Student Auto Mechanics At OSD Get Cheap Cars A sharp late model sports car for approximately $200? Impossible, you might say, if you think in terms of prices asked on used car lots. But not impossible if you happen to be a student auto mechanic at the Ontario School for the Deaf at Belleville which yesterday held its annual "open house" to allow visitors to see students at work in the various academic and vocational departments of the school. For instance parents of auto shop students are allowed to purchase damaged cars for rebuilding by their sons as a class project. It's good training for the boys and when the job is completed the student has a car of his own to drive. So far this semester three such cars have been rebuilt or are being rebuilt at the school. In one case, the parents of Paul Durand, a Belleville boy, purchased a sports car considered damaged beyond repair. The engine was still OK anc it was purchased for $175. HOURS OF WORK Then with hours of work and effort, plus a few parts which had to be purchased, Paul anfl his classmates completely restored the vehicle and now he has a sharp sports car all his own. Police have checked out the vehicle and pronounced it fit in every respect and now Paul is ready for the open road. Another such student-owned wrecked car has also been completed while students are still working on a third. Other wrecks are also brought in as "practice care" for the boys. But when the cars are student owned, the boys or parents pay for the paint and materials used on the vehicles.
