PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1848 New Institute Sets High Standard For A rising standard cf efficiency in all auto maintenance work is the . object of the Garage Mechanics . Apprentice Course opened recently at the Ryerson Institute of Tech- nology, Toronto. Since the war and its unprecedented demand for uniformly well-trained mechanics, © the Garage Operators' Association 7 of Ontario has been actively en- gaged in 2 search for methods which will assure up-to-date effici- ciency. In co-operation with both provincial and dominion govern- ments, the association set up ma-. chinery for an intensified course of training which is available to all apprentice mechanics. At the pre- sent time," it is understood, the course is the only one of its kind, not only in Canada, but in the whole of North America. The new system of apprenticeship in Ontario which began in 1937 re- quired mechanics to have five years experience in the business at the end of which time they were asked to pass an examination which led to a full-fledged auto mechanic's diploma. Following that came the demand for certification of appren- Mechanics tices. However, this system was purely voluntary and many in the trade ignored if. In 1944 the provincial government decreed that all mechanics must have certificates and to get such a certificate it was necessary to prove that five years had been spent in the trade. There was no examina- tion, and the training received under such a system was seldom complete since few garages have full training facilities. It was felt that opportunities should be provided for training, in all branches of the trade, for each and every individual undergoing training. The present course provides such training for apprentice mechanics in that prov- ince. It is divided into two cate- gories, a basic course of three months to be taken in the appren- tices' second year and an advance course of nine weeks in the fourth year which is terminated with a comprehensive examination. For those who enter the trade with technical school training, the basic course is shortened to nine weeks. This may be shortened to Corner PRINCE & BOND ST.

The advance course teaches fin- ished theory and will be a fluid course which may change with ad- vances in practice and knowledge. It attempts to teach the individual all those aspects of the trade which his employer usually ignores. On completion of this course the ap- prentice will be given a certificate and be known as a junior mecha- nic. Only after he has another year of experience in putting into prac- tice the theory that the advance course makes available, will he become a full-fledged mechanic. The course is being financed on a 50-50 basis by the dominion and provincial governments which will give all out-of-town apprentices at- tending the instifute a $14 per week living allowance as well as provid- ing a medical check-up and a list of government approved boarding houses. The: department of education staffs and administers the institute while the department of appren- ticeships determines who shail at- tend. Head of the institute is H. H. Kerr, while George Ingles is chief instructor for the motor mechanics course. Threshing Of Buckwheat Keeps Enfield Busy MRS.

Brown, secretary, and iss M. Bolton, retired teacher, on Woodland Rd. here last night. Pickering firemen ,who answered the call under Chief J. F. J. Prouse, said they were delayed getting to the scene because a neighbor who attempted to summon aid, tele- phoned Scarboro fire department first. Since the house was not in Scarboro firemen's territory, a second call had to be made' to Pickering. Chief Prouse said the cause of the fire is not known. It was discovered by a neighbor's boy who informed his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Skidmore. The owners of the build- 'ing were in Toronto at the time. Chief Prouse said by the time his department arrived the house was beyond saving and the brigade con- centrated on protecting surrounding homes. Damage was estimated at $7,000.

Smith, | president of the United States Rub- | ber Company. "Today's automobile tire is three times better than the tire of 1918, and six times better than the early tire of 1906." | U. 8S. Rubber's latest advance in quality is a synthetic cold rubber tire tread developed during the last few months which gives 30 per cent more wear than any other tread heretofore known, it is claimed. It is processed at a temperature of 41 degrees instead of the standard temperature of 125 degrees. Manufacture of this new tire is just: getting started, and quantity production is some time off. An accessory that can be easily installed and which indicates to the driver by lights on the dash- board when the oil in the crank- case is low is now available. Con- sisting of ap lug that replaces the crankcase drain plug, a cable, and a dash unit that fits into a 4" hole, the entire outfit is very simple. When the oil level drops one quart the amber light shows, if it drops two quarts, the red light warns the driver to add oil. Take Chances! . . .
