THUMBS HER WAY
Leave it to woman's ingenuity to
transfer the lowly thimble to war-
plane production. Hazel Porter-
field, worker in Douglas Aircraft
Company's Santa Monica plant, is
pictured with thimble screwdriver
she devised because her work in-
volved holding large pieces of
metal in one hand and awkwardly
balancing screws and screwdriver
with the other. Her gadget, which
won a plant suggestion award, is
now used extensively throughout
the plant.
wasted if the colonies Inc not
closely watched during the period
between the early /low from dee-
delion and fruit bloom and the
main flow front clover, advises C.
B. Gooderham, Dominion apiar-
ist. The early flow stimulates the
colony t) its maximum production
of brood but seldom/ permits. a sur-
plus to be stored for emergencies.
Any shortage of food at this •time
results first in a reduction of brood
rearing which in turn means fewer
bees for the harvest, and secondly
it may end in starvation and death
of the whole colony. A few lbs.
of sugar given at this time may
save a colony of bees and .ft lot of
honey.

Londoners, and all Britons,

particularly excited nor especially
nervous. The hour when inva-

longed for as - one which will
mean the beginning of the end in
a war which for the British has
lasted nearly five years. They
-view the cueing .Allied assault
with a -mixture of gladness, relief
and worry for their fighting men.
Tania Long, a member 'of The

invasion scene: "The war of ner-

what the Germans may do, partly
because of the British lack of liin-

such • good stead in the earlier
and darker periods of the tear.
"On tate streets, in the trams
and buses and restaurants, it is
not invasion that is the topic of
conversation but such things as

papers depicting the American
people as sitting on the edges of
their chairs, are read with some
astonishment and persons arriving
in Britain remark with Noone be-
wilderment on the calm normality.
Except for the newspapers there
is little to remind a Londoner of
the great drama about to unfold.
