Trying to teach machine shop
work without metal and lumber work
without wood is the problem which
faces school officials here this year.
Reserve supplies of manual train
ing classes are dwindling, according
to Lawson j. Cantrell, assistant ST.
perintendent in charge of vocational
schools, and wartime conditions per-
init no hope of replacement. Cop
per wire already is missing from the
electrical shop courses and only "a
little bit" Of alloy steel is available
for machine shop work. High school
art metal classes are functioning
with kind of sheet iron" instead
OF copper, brass and bronze.
The lumber classes are repairing
and repainting already completed
school fixtures rather than making
new ones, Mr.. Cantrell said. Paper
is being used for layouts in the ma
chine shop instead Of metal, he
added. and is just as good, except
for the actual experience of solder
ing metal together.
Called Good Training"
I'VE are going long way toward
teaching the students conservation
and making things last said the
assistant superintendent The boys
have been soldering tiny pieces of
metal instead of big ones and SAL
vaging metal for new uses.
Mr.. Cantrell said the schools
still do good job" OF turning out
competent craftsmen, however.
The students are still getting
good training" he declared I'VE
are changing courses to put in the
materials we can get and we are
reducing the amount of actual
working experience"
The officials regret, he said, that
the BOYS and the girls who are now
permitted to take vocational school
work can no longer bend as many
joints" and make as many tunnels"
as they once could do in the school
shops. But the teachers are making
the best of the situation, he said,
and are managing to teach con-
servation on the side"

This has restricted use of lumber

One Bright Outlook
The only bright outlook" officials

zinc-Coaied Steel
Soon May Supp|ant
Copper in Pennies
EorIy Congressional
Authorization Foreseen;
Silver Sole Bill Begged
~ the Associated Press.


One-cent pieces will be minted OF
steel coated with zinc to free copper
for war industries as soon as Con-
gress passes pending legislation per-
hitting the use of substitute mate
rails for small coins.
The bill already has been ap-
proved by the Senate and now
awaits House action. In anticipa-
ton of its early passage, the Treas
ury has experimental with several
copperless pennies, and of1icials re-
ported yesterday that zinc coated
steel seems the most successful SUBJ
stitute.
At the same time, the admins
tration was reported to have aban-
doned hope for passage at this ses-
sion OF legislation which would au-
thorize the Government to sell some
of it's silver to industry for consump-
tive uses.
The Senate Banking Committee
has scheduled a hearing Tuesday
but interested legislators pointed out
that would leave less than five weeks
for the bill to pass through the COM
mittee and win Senate and House
approval over determined opposi-
ton OF lawmakers from the Western
silver States.
Senator Green, Democrat, of Rhode
Island introduced the measure
which is Endorsed by Senators from
silver manufacturing districts. II
authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury, with the approval of the
chairman OF the War Production
Board, to sell unpledged Govern
ment-owned silver for uses mot in.
consistent with the war effort" at ar
average price Of not less than sc
cents an ounce.
Treasury officials said there now
are more pennies in existence than
ever before. despite the fact that
war needs for copper recently caused
coming Of the one-cent pieces to be
suspended temporarily.
Before the suspension, the Mint
had been turning out pennies at an
unprecedented rate-more than a
billion last year alone.
However, increa sed spending, an
increase in vending machines and
odd-cent pricing methods, plus sales
and excise taxes. have increased the
demand for pennies.
