Abandoned Salt Works
Disgorge Scrap Metal
"Bunted treasures." In the form of
scrap metal, are shortly to be dug
out of old salt workings at Saltford,
HensalI and other places in Huron
County and shipped to Ontario's
heavy industries for the manufacture
of ships, tanks, etc.
This decision was made after a
visit here on Monday and Tuesday
by a representative of J. B. Kilborne,
Canada's steel controller.
For nearly half -a -century many tons
of iron have lain at these abandoned
salt plants, Much of it has been stol-
en during the years. Largers parts
were too heavy to move and are now
sunk in the ground almost out of
sight.
To some the old salt works of the
county have both an historic and a
sentimental value, but theese objec-
tions have been swept away and tire
edict issued: "Clean it up or we will
dean it up for you."
Today one hundred tons of scrap
iron at a local Junk yu•cl owned by
Max Frankel is being shipped to Ha-
milton, It was seized by the Steel
controller on March 4. Attempts to
keep it, in Goderich for local industry
failed, It was sold for $18 a ton. Last
war scrap iron rose to $40 a ton,-

Mrs, Victor Kestle- Exeter
After putting up a heroic fight for
four weeps during which time two
operations were performed, Mrs. Vic-
otr Kestle, of Exeter, passed away
last week in Victoria Hospital, Lon-
don. In the prime of life, being in her
45th year, the news of her death cast
a shadow of gloom over the commun-
ity as Mrs. Kestle was well-known
and highly esteemed by a wide circle
of friends. Her maiden name was
Norms Merle Clark, daughter of Mr,
and Mrs. W. F. Clark, of Crediton,
Previous to her marriage she Was a
music teacher and was the organist
of the Crediton United church, Be-
sides her sorrowing husband and
parents she is survived by one dau-
ghter, Janet; a brother, Russel, of
Detroit, and a sister Mrs. Harry Dale,
of Brampton. The funeral service
was conducted by Rev. A. Page, as-
sisted by Rev. L. H, Turner, of Cred=
iton, The bearers were Dr. E. S.
Steiner. Messrs. Jack Green, Harty
Porthole. K. J. Lauuprnau, E, C. Har-
vey and Jas, P. Rowey. Interment
took place in the Exeter cemetery.
Flood Conditions-
Rivers and creeks were swollen to
flood proportions by the heavy rains,
and snow last week, throughout the
district. By Saturday night the water
iu.the Bayfield river and many of the
creeks was very high. Water entered
many cellars, and lots of fields were
covered with water. In places even
the roadways were under water.
Birds Arrive; Early This Year
According to the records kept by
the first form pupils at Wingham
High School the birds arrived about
two weeks earlier than last year.
Here's hope that they are not caught
with a late spring and they are truly
fore runners of an early break in
the weather. Most all the birds that
arrive early in the spring have been
reported as being here,-Wingham

WAR OUTPUT VP
2,000 PER GENT
How British Munition Factory Hakes
20 Times More Shell use Cases
Output of shell fuse cases in a Bri-
tish Munitions factory has been in
creased twentyfold after isciusttdal
psychologists had suggested itttprove-
mettts in methods of wetting,
The job required careful hand -
soldering of seams, and, as the fac•.
tory had lost most of its experienced
solders, the weekly outpitt was only
1,000 good cases, with several thous-
and rejects, Ant after various
ehangos, of which the most import-
ant was a systematic training scheme
based on careful study of, hand and
body movements, the output was
raised to 20,000 cases a week, passed
by htc inspectors.
This is only one example of how
trained psychologists from Britain's
Niitional Inatitute•if Industrial Psych-
ology have helped to speed up protium
tion in the war factories. Although
the results are t startling
sometimes st g
there is no particular magic about
their job. It is based rather on a
careful study of the physical move -
meats entailed, on proper methods of
instruction, and above all on inter
-
eating the trainee in the work.
Hours of wasted time .have been
saved merely~ by getting the trainees
into the habit of arranging their tools
around them in an orderly way and
replacing them after use. Training is
made interesting by interspersing
handwork with general instruction so
t:itat trainees understand how their
worst flts into the general scheme. In
tank factories, for example, they not
only see their particular part as-
sembled into the completed' job, but
are shown the tank in action.
Coil winding operatives trained by
these ntetltods were found to reach a
standard of proficiency in only Ave
days which previously had taken live
weeks., Moreover, this was not
achieved at the expense of output,
for a 65 per cent. incvrease in the
average output of good pieces was ob-
tained, while the scrap rate fell from
5-2 per cent.
