Pattern Making

Pattern making is a very good
trade and while learning it the boy
acquires the habit of doing his work
carefully. The first thing to do in
making pattern is to study the blue
print, so that you will get an idea of
what the pattern will look like when
finished. Then take your measure
ments from the blueprint and get out
the lumber to be used. After plan
ing the lumber and saving it to the
desired length and width, lay out the
drawing on the pattern if it is a one
piece pattern and then work the pat
tern into shape with different ma
chimes. A few of them are: planer.
band saw, buzz planer, bench saw and
sander. The sander is wheel about
IL inches in diameter covered with
sand paper.
One of the most important things
nApattern making is to be sure to
have draft on the pattern so that it
will draw oht of the sand when be-
ing nodded The draft means that
you have to have the pattern so
many degrees smaller at the end or
side so that it will draw. After you
have the pattern shaped to the desir-
ed measurements, the pattern num-
bers must be put on.
These letters are from 3-16 inches
to liz inches in length. They are
made of lead and can easily be
bent to fit round pattern. The let
tiers are smoothed up and fastened on
to the pattern with shellac by means
OF an iron heated over an alcohol
lamp. Some pattern makers use a
putty knife to put the letters on,
while others use bent nail driven in
to wooden handle.

Makes Patterns

I work in the pattern shop and like
my job very much. Reading blue
print is made easier for me because
l take mechanical drawing in school,
In making pattern you get your
wood the required size and then
square it. When you have that done
you lay out on your wood the shape
you need with compasses and gauges
and then work it out with your tools.
When that is done you sandpaper it,
put your letters on, and shellac it.
If you want to use the lathe YOU
square your wood and center it on
each end. If you are using hard
wood you should drill small hole in
the ends where it is conferred, so that
when you put it in the lathe it will
not split. Then set your calipers the
thickness you want it to be and the
dividers the length. Then start the
machine and turn your wood down
to the right thickness and length.

Learning to Make Cutters

Before the opening of the schools
last September, | was wondering
whether | had better go to school Oh
keep on working. Some people told
me that I had better remain where |
was, as I was earnill g a good wage
for boy; others told me that if they
had had the chance. to go to a trade
school when they were young, they
would have taken The opportunity.
So | decided to ente n the Vocational
School at Fairbanks Factory.
At that time did not know much
about tools, so they set me to work
in tool crib where I was to wait on
the men and sharpen cutters, drills,
etc. l stayed in that place about
two months. Then / was sent to the
tool room where | cut racks with a
machine. Afterwards I worked on a
lathe, making pinion bearings; on
shaper, making forging dies; on
drilling machine; on a power saw and
on bench lathe. Now. I am learning
to make cutters, taps and loop mil
lers.
l am very glad that I came to this
school for during the last eight
months have learned more in the
school and in the factory than could
have learned in two years in the place
where | worked before.

Good Place for Boys

When we first went to work for the
Fairbanks Company we signed a con-
tract to stay with them for four
years. The scale of wages is: 12
cents an hour for the first year; 16
cents an hour for the second year;
20 cents an hour for the third wear
and "a cents an hour for the fourth
year.
The first week l was here l learned
a very valuable lesson. One of the
boys through his own carelessness
was injured. That taught me to obey
orders and to be careful. l was soon
put down stairs grinding loops and
cleaning paint out of them. A little
while later was transferred to No.
"a, the tool crib. There | had to wait
on the men and grind and sharpen
tools. | learned there that l had to
be polite and courteous to all the men
that I met.
The Fairbanks Vocational School is
good place for boys. They can go
through the shop and when the four
years are finished they will have a
good trade, so that they can go any
where and earn good wages.

The Students Under the Instruction
of superintendent Steward
Make Good Progress

st. Johnsbuly Vocational school at
the Fairbanks factory is making fine
progress. 1t is helping many boys
to learn a good trade and at the same
time not negIk,cting their education
along the lines of English, mathe-
mates and bus mess methods. The
students becom,, greatly interested in
their work and appreciate the oppor-
tunities offered them in selecting a
vocation for which they are adapted
and fitting them selves to take it up as
a life work.
The keen int crest shown by the
boys on the pros sress they have made
since September under the instruc-
ton of Superin ltendent Stanley J.
Steward, is show IN in the following
articles written by the students:
Taught to Run Miller
When I first entered the Machine
Shop was taught to run miller. A
miller is a machine I lsed for reducing
stock to the require size. A shoe,
an instrument, which holds the work,
is placed on the mac hine and clamped
down. The stock is then put into the
shoe and fastened securely. Some
times the sample is put into the shoe
to set the machine up by. The cut |
tiers are put on to an arbor which is
put into the spindle of the machine.
An arbor is an ms, Iument adjusted |
to the machine for holding the cut
tiers. When the stock is finished on
one side, it is milled on the other.
When the work is finished it is sent
to another department and the ma
chine is carefully cleaned ready to be
used again.

Aims to Teach a Trade

The aim of this Vocational School
is to teach US trade and to educate
US. We go to school half a day and
work the other half, and the school
work just fits in with our shop work.
Instead of paying the company for
picking up information the company
pays us because we're working while
we're learning.
The work in this school is similar
to that in the Academy but we do
not take foreign languages and sing
ing because those subjects would not
help Us much in our business life.
My experience did not last verv
long because when l started was
under age. That doesn't mean |
skipped in and told them I was IA.
The superintendent said if 1 was in
terested enough that I could go in
and he would see if l could stay.
When he told me that l couldn't
work any more I wasn't discouraged
but kept coming to school and | shall
be working again before long.

Representative Japanese deplore

to criticise the government for it's

The participants in mass meeting

The belief is expressed here that the

PARIS, May 8-The following of
fetal communication has been issued
The Supreme Economic Council
held its sixteenth meeting May 5 al
10 a. m. under the Craftsmanship OF
Lord Robert Cecil at the Ministry Of
Commerce.
Proposed blockade measures to be
adopted in the event of Germany re-
fusing to sign the peace treaty:
"The Council considered plans
which had been formulated to bring
about the complete economic isola-
ton of Germany in the event that the
German delegates should refuse to
sign the prelminaries of peace. The
blockade section was directed to
draw up and submit for the approx
al of the Council of Foreign Ministers
a plan of blockade measures to be i'm
mediately put into effect should the
associated governments desire to
have recourse to economic coercion.
Removal Of financial restrictions
of trade with Germany.
"Upon recommendation by the fin
ancial section, the Council decided to
make the following relaxatiops of
financial restrictions of trade with
Germany pending the signing of the
peace treaty:
First; the financial list to be sus-
pended Gf this has not been done
already and announcement to be
made that neutrals are entirely free
to extend credits of any kind to Ger
many or to its nationals.
Second; that German-owned cash
balances and bills already in neutral
countries are freely available in pay
ment for imports.
"Third; that the proceeds of ex-
ports from Germany may be freely
available in payment for all kinds of
permitted imports.
Fourth; that the financial section
shall have discretion to grant licen-
ses for the export of gold and securi-
ties from Germany in payment for
imports, on application from the Ger
man authorities.
Fifth; that the above be COM
municated to the financial commits
sion at Villette and to the committee
of neutral financiers, and that their
suggestions be invited as to what
further relaxations are desired by
them.
"Control of traffic on the Danube.
"The Council considered again the
question of the control of naviga-
ton on the Danube and it was decid-
ed that this control should be placed
under one authority. A
subcommittee was appointed to ex-
pediting the re-opening of CONNER
cial and relief traffic on the Danube"

Americans prosecute Japan in every
thing, while wearing the mask of lib
erty and fairness, the Hochi Shimbun
charges the Americans with having
melted the Chinese to make the Sc
cret treaties public and also accuses
American missionaries of fomenting
the Corean instruction.
The Yorodzu Choho says the Amer
leans responsible for attempts at an
tl-Japanese legislation are nothing
better than barbarians, that their ac-
tons are more despicable than those
of the Germans, whose barbarities
they attacked.
"Hypocrite," "despot," transform
ed kaiser" "man with the voice of an
angel but with deeds of the devil"
are some of the epithets applied by
the newspapers to President Wilson.
The newspapers print articles ac-
cuslng Americans and British in
China with exciting the Chinese to
the recent Chinese-Japanese agitation
In Peking, based on the Japanese vic
tory at the peace conference on the
question of Shantung. The aim is de-
clared to be the roofing out of jap
ans superior rights in China and
substituting their own influence.
At a meeting of the Kokuminto
party, held in Osaka, a resolution was
passed declaring that recognition of
the Monroe Doctrine by the League
of Nations should be interpreted as
recognition of Japan's predominance
in the Far East.

ed nationals freedom of transit
through her territories and to accept
the highly detailed provisions as to
pre-war debts, unfair competition, in
standardization of roads and riv-
ers and other economic and financial
clauses. She also agrees to the trial
of ex-Kaiser by an international, and
of other nationals for violation of
laws and customs of war, Holland to
be asked to extradite former emper-
OF and Germany being responsible for
delivering the latter.
The League of Nations is accepted
by allied and associate powers as OPP
erative, and by Germany in principle,
but without membership. Similarly
an international labor body is
brought into being with permanent
Office and an annual convention. A
great number of international bodies
of different kinds and for different
purposes are created, some under
League of Nations, some to execute
peace treaty. Among the former is
the commission to govern Saar Basin
until plebiscite is>. held Is years
hence. The High Commissioner of
Danzig, which is created into a free
city under league and various COM
missions for plebiscites in Malmody,
Schleswig and East Prussia. Among
those to carry out peace treaty are
Preparations, military, naval, air, finan-
cial and economic commissions. In
ternational high court and military
tribunals are to fix responsibilities
and series of bodies for control of in
ternational rivers.
Certain problems are left for So
luton between the allied and associ-
ated powers, notably the details of
disposition of German fleet and
cables, former German colonies and
values paid in reparation. Certain
other problems such as laws Of air
and opium, arms and liquor traffic
are either agreed to in detail or set
for early international action.
