By HARVEY BOWNE Keyport, '33 Union Beach students who attend Keyport high school have been "getting the breaks" lately. They now have a school bus that picks them up every morning afW brings them all the way to the school, but they have to be In school at 8.45, with the other students, and cannot leave the school until after chapel, 'which is about 3.30, depending on the noise the Juniors make.

Chapel has been changed from before the first period to after the last period. This came about as a result of several teachers "kicking" that the students sang too well and too long in chapel. It seems curious that this trouble never occurs now. Bchnar Conquers Bradley Eleven Hard-Fought Game Ends In 7-0 Score Fa rr Catches Long Pass.

G. Last week nine student from the commercial department of the Matawan high school vlsltd the Muehlhauscn cooperage factory.

They were first shown two enormous drying ovens. Mr. Muehlhausen explained that the wood as seasoned here to assure perfect fit and to prevent warping. The temperature In these ovens Is kept 10 degrees warmer than the air at the factory and the lumber, which comes ready cut, remains In the oven from 7a to 90 At the end of that time It Is taken out to be examined and put thru the test-mg machines. The wooden staves are put on an endless belt, which carries them over and across to a device that measures them.

It the staves pass thru the testing ma chine, they are sent to the man who assembles them. In the meanwhile a man Is busily at work assemblylng barrel rims. The rims come cut, but not riveted. The two rivets are put In the rim and a power-driven hammer secures them. Next, the rim Is put on a large form which Is constantly expanding and contracting.

On this machine the sharp edge of the rim Is expanded, so as not to cut the barrel. One man makes 3,000 rims a day. Speedy Anemblaga It was very Interesting to watch the man assemble the barrels. He assembles about five barrels a minute. The staves were put Into a form with a ring In the bottom, a cable was put around the top and the staves were pulled Into ((hape.

An Iron rim was put on the barrel about two inches from the top and one on the bottom the same distance from the edge. After the barrel Is assembled It Is sent to have the edges evened. The process of evening the wood consists of shaving the edges In a machine barrel-like In shape. The barrel Is held in position and the edges smoothed and evened by an electrically driven saw. The Iron forma are removed and the steel rims are driven on, Next, the barrels are sent to have the top rim and the bottom clamped on.

The wooden bottom sections are placed In a machine and by means of suction sre carried across bv a lever and put 'In position. The binding rim is placed on the barrel and a heavy hammer comes down with terrific force. The barrel is turned over and the top binding rim is clamped on. The barrels are then thrown on a platform and sre stored until they can be nailed. Two men are at Work driving nails and staples thru the rims to hold them more securely in place.

After the trip thru the factory the students found that "there was more to it" than they thought. The students appreciated the chance to tour the isc- tory snd stated their appreciation to Mr. Muehlhausen. ATTENDS TEACHERS' MEETING By LORRAINE BAI.KAM Matawan, P. G.
