Blind Helping Build Bombers Some Turn Out More Work Than Sighted Employees I'.lnirl wini.M. are helping huild fighting and bombing planes at the Lockheed Aircraft factory, and their boss sayo that In sonic re- specta they are bettor than sighted employees. Eleven blind meii and two sight- less women havi been engaged in a placement test In the Loi:khecd plant for more than a month, and some of thorn now turn nut morn work than their fellows, due to higher power of concentration. "On some of the inorp difficult operations the (inality of their work In above averagi 1 ," said C. L. Pel- ton, Lockheed superintendent of fabrication. "In every case wl th- in B few weeks the quantity of their work equalled or exceeded that of sighted persons on thn ame oper- ation." Guide dogs bring the sightless workers to the plant a<:l morning, tin-calling their way through the Intricate aisles and Buildings of the main Lockheed factory. There the dogfi doze all day beneath the-lr niaBtcMi)' benchCH.

The French were advised to keep away from German headquarters and bar- racks, rail centres and repair yards and the fortified coastal zones. Nazis Desert On Journey To Front The Polish Government in London said it had received con- firmation of desertions by Ger- man officers and men from trans- ports crossing Poland to the East- ern Front. It said these desertions have become so frequent that the Ger- man authorities have been obliged t organize a special control sys- tem. Deserters who discard their military equipment and buy civil- ian clothes are said to reach Ger- many by applying' to German labor offices recruiting workers for labor in the Reich. WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING ICE INDICATOR ON PLANES There's a little gadget which has Just been perfected that likely will niake next winter's flying easier for the boys who pilot Allied bombers. It's an Ice Indicator. It Isn't Impressive-looking. It weighs about five pounds and looks like a handful of telephone cord connecting two email black boxes, a dial and a plastic disc. It does i in'.;!- things: 1. It tells when Ice starts to form on the plane. 2. It tells how thick the Ice is. 3. It can switch on a de-icer. In short, it means the bomber pilot has one Iws thing to worry about. It sounds very simple. But ac- tually the young scientist who In- vented the gadget, Dr. Waldo Kllever, put the complicated new science of electronics to work to make it. It's the first time anyone has been able to measure the rate at which ice forms on a plane. Until now, the co-pilot has had to do the worrying and trust ate own judgment. If you've ridden a sleeper plane, you've seen him at night come back into the cabin and throw 'his flashlight beam along the leading edge of the wing. He was looking for ice and trying to determine how thick it was. The indicator starts) with a small disc set into any surface of the plane which wants watching. This dtec is linked to a dial on the pilot's dashboard. When ice forms, the dial's needle swings to tbe right, and as it swings It indicates Just how much ice is outside on the wing. It isn't a gadget that measured dropping temperatures like a ther- mometer. It doesn't touch the ice. It simply registers "ice" because the Ice changes the character of the electrical "field" around It. SOLOMON ISLAND HOT SPOTS \ *o 4 ^ o. $.

Royal Mint Strikes Million Coins Daily With war bringing a big demand for more money in Britain the Royal Mint Is very brisk these days.

The silver three penny piece, alihouffh seldom seen, is still be- ing struck, although the majority go to Scotland where there Is jt big demand for them.

The landlord of offices ten- anted by a firm of Scots lawyer! whose lease was about to expire wrote to ask whether they were going to continue in occupation. Their reply was: "Dear Sir, We are, Your truly" Not appreciating this effort in economy of words and paper he wrote again to demand whether or not it was their intention to remain. The answer was: "Dear Sir, We remain, Yours truly" The landlord is not trying again. A milkman inducted into the army wrote back home from camp: "Betie, I ure do like thim army life. It'* o nice to lie abed every morning until five-thirty." "On the Jay on which my wed- ding occurred " "You'll pardon the correction but affairs such as marriages, re- ceptions, dinners and things of that sort 'take place. Only cal- amities occur." You see the dis- tinction?" "Yes, I see. As I was saying, the day on. which my wedding occurred " Teacher (pointing to deer at the zoo): "Johnny, what if that?" Johnny: "I dont know." Teacher: "What does your mother call your father?" Johnny: "Don't tell mo that's a louse!" "Are you positive that the de- fendant was drunk?" asked the judge. "No doubt," growled the offi- cer. "Why are you so certain?" "Well," replied the officer, "I saw him put a penny in the patrol box on Fourth Street, then look up at the clock on the church and shout: "Gowd, I've lost 14 pounds." Candidate: "How did you like my speech on the agri- cultural problem?" Farmer: "It wasn't bad, but a day's rain would do a heap more good." The musketry instructor was giving a squad of recruits their first lesson on the rifle. "Your rifle is your best pal," he told them. "Treat it as you would your mother, your sister or your sweetheart. . . rub it over with an oil rag every morning." "I hadn't been talking to the fellow for more than five minutes when he called me a fool." "What caused the delay?" Things Are Really Getting Very Hard Brother, things are really get- ting hard. Shortly, there is to be no more steel for springs in beds, chester- fields, or over-stuffed chairs. Presumably after a nipht of sleepless tossing in worry o\er the slump in steel production, one of the experts of the Munitions De- partment decided that the metal which had gone into his bed- spring might better have been us- ed for guns or tanks. Actually, there was nc ban yel on the use of steel in springs, ex- plained a Munitions publicity man, because the order hadn't been signed. No signed order so no news, was the way he looked at it, with an eye to protecting the sanctity of Munitions' thousandth or so press release. "Anyway," he asked querulous- ly in after-thorght, "do we have to have chesterfields, and with springs?" Over 850,000 pounds of sun- flower seeds were shipped from Uruguay in a recent month.

Metals Controller George Bate- man said the shortage of brass now is so acute that it must be conserved by the services as well as by the civilian. Enough will be saved by his ruling to make 26,- 000,000 .303 rifle cartridge cases per month. Instead of brass, a hat badge made of a plastic will be standard issue in a few weeks. John Eaton of Toronto, director-general of the general purchasing branch, hold- ing a sample, said "it is black in color, neat as a pin, and so tough that even a strong man could not BOOKS ON ALL SUBJECTS MEDICAL, ROMANCK, HUMOR, EDUCATIONAL, PSYCHOLOGY.

The metal parts of the web equipment will be steel, coated with a black finjsh. "As for the tunic buttons," said Mr. Baton, "a * final decision has not been reached by the services. The buttone must match the belt buckle, and the * buckle will be made of a plastic, or of the same black-finished steel that will go into the web equip- meut." Officers as well as N.C.O.'s and men will be affected by th new ruling. What substitutes the offic- ers will use will be determined by the armed forces, said the depart- mental statement, but meairwhile the badge suppliers have some stocks on hand and new officer* " will not have to wait for thefa- unl- forms.
