l7HARI.0TTET()WN Efficiency Exports Mocitod

The civil servant does not take anything ightly and a well of humour must have oeen filling in the Hon. J. W. Pickersgili for years before, as Secretary of State and a politician, he was able to throw off the impassive mask and poke fun at the foibles of very important persons. The v.i.p. he has prodded are all too accustomed to point- ing out to inferior mortals the absurdity of their ways. The efficiency experts, for they are the victims, have harried malty depart- ment head and janitor and it is only just that they should occasionally be taken down a peg or two. At any rate this is what Mr. Pickt-Jsgill has to say. . -

The efficiency! experts applied their technique to a concert they went to hear and report on thus:

l

properties such as control surface positions, strains, pressures, and torques, the "time multiplex or sharing” system is adequate. This provides a large number of separate channels for the transmission of data, each with a low frequency response. 9 1

For measuring the wave forms oecurw ring in electrical equipment carried by it i missile,- however, channels with a high fre- quency are required, for which the P.P.M. (pulse position modulation) and time divis- t ion systems are usually empioyedf

Two systems fulfilling these require- ments have been evolved by the U. K. Min- istry,of Supply scientists and are already in quantity production. Each -consists of; one type of ground receiver with several- variations of airborne transmitter equip-l ment. ,

These two sets provide adequate and largely complementary coverage for fre- quency response up to 200-230 cycles. The first (Time Multiplier) system provides 23 channels for the transmission of data, at further channel being reserved for syn-, chronization. The second (P.P.M.l sctl gives up to 20 higher frequency channels

sub-commutated to give lower l'requency channels. .

If necessary, and if sufficknt space is available, both sets can be installed in a missile, or two of the first systems and one of the second can be fitted to provide 46 lower frequency and 20 higher frequency

"For considerable periods the tour oboe players had nothing to do. The rumbcrs, should be reduced, and the work, spread more evenly over the whole of the concert, thus eliminating peaks of activity.

"All the 12 first violins were playing;

identical notes. This seems ulinecessalu," duplication. The staff of this section should be drastically cut; if a large volume of sound is required, it could be obtained by means of electronic amplifier apparatus. - "Much effort was absorbed in the play- ing of demi-semi-quavers. This seems an excessive refinement. It is recommended that all notes should be rounded up to the nearest semi-quavcr. If this were done, it would be possible to use trainees and lower- grade operatives more extensively.

"There seems to be too much repetition of some musical passages. Scores should be

drastically pruned. No useful purpose is

served by repeating on the horns a passage the

re-

channels.

At a Penn State foot- ball game it is reported that, "Hordes of local small fry came over the fence when

strings. It is estimated that if all dundant passages were eliminated. whole concert. time of two hours could be

reduced to 20 minutes, and there would be.

no need for an interval.

"The conductor agrees generally With, these recommendations, but expresses the opinion that there might be some falling- off in box office receipts. In that unlikely event it should be possible to close sections of the auditorium entirely, with a conse- quential saving of overhead expense-light ing, attendants," etc.

For Baily-Sittors

Rules for baby-sitters and suggestions which will help them to do a better job have been published by the Ontario depart- ncnt of public welfare and are recommended 1y the Truro Daily News as an enterprise that should be worth while in view of the record of tragedies in the province due to

he carelessness or inexperience of young.

people who look after children.

' Advice in the booklet to the effect that the baby-sitter should always know where the children are, and what they are doing, is of prime importance. The recommenda- tion is madc never to leave a baby alone, except. if he is in a crib, play-pen, or fasten- ed in his carriage. Even surprisingly young babies fall off beds or tables or tip over a highchair. Even after the children are asleep, the booklet advises, the baby-sitters should not relax their watchfulncss. They should keep awake themselves and make rounds of the house every hour. zellar door and shift for smoke. Check the stove. Tip-toe into the children's rooms and make sure they are covered and breath- ing quietly and regularly.

If such advice could be placed in the hands of every young girl who engages in baby-sitting, the majority of them would better appreciate the seriousness of their jobs. Lives are entrusted to their care, something that involves conscientious atten- tion. Just "being there" is not sufficient.

The technique of fuelling at sea great- ly extended the range of naval operations and reduced the advantage of the posses- sion of widespread bases.

HARD EARNED DOLLAR-5

Sir.-I liked your editorial en- quiring: "Why H l R h P. Y Food Prices?" and was glad to learn that "An inquiry into the growing spread between farm and retail food prices has been ordered in the United states by Secretary of Agri- culture Ezra. Benson. Farmers can't understand why food prices should be rising when agricultural prices are dropping. Mr. Benson proposes to find the looking into the distribution meth- ods lmd profits."

I heartily concur with the idea, as expressed by one of your Tor- otnto contemporaries. that a simi- lar inquiry in Oanada might have equal merit,

'In this connection. I noted the following reply by the above 'u.s. fnrm authority in the colnse of n subsequent interview to the quest- ion: "Dn you think food prices are too high, Mr. Benson?" "Amer- icana are blessed with an abund- ance of good food, It now costs Americans at smaller part. of their income for food than in nearly any other country in the world. Only about one-fourth of their in- come (after taxes) goes for food. If the inference is that the con- sumers feel that prices are too high, then certainly one thing is true-the farmer can't the blamed for those prices. At. the present time he. is getting just about 44 cents of the consumer's food- dollar." (Newsweek. Oct. My

There isn't. much doubt. in my mind that the farmer serveslhls urbnr. customers well and faithfully. On the other hand I-living at him heart of the city-have it definite Impression that the farmer always works twice as hard. and twice as long, far his rurnl dollar as the urban Canadian has tn work for his. On balance, therefore, I have no fault to find with the lat-mnr. with reference to the increasing cost of filling the food-basket in either Ohnrlottotnwn or Toronto. we are still using a hnrsc-and- bugs! distribution system!

A reader of this column thinks it 1:. time for me to" make 9. mid- season report of the results of my hunting. I don't know why, for I am in no sense a. good re- presentative of the Nlmrodlan spec- ies. and neither my success nor failure in the chase would have much value in computing some statistics. However, for what. it. is worth. this is the report as at noon. Oct. .27: -

In view of the fact that I have been on the prowl every after- noon slnce the aeasoncopeued (ex- cept Sundays, or course) these results can hardly be called en- couraging. On one occasion I was all set to bag a half-dozen mal- lards. or so I thought. At the last moment I discovered that the birds were of the barnyard vari- ety: a dviscovery, incidentally, that did nothing to further the cause of cheerfulneu.

On another occasion I was near enough to a gafly coloured phea- sant to make life uncomfortable for him. but the manner of his take-off so intrigued. me that he was weu out of range before I realized that I had been outwit-

There has been no lack pf ex- citing antlcipationa. however. One such Anticipation came my way only yesterday. n.nd.for 1 time I felt certain that. the disappoint- ments of the put two weeks were about to be forgotten in a bright

l blaze of hopes fulfilled.

An old friend arrived with the exciting news that he -knew a. place where there were "thousands and thousands of ducks." To hear him hell it, it was simply a matter of pulling triggers. You just. couldn't mlu. What was more, he knew I man who owned I. do: which was giuuuateod to bring the luokleu birds, one by, one, to any spot. we might care to designate.

I am not a man to turn down that kind of pro- position and. iahhough. it was raining in torrent: (".1u.st the day for ducks", my friend suggested), I was all no; to enter on the ex-, pedition, makinz sure meanwhile to have plenty of ammunition for
