NEW HOLLEY TOOLMAKER
William Wood First Trainee
To Complete Apprenticeship
Picture on page B-2
After more than four years
of intense learning of an exacting skill it was^a sweet moment last week' for William
Wood at Holley Carburetor
Company to receive the reward and plaudits as he "graduated" from apprentice to
toolmaker. And he got an on
the-'spot promotion with other
concrete earnings to go with
the satisfaction.
For Wood's employer it was
an occasion to remember
pleasantly, too. It marked the
first completion of require
ments in Holley's apprentice
training program now in progress at the Clare Aircraft Division.
When you stop to think that
Wood began-his toolmaking
apprentice course at the Henry Ford Trade School in De
troit before the war in 1941
and pursued it during employment at Ford's until he entered the miliary service, and
thetf 'resu#ef: the training m
later work iti the Holley plant
in-;; Detroit* '-*• - the answer
eomes up that he struggled
long ahd hard toward his goal.
Thursday there was a little
ceremony itfdund Wood when
Holley Plajflt Manager Harold
Sartdborn presented him with
a framed .certificate from the
Waited States department of
Labor to make his new occupational title of journeyman
teolmakete officiflliy in order,
Be- had tib&B&y' been designated a toolmter At his Sohjsmce
he completed the apprenticeship.
Holley did more. Wood's expenses of "$§24. representing
What he spent for the training
course tuition and for tools-,
were paid back to him in full
by a company check.
The training program is
guided and,administered by a
four-man "board" with two
representatives from hourly-
rated personnel, and two
from management here.
Holley's Clare Personnel De
partment Director, Lyle Skin
ner added his congratulations
for Wood's achievement.

Official's Disputed?^
Costs Clare Leagu^lWin
A disputed decision by
Clare - Durand football
game officials Friday night
on a disallowed Pioneer
touchdown ended the game
in a 13-13 tie and is the
subject of protest by Clare
school authorities to the
Michigan High School
athletic Association.
Ciare Coach George
Perry said that he sees
the incident as having a
possible effect on the outcome of the Mid-Michigan
B league title chase. While
there is small hope of reversing the officials' call
on the play, Clare wants
the record to show that
a play was called in ignorance of the rules and
the remainder of the game
from ihe second quarter
Was- played under protest
from the Clare bench.   ■
In the questioned play,
the Pioneers blocked a Durand punt where the Railroaders were backed up
ittside their own 20-yard
line and on a fourth down.
The ball caromed into Durand's end zone where a
Clare player fell' op it for
a touchdown.
In what Clare coaches
see as an outright miscall of the rule covering
the situation, officials
voided the six points and
brought the ball out to Dura-id's- 20-yard stripe
Where it was given to Clare
as- if a touchback. No
infractions or penalties
were called on  the play.
In Friday's only other
conference meeting, Ithaca
trampled St. Louis in a
49-0 rout to take  undis
puted lead in ^th'e. league.
