It Is also vwtn switches in the belic-t that the area would be supplied soon.

Yesterday Mr Dobell told members of the board at Kendal that the supply had not yet arrived, but the North Western Electricity Authority proposed to erect an overhead line to cover the Patterdale vallev south course of about ten kilometres, and five laps will be flown. The aircraft will be d.vided into classes, and in the preliminary events (on April 30, May 28. and June 11) there will be eliminating trials.

Fitm's importance to Industry in this role is further proved by the fact that the Hooer Rating Film has already been borrowed by oer forty organisations throughout the country. Hoover Limited are putting Film towork in many other ways.

Film is helping them lo train their salesmen, to entertain their stall', to demonstrate selling techniques 'so home and overseas Dealers, to keep their products always in the public eye. Film, in fact, is one ol" the Company's most valued training auK me lines established on the Continent. Kach competitor will be given a number of compulsory figures Mich as loops and roils, and will then be given a time period in he may periorm voluntary figures. Marks will be given by a panel qf judges, composed largely of test pilots, for accuracy of flying, the positioning of manoeuvres in relation to the spectators, transition from one manoeuvre to another, and other details. It is hoped that the new British aerobatic competition will be included in the series of international aerobatic competitions as one counting for European and eventually for world ciiaiopionships.

Considerable money prizes are being otlercd to the winner. The rules for the aerobatics will lay down a minimum altitude of 100 metres in order to guarantee public safety. It is likely that all dimensions will be given in the metric system so -hat the contest may fall within the pattern of other competitions of a similar kind held abroad.

If the planning board insisted, on amenity grounds, that the power line should be underground, said Mr Dobell, the extra capital cost involved would have to be borne bv the consumers.

During a discussion Mr C. Bicknell said that probably as many visitors passed through that part of the Lake District on their way down Kirkstone Pass as in any part of the national park apart from the Windermere to Grasmere route. Tens of thousands went there every year, and he regarded the proposal as something of a test case which would afreet the future very closely. The line suggested covered 4i miles and was probably the best from the electricity authority's point of view and the worst from their's as a planning authority. If they were to negotiate they must bear in mind the standards upon which they had to work.

Start in Spring Mr Dobell, who presided in the absence of the chairman, said the electricity authority had informed them that they were prepared to start with the overhead line in the spring unless they were prevented by something, and unless negotiations took place there might be a feeling that the planning board were (he people who had held up the provision of electricity to that part of the Lake District. The Rev. H. H. Symonds, of Ulverston, thought that the question was of such importance that if need be the decision should be given by the Minister responsible after an inquiry.

He adopted the Four Pawns Attack against Fttderer's King's Indian Defence, and great complications developed in the middle game.

Do you sometimes yawn over tlie facts ami In the early stages of a new product, a number of things can happen between the birth of an idea and the appearance of the finished working drawings. And one of the first thoughts that often enters the mind, of the designer is does the idea lend itself to fabrication in plastics B.I. P. is well qualified to answer this cjuestion. Within our organisation are specialist technicians and draughtsmen who have given the whole of their working life to plastics, right from the early days.

They develop and make many lines in the Plastics Industry, from moulding powders to tools and presses and the finished article. Together with our Product and Mould Design Service they constitute an organisation which is unique in the Plastics Industry. The benefit of their research is freely at your disposal. Use it!
