Abstract
THE fifth Glass Convention will be held at the Norbury House Hotel, Droitwich, on May 18–21 under the presidency of Mr. H. S. Williams-Thomas. This year will be an important one in the history of the British glass industry because in London the Society of Glass Technology has just concluded its twenty-first anniversary celebrations, and in April the Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia will have glass as its outstanding motive. A subject which is engaging the attention of industrialists at the moment is the trade cycle, on which Mr. Harold Macmillan, M.P., will speak during one of the business sessions. Mr. Ronald Cartland, M.P., will give an address on “Recent Industrial Legislation”. The presidential address will be entitled “Craftsmanship in Industry”. Prof. W. E. S. Turner will lead the discussion on the presidential address. Of no less interest are the technical sessions arranged by the Society of Glass Technology, the subjects being “Glass Finishing Processes” and “Plastics and their Relation to the Glass Industry”.
