 New winter courses for lo42 have just been announced for workmen In Bridgeport and Stamford by Bee- ton P. Lauder, supervisor of the de- fense courses for the Bridgeport En- gineering Institute. Registration will be held in the Warren Harding High school in Bridgeport from 2 to 9 D. m. on December 8 to 19, and in the Stamford High school during the same evening hours from December l to inclusive. Twenty-two courses will be offered for the new term.
 A total of 465 men are now com- pleting defense courses in Bridge port while another 151 are studying in Stamford, making a total of 6lt in Fairfield County. From February to August of this year, 603 men re- ceived training in these two cities.
 The Engineering Defense Train ing Act was passed by Congress for
 the express purpose of assisting in. dustrieS engaged in national defense production" said Dean Dudley in a statement issued recently. "The ulti- mate success of courses in New Ha- ven and Fairfield counties, or, indeed anywhere else in the country, will be measured In terms of how well the training institutions have met industrial demands for trained per- sonnel. During this past year, Con- gress decided to continue the pro- gram, adding to 1t responsibilities for training in Science and Manage ment as well as Engineering"
 Intensive Course
 He described the objective of the short term intensive evening courses as that of providing ground work for up-grading men as a factor in meeting the expanding needs occa- stoned by stepped-up defense pro- duction. Specific subjects are offered to fill specific needs in many fac- tories and men who have been spe- cially trained have usually been as- signed to more responsible tasks at the conclusion of courses.
 Fawcett at the New Haven Y. M. c. A. Junior College sent question: naires to 180 manufacturing con- cerns in New Haven County recently to obtain better definition of pro- cedures and find out what bottle necks" in training must be over- come. Many industrialists were in- terviewed personally.
 AS a result, many new courses have been offered during the current term. Advanced tool design, person. nel supervision, methods engineer ing, industrial supervision, industrial safety and rubber technology are in the engineering cur- iiculum. The biggest registration has occurred in a production control" course, with 91 students enrolled.
 To elementary courses in inspec- tion of materials have been added courses for men who al- ready have had collegiate engineer ing training. The government recog- nizes the inspection courses as the equivalent of training when consid- ering promotions for inspectors.
 Other popular courses are those in industrial electricity, measure ment of electrical properties, weld ing supervision, metallurgy, chemical engineering and ballistics-alI vital specialties in the national defense program.
