The next time you light up
a smoke, stop, remove that cig-
arette, cigar, pipe or whatever
• from your mouth and replace it
with your thumb. Now suck.
Feel silly? But it's the same
basic action so why should you?
Smoking is more adult? Is it
really? I mean is it normal to
lay out good money to buy some-
thing to stick in your mouth
6 when your thumb will do the
sane job for you? Of course
not, after all smoking tobacco
calms your nerves and relieves
your tensions. The same as a
soother stuck in a baby's mouth
shuts him up quickly. See the
similarity?

Dear Auntie Maude -
I keep hearing about a place
called Ottawa. Where is it and
what goes on there.
' - Puzzled.
Dear Puzzled: - This interesting
city of some 20,000 people is in
LaSalle County roughly 80 miles
southwest of Chicago.
Father Louis Hennipin dis-
covered coal there in 1680 and it
was the scene of the first Lincoln-
Douglas debate.
Ottawa's principal industries
are the manufacture of plate
glass, building tile, fire brick and
agricultural implements.
Auntie Maude
Dear Auntie Maude -
I am in Grade 9 and realize
that I don't have much of a figure.
However, I like boys and am
willing to try anything to improve
my relations with them. What
can I do to make them notice me
- Lonely.

TI1E HURON' EXPOSITOR,
By Brian Drummond
On Friday, October .30 all
the Grade 11 students were bussed
to the Benmiller area where
under the direction of Mr. Ball,
and Mr. Onn, they tried to de-
termine the geological origins
of the area, the effects of glac-
iation and if it could be con-
sidered a possible Indian camp
site.
After the students were di-
vided into different groups, they
ran merrily through the driz-
zling rain to their starting points
where they measured the speed
of the river current, determined
the rate of erosion and studied
the rock structures and the vege-
tation. At many points we attemp-
ted to dig test holes to complete
the history parts of our question
sheets but were baffled and
thwarted at every turn by' the
rocky soil. •
Many rock samples were
taken from the area along with
one containing the lower jawbone
and teeth of a saber-toothed tiger
found by Leanne Melanson. An
Indian spearhead was found by
Jim Thompson and a hide-
scraper was found' by Herb
Broome. Many rocks were found
containing fossilized sea shells
and plants, few of which have
heft identified yet.
The river at this point was
extremely shallow (averaged. 6
inches) preventing any possible
drownings although the almost
continuous rain soon gave most
the appearance of drowned rats.

The tour was conducted by a
guide who drove a tractor which
pulled us around in carts. We
were all instructed to wear safety
glasses that Ford supplied.
To our left we saw the first
of the three train entrances into
the factory. In this section they
store and unpack that which
comes in on the railway cars.
Various parts coming in would
be such things as engines, steel
parts, hoods, trunk lids and the
like. Just past this is the area
where the body of the car is put
together. There are huge weld-
ing machines which do the work
in split second time. This is
one of the areas in. which the
safety glasses came into use
as the sparks from the welding
machines shot far out into the
factory.
Next we found row upon row
of parts that would be assembled
into cars. The guide told us
that these parts are used only
if there is an emergency such
as late shipping or strikes.
More large welding machin-
ery puts together the fenders,
roof, trunks and the other parts
of the car. This welding must
be done without any flaws. The
car body or skeleton contains
nothing inside at this point ex-
cept a steering wheel and a
dash board. The cars are car-
ried from one point to another
by large conveyor lifts.
The bodies are then sanded
smooth and sent to the paint
shop which unfortunately was
not included in the tour. When
the _cars come out they are
beautifully finished as far as
the paint surface is concerned.
The primer coats of paint are
put on with electric charges
which actually magnetize the
paint on to the body.
No car has any glass in it
as yet. There are various in-
spections the car must pass on
the assembly line before it is
permitted to go any farther on
the line. There is' 'a slip of
paper. on the car telling the men
installing the engines and bat-
teries and so forth which equip-
ment is to be put into the car.
This is so the wrong engine
doesn't get into the wrong car
for example.
fended by the local cottagers
habit of dumping their garbage
over the embankment where -it
could roll into the river and also
felt that it could be a dangerous
hazard but everyone was careful
and no one suffered from any-
more than we would from any
other eyesore.
After foot slogging all morn-
ing, it was a relief to be hi/wed
to the Benmiller Park where
we ate our lunches after which
we walked around the outside of
the closed knitting mill and tried
to peer in through the boarded
up windows. After this ,highly
enlightening experience, we
walked through the pouring rain
to the grist mill where the owner
graciously took us on a personally
guided tour of the building in
addition to allowing us to take
shelter on the premises for the
duration of the downpour.
When the sun finally came
out we scattered to explore the
new bridge, the mill pond and
the bank of the river and noted
the differences between this sec-
tion of the river and where we
were in the morning.
The busses carted us to the
school where we discussed the
days activities and agreed that
the rain, although an irritation
at all times, never prevented us
from attaining most of our
objectives and that we really had
learned a lot. Many hoped we
could do something similar in
the late spring, so I guess I'll
have to buy a raincoat.
The glass is now put In.
They get these articies from
the piles on the floor. The
car is now given a water test
to seek out any leaks there might
be. A black light is used to
detect these leaks if any. Wheels
and tires are put together in the
plant. They are then installed on
the car.
The- upholstery for the car
is made right in the plant. The
guide told us that it is cheaper
and faster for them to do it
themselves than to have it
"specially made and shipped in.
Styrofoam forms are used as
molds over whith a vinyl ma-
terial is put. The material is
heated and stretched. Heating
the material allows you to stretch
it farther, thus when it cools it
is firmer and tighter. There
are many designs of interiors
such as bucket seats or plain,
black or brown. The guide told
us that every combination, (en-
gine, colour, interior) are all
ready, individually ordered from
either the dealer or the customer.
In this plant both two and
four door cars are made. They
make only Pintos and Mavericks
in this plant. Approximately
fifty-six cars are produced an
hour. This means that almost
eleven hundred cars are manufa-
ctured a day. These cars are
stored in, a selective tower by
a computer.
The car now has the seats
and upholstery in. The head-
lights are added. A gigantic
wheel balancing machine is used
to align the front end and it
does so in fifteen seconds. The
car Is now taken off of the
assembly line and stored until
the completing inspections can
be made.
They keep tabs on various de-
partments on how they are stri-
ving to keep defects down. What-
ever department has the
lowest amount of defects at the
end of a three month period
gets a free dinner paid for
by Ford.
This tour lasted approxim-
ately forty-five minutes and was
extremely t teresting. I was
more than fascinated by the swift-
ness and skill the workers
possess. I would strongly urge
anyone whe had a chance to
visit Ford to do so.

The Fifty Commandments of
High School Behavior
(Stolen from the Students' Handhook )
Edited for General Audiences by Brian Drummond
(Continued from last week)
11. Thou shalt not waste time in class; just sign
out for the entire period.
12. Thou shalt not call the staff by nicknames
such as "Wild Bill, the Green Lizard or
Major Milk"; it does no good - they don't
know who you mean.
13. Thou shalt not deface or mutilate thy books;
five bucks is extremely useful on Friday
Night.
14. Thou shalt not fall asleep in class; it has
been proven that snoring has adverse effects
on teachers' tempers.
15. Thou shalt not clean thy feet before entering
the school; give the janitors something to do.
16. Thou shalt not loiter in the front hall; this
scares the Dean, he thinks you're plotting
a sit-in or something.
17. Thou shalt not loiter on thy way to class;
hurry, then if you beat the teacher there
you can lock her out.
18. Thou shalt not leave thy pop bottles sitting
on the tables in the' cafeteria; throw them
underneath the tables with the rest of your
garbage.
19. Thou shalt not talk during the announcements;
snore yes, talk no.
20. Thou shalt not ask Mrs. T. how to spell her
name five days in a row; it only leads to
trouble.

CLUB REPORTS
to a pretty successful start.
Under the direction of Mrs.
Tymchyshyn, the club consists
of about 30 girls. The only
thing lacking is some manly
tenors and bass. It seems that
the boys are either shy of girls
or consider singing a pastime
only fit for sissies. It's neither,
so come on some of you guys
and join the Glee Club. The
music is great and enjoyable
too.
JUNIOR FRENCH CLUB
The Junior French Club al-
_ though it has received no extra
help , is rolling along quite
smoothly. It is now oc-
cupied learning French songs and
a play to be presented sometime
this year to the student body.
We hope that though many of
the students are not bilingual,
this- will be an enjoyable event.
