Jobs for June

WHh increasing demand for ma
chinc tool operators. the question
frcaacnty arises as to what Young
maN should study to prepare himself
tor career III this field.
Fundamentally. the YOunS man
mast have a natural mechanical
aptitudc. There IS no point III
framing a voun1 man to become
a machine tool operator who has
no interest in working with his
hands and who docs not like and
enjoy working with machinery.
If this aptitude is present his
course OF study can be rather clearly
defined
He should specialize in machine
shop practice. This rather broad
subject is TAUGHT IN technical hich
schools and gives familiarity with
the basic principles of machine
tool operation.
II would be well, in order to dcVcl-
op his natural aptitude for tho
mechanical 10 an even greater dc
cree. to take some manuel training
which Gives him a manual dcX-
tcrltV
He should also have KNOWLEDGE
Ot mechanical drawing and of blue
PRINT reading. tho former will in
crease his facility in tho practice
of the latter Much of the work
which a machine tool operator does
comes to him in blueprint form.
Unless he can read blueprintS with
facility and accuracy great part
of his value is lost.
The young man should also
study as much chemistry and
physics as possible While this
has no direct application to ma
chine tool operation. II does ciyo
him knowledge of the scientific
principles which undcrlie certain
phases of machine tool practice.
This may ecm rather theoretical
to como bit our experience has
shnWn that the high school grad
uatc who has this knowledge of
physics and chemistry has a far
better background for the me-
chancal trades.
Fer hI> General information and
background I would recommend
that he take a much as he can

extracts from letter written by

a letter which was later published
by his commanding officer in the
hope that its contents might brine
comfort to others, one paragraph of
which is particularly applicable.
You must not grieve for me, for
if you really believe in religion
and all that it entails, that would
be hypocrisy. I have no fear of
death, only a queer elation I would
have it no other way. The universe
is so vast, SO ageless that the life
OF one man can be justified only
by the measure of his sacrifice. We
are sent to this world to acquire
the personality and character to
take with us'-the fine spirit OF
sacrifice and devotion to a cause
so expressed is truly indicative OF
Mrs. Huston's character. The serv-
