Production Men Next

Training of men in welding
and those who are taking in
struction in installation of wir-
ing. tubing and cabling is made
a separate task. A wooden
dummy has been made of the
two sections which will be built
at De Soto and those in the spe-,
ciaiized lines will get practice
on the dummies. Those special
izing in communication will re-
ceive bench training.
AS soon as the supervisory
force finishes its course, there
will Immediately follow a course
for the production force. 1t is
not certain just when the actual
production of the medium
bomber parts will begin at De
Soto, but the trained staff will
be ready for it soon. ~
Old and young, the former
auto workers are learning new
tricks for the changeover to
defense and whatever the post
war period brings. whether the
auto industry sticks to plane
manufacture or goes back to
making cars, the personnel will
be there.

Old Auto Workers
Learn New Technique
for Defense Work
BY SILER FREEMAN

NOT ONLY are existing tools
and plants OF the automobile
industry being adapted to de-
Tense. but the personnel of the
Industry is being changed over
and adapted to the new tech-
nique." In every corporation,
"old timers" and new timers"
are going back to school.
Even experienced die makers,
many with a quarter OF a CEN
fury experience in their trade.
are learning new tricks. For
example, in the forge plant OF
the Chrysler Corporation where
aluminium forgings are being
turned out, the hammer men
have gone over from steel to
aluminium. The result has been
gratifying to the company off,
Gals.
There is quite a gap between
steel forgings and aluminium
forgings. Steel holds its heat
for a long time, can be forged
at wide temperature range ana
softens or hardens gradually.
Aluminium alloy. however, al
lows range of only about 30
degrees for forging, as it loses
heat quickly. Too cold, it be-
comes brittle and ruptures; too
hot, it flows too freely.

Specialized Training

A supervisory force is being
trained for the manufacture OF
fuselage sections of the Martin
medium bomber at the De Soto
Warren avenue plant. Each or
the 100 men in training will be
an expert on the particular
operations which he is studying.
and before he teaches them to-
others. he will have performed
them in a plant where the
operations are actually done.
Feremen, general foremen and
inspectors are being trained. The
new technique and the fact that
they are working in different
metals from what they have
been accustomed TO in auto pro-
duction have made their course
a tough one. They have been
shown the behavior of various
metals and tools, the mechanical
jobs of drilling, riveting and
welding, the reading of blue
prints and the problems of as
sembling airplane parts.
Such a seemingly simple item
as drilling a hole is very inn
portant because all holes must
be exactly at right angles. ~

Often Disastrous

Success among those higher
up the financial scale often
proves disastrous, In one or
other OF these ways:
The recipient OF increases in
salary sometimes adopts a costly
scale Of living. on the assump-
ton that he will continue 10 adj
vance and advance. He and his
family become not only deter
mined 10 keep up with the
JoneSes' but indulge in unwar-
fanted ostentation, in living be-
yond their means. Very often
a day Of reckoning arrives.
Even more tragic is another
success Pitfaii. Men of ability
become so obsessed by ambition
that they dedicate their whole
time and thought TO their
climbing. their ,money-making.
TO the neglect Of their domestic
life. Where divorce does not re-
suit. frequently the children.
robbed Of parental attention and
guidance, cause trouble and sor-
row.
/ know many men falling un-
der these two catagories.
After all. il is infinitely bet
ter 10 achieve success in the
business of life than merely 10
achieve success IN the life of
business.

Prices Steady

NEW YORK. Dec. During
November, the Amott. Baker

manned unchanged. after 16 COM
secutive months of advance. The
Average price per $1,000 bond as
indicated by this study was S316
on November %. the same figure
as was shown on October 81.
Actually, the detailed figures
showed an increase Of about 70
cents per $1,000 bond. but this
was not sufficient to show any
percentage change. as the average
is always given TO the nearest
dollar.
The advance in the first II
months of l94l is 12i2 per cent.
based on an increase from 1881
on the last day of 1910. All SUBJ
divisions of the average show an
increase in the year.
In the past 30 days, the trend
has been mixed with a strong
indication that selling for the

has amounted 10 considerable

Amer. Can Net
Seen Sc Share

NEW YORK. Dec. 2-The in
crease in volume of business of the
American Can Company during
1871 over 1910 will very likely be
sufficiently more than to offset the
higher tax and wage costs which
have been affecting the industry
the past year.
While il is too early for a def
mite estimate, the best current APP
praisal of the situation points to
net income for 1871 amounting TO
between Sc and $3.50 a common
share, after preferred dividends.
This would compare with S5.88 a
share in 1910.
The tin container industry's
volume this year will be at new
high levels. Sales of American
Can Company will probably top
the S250,000,000 mark. against
S197 100000 in 1910, the previous
record. However, the industry is
one way or another paying 10 per
cent more in wages than in 1910,
and of course the l941 tax bill has
cut heavily into earnings available
for stockholders.
