Mac Vicar is chairman of this committee and assisting him are: Supt, of Schools Harold E. Chittenden, Patrick H. Kelly, Warden John J. Sheridan and G. E. Teal.
 In its news of local factories, the Chamber reports the Lewis En- gineering company has just been awarded contract for testing equipment for measuring air tenn perature in aircraft in flight, for the U. s. Army Air Corps.
 The Bristol company recently re- celved a large order for dry-kiln controller system for automatically holding the temperature and humid ity in kilns at the desired values, from large lumber mill on the West coast, the Chamber reports.
 This firm builds these systems. It is explained practically all lumber produced in this c ountry is now kiln dried at the mill before being shipped. This process reduces. the shipping weight of the wood and prevents staining, moulding and decaying during transit.
 But it's primary purpose is to so cure the stock that it will not shrink, swell, or pull out of shape after 1t has been constructed into the finished article.
