A JANUARY 3. 1953 goseosooo-oo -NEWSY British Plan! or The following information was ;,iecured from the December month- gty news letter issued as: "This is gai-itain": Ten thousand young ,omen have joined the British Eerritorlal (reserve) army. They , ave signed on for periods of two, three and four years. They receive their training usually after work ours in the evening, with occa- pional week-ends at training cen- tires, to fit them to man Britainis twork of radar and to undertake pther military duties. More than half of them will serve side by side with men to direct the anti-alr- craft guns, and missiles for the protection of Britain; while other women reserves will be with sig- 'nals, ordnance and service corps. zrhey camouflage vehicles, drive trucks. repair engines, pack trop- ical kl-ts, use teleprlnters and carry on many other jobsto replace men Ej-lequired for the Armed Services. '7 These trainees must attend from tcight to fifteen days,annual camps ffor Territorial training, which are held in conjunction with Regular .Army troops. At these camps they practice activities designed to fit them for active service. They take part in mock battles and air raidal A Board selects officers from the ranks. Those chosen are given a definite training course for fifteen days. Most of their employers allow time off for their employees to at- tend Territorial camps. Many of the Territorial Army girls get married: these are then given three months in which to decide whether they will complete their training or resign from the Force. Athlone Fellows. The Athlone Fellowships for re- search in 'engineering were first established. for Canadian students in 1951. The selection boards meet. at eleven Canadian Univer- sitles, to choose, each year, 38 young Canadian "Athlone Fellows" These you engineers who have shown gxrea promise, receive from the Fellowship funds tuition fees, maintenance and travelling ex- penses for two years of advanced work of their own choice, in Brit- ish Universities, industrial and re- search establishments. The Dean of Engineering is the chairman of the annual selection board at each university. This board is made up of members of the faculty, representatives of Canadian industry, and represent- atives of the United Kingdom, and of this board Mr. James Thomson. the United Kingdom Deputy High Commlssio . was a member last year, and will be on this year's board. ' At present, there are '14 Athlone Fellows at work in Great Britain, among the key research centres. The 1952 group are located at Cambridge University, the Imper- ial College of Science and Tech- nology, the Royal College of Aero- nautics, English Electrics Ltd., Rolls-R o y c e Ltd., Metropolitan Vickers Ltd., and the National Gas Turbine Research Establishment. The 38 engineers chosen will ar- rive in Britain in September, 1953. The'1il51 group will then be re- turning to Canada, to put into practice their invaluable experi- ence, and their improved qualm- catlons should enable them to E Knutsford Sunday School Presents Christmas Concert -At the Knuisford Baptist Church the members of the sun- day school presented their annual Christmas concert.

Television ' Last year. when we were in Britain, we had an opportunity to see fireside television at Claoton- on-Sea, Essex County, seventy-five miles from where it was being broadcast from the Bkylon, on the grounds of the Festival of Britain, on the south bank of the Thames near Waterloo Station. We were not greatly impressed by the show- ing, but were told that weather conditions were unfavourable. and that television was usually much clearer. The dreams of Britain's televis- ion pioneers are much nearer be- ing accomplished this Christmas, when 8075. of the population of Great Britain can, if they wish. tune in on one of the five main transmitters that havegbeen estab- lished under the British Broad- casting Baslc Plan. with the com- pletion, this year, oi two addition- al high-power stations. These pi- oneers plan that Britain, which "inaugurated the world's first tele- vision service in 1936", should be the first country in the world to be welded together into one tele- vision family. This Christmas, the March of the Kirk O'Shotts station in Lan- arkshlre, which is one oi the most powerful stations in the world, was opened in March, 1052. and will carry Christmas television programmes to Scotland for the first time. Its potential range will reach about three and one-half million people. 0 C The Wenvoe giant transmitter, near Cardiff in Wales, the fifth and most recent BBC Station, was opened in August, and w-ill reach in Wales and the West of soot- land, another four and a half mil- lion potential viewers. All these have, since last Christmas. joined the increasingly large circle of viewers that were receiving tele- vision broadcasts provided by the great high-power stations located near Manchester, Birmingham and London. chrisvtmassy programme sched- ules have been arranged, and drama, variety shows, children's features, pantomime and Yuletide parties will be distributed from the main London studios t?yough- out the television network or Brit- ain. In addition, Mobile Television Units will visit clrcuses and thea- tres in London, and additional units in Scotland, and near the other great stations will be relay- ing items from sports and concert halls in those areas. Britain is also pioneering inter- national hookups. They plan. next June, to show on television in France, Holland, Belgium and Germany, the Coronation of 1-lei Gracious Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
