them.

Carelessness of Students Causes Loss of Thrift Fund Every year hundreds of dollars are lost by students falling to turn their bank books in on time. It Is Just carelessness on the part of the student. In order to be eligible for thrift fund you must deposit the money and have your book turned in at the office before the 12th of the month.

Committee Expresses Thanks We wish to express our thanks to all those in and outside of Ford Schools for their time and effort spent in making the twenty-fifth Anniversary Banquet the success that it was. Alumni Committee THE CRAFi SMAN History of Hallowe’en Dates From the Druids Hallowe'en is one of the oldest known festival days. Seme say that Hallowe'en originated while the druids were the religious leaders in Great Britain. In Brittany, the belief in fair- ies and superstitions in regard to the dead weave about Hallowe'en a spell that leads to same quaint rites. Milk is poured on graves; food and candles are placed on tables before the people go to bed, for the dead of the family are sup- posed to be wandering that night. The early Christian Fathers changed many of the old pagan cus- toms and gave them Christian sig- nificance, and the autumn festival a of the druids became the celebra- tion of all Hallow's Eve, the Eve .of All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. The colors for Hallowe’en are red, yellow, and black. Red for fire, always obnoxious to witches; yellow, signifying the golden harvests; and black for the demons at large and the ccming of dreary winter. In the United States, Hallowe'en is a time of merriment ana mis- chief. Henry Ford’s Quotes Displayed at Banquet These quotations by Henry Ford appeared on the walls of the ballroom at the Twenty- fifth Anniversary Banquet. ’’With one foot in the soil and the other in Industry, A- merica is safe. Success is finding the work we do best and doing it the best we can. It is the man who stops learning, whether he is 20 or 80, who is really old. To put in the hands of all people the means of a broader and more healthful life I don't know of a better purpose in life than that for anyone. Take all the experience and Judgement of men over 50 out of the world and there would not be enough to run it. Thinking is the hardest kind of work—which is prob- ably the reason so few persons engage in it. Joke Exchanges — Son: Dad, one of the boys in school said I looked like you.

To help students learn the successful operation hd construction of an automobile, autcmechar'cs was added to the curricu- lum of Henry Ford Trade School for the E- and B- cla8ses in 1927. Most of the alloted 70 hours for the course is spent studying the pur- pose, construction, and operation of the parts of an automobile. This is done with the aid of a series of lesson sheets prepared by L. J. Croteau,' automechanics instructor. Each sheet contains an ex- planation of the subject and a number of questions. Two cutaway Ford engines, a six and V-eight cylin- der, allow students to see the operation of all parts of the engine. The students take four shop tours to various de- partments in Ford Motor Co. They visit the motor, body, and car assembly lines; the glass plant; and the tire plant. B-class students study aircraft engines for one week which may be climaxed with a visit to Ford- Air- craft building. and other early Bostonian coins, ironwork for the first ship built in Bos- ton, the first American fire engine, and lead Inus- ket balls for use against hostile Indians were made in this metal foundry. The building, which was erected in 1636, consists of two full floors, a large attic, and five huge fire places. The oak beams weigh 40 pounds to the foot and, the floor boards are 20 to 23 inches wide. Broadhearth was financed by an English company formed by Robert Bridges, of Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1641.

Bowling, America'6 f a - vorite sport, has gone through many changes. It was originated in the early middle ages when con- ical shaped pin3 of bone were lined up and sheep's Joints were thrown at them. While in its infancy bowling was not regarded very highly, for in 1388 Richard the Second, o f England, enacted penalties against its being played. Early in the 18th cen- tury the Dutch brought bowling to America. The first officially re- corded match was played in Now York on Jan. 1, 1840 on the first inside alley.

In planning this banquet, Paul H.

At the dinner, the group will be welcomed by F.E. Searle, superintendent of Ford Schools, and a re- sponse will be given by acting chairman Harold Manchester, president of the Fordson Men's Club.

It is the duty of every loyal son of America to do his share in the National Defense Program. Perhaps you can't assemble a tank or an airplane, but you can buy defense stamps and bonds so other people can. Henry Ford Trade School bookstore has on sale defense stamps that fit the pocketbook of any student. . Do your part and Keep 'em Flying . Hats Off in School Proper Etiquette Hats off everyone. Stu- dents and instructors a- like. What for? For a passing parade? No. For the National Anthem? No. Just for pure politeness. Hat8 are not made to be worn indoors. They are made to be worn out-of- doors. Why wear them in the school halls? It presents a picture of ill training, both in the home and in the school. If you must wear a hat, 11 right, but let's wear that hat at the proner time. Sane men live in the basement of their being and leave the upper stor- ies almost unoccupied. Self-Centered People Needn’t Read This Lack of appreciation for the other fellcw is one of the greatest evils in the world today. Compliments don't cost the giver. Last week an instructor paid a group in the Trade School a generous compli- ment. The group knew that what he said wasn't en- tirely true, but still it made them feel good. They felt more like working when they knew that some- one appreciated their ef- forts. Make next week a Make Somebody Happy With an Honest Compliment ” week. It is an inexpensive prac- tice to spread a little cheer with a few kind words. Blame Only Yourself for Poor Grades He spoiled my chances for a good card, said one disgruntled student. Why? asked the second boy. Because he gave me a 'C', was his reply. This misled boy was blaming another for his own failures when he should have been studying to make up for the time he had already lost. You can't blame the other fellow for your own errors. The way to get good marks is to earn them. Modern Automobiles Low on Efficiency Detroit to St. Louis on one gallon of gasoline? Improbable but not impos- sible. The trip could be made, providing there was no loss of power due to friction or heat radiation in the automobile motor. The potential power of one gallon of gasoline is great enough to propel an automobile 450 miles, if means could be devised to obtain complete efficiency of consumption. It is a proved fact that the modern automobile is only 4.5 per cent effi- cient. Why can't the automotive engineers in- crease the efficiency of automobiles and save gasoline for defense?

Since its introduction 50 years ago, basketball has become as popular with the public as any other sport. To give ten mischievous boys something to do, the late Dr. James Naismith, Y.M.C.A, training instruc- tor in Springfield, Mass., conceived the game of bas- ketball. In 1926 more than 50 million dollara was spent for buildings designed chiefly for basketball. A year later there were al- most as many Teams in bas- ketball competition as in baseball. Today, more persons pay to see basket- ball than any other Ameri- can sport. M-A-l to Hold Skating Party Tonight at 8 p.m, the M-A-l Artisans Club will holi their skating party at Arena Gardens.

Commander Miller pointed out the armor and armament of our various raen-o'-war, from the tiniest torpedo boat to the mightiest bat- tleships. Discussing the possibil- ity of any power or combi- nation of powers attack- ing us, he proved b y statistics, that even with the help of Great Britain, our combined navies would be outnumbered by a coali- tion of Japan, Italy, Ger- many, and France until 1946, when our own three fleets will be complete with a total enlistment of (Contlnu9d on page 3) Green 'Blackboards’ in Aircraft School Among the many innova- tions in the 22 classrooms of the Ford Aircraft School are the green blackboards , called Nucite.

Surely you must know some of the boys that have gone to the Army, Navy, or Marines. The approximate cost of a letter is three and one- half cents. For this sum your letter can bring cheer, happiness, and entertainment to some boy in camp. The3e boys are in the armed forces for you. The least you can do is to let them know that you haven't forgotten them. Don't forget, if this 18-year-old draft bill is ever passed, it would not be long before a lot of seniors would be in camp longing for a letter from a friend back heme. Remember the boys in camp.

Into whose pocket does the profit go? National defense stamps are sold to protect the things that you and I and every other freedom loving American holds dear.

Inquiring Inquisitor lnquisitiveley Inquires Trade School boys must earn 60 credit hours in evening school to finish their high school work for a diplana. Is a high school diplana worth this effort, or would one profit more if he concentrated his full effort on Trade School work? • C. W. Armstrong, math instructor: If a boy in- tends to enter college he should get his diplana. If not he shouldn't, for much better technical ed- ucation can be had here. • David Owen, W-B-l: If a student wishes to bee one proficient in the use of English, which is not thoroughly taught here, he should attend night school. • W. E. Moore, transfer crib: If a boy ie at- tending night school to obtain a high school di- plana, which I think is worth the effort, he should give his best ef- fort as far as his Trade School work is concerned. •' Hugo Riebe, senior: A high school diploma fur- thers chances for advance- ment .

That's the song I often heard third-floor lathe boys of the Trade School chanting. I wondered what it meant. Now I know. The morning of my trans- fer frcm bench to lathe was spent studying the fundamentals and operation of the lathe. Then in the afternoon it happened. My instructor brought me a piece of metal and told ce to face one end and cen- ter drill. After finish- ing the piece I Joyously showed it to my instructor. After careful inspection he said, Nice work, now you can do the three bar- rels behind the cabinet. Carl Kiniria, T-B-l Primo Cusin, M-A-l, and Secundo Cusin, senior, are Italian twins.

S. Faculty YOUR DEPARTMENT IS NEWS ' Opportunities for self expression, the assuming of responsibility, the showing of initiative, the acquiring of poise, and the gaining of experiences in writing are open to stu- dents in the Trade School Journalism classes. Students on The Crafts- man staff write for ap- proximately 14,000 persons. No Journalism student is trained to became a profes- sional writer. It is felt that a student studying tool and die making will have increased opportuni- ties if he is able to put his thoughts on paper. Think You Can Better This Absentee Excuse? Odd absentee excuses have been turned in at the school office but strang- est of all, according to Raymond Speagle, clerk, was the one turned in by Clarence Penner, senior, three weeks ago. After a few days absence, Clarence turned his excuse in at the office. Mr. Speagle read it, chuckled, looked up, and said, Isn't this a little embarras- sing? It'8 the truth, shyly replied Clarence. The note read: Please excuse Clarence for being absent for the past four days as we were away on our honeymoon. Signed, Mrs. Clarence Penner. B- and C-classes study Journalism by the use of a work book containing space for newsDaper clippings, stories, sentence struc- ture, and dictionary work. A-class students are chosen for The Craftsman staff if they have shewn talent in the Journalism classes. They spend two hours every class-day writ- ing and editing the paper under the guidance of the editor, a senior. Assignments take report- ers to experimental depart- ments, various buildings, lectures, banquets, lib- raries, conventions, and any place where copy for The Craftsman may be found. Each year a group of staff members take part in a high school Journalism conference at University of Michigan where they at- tend lectures, discussions, movies, and dances. Events of Importance in the science and history of our country occured during the month of December. The Monroe Doctrine, de- signed to protect any coun- try in the Western Hemi- sphere frcm invasion by any European power, was proclaimed Dec. 2, 1823. Guglielmo Marconi, in- ventor of the wireless telegraph, sent his first message, the letter ’s', over seas from England to St. John's, Newfoundland on Dec. 12, 1901. Five new instructors, Audrey Boyd, James Har- rington, Joe Bogden, Jacob Kessler, and Anthony J. Sargent1, have been added to the Apprentice School faculty since last Sep- tember, due to the present national emergency. Audrey Boyd, storekeep- ing instructor for Navy students, has received a bachelor of science degree from Michigan State Normal College at Ypsilanti. He will soon receive his mas- ter's degree from the U- niversity of Michigan. James Harrington, draw- ing instructor, was gradu- ated from St. John's, To- ledo, Ohio. Mr. Harring- ton's former position was at the University of De- troit, where he taught drawing and descriptive geometry. Joe Bogden, Navy in- structor, graduate o f Wayne University, is now revising the syllabus of instruction for the Navy Service School and working on general publicity. Jacob Kessler, Diesel instructor, graduate of Illinois Wesleyan, is now preparing the new Diesel course for the Navy Ser- vice School. Anthony J. Sargent i, mathematics instructor, re- ceived his master's degree from the University of Michigan. Mr. Sargenti has served in the Army as a draftee and was released under the new 28-year-old law pertaining to men in the draft. On Dec. 16, 1773, a band of Boston citizens, dis- quised as Indians, boarded English ships, ripped open 342 chests of tea, and threw the contents into the bay. The Boston Tea Party was organized t o prevent the tax-heavy tea from being landed. Orville and Wilbur Wright built and flew the firet airplane, Dec. 17, 1903. Slavery was abolished in the last two states, Dec. 18, 1865. America became a free land for free peoples. December-Month of Many Historical Events Quints to Play Aces for Senior Intramural Basketball Championship Saturday Night Craftsmen Down Patterson Five The Craftsmen basketball squad won Its first tJlt of the eeason by trouncing Patterson Institute, 38 to 24, on the latter's court In Windsor, last Friday. Both teams played defen- sively throughout the first quarter whlich ended, 5-4, in favor of the Pat- terson Panthers. The lead was widened as the ftmthers broke through the Crafts- men defense In the next frame and the half ended, 17-12. Displaying fast footwork and smooth passing, the Craftsmen retalliated in the third stanza when a rally netted them 10 counters against the op- positior 's 5. In the final quarter the Craftsmen combined scoring power with a defense which enabled them to win the game. Lillord Cobb and Albert Lorente penetrated the me she 8 for 10 and 8 points, respectively. Paced by Matt Kuhnke and Bill Taylor, each with 7 points, the Craftsmen Re- serves were also victori- ous, 27-18. Football is one of the oldest popular outdoor sports known to mankind. The earliest records of this game show that it was first played by the Remans during their conquest of England under the leader- ship of Julius Caesar. One of the oddest foot- ball gamee in history took Piace in Chester, England during the Middle Ages. After a victorious battle over the Danish invaders, the townspeople in that vicinity decided to hold a football match. The foot- ball was the head of a Dane killed in combat. Football was not always a publicly favored game. In the 16th century Henry By defeating Leonard Shedd's M-C-4 Carcajous, 23-13, Alex Assad's W-B-2 Quints gained the right to play the T-D-l Aces, cap- Alcx Assad.

The Carcajous outscored their opponents i n the first half, 9-7. The Quints tightened defen- sively in the third quar- ter, blanking their foe while they scored two bas- kets which put the W-sec- ti on 2 points ahead. I n the final quarter each [member of the Quint's team scored. Three baskets were mafie in the last 28 seconds of play. the Eighth placed a ban on playing football. The first basic rules of football were wri ten and published in 1602 by Rich- a r d Carew, an English writer and authority o n sports. Since then there were few changes until Knute Rockne, king of the fighting Irish, became head coach of Notre Dame and introduced such inno- vations as the forward pass and fT formation. Knute Rockne once said, Football is a builder of men, not only does i t teach them clean sports- manship but i t teaches them to lose and still keep their heads up and come back fighting. Leading all the way, the Aces trounced Gus Schmidt's M-A-l Hell Cats, 16-9. Clarence Grubby, with 8 points, was the main scor- ing factor as the Carca- jous downed the Hell Cats, 18-13. In a later game the Hell Cate i were eliminated as they were swamped by the CarcaJ ous, 25-12. Scores of other intra- mural games were as fol- lows: Hell Cats vs Lions 26-19; Carcajous vs Spar- tans, 23-9; Hell Cats vs Carcajous, 25-6; Lions vs Spartans 21-4; and Carca- jous vs Lions, 22-12. High scorer for a single game was Frank Kot, W-D-3, with 24 points. Leading scorers for the season were Schmidt, with 67 points; John Peitz, with 53 points; and Sam McKee, with 52 points. W-Section Leading in T. S. Athletics Since Trade School In- tramural Leagues began six years ago there have been differences of opinions as to the strongest section in sports activities. W-section has won seven baseball and five basket- ball titles. The M-section is second with ten titlea evenly divided, while the T-section is last with one basketball and seven base- ball championships. In 1937 the W-section won three baseball cham- pionships; senior. Junior, and midget titles. The same feat was accomplished by the T-section in 1940. ieualitup flateA. P. 0.

Paul Quint, W-A-3, a mere 220 pounder, at- tempted to skate across a pend which was covered with a thin layer of ice. He received a good soaking. Although he was unable to swim, John Carruthers, W-B-4, Jumped from a 26- foot diving board into 12 feet of water. An alert life quard saved him from drowning. Herbert Price. M-A-2, climbed a 150 foot water tower. T he wind was strong at that height and Herb quickly descended. It was cold! The bus was nowhere in sight. As I stood kicking the fire hydrant to keep my toes warm I heard a car horn not far down the street, the door swung open and I ran to reach the warm in- terior of the car. I sat, saying nothing for a few minutes, gazing at the neat uniform of the driver. On his right sleeve was a white propel- ler and the letters U.S.A. Suddenly he shouted, Hey, Dirk, and immedi- ately I recognized, our own Everett Roney, alumnus of ’40, who is now a naviga- tor in the R.C.A.F. How do you like flying edge are a few of the fields opeued to you b y means of books. To provide all persons and departments with nec- essary reading material for both study and pleas- ure is the aim of the library. There are more than 7,000 books in the school library. Each book is classified as to type; such as, novel, history, travel, science, biography and others. There are I asked him. Boy, it's swell, he answered with real enthus- iasm. I'm flying in a Cessna now. They take us to an unknown spot and wo have to find our way back. We talked awhile about the boys at school. Thank Mr. McKay for the cigarettes, and if you see John Hutton, tell him you saw me, remarked Roney. I saw that we were ap- proaching my destination so I made ready to open the door. As I stepped into the street I heard his last words; words I'll never forget. So long, Dirk, I'll get you a Nazi. Dirk Wooetenburg lar with Trade School buy while Apprentice School student s uee mathemal1oa1 and mechanical book . Popular Mechanics, Time, Newsweek, Life, and Iron Age are n few of the 150 different magasInes in the library. The library la used dally by students of Ford Schools and Ford Motor Co., employees. G-olasses and some economies classes use the library regularly as part of their class work. A branch of the Trade School library is now op- erating at the Aircraft. School. Another will open soon at Ford Airplane School. Students working in the library must keep the books In order, record books leaving the library, and prepare now books and mag- azines for use by other students. When a new book coroes into the library it must first be classified ao to type. In sane cases the pages must be cut and stamped. Next the name of the book is recorded on four 3x5 cards which are placed in the card cata- logue for reference work. The book iu then ready to be placed on the uholf for circulation.

More than $300 worth of stamps were purchased. The conta- gion of the spirit seemed to spread «T throughout the school. In every classroan boys patri- otically displayed new stamp books. Victory is spelled by the willingness of all to lend a hand”. Next scholarship day and for scholarship days to ccene, last Friday's scene should be re-enacted. Don’t Swear; Use a Better Word There is an increasing number of persons in our school who are swearing and using the name o f Christ B a by-word. Boys enter- ing the Trade School out of k refined God fearing hemes are not pro- tected from this language. Opinions can be expressed effectively i n English without using an unneces- sary outburst of pro faiity. If you can't use God's name in love, don’t use His name in vain. Clean language is not only pleasant to listen to, but it also signifies pro- per breeding. Inquiring Inquisitor Inquisitively Inquires What was your greatest thrill?

Student Concentrates; Results Embarassing Close your eyes, relax, and concentrate. These are tactics employed by a few shop theory students. But the consequences are sometimes embarrassing.

He remembered reading some- thing about Hindus who con- centrated beat with their eyes closed. He decided to try it. Boy! This method i s ewell.

Wonder what that’s for? over the public address system during the lunch period, last Friday. Within 10 minutes the bookstore had sold $50 worth of Defense Stamps.

Lloyd Rumpel, clerk was sent to the Gate 4 pay of- fice to secure $50 worth of Defense Stamps. Before he could return, it became necessary to send Thamae McCall, clerk, for addi- tional stamps.

In explaining, Mr. Mit- chell added, The first was a stiff technical ex- amination which a large percentage of men applying failed to pass. Second he was required to pass a very thorough physical examina- tion. He passed with fly- ing colors in both cases. The Civilian Technical Corps represents a large group of democracy-loving American technicians who feel that by helping Eng- land In non-combatant work they will do their part to- ward the defeat of Hitler.

Many peculiar custans grew because of thie day. In France boys and girls put their namee on paper in a receptacle and then picked a name of the oppo- site 8 e x. Custom ruled that the sentimental bond should be kept for a year. With a slight variation, the Scotch adopted the policy of choosing as his Valentine the first pereon of the oppoelte sex that he met on that day. In 1667 the first com- mercial Valentine was de- signed. With the cost of sending mall low, the val- entine card grew popular. This cuetom o f sending greetings grew until today it includee the modern Chrietmas and New Year cards. Why Swear Do you ever stop to ponder When you take Cod's name In rain, Don't you know your morals weaken When your language la profane? Do you think you're placing emphasi a On anything you say, Do you think your friend’s admire you When you swear and curse that y? When you're In a big discuselon Sven though you're an the spot. If you'll stick to simple Ingllsh, You will find It help a lot. Swearing neve wins a battle. Though scar men might think It may, You'll accomplish more by speaking In a pleasant, gentle way. When the conversation's over. Could you say If you were asked. That you feel no condemnation When the arguesent Is past? Watch the aan 1 0 swears and curses. And I'm rare that you will find That he Just displays his Igiarmnee When he's In that frame of mind. Men will say, I lost my temper When they swear and curse and fight Anything that's lost Is hidden. And from view Is out of sight. If you're looking far the answer. And your heart It will cgnsole; What you lost was not your'tdkper, But a lack of self control.

The opening of Japan’s porta to world commerce by the American Naval Officer, Commodore Matthew Calbralth Perry, caused one of the greatest if a in history. For centuries Japan had kept her ports closed to foreigners. Shipwrecked sailors who Bought refuge on the islands were killed o r imprisoned. Foreign ships could not land for food, water, or repair. But Commodore Perry ar- rived July 14, 1853 with four gunboat s and 560 sail- ore and marines to offer the Emperor of Japan an olive branch in the form of a letter from President James Fillmore of the United States. In the following Febru- ary he again visited Japan taking with him acme of the wonders of the Western World. These consisted of a sewing machine, steam engine, railroad train, telegraph, and other In- ventions unknown to the yellow man. The Japanese were then convinced that their iso- 1 a t i o n was a mistake. They signed a trade treaty, and opened their porta to foreign ships. She is now willing t o believe the Nazis, when they make their claim that democracy is deca- dent . Now back to the great if”. IF Perry had not opened the doors of Japan, MAYBE Japan would be at home today. OPM Chief Explains Difficulties of Putting Airplanes on Production Basis Why can't we produce as many airplanes a month ae automobiles? What differ- ence is there in making a mass output of airplanee? These questions were an- swered by Merrill C. Meigs, Chief of the Aircraft Branch of 0PM, by a radio interview in Washington, D.C., Nov. 3, 1941. Mr. Meige stated that it took 25 years to perfect the technique of automo- bile assembly, whereas it is a little over a year since maes production of airplanes began. Airplane engines can't be produced on the assembly line at the same rate of speed as automobile motors because airplane engines are built with greater precision, and require thousands of tailor-made parts. The assembling of parts take endleee hours; the auto- mobile engine is ready for aseembly 35 minutee after it leaves the foundry. When asked if airplane production could meet fu- t u r e demands, Mr. M«igs replied, We can-and w e will.

Born Feb. 26, 1846, he became a pony express rliter at 17. The nick-name Buf- falo Bill was given to him because of the buffaloee he killed while providing meat for the men who were construeting a railroad. In 1882, Buffalo Bill was asked by the citizens of North Platte, Neb. to give a July 4 celebration. The celebration, which lasted three days, wae the forerunner of the modern rodeo. Entertainment in- cluded performances b y cowboys, Indians, bucking broncos, and the actual killing of a wild buffalo. Due to the success of the rodeo, Buffalo Bill later organized a Wild West Shew which toured the United State3 and Europe. WHAT BECAME OF THE BROADHEARTH FUND ? Dear Editor: About four months ago the Trade School sponsored a Buy-Broedhearth-Fund. To that fund the students and alumni donated $12,000. Later The Craftsman car- ried an article stating that the tewnsmen of Sau- gus, Mass, wished to keep the historic old structure. The same article said that the Alujmi Association of Henry Ford Trade School had agreed to sell and buy senething else. We have heard nothing of the money or the purchase. I am sure that others are interested in what happened to the $12.000. —Thrifty Answer; As has been stated, Henry Ford Trade School Alumni Association has agreed to sell Brcadhearth to the people of Saugus.

Members of the Boys Ex- ploration club took part 1 n plays,games, and other school activities. The club was discontinued when Mr. Bratton left in 1927,. With the paeelng of tiro, our world and its condi- tions undergo many changes. An example of this can b e found by com- paring the Trade School days of Wil- liam Teeple, alumnus and former Appren- tice School in- structor, with Father. iyt8 those of his son. Bill Teeple Jr., who has Just been enrolled. When Mr. Teeple was en- rolled in 1918, the echool shop consisted of seven stilling machines, nine lathes, six grinders, five drill pres see, ten shapers, and a bench department where boys made parts for Model T colls. When he was graduated four years later, the number of mach- ines had increased tenfold. In the classroom, F. E.

It wae like a coun- try school with everybody in one room. Every noon nour the boys had boxing matches in the middle of the shop.

All Things Arc Not What They Seem Don't believe everything you hear or see, especial- ly if you are driving near Camp Leonard Wood, Mo. That is the advice of a tourist who is rftlll dazed at the army’s tactics. While driving Into town, a woman was stopped at a bridge crossing by a sen- try who refused to let her cross, saying the bridge was officially blc m up. The woman, seeing the bridge in tact, argued with the guard.,but to no avail. At this monent she saw another soldier lying in the shade a few yards distant, She approached him and asked for help. The resting soldier said in a slew southern drawl, I'd like to help you s ’- am, but I can't. I've been dead three daye. What the woman didn't kno was that «ar manu vers were taking place.

L-ui' to Play at Home nstitute Program Henry Ford Trade School and directed by Red toveilo, will play for e Hone Institute, Tuesday, u ch 10, at the studl o of J-the Detroit News. This is not broadcasted. A new American flag was presented to the Ford In- dustrial School System in the cafeteria during the singing period, Feb. 25, by the Ford Industrial Ed- ucational Association. The presentation was made by Harold Seel, Apprentice School instructor and vice- president of the Associa- tion. Mr. Seel reminded the instructors and M-section students assembled in the cafeteria o f the advan- tages, instruction, and training based upon the democratic ideals which the flag represents. It is fitting and prop- er, remarked Mr. Seel, that the symbol of the Government of the United States, under whose protec- tion we thrive, be placed in a conspicuous location so that viewing it always we may be reminded of the great heritage we, as Americans enjoy. F. E. Searle, superin- Searle Speaks at Green Lights The brain needs prac- tice in understanding sim- ple operations and se- quence of operations, stated Supt. F. E. Searle before an audience of high school students interested in tool making assembled at the Green Lights pro- gram last Wednesday in the auditorium studio of WWJ- The Detroit News. Continuing, Mr. Searle said, Until the hand of the worker acquires this ddll, and it can be gained only by much repetition, he has no claim to the title of master workman. Wherever hand training is given, he emphasized that safety and orderli- ness be placed first. Con- fusion and litter have no place in modern industry. The third ideal to be stressei by him is accur- acy. In connection with accuracy he added that time must also be watched. $1500 Defense Stamp Goal Nearly Reached Although the $1500 goal was not reached, students purchased $1377 in Defense Stamps last Friday, the largest sales yet reached since the Victory Campaign begem eight weeks ago. This brings the amount of stamps purchased in the school to $5162.75. _____Placed in Library tendent of the Ford Indus- trial Schools, thanked Mr. Seel and the association he represents. He as- sured that the flag would be placed in an honored position in the school. The school library was designated as this spot. The flag was attended by two boy scouts in uniform, Raymond Spurr, M-E-3. and Verlin Kendrick, M-E-3. Ray led the assembly in pledging allegiance to the flag. PAGE 2. THE CRAFTSMAN.

BIG FAMILY - - Bellamy Partridge ‘This sequel to Country Lawyer , best seller of 1939-40, brings to you the life of a lawyer and his big and boisterous family during the 80's and 90's. The country lawyer lived with his wife, three daugh- ters, and five sons, in a large sixteen-room house. Occasionally the family would spend an evening in such actlvite8 as impromptu dancing, which sometimes shook the house until the Victorian chandeliere would sway dangerously from the ceiling. These and other charac- teristic incidents of this novel depict the oldfash- ioned family life of a day gone by. Irish Patron Saint Not of Irish Birth It’s a great day for the Irish and the wearing of the green I St. Patrick's Day, March 17, will find all loyal sons of Eire dis- playing their color and honoring their patron saint. But St. Patrick was not etn Irishman and xthere is no proof that he was bora on March 17. As no authentic records are available, many coun- tries claim the birthplace of the saint. Sane histo- rians credit March 17 ae the day of his death. But the spirit of St. Patrick is universally accepted even if proof is lacking. One legend tells how St. Patrick expelled all snakes frem Ireland but one. The Irish saint made a box and invited the snake to enter it, but the snake refused. After hours of persua- sion, St. Patrick induced the snake to enter the box. The lid was then closed and locked, and the box cast into the sea. To this day, according to re- ports, there has not been a single snake in Ireland. fYour Letters Are Welcome’, Alumni Dear Editor: I sincerely appreciate ycur sending me the Crafts- man.

Wooden School Crest Presented by Graduates A wooden model of the Trade School crest which was made by Edward Kachman, senior, is now on display ,in the school library. The crest was presented to the school by the W-A-l January '42 graduating class. Containing four kinds of wood, the heme-made crest took Edward 12 hours to complete. It has a cedar background with the torch and insignia made of ma- hogany and white pine. A rectangular piece of ply- wood inscribed with signa- tures of the W-A-l class hangs on a chain beneath the crest. Sugar Quota from for Each Person conditions (3) Allies are supplied with sugar (4) Profiteering i s being curbed. Rationing doesn't mean that there is no sugar but that everyone is entitled to an equal share. Rumors that a sugar shortage exists has caused many persons to start hoarding. Under a new Federal law, everyone will be asked to declare the amount of sugar on hand. This amount must be used before ration books will be iesued. On an average each per- son consumed between 64 and 4 pounas of sugar last year. The sugar ra- tion will cut this amount to 26 pounds. Last year the United States imported 4,453,000 tons of sugar from the Philippines, Cuba, and Hawaii. This year the im- ports will be about 25 per cent of that amount. - 5VST ' y nx rc o r -as - v_ St vavac r ve hsas fas rsf - rorj- -W Af£-£r AS . fiaoc r c eoss w 4 tu.£ e eo a. ’ Aoyfxflo Pe a PAGE 4 THE CRAFTSMAN.

If they strike you, don't get excited. Don't notify the nearest army j ost. Just keep calm, call your doctor, climb into bed, and darken the room. The attack of this army is net too sudden and after the first invasion you are usually immune to another attack. That is the way GERMAN MEASLES work. Defense Stamp Sales Drop 1 5 Per Cent Last scholarship day students purchased $1098.50 worth of Defense Stamps.

Schlichcnmaicr More than 24,000 persons will die in the United States as victims of auto- mobile accidents this year. This is revealed by a sur- vey of auto accidents and their causes for the past few years by Arthur Schlichenmaier in his book Six Foolish Drivers . This narration, wh ic h contains many true- life stories of carelessness on the highways, is built around six average drivers who were careless or fool- ish about things seemingly unimportant. The purpose of this book is to inform all drivers of the importances of the little points in driving. fliufiA. G uH Cna+tJzd. A toast to the Japanese Navy: Bottoms up. --Walter Winchell The Nipponese sniff every breeze--Save your wind! —Donald Duck FRIDAY, MARCH 20, Don’t Read This, It’s About April Fool’s Day Watch out! Don’t be a Poisson D’Avril. Gullible people have been taken in by practical Jokers for centuries, but April 1 did not became popular as a day set aside for tricksters until 1564. In that year, King Charles IX of France adopted the reformed calendar, making Jan. 1 the beginning of the year. The old calen- dar gave March 25 as the first of the year. Before this change, the populace of France cele- brated April 1 as we cele- brate Christmas. After the change, some indignent people presented fake gifts to their friends on April 1. Those who had forgot- ten the change in the new year were made fun of and called Poisson D’Avril meaning April fish, a young fish easily caught. According t o another theory, April Fool’s Day originated from the mis- take of Noah, who, on the first day of the month, sent a dove out of the ark before the water had abated. Those who are tricked on April 1 resemble the dove who was sent on his inef- fectual message. Although no real proof exists on the origin of April Fool's Day, most speculators agree that King Charles’ change in the calendar is probably the basis for the April fool pranks. 9nbio luc4 u}, • Six years ago Hick i T-E-2, bought a cheulstri set for one dollar.

First War Tank Used By British in 1916 One of the first princi- ples of war is to attack the enemy while moving un- der sane form of pro- tection. Vehicles of many types were constructed with that principle in mind but not until 1916 was the first successful machine built. It was given the name tank by the British to cover up the true nature of an experimental machine which was being secretly constructed in England. After the first appearance of the machine the name tank was retained. The first tanks were built in two types, male and female . Armament on the male tank consisted of two guns which fired six-pound shells, and on the female tank, four Vickers machine-g u n s . These tanks worked in pairs; the male tank had more property destructive power, while the female tank was known for its man-killing power. Dale, Onderko to be Officers R. J. Dale and J. J.

Class Instructors Express Their Views On Teaching Out of Regular Field Four instructors who are teaching out of their field this semester, under the supervision of B. A. Kazyak, math instructor, to obtain credits toward teachers' certificates, all say they like it. Here are their opinions: Fred Nicholson, mechani- cal drawing; I enjoy teaching trigononetry be- cause the work of grading papers is different fran drawing. Trigonometry problems are either right or wrong, but drawings must be graded indlvidualy. R. S. Yerex, chemistry; The change of teaching to mechanical drawing has helped me. It tends to get one out of a rut that one gets into after teach- ing the' same subject for several years. R. D. Weaver, chemistry; I have obtained a better view of teaching in gener- al since instructing trig- onometry. This will help me to do a better Job of instructing. Keith Glassley, physics; Teaching out of my field and being under constant supervision has caused me to do a better Job of in- structing. No person vol- untarily gives his best every minute of every day. If other instructors were under similar super- vision it would improve the claseroan instruction 25 per cent. I enjoy teaching mechanical draw- ing, but physics is the 'apple of my eye'. oc te eevroe: j tjvjt ro cai eot 7-jrMT ey 7M6 ££ ae ome e w e r ?j v GW PACK 4____ TH2 (SttJTSM . Sr FBXOAY.

It Is really dangerous to walk across Miller. Since January 1 of this year seven men have been seri- ously injured by speeding cars. Taking a chance by walking across Miller is not called for. Mr. Ford has built three bridges and a tunnel for the safety of factory men and Trade School boys. The four cost more than $350,000. For the past six weeks we have been advising boys to use the bridges and tunnel. It takes only 11 sec- onds longer to use them. Most have responded. Will you do this to help?

By water Japan will declare war upon the United States and within two years after their attack they will meet their match and be defeated near the Pelew Islands. This was a statement made by Hector C. Bywater in a book which he wrote 16 years ago. Mr. Bywater prophesled the defeat of the Philip- pine Islands. He said that within three months after the initial attack, mer- chant vessels would be sunk off the coast of Cal- ifornia and coastal cities would be bcenbed. He also said that the United States would lose a large portion of their Pacific Fleet, but within a year they would win their first major victory and that Japan would soon be de- feated. How To Get Things Done David Sea bur v and Alfred Uhlcr You can accomplish any- thing if you know how to begin. This is the theory established b y David Seabury, well known psychologist, whose devel- opment of a technique of accomplishment s through years of experiment is ex- plained in this book. Mr. Seabury deals with simple human problems and the application of hie technique to them. Nothing about his routine is tricky or mysterious. To understand and apply it to every day living requires only caramon sense. New Easter Clothing Is Traditional Fad There Is something new m er the sun. In fact, everything is new: new suits, new 3hoes, and new hats. Yes, Easter is here. Easter derives its name from Eastre, the Saxon goddess of spring. Because of the contro- versy over the proper date, the Council of Necea, In 325 A.D., decided that Easter should be cele- brated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equi- nox. The early Christians celebrated Easter as a thanksgiving which usually lasted about eight days. Today most churches com- memorate it by holding elaborate services. The Bermuda Lily, symbol of purity, is used extensive- ly for decorations. Persons still practice the old superstitions and customs symbolic of Easter. Your new suit is an out- growth of an old supersti- tion that it was unlucky to wear old clothes on Easter Sunday. In Derbyshire, England, it is a common custom to gather at the t own and drink from a cup contain- ing a mixture of water and sugar or honey.

At least, under the circum- stances, it was. Bill McMuller, Trade School graduate, June '39, now etationed at the Navy Pier, Chicago, was in need of something to occupy his leisure time. Five of his buddies felt the same way, so Bill placed an ad in a Chicago paper. The ad 3tated that a group of sailors had no one to v hom they could write. It was signed The Six Sailors . During the following days more than 300 letters containing in- vitations to parties, din- ners, and shows arrived at the Navy Pier. While heme on leave, Bill spent most of his oime answering letters and arranging dates. Perhaps the sailors now wish they had a little more leisure time.

If the weather is favorable, po- tato planting will start next week. The aims of the garden Program are: To create an appreciation for the per- son who grows food; to ed- ucate boys in gardening; to create an appreciation for the whole saneness of fresh vegetables; and to create an understanding of how industry is directly dependent upon agriculture. The garden program, sim- ilar to the system used last year, will include D-, E-, F-, and G-class students. Two groups of five to twenty-five boys will go to the garden each day; one group in the morning and the other in he afternoon.

April 17, 1941 Changes in Library Helpful to Students Rearrangement of the library is a benefit to Trade School students be- cause books] can now be! readily ob-i tained without, disturbing others, and] reading is made easier by the increase of natural light. The change has also provided space for 200 magazines and 2000 new books. Librarians should be credited for their efforts in making these improve- ments. Courtesy Essential for Good Character A chain, it is as strong as it link. No a chain CHA said, is weakest matter how strong is built if it contains one weak link then the rest of the chain is -weakened i n COURTESY strength. Character is like a chain; a chain consisting of links of truthfulness, courtesy, trustworthiness, self control, courage and industry. One cannot have a strong character if he is weak in one of these links. A person maybe truthful, courageous, trustworthy, have self control, and in- dustry while riding on a street car or bus but if he is lacking in courtesy, the weak link, then the rest of his chain of qual- ities is of no value. 'EM) Treasure Below Commander Edward Ellsberg Commander Edward Ells- berg, who has specialized in construction, diving, and engineering of subma- rines, has written a story based on the adventures of a submarine, the S-53. Phillip Ramsey, commander of the S-53, an ex-navy submarine, realized that he and his crew were tak- ing a big chance when they recovered the Spanish in- gots of gold that lay in a sunken ship on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. On the return voyage the submarine broke down and stood on her bow in the middle of the ocean. Although written as a fictious narrative, this story could be true be- cause every incident has been checked against known submarine procedure. Up and At ’Em Lieut. Col. Harold Hartncy Development and partici- pation of American wings, pilbted by such aces a9 Eddie Rickenbacker, Frank Luke, and Raoul Lufbery, are traced by this Canadi- an born ccoibat pilot. Needless delays, official blunderings, and sabotage are all part of the .obsta- cles that had to be over- come by the American Air Service during the last war. Throughout the book this suggestion rises: How much better prepared arc we new than in 1917? The author attempts to anewer this question as far as air power is concerned. Bicycles Streamlined for National Defense You’ll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two. This fa- miliar theme of the gay nineties may soon be heard again in a modern manner as America takes to the two-wheel carriage. Bicycles may soon be mak- ing their !way back on the streets of many American towns. This inexpensive means of travel saves tires, gasoline, and other defense materials. In 1097 more than 2,000, 000 bicycles were built. During the next ten years, however, the horseless carriages challenged the bicycle. The automobile then claimed the road. A new phase of the bicy- cle era began in 1936 when bicycling became a health and recreation craze. In that year the nation's output of bicycles exceeded a million. But in 1942 only 750,000 bicycles are to be built, according to present gov- ernment regulations. The new bicycles will become defense streamlined as all unnecessary equipment will be removed. By this method the new victory model will save about 30,000 tons of metal each year. Bicycle tires will also meet war regulations as all tires will be made from reclaimed rubber. 9 1942 T A 2, who grinder, profee- • Carl Kiniria, runs an 0.

Courtesy Is Base of Good Character An engineer appreciates the importance of a good foundation. If he is building a skyscraper, he must build frc? rock and make [cheerTnessI sure the first [court ESVl floors can support the rest. Character, like a sky- scraper, needs a good foundation. The character foundation consists of am- bition, honesty, courage, cheerfulness, and courtesy. While riding on street cars or busses a person has numerous chances to build a strong character by acting courteously at all times. Armies on Wheels S. L. A. Marshall America's strength lies in the great industrial centers that are now pro- ducing tanks, planes, trucks, tractors, and motorized units for every purpose. Hcwever there lies a great weakness too. For modern war is fast re- turning £0 an old pattern, with the important indus- trial centers taking the place of medieval for- tresses. It will be to protect or to destroy such centers that the great battles of the future will be fought; and in America we are not yet planning effectively for the pro- tection of these indus- trial points. This is a statement made by S.L.A. Marshall, author of this book and war ana- lyst for The Detroit News. Mr. Marshall writes that today, as never before, a clear understanding of the defense program is the vi- tal responsibility of every American citizen. Id, a Mattesi ajj tfact During the last 3400 years there have been only 227 years of peace. Since 500 B.C. there have been 902 major wars. World War I was bigger than the other 901 combined. In Napoleon's war there was 1 soldier to 1 factory worker; in World War I there was 1 soldier to 5 factory workers; in World War II there is 1 soldier to 18 factory workers. ---Sprag FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1942 UelA pec ™ Ijeu A bloody, rutted battle- field and a courageous wo- man Inspired the greatest relief society that the world has ever known. Florence Nightingale's efficient care of the wounded in the Crimean War of 1853-56 prompted Henri Dknant, a Swiss Journalist, to write a pamphlet on how the sufferings of wounded soldiers could be lessened. This pamphlet resulted in an International confer- ence at Geneva, Switzerland where the principles of the International Red Cross were accepted. After many failing at- tempts, Clara Barton, an American, persuaded Con- gress in 1881 to Issue a charter for the American Red Cross. This relief society, Is active during peace time in relief of the poor; in first aid to regions stricken by flood and hur- rican, and in public health activities. During war time soldiers receive garments, bandages, and hospitalization from the Red Cross. Recently a blood plasma bank was formed to supply blood used In transfusions. To help further this work, the Trade School Is presenting a spring concert at Fordson High School Auditorium, Sunday, May 24. All funds derived fran the concert are to be given to the American Red Cross. 9 ™ unior PI IT -Bill Keegan, W-D-3, more than 30 hours water earning his Junl“ Red Cross life saving emblem.

Nimitz for ccessfully attacking and stroying enemy ships in s own and enemy waters. Ccmmander White, after graduation from the ade School, enrolled in rthern High School. He ter entered Annapolis al Academy from which was graduated in 1927. Iis first assignment was the crusier Denver and •er on the aircraft car- r Lexington. On this p he became commander of guns, his turret lead- ing the others in accuracy. Seeking more action he enrolled in the submarine school in New London, Conn. After completing the six- month course he was as- signed to the S -53, a- 219 foot-class submarine, as a navigating officer. Four years later he was promoted to executive officer, next in charge undtx the captain. Commander White's exper- iences while in the Navy are many. While serving in the Nicaraguan Campaign he was captured by an enemy who placed a pistol to the Commander's stomach and pulled the trigger. But the gun failed to fire.

We had gone to the shelter but when their basket had been emp- tied we were out on the Job for we knew that the whole place was lit up. We found that the easiest way to put out the incen- diary bombs was by putting clods of soil over them. You probably understand that they fall about two feet apart, and the light and heat is intense, al- most blinding, and you have to work hard and fast for a while. AIR RAID SAFETY PLANNED Mr. Weaver then concluded by saying that if students are prepared, an air raid of incendiary bombs would do little damage.

Everyday op- p o r t uni ties face students where courtesy can be used to good advantage. Acting politely new will help them build a good reputation. Trade School students who ride the D.S.R. have a good opportunity to form a strong character. Their actions on the busses leave an lmpreesion on other passengers. This impression, good or bad, reflects on the school. It aleo reflects upon the character of the student. Don’t Be Afraid Edward Spcnccr Cowles, M.D. Did you knew that eight out of every ten surgical operations are unnecessary? That most persons suffer- ing from stomach troubles, appendicitis, heart and other common diseases are not sick at all in the usual sense of the word? These are the startling statements made by Dr. Edward Cowles in this stimulating book. He tells how most ills are caused by worry, anxi- ety, and emotional strain which often lowers the body cell resistance to the point where bodily functions are seriously disordered. Unconscious fears often cause chronic fatigue as well as posi- tively painful complaints. Dr. Ccwles also explains the cause of these fears and how they may be over- come . This fatigue of the ner- vous system can imitate all sort8 of diseases; it can cause blindness, deaf- ness, paralysis, crooked legs, and withered arms. pexualbi j UsuA • Smoking_________________ Ten million dollars a day gone up into smoke. This is the staggering figure of the nation's tobacco habit for the past year. Yet, this does not include the cost of sick- nessess, layoffs, and even deaths resulting fran the tobacco weed. In the booklet Truth About Tobacco , Virgil E. Finnell explains the fol- lowing facts about smoking. There are more than 16 different poisons in tobac- co smoke including nico- tine, pyride, pyrol, am- monia, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen s u 1 f ide. These poisons act upon one's constitution; the heart is weakened, the efficiency is lessened, and the span of life is shortened. Cancer of the mouth is also known to have started fran the little white ulcers caused by smoking. The present concern of the tobacco habit is the fact that during the past few years smoking has be- come the common habit among children of public school age. Medical au- thorities have proved that girls are effected by smoking more than boys as the woman's nervous system is more highly organized than a man's. Cost of tobacco amounts to more than $3,600,000,000 annually. With our coun- try at war, part of the expenses could be paid with the money which disappears in clouds of smoke. On the CrdUcVi'l Preston Slosson, histo- rian who spoke at the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association's con- vention at Ann Arbor, pre- dicted that the present war will not end until 1944. Ford News, the monthly magazine published by Ford Motor Co., has been dis- continued for the duration of the war. The weekly menu posted on the cafeteria wall is popular with the students. They seem to enjoy their meals more now that they know what they're eating. The Craftsman a toothbrush should have is like ; e v e ry bod y his own.

One of Is balloons has traveled 75 miles. Ed usually spends Sunday fternoons making gas frem water, and scrap alum- lum pieces to inflate his Ive cent balloons. Not ving any pressure gages trusts to luck as to w great the gas pressure lould be within the bal- an. But he isn't always cky. Sometimes the pressure bee ernes too great and the balloon bursts. All of Ed's balloons are tagged with his name and address. A person who finds one can then write a letter to him telling of the balloon's location. Recently he received a letter from Dick Hetzel, an 11 - year-old boy who lives on a farm in Carey, Ohio. 3h the letter, Dick wrote: The balloon was as big as a grapefruit. As soon as I brought it into the house, it burst. Imagine, it came 175 miles. This to Ed's knowledge, is the longest distance that any of his balloons has traveled. Ed wants to send up big- ger balloons but he is un- able to buy them due to the rubber shortage. Edward Kachman George Schultz John Lesnek . . Jack Korb . . .

M. Wagener, shop theory instructor. To meet the present de- mand for designers, he added, schools, more than ever before, are teaching mechanical drawing, shop mathematics, machine oper- atibn, and heat treat. However, Mr. Wagener be- lieves that after the war most men who specialized in one phase of designing will be shunted into other lines of endeavor while the first class designers will restore the refriger- ator, automobile, and countless other domestic needs to a production basis. Trade School students, believes Mr. Wagener, be- cause of their wide exper- iences, have a big advan- tage towards becoming tool designers, but a greater knowledge of drafting room standards and practice is necessary. Ford Navy Busses Carry 150 Sailors The fleet of four Ford Navy busses, which carry sailors over the two-mile route from the Navy bar- racks to different depart- ments of Ford Motor Co., carry approximately 150 passengers each. Booster Stickers, Designed by Michael Murphy, M-D-l, Go on Sale in Bookstore Because of persistant demands of students for booster stickers, an emblem has been designed and printed and is now being sold in the bookstore for 10 cents. The design consists of a lathe, micrometer, caliper, and a square symbolizing industry; and a chemical flask representing science. The school colors of blue and gold farm the color scheme. Michael Murphy, M-D-l, created the design which was drawn by his sister, a commercial artist. To apply the sticker to a car window, first soak the sticker in water to remove the paper on the back and then place it on the glass. PAGE 4. -THE CRAFTSMAN.

This year the enrollment of summer students is ex- pected to reach 300 per- sons. This figure i s 8lightly lower than the enrollment last year due to the increase of defense Jobs and also because of the students attending the summer college courses which have been inaugurated to aid in the war effort.

Their efforts made the con- cert a success in two ways. First, they made possible the presentation of $622.65 to the American Red Cross; and secondly, they pre- sented a well-balanced program. Persons who get behind a program which is pre- sented for a worthy cause are helping our country win this war as well as providing satisfaction for themselves in knowing that they are doing their part to protect their freedom and democracy.

Rivals on the Mound Ralph Henry Barbour For an exciting base- ball mystery novel, Ralph Henry Barbour's latest, Rivals on the Mound is a home run an any reader's list. This tale of action and mystery in an authentic p r e p-school atmosphere follows the lives of Jack Keloey and Herb Kroy, top- notch moundsmen and rivals for pitching honors at Cooper Lake Academy. Herb' s ability as a pitcher was overshadowed by temperament while Jack s pitching could be depended upon in a pinch. Jack's friendship with a mysterious bearded stran- ger adds to the story a note of mystery which is thoroughly explained in a climax which brings the rivalry between Jack and Herb to a true test. been proved by government figures that boys in camp write three times as many letters as they receive.

Dear Editor: Luck has been with me for the last few months. As a re spit of a rare break, I was promoted to the rank of corporal on March 6. Since then I have had offers to attend Officers Training School and Intelligence School. I have turned these down for flight training and after receiving the final approval since I first ap- plied for It 16 months ago, I have practically made it an obsession. So far I agree entirely with the life I am leading. Especially so, now that we are living in tents. I get a lot of exercise and enjoy California weather immensely. Sincerely yours, Corp.

To meet thie demand the D.S.R. has announced that passengers will have a little less room . When riding the D.S.R., therefore, we should real- ize that it is our patri- otic duty to maintain an orderly conduct.

This statement was made by Raymond Gram Swing, of the Book of the Month Club. For this reason it can be acclaimed as the most im- portant political and ed- ucational book to come from the American press for a long time. This book describes Latin American policies, prob- lems, and leaders. It also contains a valuable chart giving in condensed form the population, ex- ports, imports, and racial composition, and other vital information about the 20 Latin American countries. Engineers Rank High on Success Ladder According to the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation of New York City, the chance that a person with engineering training will rise to an executive position in in- dustry is now 30 times as that enjoyed by non-engi- neering graduates. Engineers are, or have been, governors, members of state legislatures, members of the cabinet and have held other political poets including presidency of the United States. This should be good newe to all Trade School and Apprentice School studente. Ford Engineering School, a continuation of Ford Apprentice School, has courses in engineering which are open to all Ap- prentice School graduates. Qua 9 Abiuctasu • Keith Glaseley, Roy Yerex, and R.
