Tells HOW EXPERT
RIVETERS ARE MADE
John Wolf, Worlds Cham
piod Riveting Foreman
Lives at Holly Oak
SPENT Al YEARS
IN SHIPYARDS

John Wolf, who since his record
breaking drive on September i3, when
t9522i riyets were put in by his gang
at Hog Island. Is looked on as the
champion general riveting foreman OF
the world, is a resident Of Delaware,
living with his family at Holly oak
Many residents Of Holly oak have be-
come expert riveters under Wolf's
directions and are members OF his
gangs. Before going TO Hog Island
Wolf was employed at the Boston
Navy Yard and for 10 years previous
70 that he spent many years at the
Roach Shipyard, Chester. He has spent
forty-one out Of flfty-eight years In
shipyards. and when he talks about
building ships others listen with ears
wide open.
When the war broke out Wolf was
one Of Uncle Sans most valuable aides
in the shipyards. Mechanics had TO be
made in a hurry and Wolfe fltted into
that work admirably. Speaking Of his
work, the general foreman said:
Before the American troops over
yonder make a drive on the Huns they
make careful preparations. l follow
the same principle in getting ready for
a riveting drive. Riveters were as
scarce as monkey wrenches In q parlor
when Uncle Sam opened the ball in the
shipbuilding game. We've had TO make
them, that's all
Every one OF my forty-three gangs
Of rive.ers was as green as fresh pine
only a short time ago. got 'em from
our training school. I've worked like a
coal HEAVIER whipping this raw ma
terial into shape. and I want 10 say
right now there are no better working
buddies in the world. I'll stack my
huskies against the cream Of the famous
Scottish yards on the Clyde.
What is the secret Of the success OF
my gangs? Well, it's as simple as the
nose Of your face. The first thing l do
is 10 put my huskies next to the big
ic.a IN the shipbullding game. ! ham
mer it into their heads that every rivet
they drive is equal to a stout nail into
the coffin Of the Kaiser. In other
words, / make their part in this war
game seem so real that they pound
rivets like the boys over there pump
machine guns. When things opened up
had the holes all reamed and the
proper tools all in place. So when the
drive started we had a whirlwlnd start.
Morale is blamed important in any
game. / don't care whether it's solder
ing or riveting rivets, you've got TO
have boys mentally and physically Mt.
I aim TO keep my huskies standing right
up on their toes most OF the time. In
keeping the boys in a fighting mood I
am aided by my boss riyeter, Joe
Diamond, who has been in the game for
more than twenty years, and has work
