The school began Monday and will continue for four weeks, said Robert O. Boriskie, information representative. “There are numerous heavy equipment schools all over the U.S., but most of them are small operations which are able to offer little or no actual eqiupment oper ation, Ernest A. Wontrcek, ad ministrative assistant, said. “Our school is one of four lead ing institutions which can offer extensive training in the opera tion of heavy earthmoving equip ment. Two of the others are oper ated by the U. S. Army.” Classroom instructions are con ducted on the campus, and equip ment operations are held in train ing area near Easterwood Airport. Students from all over the nation | receive operation and maintainence instructions. Over 50 pieces of equipment such as tractors, graders, dozers and cranes are owned by the Engineer ing Extension Service with which to give its students at least 100 hours of machine operation. Ori ginally, leading manufacturers loaned pieces of equipment to the training school, but it now buys the pieces from Army surplus sales. A. L. Kramer is the school’s chief instructor, and he heads a staff of four other instructors. They are Alvin Jones, Thomas Craig, LaRue Jones and Charlie Brannan. The instructors were re cruited directly from the construc tion industry.
