JANUARY 4, 1923 PERSONALS Married Lieut. HENRY E. POWER, 1st East Surrey Regt., attached R.A.F., son of the late Hugh Alex. Power and of Mrs. Power, of 10, Dunsford Place, Bath, was married on December 14, at All Saints', Cairo, to MARIA JOHANNA, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. EMILE VAN KONYNENBURG, of The Hague. Items Major NOBILE CARLO M. GRAZIANI, M.C., Air Attach^ to the Italian Embassy, left London on December 29, for the Continent, on leave. WE are advised by R. P. Wilson, Esq., C.B.E., M.I.C.E., M.LE.E., that he has resigned his position as Director of Aircraft Supplies at the Air Ministry, as from the 31st ult., and will now continue his practice as Consulting Engineer— previously carried out at 66, Victoria Street—at Central House, Kingsway, W.C. 2, :•• ;-.;..• a m m m ' -^ ' •• \ A Happy •• Family " Gathering CHRISTMAS EVE at the Cricklewood works of S. Smith and Sons (M.A.), Ltd., the well-known manufacturers of aviation and motor accessories, has always been devoted to merry- making and a time for real social intercourse between the management and the workers. This year, however, marked a still greater development in the social side of Smith's (M.A.). The whole of Friday afternoon, December 22, was devoted to a children's party given to the children of all the workers in the factory ; altogether over 350 children were entertained to tea, followed by " Punch and Judy," and a very fine Marionette Show, while the orchestra played selections the whole afternoon. A huge Xmas tree, loaded with presents, and lit by a number of Smith Inspection Lamps, was erected in the centre of the large canteen, the role of Father Christmas being taken by Mr. B. Haviland, the works manager. Each child was presented with two or three presents from the tree, and before leaving received the usual oranges, nuts and a balloon. Mr. Gordon Smith, managing director, was present, together with the directors and departmental heads, and all joined very heartily in the fun, truly demonstrating the spirit of goodwill and understanding that exists throughout the Smith organisation. The whole of the expenses were borne by the directors, management and staff of the factory and sales department. Great credit is due to the genial Sports Secretary—Mr. E. G. Peskett—and members of the Organising Committee in making the whole day a complete success. Mention must also be made of Miss Wilson, who is manageress of the canteen, and organised the catering arrangements in a very thorough and businesslike way. At 6 p.m. the children's party finished, and the evening was given over to a social and dance. A number of musical turns were provided, and the even ng closed with cheers for the organisers and for those responsible financially for the success of the function. A Display of Air Mail Stamps IN connection with the Annual General Meeting of theHerts Philatelic Society, which will be held at Pagani's Restaurant, Great Portland Street, W. I, on January 16 at5.45, Mr. H. L. Hayman will give a display of aero stamps and some rare covers. Aero stamps now form an importantsection of Philately, and Mr. Hayman has, we believe, some very interesting specimens in his collection. After thedisplay, dinner will be served at 7.45 p.m., cards for which for members and their guests can be obtained (4s. 6d. each)from the Secretary, W. M. Holman, 101, Ladbroke Grove, W. 11. m m m m PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED Aerodynamik. By Prof. Dr. Richard Fushs and Prof. Dr.Ludwig Hopf. Richard Carl Schmidt and Co., Berlin, W. 62.
