Â¥, APRIL 19, 1951 While Present Stock Lasts All Nationally Known Makes WESTINGHOUSE â€" GENERAL ELECTRIC ADMIRAL â€" NORGE patients are nervous and highly strung. In 1988 therapy ‘lfi color was undertaken at the Worcester State Hospital in Massachusetts. Blue was one of the colors emâ€" ployed in the tests, and the report stated: "Blue had a striking and prolonged quieting effect. Patients and attendants commented on its soothing. quality. This color was the most satisfactory of those Decorators have also found blue to be a coâ€"operative color, for it blends extremely well and is useful in a room with a southern exposure, for example, which may be exâ€" tremely warm. Blue tends to add the necessary "cool" feeling which makes that room livable. _ The origin of the word is list in antiquity. The Ancients apparâ€" ently didn‘t know it, or avoided using it. Instead of the Mediterâ€" ranean sky being blue, it was reâ€" ferred to as ultramarine. The first recorded use of "blue" is about 1700 and seems to have slipped into English from the French "bleu". The French word, in turn, appears to have a Germanic root, which confusingly enough means yellow or gold. A reasonable supposition, though with no actual basis in fact, has ‘"blue" descending from a Gothic word meaning "to beat"â€""the color caused by a blow." This may be the reason why blue, in some industries, is recogâ€" nized as a precautionary color. Certain railroads employ blue signs and lanterns to warn against the moving of cars that are being reâ€" paired, emptied or filled. While factories use a blue symbol to mark equipment such as machines, eleâ€" vators, tanks, boilers, etc., shut down for repairs. Hospitals, in recent decorating schemes, are making excellent use of blue. Combined with soft greens and grays it is used in rooms havâ€" ing a southern exposure. Blueâ€" green is particularly suited to hosâ€" pital application, being restful and passive yet never becoming monâ€" otonous. It also assumes different aspects under different lights orating color. e ..

This is reportedly the first shipment to Argentina in three years. It has golden sands and rugged cliffs fringed with grass and many public parks that are like flower gardens. There is an openâ€"air swimming pool and a sunâ€"bathing lido which â€" the holidayâ€"maker reaches through a series of natural fantastic tunnels in its cliffs, while in the little bays that cluster round the harbor there is delightful bathâ€" ing. On one of the cliffs, called Lantern Hill, there is the ancient Chapel of St. Nicholas which has been converted into a lighthouse. Iifracombe on the north coast of Devonshire, the county of cider lld‘ cream, was a small fishing village which in the 19th century began tt develop into the large seaside reâ€" sort that it is today. Recently a national newspaper presented I}â€" fracombe with a clock to show that the town had won a competition for the west of England resort with the most sunshine. A coastal road goes round the cliffs to Watermouth where there are some caves to be explored, and thence to Coombe Martin, an anâ€" cient little village which was the centre of a silver mining industry that existed until the 17th century. It is now chiefly an horticultural centre. One of its most interesting buildings is the King‘s Arms (forâ€" merly known as the Pack of Cards Inn), which was built in the 18th centuryâ€"traditionally out of card winningsâ€"and designed to reâ€" semble a house of cards. To the eyes of the general pubâ€" lic and even to most Service pesâ€" sonnel the function of a supply unit appears to be the most unâ€" glamorous phase of military life. Seldom is any fanfare given to the accomplishments of supply service and in connection with supply perâ€" sonnel the term "stores basher" still prevails in certain circles. RCAF Warehousing A supply depot is a "million dolâ€" lar organization" and to function in "dollar wise" fashion, highly trained and capable planners are a prime requisite. The warehousi of material in this "million dol\pl‘r organization" has become a very important project. It is comparable with the best warehousing methods in industry. In order to properly store over 100,000 different items in a preâ€"designed holding area, pallets, forklift machines and hand stackers have become standard equipment. In the past, the cubics used in any service warehouse were deâ€" pendent on manpower and also on manpower ability to handle or lift an object of any given weight. Therefore, warehousing was based on fixed bin positions of approxiâ€" mately 10 to 12 feet high in storâ€" age of light objects averaging apâ€" proximately 65 lbs. Heavier obâ€" jects could only be tiered shoulder height. The movement of large shipments was also a slow process due to the individual handling of each package at both the loading point and the unloading point. To eliminate these prblems and to store all items in such a manner that quick moves in the least posâ€" sible time could be affected, palâ€" letization of materials was introâ€" duced. Two types of pallets are gener-‘ ally in use. One is a box type measuring 40" x 40" used to acâ€" commodate light items and parcels. This pallet, constructed of wood or metal, consists of a platform base, 40" x 48" with demountable sides 40" high. The sides are tied in at the top with two stringers, These box pallets can be tiered four to five high giving an overall height of 14 to l‘feet. The other type of pallet, also 40" x 48", is known as the flat pallet, which is only a platform base used to accommoâ€" date heavier items in crates, boxes, etc. These can be tiered to any given height depending on the weight factor. e â€" In order to make full use of cubics by tiering all or any t{j‘n of pallet, the forklife machine has proved to be the answer, This maâ€" chine is primarily a mobile hyâ€" Per Ardua Ad Astra IIfracombe, Devonshire TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON BULLS FLY TO ARGENTINA By Elizabeth Richmond "Island Of Puffins" A favorite steamboat excursion from Ilifracombe is to Lundy Isle in the Bristol Channel. "Lundy" signifies "The Island of Puffins" for it is the nestingâ€"place of sea birds. The landing on the little island is made by means of small boats on a sheltered little beach near the ruins of the keep of Marâ€" isco Castle built in the Middle Ages. At one end of the little island is the famous Shutter Rock to which Charles Kingsley, the English novelist, referred in his historical romance "Westward Ho", when he described the wreck of a Spanish galleon. draulic elevator which can pick up loaded pallets from floor level and raise to desired height as governed by limitation of the loading. It is also used to good advantage when offâ€"loading or loading transport mediums reducing the time and manpower factors.. . ... . RCAF Trade Advancement Another favorite trip is to Clovelly, one of the most charming villages in Devonshire. Built on the side of a cliff, it has a picturesque single cobbled street, with a large number of steps. No car or cart can go through the street, and sureâ€"footed pack donkeys are the only transport. Old cottages huddle together on the winding street, and the front doors of some are on a level with their neighbors‘ roofâ€" tops. East of Clovelly is the famous Hobby Drive, which was given this name because its construction in the early 19th century was the hobby of a local resident, Sir James Hamlynâ€"Williams. _ Wide enough for the passage of a motorâ€"car or coach, the Hobby Drive ‘winds its way along the steep side of the cliff from the top of the village street for nearly three miles. It will be appreciated that the main function of & supply depot is to obtain, store and issue supâ€" plies to RCAF units as quickly as possible. This is to enable the units to operate with efficiency, as required by Air Force Headquartâ€" Skilled tradesmen are necessary to an efficient working unit. Conâ€" sequently, every RCAF unit is conâ€" cerned with a trade advancement program. Our program at 1 Supâ€" ply Depot is designed on the latest training methods available. Attenâ€" dance at classes is compulsory and instruction is made as interesting as possible. Lectures are given by competant senior tradesmen. Home study subjects are allotted for preparation by class groups, and presentation by two groups (or syndicates) the following week in class. Brevity is stressed and the Trade Advancement Officer conâ€" trols and guides the presentations. Periodic tests are held to check on progress. The majority of Air Fonce‘ Trades consist of Groups 1, 2 and 8. Certain specialist trades may advance to Group 4. Group 1 is normally given on graduation from a basic course during the initial training period following entry into the service. One year must elapse before the Airman is eligâ€" ible to appear before the Trade Advancemen Board to try for Group 2. He must pass in ten subâ€" jects, or phases, with a minimum 50 per cent on each and 60 per cent overall average. _ The visit of the Trade Advanceâ€" ment Board is the culmination of a program of trade advancement, and the unit is deeply concerned with the results of the tests, which are given orally. The Board visits the unit twice a year, and Airmen are encouraged to qualify for a higher trade group. | Reference and Technical librarâ€" ies are maintained in the Trade Advancement Classroom by the Trade Advancement Officer. These are open daily and books, precis, etc., are issued to interested perâ€" somnnel on loan. DVA corresponâ€" dence courses are available to inâ€" terested personnel in a multitude of subjects. Academic courses up to and including Senior Matriculation, Technical Courses, and Vocational Courses are provided free of charge on a home study basis. It will be seen that the RCAF is vitally concerned with the eduâ€" cation and trade improvement of personnel. Better tradesmen conâ€" tribute to a more efficient unit and efficiency is paramont to the RCAF program. ‘ In the first game of the three out of five finals in the Industrial League, the RCAF Flyers absorbâ€" ed a 5â€"0 shellacking at the hands of A.

The Air Foree boys, with two lines, were worn out trying to keep pace with the fast moving Jetmen. Our boys are to be congratulated for their very fine efforts in holding the powerful AVRO team to such a close margin. Our team was crippled due to transfers of Boyd, Van Caeseele, Rolfe, Smerâ€" don and Cpl. Merv. Hawke. Much of the credit for the team‘s develâ€" opment and progress in the Inâ€" dustrial Basketball League is due to the efforts of Cpl. Merv, Hawke. Unfortunstely, his transfer occurâ€" red before he had opportufity to see the full results of his work. Sgt.
