ty. Some years ago the trustees
were done away with by law, and
since then the home has been under
the management of a superintendent
and matron, appointed by the COM

DEMAND is REPORTED FOR
WELDING ENGINEERS

Morgan county boys interested in
technical fields might well consider
welding engineering as their voca-
ton, say Ohio State University en-
gineers. The only college in the
country offering curriculum and
degree in this field, Ohio State last
June had it's first welding engineer
ing graduates. The four completing
their work at that time had their
choice of 200 jobs All four are now
in defense work, one in the army,
one in the navy, and two in in
dustry.
According to James R. Stitt, as
sistant professor of welding engi-
neering at Ohio State, industry is
increasingly dependent on welding,
and the demand for trained men
will continue in peace-times as well
as in time of national defense.
