Abstract
THE Fuel Efficiency Committee of the Ministry of Fuel and Power, under the chairmanship of Dr. E. S. Grumell, has arranged a conference on “Fuel and the Future” to take place in London during October 8-10. During the intervening months, a campaign to promote fuel efficiency and fuel economy is being undertaken by the Ministry through various agencies, and the Conference is intended to focus attention on development during the next five to seven years, and on the fuel savings that can be made, in industry, non-industrial premises and homes, with the aid of the new equipment now becoming more readily available. Most of the sessions will be held at the Central Hall, Westminster. The opening session on October 8 will be addressed by the Minister of Fuel and Power and by the Minister of Health. Afterwards the Conference will meet in eight separate sections, six of which will be concerned each with one group of industries having related fuel problems, one with the problems of architects in connexion with new housing, and one with women's views on domestic heating. On the morning of October 10, there will be general discussions on the “Sizing and Grading of Coal” and “District Heating”, while in the afternoon the Minister of Fuel and Power will take the chair at the closing session, when the sectional chairmen will survey the proceedings of their Sections. Particulars of the meeting can be obtained from the Ministry of Fuel and Power, Fuel Efficiency Directorate, Queen Anne's Chambers, Tothill Street, London, S.W.I, or to any Regional Office of the Ministry of Fuel and Power. The Institute of Fuel is co-operating in the Conference and has accordingly arranged for the Melchett Lecture to be given on October 8 ; the annual reception, dinner and dance of the Institute are to be held on October 9.
