MODERN INDUSTRY W FORMER COTTON MILL Aim is to make factory one of finest in North


A FORMER Clillicroc cotton mill is now the home of a modern industry and it is hoped to make it one of the most up-to-date factories and showrooms in the North. Pendle Mill was acquired last April by Flexible


Reinforcements Ltd., a completely new all-British company formed for the purpose of developing in this country production of a new type of reinforcement for PVC paper and other flexible materials. The original patents for the process are of Italian origin but the company will be the sole licensee in the U.K. The company is controlled


by four friends who have been closely associated in business for many years. They are Mr. J. R. Dewhurst, of Clitheroe, and Mr. L. Eventhall, Mr. J. Greibach and Mr. J. Wild, of Man­


chester. The mill has been extensively


modernised and structurally


altered to house the complex of new electronically-controlled

The friendly relationship which has been developed


between staff and directors can only be described as unique and an example to many strike-


trends for those aged 15 to 44 in the past thirty years. At the end of the 1930s there was a marked acceleration in the decline of the death rate for this age group. The effect of this today is 20,000 fewer deaths a year among those aged 15 to 44. I t is estimated that these addi­ tional survivors contribute a net gain of £110,000,000 a year to the National income. These figures are given in the latest report of the Office of Health Economics “Diseases which Shorten Life”. I t comments that “Tills

There were more young adult deaths due to tuberculosis in 1924 than there were from all causes In 1964. The death rate for the 15-44 ages fell from 1.858 per million in 1904 to 16 per million in 1964. For pneumonia, also, death rates have fallen to about one tenth of those in 1930. For childbed fever the death rate has fallen from one in 200 births in the early 1930s to one m

CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN FARMING


THE SELECTIVE expansion programme for agriculture with its emphasis on increased productivity set out in the National Plau cannot succeed without wise capital invest­


ment in land and fixed equipment. The problem is bow to direct this capilal investment by


securing improvements to existing buildings or by erecting new buildings in order to obtain more intensive production


in spite of a dwindling labour force. The current investment in


fixed equipment in the United Kingdom is probably of the order of £68 million annually, while some two-thirds of the money employed in farming is invested in land and build­

For this purpose it is not the cost per cu. ft. of building or per unit of livestock he needs to know but the annual charge and likely net return he can expect from his investment after allow­ ing for taxation, grants, and so on. I t needs careful professional judgment to assess these mat­ ters objective’v.


Size of farm


ment size of farm will play an important part. The kind of question one needs to ask is: does tlie present farm size pro­ vide an economic unit to en­ courage more intensive produc­ tion, or can this only be achieved by buying more land or amalgamating with an adjoining holding ? The propo­ sals on farm structure in the Agricultural Bill, now before Parliament, are designed to en­ courage a move in this direction. Tlioro has boen criticism

heart disease (which often followed streptococcal throat infections before they, in turn could be controlled by anti­ bacterial therapy) has led to a substantial reduction in deaths from diseases of the heart, e s p e c i a l ly in the youngest adult age group. For example, for 15-24 ; ear cld males, the rate has fallen from 100 per million in 1034 to 27 per million in 1964. However, for men over 35, the greater frequency of coronary disease has caused an increase in the death rate from diseases of the heart especially in recent years from 467 per million in 1948 to 749 per million in 1964. Nevertheless, the report draws attention to current progress, especially in intensive care units and heart surgery, which may help to reduce these rates in the future.

However, again, although suicide is now responsible for one in ten of all deaths among 25-34 year olds, the, rates aro still below tlie peaks reached at tho end of the last century and in the 1930s. Methods have changed, however. .In 1904, drowning, weapons and poisoning were each responsible for about one quarter of suicides in 15-44 year olds; in 1964, poisoning —in over half the cases by gas —was responsible for three
