RESETTLEMENT THERE are many officers and men of the. R.A.F. who are demobilised or are about to be demobilised. In order to assist those who are undecided or are seeking advice as to their prospects in civil life, the Editor has arranged for an expert, with wide experience of service, industrial and educational conditions, to give advice to those who may solicit it through the medium of this Journal. Applications, which must be in writing, should be marked Resettlement, and addressed to the Editor, FLIGHT, 36, Great Queen Street, Kingsway, W.C. 2. They will be dealt with in these columns, as far as possible, in rotation. A. C. G., LIEUT., R.A.F.—Unfortunately a considerable number of ex-officers and other ranks are similarly placed. One course, and perhaps the most satisfactory in the long- run, would be to complete your training as a solicitor. If necessary, you should obtain financial help from the Ministry of Labour for this purpose. As you have not received any systematic practical training, you will find it extremely difficult to obtain employment in a responsible technical capacity. However, no harm can be done if j'ou apply to the leading motor manufacturers ; state fully your qualifica tions and seek an appointment on the business side. F. F. J., EX-RIGGER (Aeroplane).—Your suggestions are very sound. There are evening courses on aeroplane design and aero engines at the Regent Street Polytechnic. You should communicate with the Principal, from whom you will receive full particulars. Your example of keeping in touch with and improving your aeronautical knowledge in your spare time, with a view to resuming your connection with aviation when developments take place, should com mend itself to others. S. G., Ex-RIGGER.—You will be well advised to give up any idea of finding employment as a rigger in commercial aviation for the present, as vacancies are scarce and the number of experienced riggers available is considerable. Why not return to your pre-War employment ? * X XX COMPANY MATTERS J. Samuel White and Co. THE report of J. Samuel White and Co. for the year ended April 5 last states that, subject to the payment of the balance of munitions levy and excess profits duty for the years 1916 to 1919 inclusive, but after providing lor depreciation, the accounts show a profit of ^185,381 ; £58,893 was brought forward, making ^244,274, out of which the following amounts have been paid :—Income tax, ^34,315 ; expenses re-issue of capital, etc., £1,045 ! interim dividend on the ordinary shares declared September 20, 1918, £14,000 ; one year's preference dividend, £8,400, leaving £186,514. It is now proposed to pay a dividend on the ordinary shares at the rate of 4s. 6d. per share, less tax, which will absorb £44,100, leaving £142,414 to meet the balance of munitions levy and excess profits duty for 1916 to 1919 inclusive. The values of additions to buildings, plant and machinery have been written down in the accounts at the rates allowed by the authorities in previous years. The works have been fully employed during the year, chiefly upon Admiralty work. On the change over from war to peace the Government gave orders for reconditioning work, and orders for other work having been booked the directors are assured that the establish ment will be fully employed during the current year. Wolseley Motors, Ltd. THE report of Wolseley Motors, Ltd., for the year ended September 30, 1918, states that negotiations are in progress with the Inland Revenue in regard to the assessment for excess profits duty, and a provisional amount has been set aside in the accounts in respect of this liability.
