Lie ulSUACdA OCphA VAilCAAo "a OAAS
Army ordnance plant at Illiopolis,
ILL.,, has established a new Lose
2-Pounds- Week" club for over
weight employees. Mainsprings of
the program are q scientifically pre-
scribed diet for each individual and
a chart on which to record the
progress made.
r. p. Williams, now an inspector
in the Army ordnance plant at
Kings Mills, Ohio, has held numer-
GUS worlds sport records, many OF
which still stand. Among them Is
one which probably will continue
unbrOken for all time: his record
of consecutive victories in One-wall
handball extends from 1895 to 1913,
during which time he has engaged
in 1857 matches without dropping
a decision.
The Army ordnance plant at
Dixon, ILL.,. has it's own round the
clock weather bureau to protect
employees who would be in danger
If allowed to work during electrical
storms. The weathermen prevent
unnecessary loss of time and pro-
duction which would result from
premature closing of operations
based on unwise guessing, or panic
action at the sight of storm clouds.
Army ordnance IS now producing
more than $4,000, 900 artillery shells
a month, as compared with 2.7OO.-
600 month during the World War.
One manufacturing suggestion
by an employee of an Army ordnance
facility brought about the saving,
for each 1000 armored vehicles, of
$4,000 pounds of armor plate, 10000
bolts and nuts. $500 machine hours
and $500 man-hourS.
