EXPERIMENT IN
TURBINE
Engineers Hear interest
ing Talk on Wind-Gen
Grated Electric Power

The Waterbury Naturalist Club
and the Bristol Company Engineers
Club as guests of the American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers last
night heard the workings of an ex-
perimental Vernon wind turbine
described by DR.. John B. Wilbur of
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, chief engineer of the
project.
The purpose of the project, in
operation for two years, is to find
the practical uses of wind-gener-
ated electric power, DR.. Wilbur said.
The Vermont site was chosen be-
cause of high attitudes and steady
winds, he pointed out. However, at
present the installation is too ex-
pensive and unreliable to compete
with present methods of generating
power, he stated.
w. M. Edison, superintendent of
operation, Central Vermont Public
Service Corp. discussed operating

had their deferment individually
considered.
BY April, 1941, Britain be-
gan conscripting women for its
armed forces. Originally it was
limited to single women be-
tween 20 and 80. Last month it
was lowered to 10. Only choice
given female draftees is joining
the Women's Land Army or vital
industrial jobs.
Hand in hand with drafting
for the forces went drafting for
industry. In May, 1910, follow
ing Dunkirk, Section 58-A
added defense regulations en-
towering the Minister of Labor
to direct anyone to do any job
To give this section meaning,
less than a year later compul-
sorry registration for employ
ment was ordered for men
younger than fifty and not al
ready registered for the Army
and for women between -
and As.
FREEZE SOME JOBS
At the same time the Govern
ment passed the Essential Work
Orders Bill. With this govern
ment departments could recon-
mend that employment in GER
tain vital industries be frozen
Employers couldn't fire and en-
pfoyees couldn't quit. Already
unionized to far greater de-
gree than in America, British
industry had union-management
machinery to iron out inequali-
ties in such freezings. Seven and
a half million workers in $4,000
industries are now frozen.
Recently notice was given
that Section 58-A would be used
increasingly during the coming
year. British production of some
munitions is now sufficiently
advanced so that only pilot
plants are needed to maintain
stockpiles. Workers who have
been producing these weapons
will be directed to other vital
war industries.
At the same time more women
will be called. Childless mar
ried women under 40 will have
to take part-time jobs if they
can't do full-time.
THEY'RE ALL IN 1T
1t all adds up to this. At the

end of last year the Minister of
Labor estimated the total of
gainfully occupied persons in
Guiding allowances for part-time
workers was twenty-three and q
half million. Britain's total pop
ulation between the ages of IA
and IS is only thirty-three and a
quarter million. Eleven million
of these are married or occupied
with necessary household duties.
Nor does the "Gainfully occu-
pied" figure include thousands
of voluntary workers in wom-
ems organizations like WIS,
canteens, and nursery schools.
That's what Britain means by
one hundred percent mobiliza-
ton. That's what's in store for
America before she can say she
is "all out"

He Holds Several War Jobs with
SUNDAYS Free for Guard Duty
BY TOM WOLF


LONDON, March with all
women up to 40 now liable to
CONSUMPTION for war work,
Britain is we'll along on her
march toward about mobiliza-
ton.
To date, Americans h ave
taken only the first toddling
steps along this tough military
road. Before she takes real
strides she'll have, as Britain has
had for two years, manpower
director exercising his power to
direct any person in the United
States to do any job anywhere,
any time.
British mobilization of man
and womanpower does not end
with one man doing one job. A
typical Briton's work week is,
six days in munitions plant,
two nights for four hours Home
Guard duty, one night Home
Guards all. night. A four night
each week he takes an all-night
turn as fireWatcher at the ia
tory. This leaves Sunday free
for Home Guard drill and exer-
cises taking up the whole day
and often much of the night.
LIMIT PERSONAL SERVICE
AS each manpower reservoir
was successfully tapped, the
British started doing for them
selves what formerly some did
for them. AS in America now,
Britain's first civilian manpower
shortage was felt in servants.
Now it has reached every phase
of ordinary living here. In ad-
dition to doing your own house
work and cooking, you now do
your own laundry if you want it
back quicker than a month. You
no longer expect buses to run
late at night. You do your own
office filing and run your own
errands if you want them done
at all.
The first step in Britain's
manpower drive was selective
service. The British started COM
pulsory registration for military
service with 20-year-olds and
twenty-ones in May, 1899. Pro-
gressively ages were raised and
lowered until now the top is
fifty-one years and the bottom
17ye ears, 8 month. Although
boys are not called before eight
cen, the preliminaries are gotten
over four months before, so he is
ready to don his uniform on his
18th birthday.
MARRIED NOT EXEMPT
The British draft system
makes no exemptions for mar
riage. Dependents are supported
by war service grants. Industrial
deferments are increasingly
harder to get. First deferments
are made by block reservations
If you are over a certain age
and doing specified work, you
are automatically deferred.
Today, however, every case is
under review. Review started in
January 1912, with those 10
when registered. The age being
reviewed was raised one year
each month so that now in Feb
ruary, l943, all under 81 have
