This Template
Can Be Useful
Device
By DOUGLAS TUOMEY

The do-it-yourself trend has
progressed to the point where
homeowners are now installing
pumps. generators and other
elaborate motor or engine driven
machinery.
This can well be understood,
since a small concrete founda-
ton with the proper foundation
bolts for holding down the ma
chine may run into $50 or more
when professionally built.
The average man can install
his own for approximately S..
AS most people know. any
motor or engine-driven piece Of
equipment has a certain amount
Of vibration when running. The
idea behind good solid founda-
ton is to tie the machine down
over a cork or rubber mat to re-
duce the vibration and allow the
unit to run smoothly and with
the minimum of movement.
The important thing in a
foundation. outside of strength
and a level top. is to have the
foundation-boltS properly spaced

bolts passed through with nuts
attached and the template set
on the foundation form. This
leaves the bolts hanging down
and accurately spaced.
The form can then be filled
through the space between the
template boards. If you are an
accurate measurer, naturally
you can lay out the bolt holes

Draft Boards Warned
OF Aircraft Industries
Need Of Engineers

Admiral D. C.N Damsey. USN
retired, president Of the Aircraft
Industries Association here, to-
day warned that local draft
boards must take heed of the
plight Of industry and the ma
tional security when considering
induction of young scientists and
engineers into the Armed Forces.
In an editorial for Planes,
ALAS official publication, he de-
clared that the critical shortage
Of engineers continues to grow.
He said:
"The number of engineers en-
tering industry in 1854 has been
less than one-half the number
required. In the face of this
gravity. the rate of induction by
Selective Service of engineering
personnel has shown a marked
increase during the past year.
Figures published by Selective
Service disclose that in the past
year the number Of occupation
ally-deferred registrants, exclu-
sive Of agriculture, has been re-
duced IS per cent"
He stressed that the United
States is in a critical race with
totalitarian powers for qualita-
tive superiority in air power,
and added: This Nation is
bending every effort to foster
the interests of young people to
follow careers in science and
engineering. We are pouring
them into a fountain of learn
ing for the national survival,
but many local draft boards are
seining them out and handing
them rifles instead of slide rules
for their trouble"
Admiral Ramsey added that
the aircraft industry. of course,
is in full agreement with the
need for the Universal Military
Training and Service Act in
"this age Of peril" 1T adheres
to the intent of Congress in
setting down the purpose of the
act that service in the Armed
Forces should be shared gen.
orally. in accordance with a sys-
tenn of selection that is fair and
just, and which is CONSTANT
with the national economy"
But, Admiral Ramsey added,
the Congress also noted in the
Act that adequate provision for
the national security required
maximum effort in the fields of
scientific research and develop
ment, and the fullest possible,
utilization of the Nations tech
scientific and other
critical manpower resources"
