lind Helping
Build Bambe °s
Some Turn Out More Work
Than Sighted Employees
Blind workers are helping build
fighting and bombing planes at the
Lockheed Aircraft factory, and
their boss says that in some re-
spects they are better than sighted
employees.
Eleven blind men and two sight-
less women have been engaged in
a placement test in the Lockheed
plant for more than. a month, and
some of them now turn out more
work than their fellows, due to
higher power of coacentratiou.
"On some of the more difficult
operations the quality of their work
as above average," staid C. L. Pei.
ton, Lockheed superintendent of
fabrication, "In every Case witth-
in a few weeks the quantity of their
work equalled or exceeded that of
sighted persons on the same oper-
ation," •
Guide . dogs bring the sightless
workers' to the plant each morning,
threading their way thrott.gh the
intricate aisles and buildings of the
main Lockheed factory, There the
doge doze '(all day beneath their
Masters' benches.
Miss .Hazel Hurst, sightless pre-
sident of a foundation for training
blind persons at Monrovls, worked
at every Joh before selecting a
blind worker to be planed In lt.
The number of lobs they can per.
form with safety will always be
limited, she said,
BBC Warns France
To Be Prepared
The BBC warned the French
again that it was important now
as never before for every French-
man to be prepared for opera-
tions by the Allied air forces,
navies and armies. 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
to 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 iNpICATQR ON PLANE$
There's a little gadget which has
just been perfected that likely
make next . winter's hying
easter for the boys who pilot Allied
bombers. It's an ice .indica,tpr, '
It isn't impressive -looking. It
weighs about five pounds and
looks like a handful of telephone.
cord conuectiug two email black
boxes, a dial and a plastic disc,
It does these 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 less thing to worry
about.
It sounds very simple. But ac-
tually the young scientist who In-
vented the gadget, Dr. Waldo
Kiiever, 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 hie 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. TMs
dlae is linked to a dial on the
pilot's dashboard. When ice forms,
the dial's needle swings to the
right, and as it swings it indicates
just how much ice is outside on
the wing.
It isn't a gadget that measures
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.

Australia Making
Own Optical Glass
Australia is now making its own
optical glass, urgently needed for
such instruments as range -cinders,
field glasses and other types of
eye -aid used In modern war. Three
years ago Sydney dealers said it
could not be done because good
optical glass was a trade secret
handed down in French and Ger-
man firms, Now a large Australian
works is making on a mass scale
optical glass which experts pro-
nounce "equal and in some respects
superior to" the best optical glass
made in Europe.
• Russians Using

at the type, which they called the

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.
Over 1,000,000 new coins are
being struck every day, including
every coin in the currency except
one of the most popular — the
penny.
The minting of pennies was
banned over two years ago to eco-
nomize in the use of copper metal,
and the brass three penny piece
is helping to make up for the lack
of pennies.
The silver three penny piece,
although seldom seen, is still be-
ing struck, although 'tltemajority
go to Scotland where there is a
big demand for them.
Before the ban there were about
2,000 million pennies in Britain,
an average of 40 per person.,

Have You Heard?
The landlord of offices ten,.
anted by a firm of Scots lawyers
whose lease was about to expire
wrote to ask whether they were
going tp continua in occupation.
Their reply was:
"Dear Sir, 'We are, Yours
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: "Bessie, I sure
do like this army Life. It's
so nice to lie abed every
morning until five -thirty."
"On the day 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,

occurred—"
Teacher (pointing to deer
at the zoo): "Johnny, what

Johnny: "1 dont know."
Teacher: "What does your

Johnny: "Don't tell me

"Are you positive that the de-
fendant was drunk?" asked the
judge.
"No doubt," growled the offi
ter.
"Why are you so certain?"
"Well," replied the officer, "1

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

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 night of
sleepless tossing in worry over the
slump in steel production, one of
the experts of the Munitions De-
partment decided that the metal
which bad gone into his bed-
spring might better have been us-
ed for guns or tanks,
Actually, there was no ban yet
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':"

No More Brass
Badges For Army
Metal To Be Conserved For
Making Munitions
No more brass will be released
for the het badges, tunic buttons,
buckles, and web equipment of the
Canadian armed forces, the muni-
tion and supply department an-
nounced recently.
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 sanLple, said "it is black in
color, neat as a pin, and so tough
that even a strong man could not

break it with his hands,"
The metal parts of the web
equipment will be steel, coated
with a blaok finish, "As for the
tunic buttons," said Mr. Eaton, "a
final decision has not been reached
by the services. The buttons 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-
ment.
Officers as well as N,C.O.'s and
men will be affected by the new
ruling. What substitutes the offic-
ers will use will be determined by
the armed forces, said the depart-
mental
epartmental statement, but meanwhile

stocks on hand and new officers
will not have to wait for Mete uni-
