Helens, gpent Sunday -there,
However, closer .study shows that op-
erations are probably more 'broken
down and scattered than on this side'
of the Atlantic, There .is ,a good rea-
son for this. In using 5Q many work.,
ors with little experience in their par-
ticular work, it was easier to teach'
them one simple operation than it:
would have been to teach them to
handle' a. complicated machine which
would do several operations at once.:
The system is also more flexible,.
If some part is knocked .out by enemy
action or otherwise, the entire ?rouge-
tion will not be stopped.
Those factories are unexcelled for
precision of craftsmanship, and their
production targets are continually be-
ing exceeded, This is going to be a
big factor in overcoming the Hun.
Latest reports are that the 'Germans
are worried over the superiority of the
English in precision and quantity of
production.
Most of these employees work fifty-
Six hours a week. When we had a
conference witih Britain's Minister of
Labour, Mr. Ernest I3evin, he told us
that there is no gain in working more
, than fifty-six hours a week, and that
be was trying to get it down to a fifty-
three or fifty-two ihours' week. He
said, "We are in the fourth year of
the war. Most of the virile people have
been taken, for the forces. Age groups
in industry are higher. Forty-seven
is the average age of the Liverpool
dockworkers, and in the building
trades, the average age is from forty-
five to forty-six."
We asked two different Cabinet
Ministers if England had reached the
saturation point in manpower.. One
answered that there was no such thing
as a saturation point in labour, and
the other replied, "We are a long way
past the saturation. point."
We came away from these factories
deeply impressed with the fact that
the civilian workers. are 'just as hard.
at work, just as serious in, their tasks,
and just as anxious to do their utmost
to hasten victory as the, members of
the Navy; Army and Air Force.
The floor has. been cemented and
the walls and pillars painted a. light
colour, This underground factory is
brilliantly illuminated by fluorescent
lighis. The ventilation is wonderful.
Air is taken in from above ground,
cleaned and heated, and distributed by
tiaducts' under the floor, while the US-
,ed air is carried off at the roof.
An example of modern scientific
methods is found in the disposal of
sewage. It is pumped to the surface
and chemically treated to extract gas-
es which are used to propel the fac-
tory service cars.
The factory is surprisingly clean
and bright,' It is hard to believe that
it is ninety feet under the ground,
There is a large restaurant under-
ground as well as another on top of
the ground.. Each of them is capable
of feeding several thousand employees
in a scientific and efficient manner.
One of the problems in Connection
with this factory was the supply of
labour. The number of Workers at
hand was limited. This has been over-
come by bringing workers there in
large numbers of busses and by build-
ing dormitories and houses, The dor-
mitories are made up of single and
double rooms, compact, but well furn-
ished and comfortable, The buildings
are of stone or brick and appeared
-to be fireproof and substantial.

The regular monthly meeting of the

dent, Mrs. Grain, in the chair. After
the opening exercises the roll call was
answered by "If you were a Prime

Th e regular monthly meeting of the

gave a reading "The Alibaster Box".
Miss Annie Kennedy was appointed as

War calls mist come first. . . Every day more of our customers, in the cities
cis well as the country, are using the mails to
do their banking, to make their deposits or to
withdraw cash needed for any purpose. which means that we should reduce our non-
essential use of the telephone to the minimum.
Present facilities cannot be increased; your co-
operation is needed if war calls are to go through
promptly. (,;, Please remember that the wasteful
use of telephone time can hold up war business
-anfl that every second you save counts,
Deposits are acknowledged by return Mail.
Our nearest Branch is as close as your mail -box. Why not let the mail man be your bank
messenger and conserve time, rubber, and
gasoline. If you value your time DO YOUR
BANKING BY MAIL.
The houses, some of which we were
shown through, are small, but bright
and .comfortable, and planned to ,ntake
the most of every bit of space. They
are certainly a big improvement on
the average .workman's home,
We also visited aircraft factories,
aircraft engine factories and other
munition factories.
One morning we arrived at one of
these factories. The entrance Was not
very impressive. In fact it looked like
some residential flats than a factory,
Yet we spent most of the day
going from building to building to see
various operations in progress.' A fine
lunch was served to us in the excilt-
tive offices. The exact number of
employees .cannot be given but it was
in the tens of thousands.
A very large proportion of the
workers are women, many of them do-
ing jobs that it was once thought
could only be done by men, Before
the war these women were hairdres-
sers, barmaids, waitresses, - school
teachers, shop assistants, domestics
and workers in smaller industrial
plants. Others had netier worked be-
fore.
Some of the machinery in this fac-
tory was made in the United States,
but much of it bore naineplates of
British firms.
The general appearance and opera-
tion of this and other factories is
about the same as in similar factories
in Canada and the United States.

Probably the most interesting Of -the
plants, we visited was an immense
underground factory...which was just
going into production. These under-
ground factories are not dug out es-
pecially for the purpose: There are
many large caverns, some natural and
others the result of .years of mining,
which can easily be converted into
good factories. '
A large elevator took us ninety feet
below the surface of the ground to
where this factory is .located: The
factory itself covers a vast area and
only uses a small part of the , cavern.
One of our guides fold us that he had
kone down into the cavern before any
work on it had been started, and he
would have been lost if he had not
been with a local guide who knew it
well.
