Harris as a half-topickup truck, but that is what it was before instructors and trainees at Clearfield disassembled and redesigned it. The "open car" is one of the teaching aids used in the UAW advanced automotive training program. Instructors say it allows them to demonstrate all the components of the motor vehicle and their relationship to each other. Even the distributor cap is so that you can see the individual points fire. n see-throug- h the United Auto Workers training at the center. We want to make a good mechanic out of what some consider a bad citizen, he continued, and the entire staff addresses itself to that goal. The UAW program, which has been operating at the Clearfield Center for less than a year, offers advanced training in general and specialist areas of auto mechanics and auto body repair to those students interested.

Mr. Harris obviously has as much enthusiasm for the program as his young trainees. A former employe of General Motors, he says that if ever he had thought about the perfect job when he was younger, it would have to be just like the one he does now. I love it here!

A proposal has been submitted to the Department of Labor for the diesel program and we hope that program cannot compete with the private sector in repairing vehicles.
