Students learn to reason
during -machine shop course
BY T. E. SHORE
Since the dawn of time Man
's- has used t'ols to.help him to
survive. Many of the earliest
types Rf tool are still used to-
day. maybe not in the original
form, but certainly in principle.
Since the Dawn of Time then,
the machine age has gradually
progressed and developed to the
present day, which can be call-
ed the age of the push button
and the computer.
The machine shop trade then,
is a very old trade that dates
back nnany. Years, but also it is
a very new trade in that much
is being accomplished and will
be accomplished in the next
decade of technological ad-
vancement. ,One of the first
major tools used in machine
shop dates back t� the year 1740,
while the newest machine is
just coming off the assembly
line as a new and,advanced
numerical controlled machine.

Not only does this age de-
- mand technical advancement
it also demands men who think
and work in terms of technolog t
In order for our society to supply
the necessary personnel we
must have the facilities and
personnel to sttyt with and then
expose them to technical as-
pects and concepts.
The subject Machine Shop is
being offered for the fiat time
in Wingham. We hope to ac-
complish much in'this new shop.
Our program is presently a
four year program. There are a
number of basic skills that need
to be learned. One must keep
in mind that we are not prepar-
ing students for aj ecific job
in industry; 1e are preparing
students to think and to reason.
Education is not training. Edu-
cation is the equipping of the
individual with the tools, the
capability and the desire to con-
tinue his personal and profession-
al development beyond the Sec-
ondary School level. During
the first year we try to develop
in the student a sense of respon-
sibility, and a desire to manip-

uiate and to use all of tus ta-
cilities. The strident learns
through his senses. He leans
by participating, by applying
what he has learned. He also
learns by watching the teacher
perform skillfully the operations
of the trade or techniques of
the job. Practice at the various
operations is .a valuable tool of
learning. This is where project
comes into play. The project
is the vehicle by which these
basic skills may be learned.
The project is the vehicle
through which education takes
. place because it not only pro-
vides a means of practice, but
it relates ,in a small way to the
real world in which we live.
In the second year more
machines, more operations and
more advanced theory of ma-
chine shop technology is intro-
duced.
The third year is the most
important year for any, boy in
a machine shop. It seems to
be the age when a boy .can
readily grasp•arid develop the
various skills he has learned
and developed in the earlier
grades, because he has passed
the awkward stage of adoles-
cence that hindered his devel-
opment. 'More self confidence
is evident during this stage of
,his development.
After having developed the
various skills in the third year
he can then move in to the
final year and then be expect-
ed to work with confidence and
without extensive supervision.
Research assignments on the
various new developments can
be given to enrich the boys
learning and understanding and
to enlarge his scope or vision
of what is being accomplished
in the field of machine tech-
snology in the real worad into
which he will finally_ findhis
livelihood.
TO MAKE RUFFLES
FOR' THE • TURKEY
Paper ruffles on the ends of
the turkey drumsticks not only
look'attractive, but allow the
carver to grasp the sstritmstick'
while` carving. '' The' eltpert r,
carver will tell you that he nev-
er needs to touch the bird with
anything but the fork, but the
novice sometimes has to be less
fastidious.
To make ruffles cut a hole
in the centre of small doilies
and slip over the bony end of
the leg and fasten in place with
a bit of sticky tape or ribbon or
use a fringed frill of waxed pa-
per or aluminum foil,

French department
employs five
Ianguag� fedche
Though Rech has been alp
ways taught at our school it was
raised to the status of a full Ile'*
pant -Intent almost eight years
ago and has slowly but steadily
enlarged. It now .consists of
five teachers of French and is
proud to have an office of its
own.
Our department is responsi»
ble for careful planning of the
French courses, developing and
discussing objectives and new ,
methods, making decisions On
improved classroom procedures I.
and trying in many ways to
meet the needs of the students
and the members of the depart-
ment. ,,ta
We appreciate the co -open-
ation of our librarian with whose
assistance we can order French
books for reference and indi-
vidual study. Students always
have a chance to listen to
French tapes and records in the
carrels. Further, every effort
is being made to use audio-
visual 'aids --record players,
tape recorders, overhead pro-
jectors --to promote ' ndiomatic
pronunciation and fluency in
the language. We also plan to .
use the lab facilities for addi-
tional benefit of the French
students.
Cooking Q
large turkey
Here is a question which
comes frequently Co the Poultry
Products Institute: "We always
have a big turkey of 20 to 24
pounds and we like to have din-
ner at noon but I hate having to
get up in the middle of the
night to put it in the oven. Have
you a solution"? Yes!
Prepare the turkey, leave it
unstuffed and rub it with soft
fat, cover with a loose tent of
aluminum foil or a fat -moist-
ened thin clean cloth. Chill
the bird thoroughly. Place in
oven at midnight and set the
oven control to come on at two
a. m. , set the temperature at
250 degrees F. and go to bed.
If there is\no oven clock; set
the temperature at 250 degrees
F. and turn the oven on when
you put in the turkey. Cheek.
ro ess in morning, Baste
if necess and tiriue cook
ing.. An hour before turkey 1s
cooked, place casserole or foil
package of dressing in oven and
if using a tent of foil, . remove
it so bird e ay brown. Boost the
temperatur "`t 5 degrees F.
if the bird does no seem to be
browning rapidly enough.
Mathematics concept has
changed in past len years
E. AN1$ON
The changes in the Mathes,
Matics programmes in Ontario
have been even sere pronoun-
ced than the changes in school
buildings. Back in the nineteen
fifties there were #ve grades in
most district high schools and
eve mathematics courses; with
a few commercial arithmetic u
courses as well. With the ad-
vent of the Robarts' . Plan with
its multiplicity of courses, has
grown until in 1968, in the F.
E. Madill Secondary School,
there are s ix teen different
courses taught. These range
all the way from the "prepara-
0,',
tion for University" type eotttss
of grade 13 to the very piractical
mathematics taught to students
in the Occupations classes.
The impact of the so-
called:
"New'Math" is not at prones.,
eed in the secondary soboo . as;
most people think; certainly
not as much aria the elemen-
tary4chools. Rather, the ap-
proach to teach► mathematics
has changed from the concept
of teaching a group of rather
disconnected topics in different
years to a method whereby an
attempt is made to integrate
these topics into a single inter,
lated' body of knowledge.
Ten steps to safe driving
The following are -the 10
most important things safe driv-
ers do to avoid accidents and
protect themselves and their
passengers against injury:
1. Keep both hands firmly
on the wheel --at 10 and two
o'clock—and both eyes on the
road.
2. Never tailgate --allow
at least one vehicle length for
every ten miles per hour of
speed,. Use the Timed Interval
Formula.
3. On wet, snowy or icy
roads, reduce speed well be-
low posted speed limits, de-
pending on the severity of con-
ditions,
4. Always signal intentions
--turns, lane changes, passing.
5. Curves require special
attention --slow down before
entering, then apply power to
wheels. Be alert for oncoming
cars; they often cross the centre
line.
iitoV
6. Never pass on hills Or
curves.. On straightaways pass
only when positive the way is
clear.
7. Don't drive after heavy
drinking. After moderate
'drinking, allow one hour for
each ounce of alcohol consum-
ed before driving.
8. ' Keep the car' in good
operating condition, especially
brakes, tires, steering and
front end suspension, front and
rear lights, -mirrors, turn sig-
nals, wipers. muffler and exr
haust pipe. ,1
9.: Always fasten safety
belts and lock car doors.
10. Drive defensively; be
ready for the unexpected; know
what to do to avoid an acci-
dent; react in time, ..
Observance of these 10 steps
by drivers' will cut down by 90
per cent their ciiances of being
involved in car crashes.
