Only a supreme optimist would imagine that the question will be solved overnight. but as a contribution to the cause these short films are well worth anyone‘s viewing. To any char e that they are "loaded" and propaan a. the plea has to be an unapologetic yes. ut the logic put forward in the films remains undeniable.

When someone next poses the traditional musical question "What shall we do with the drunken sailor?" one unlikely-.5.ounding solution could well be to sit him in front of a nod film. Even better would be to discourage from achieving inebriation in the first place. this bein the object of a new weapon about to be adt ed to the education armoury. The power of film is to be brought to bear on a problem which. although presenting itself in different guises from earlier eras. is probably as old as the ;\';ivy itself. A series of short Colottr films to be added to ri.i\.il libraries shows how c\‘i:essi\e drinking and employment on highly complex equipment ;ire not good mixers: how' it can lead to loss of position. of money which can be ill-spared. and of dignity: and how it can kill not only the drinker but the innocent as well. Those who view the films will. no doubt. relate to at least some of the incidents portrayed. and it might well be wondered how many will recognise themselves from some regretted morrtents of their careers.

great leveller

"Being in a ship. and particularly a small ship. is a great leveller. When you're standin on an open bridge. freezing cold and covere in salt spray and heaving your guts out into a bucket. have to be quite a chap still to be the leader. you ust being a gentleman isnt enough." Speaking of an earlier age. he said the captain of a ship was captain absolutely. ln manv ways toda- he still was and there was no doubt that this lped to make his ]0I1 that much easier. In most circumstances the captain could say. like Harry Truman. "the buck stops here." Over the years codes of racticc had grown up. been put on paper and andcd down. so that "man management" had evolved into the Divisional system. This was given its first expression in 1779 and had continued for J!) years to be the system on which all the Nasyk man-management was based.

Job satisfaction

Rear-Admiral Graham said that however menial a man's task. he must believe in it. He would not do it well or even at all unless he received encouragement. "I believe that job satisfaction more than any other single thing is what makes a man want to st: with you. If you can give a man real job satis action. that more than anything else is what he is looking for. "Of course pay is important. so are conditions of work. conditions at work. frin e benefits and so on. But my experience has le me to believe that if you provide job satisfaction there is almost that is out of your reach. A good team nothing of willing men can achieve wonders. work long hours for days on end. accomplish far more than you might reasonabl expect and all because they are getting job sati. action."

People operated better if they were trusted and allowed to get on with doing the ;ob their way ‘‘I saw mv role as the captain to lav down the ground rules for what I wanted and then. havin picked the men for the gob. let them get on wit the detailed irnplementation." "When I was the second in command of our Naval (‘ollege at Dartmouth the commander I saw my yoh as being the Divisional Officer's Divisional Officer.

"You can say to a body of sailors painting a shi ‘s side. ‘No shore leave for anyone tonight un ess the painting is finished by seven o'clock‘ or you can say. ‘All night leave tonight lads if you finish painting by seven o'clock?" Rear-.-\dmira| Graham concluded; "No system of management. no form of words. no structure of organization can be any substitute for the close personal contact between men. in as wide ti variety of situations as possible. which is the basis of confidence and trust. and the fundamental Principle upon which the exercise of the management of men must rest." »—
