At Ford we know that quality in cars depends on the calibre of men. The pace of your career with us depends on that calibre as surely as the speed of your car depends on the power built into it. Ford build more and more cars, trucks -and tractors, need more and more men. Tne headquarters of this expanding company is in Brentford in Essex but ford is going ahead in London, Dagenham, Liverpool and Swansea. We need A L L kinds of graduates—mechanical engineers and scientists, for design and development; arts men, scientists and economists.
Our training programmes are tailored to suit individual needs. Engineers may choose a two year graduate apprenticeship or shorter training and appointment within a year; mere are courses for finance trainees and graduate trainees—those interested in sales, purchasing, industrial relations and marketing. Graduates will find Ford rewarding! Salaries being at £960 per annum minimum. Most arts and economics graduates will be earning £1,150 in less than a year—engineers get an increase of at least £100 at the end of each year of their apprenticeship. From then acceleration depends on you.
Promotion at Ford is traditionally from within and graduates have accelerated quickly here. Management Development operates to make sure they can.
There's much to interest the graduates at Ford. See your Appointments Secretary, or write for details to J S Smale, Room 1/178, Ford Motor Company, Warley, Brentwood, Essex, who will be visiting

ICI Mond Division manufactures more than half-a-million tons a
year of organic chemicals, many of them based on petroleum feed
stocks, as well as the traditional products such as chlorine and
caustic soda. Capacity is being increased by a capital investment
programme which is currently running at more than £20,000,000
a year, and in everything we are doing chemical engineers are
key men.
To match the increasing technological complexity of our processes
we are particularly interested in recruiting capable and enthusi
astic young men to work on process design and development in its
widest sense, from research to full-scale production. Effective use is
made of such new techniques as the use of mathematical models in
process kinetics, scale-up and control studies, and the application of
computers to the design and optimisation of process flowsheets
and equipment.
Young men are deliberately given wide experience and substantial
responsibility which can fit them for the many senior jobs to be filled
in the Division in the next 10 years.
If you wish to learn more about us, chemical engineers from Mond
Division will be visiting you shortly and can be contacted through
your own careers advisers. If this proves impossible, please contact:—

ICI Mond Division,

new men... new knowledge... new problems to be solved...
Today's children will grow up in a world that Is
being remade before their eyes. They will have a
wider range of opportunities. They will also face
problems calling for new solutions. Today's
children need the most imaginative and creative
teaching. Teaching by men and women who are
among the ablest of their generation... graduates
who are among the most outstanding of their
year. Teachers have greater influence on future
generations than any other profession. lw

When will you own your own house?
Earlier in life than your father did, when plans to
build 500,000 new homes annually come to fruition
in a few years time.
One thing is certain. No industry is going to expand
more dramatically in the next 20 years than the
building industry. It's got to, or Britain will be
one decaying and overcrowded slum.
Take Wates. They are among the biggest builders
and civil engineers in the country. But, more
important, they are among the most imaginative and
forward-looking.
In the next 15 years, Wates intend to double their
productivity.
To do this, they need graduates in science,
technology and the arts.
So does every firm in the country, but the point
about Wates is that their programme is going to
create a lot of room at the top.
And Wates will always, for preference, promote
within the company.

See your Appointments Board now and get an
appointment to meet Wates on the above date.
Or you can write to the Personnel Manager, Wates
Ltd., 1260 London Rd., S.W.16, and arrange a time
to suit yourself. Wates would like you to meet
graduates who have

the Cup holders in excellent
style, combining well and mov
ing the ball quickly and accurat
ely from man to man... the for
ward line continually broke
through the Kings defence and
Hopwood was unlucky to see his
header go just wide from a
Crawford free kick. Such was
the pressure exerted by I.C., due
mainly to the wing forwards
snapping up chances, that it took
King's ten minutes to launch their
first attack.

S H R U G G I N G O F F the effects of a four week lay off and the
-absence of a key player for almost two thirds of the match,
I.C. brought a damp and gloomy Harlington to light with a final
five minutes of superb rugby. During this period they scored two
tries, giving them victory over L.S.E. by 9-3 and a place in the
semi-final of the Gutteridge Cup.

FELIX WEEKEND
CHEMISTRY EXAM CRISIS OVER ?
" M o d " Battle at Hop
Until last Saturday, although the " M o d " representation at the H o p had
been steadilv increasing throuehout the year, there had never been any
serious trouble. T h e fellows had been mere'v content to dance among
themselves—practising the latest steps—or to i ' " a* their girl-friends. U n
fortunately, they now seem determined—; bly because of their
increased numbers—to disrupt the dances.
T H E P A R T O N E F i n a l Examin
ations for second-year Chemistry
undergraduates have been returned
to- their original dates. This was the
result of discussions between I C
President Adrian Fletcher and the
H e a d of the Chemistry Department,
Professor R . M . Barrer, last Wednes
day.

than Mr. L i v e s e y 1 s meagre knowledge of these t o p i c s , w i l l confirm t h a t these comments
are i n the f i r s t ple.ce w i l d l y wide of the mark, and i n the second, downright u n t r u e .
With regard t o the second paragraph, the executive was concerned and i n t e r e s t e d

I am not p a r t i c u l a r l y concenned w i t h the f a t e of Mr. L i v e s e y ' s motion as i t i s
p u r e l y p a r o c h i a l and whichever way the vote goes, I do not b e l i e v e any world s h a t t e r i n g
