He was never left out of anyIhing and always enjoyed people, Anyone who ever met Steven wa touched by his trength, courage, determination a nd out look, He was a great leacher, who laughl many people 10 count their blessings, Although he never spoke a word , never tasted food and could nol walk, Steven was the single greatest thing Ihal ever happened in my life, "

RUEARC AND EDUCATION

The Need for National Ec nomic Planning

I t is chal1lcte risti c of a numbe r of government agencies. some busi·

ness associatio ns and many private organ izations to issue pe riod ic projections regarding the U. . econo my. These projections, based on a current trend a nd a li ke ly objective. provide an estimate o f future possibil it ies regarding the economy. Projcclions, however, are calculated on a range of as umptions whic h don't always contain the Un predictable; such as an energy cris i . in nation. recession. wartare. etc. Therefore, they ex hi bit some .hortcomings and ;o n obvious lack of pl ann ing.

It is the I BEW's belief the economy of the Uni ted ta tes is so important to Americans and to the global communit y it would be served best by a national economic plan . Such planning should involve labor. the busine communit y and govern ment. It mu.t incl ude short-term and long-term goal ' which should be fo llowed.

Protections 2000

The U. . Depart ment of Labor. in its publicatio n Projec tioll .l· 2000, 5ays the rate of economic growth. as measured by real gross national product (the total value of all the goods and ervices produced in the nat ion adjusted for price changes). i, expected to inc rease by 40 perce nt or 2.4 percent a year from 1986-2000 . Th i is slightl y less than the 2.5 percent annmtl growth rate over the 1972- 1986 period. It a lso projects exports will increase fas ter than imports and that employment in manufactu ring will decline.

The DOL project a labor force of 139 mi ll ion people in the year 2000: t he labor force today numbers 126 mIllion . The DUL. in its moderate economic growth projection,

hows 21 million new jobs over the

Projections are calculated on a range of assumptions which don't always contain the unpredictable.

1986-2000 period- mo,tl y in se rvice-prOducing indu~ lri cs. In fact. more th,," 20 millio n of those new jobs are projected to bc added t lhe se rvice-producing "ector. Service-producing employment will constllutc approx imatcly 80 percent or a ll wage ami ,ala ry jons ny the year 2000. These figures represent a low<lown in j b growt h. a trend which began in the la te 1970s.

Pmjecl i(JIIs 2000 stal s while education a lone isn't the >olution to all labor-market problems it', clearly importa nt in the 'olution. The report says information on fut ure j h

growth and the educati on and training neceS'llry for the new jobs are important for all labor-force n,pjra nt s. T he DOL maintain occupations requ iring the most edu a, t ion and trai ning arC projected to grow mOre ra pidl y, whi le admitting .ervic job are among those which require the lea,t amount of ed ucalion.

The D L also projects the ,urplus of college graduate, which began in the early t970; will con tinue through the end of the centu ry and that unempluymell t will range between 4.5 pe rcent and 7.7 percen t.

It is vital the United Stales recognize the importance of education and the contribution it can make toward a solution to unemployment and to economic growth_

Questions Raised

The DOL projections. a long with the projections of o ther groups. leave a 10L LO be desired as fa r as Lhe welfare of the U.S . economy is concerned and e mphasize the need for national economic plan ning . Are we to be sat isfied with these projec tion ,'!

It i, vital the Un iled States recognize Ihe impol1'IIlCC of education and Ihe co ntri bution il can make toward a solul ion to une mployme nL and to e unomic growlh . It is equally '" vital. however. the United State, recognize that edu ation alone won'l ,olve Ihe economic problem, Oll r country fa ces .

Employment opportunitic, must be available . People's need< and la lent< vary.

Conclusion

What future docs the United State, faee in a world in which the United States sinks for lack of lo ng- range economic plan ning whi le ol her naLion, prosper because o f their nationalistic poli ic,) The United States needs a comprehensive, longrange. national indust ria l po licy w hich wi ll addre" the job needs of all worke". provide for full employment and provide for ec nom ic growth .

al ional econom ic planning necessilates the selling of goals-some short-term goa ls to resolve e urrenl deficicncies . 10 be sure. but primarily long-term goab which will represent a comm itment to the welrare of uur nalion 's economy and 10 its workers and their fam ilies. Such planning mu t include the availability of a wide range of jobs suitable for all people who wa nt to work, from the leasl educated to the highly educated . from the untrained and Ihose with no ,ki ll to the trained and highly ski lled .

Our nation and a ll it, c it izens would benefit from effective . longterm economic planning and a rcponsible commitment to the planned

e a nomie goals. Discipline in o ur trade posture, Ihe revi ta lization of our industrial base, a nd the creation of meaningful and li fetime jobs can provide us with a thriving economy-{)ne which would be second to none in the world and would con tribuLe Lo a beller (,lIldard of livi ng for a ll orlh Ameri ans.

CANADIAN LABOUR REPORT

llSenlor" Shouldn't Mean IIOut of Commission"

O lder workers in most industrialized nations presented one

big problem foll owi ng the postwar baby boom: Younge r workers couldn ' t enter the labour market. becau se senior workers retired too late to make room for them. Thus , early reti rement plans gained popularity. with the once-mi nim um pe nsionabl e age of65 beco ming the maximum.

Bu t the tables have turned , and this so lut ion is pre enti ng problems rather than helping progress. Industrittlized nations arc reel ing squeezed by two demographic groups: The ranks of se nior citizens wi ll swell , but the arm y of younge r workers will dwindle. In addition. more people are realizing that "putting oul to pasture" a time-tested. experienced. quality worker is a waste of training, skill and talent.

While lhe aging of the labour rorce i irreversible. perhaps their continuing employment-{)r se lfemployment-will help invigorate the economies of industrialized nations. The International Labour Offi ce is conducting research into this

possibili ty, focusing on workers over 55 year, o ld and on what training will help them retain job . begin new careers or become self-employed.

Preliminary findings show: Older workers aren 't necessarily

They believe peopl e might lose parl of their intellectual capacity due to their' W<l Y of liv ing not their learning poten ti al. For instanc ,people in all age groups can h<lve their potenlial stun ted when they're not forced or motivated to use thei r br~lin power.

exhi bit be tter j udgment, have fewer accidenls and maintain beller job morale.

However, despite the accurnu lat· ing evidence for the productiveness of older worker , training and rCtraining programs are virtually nOR

exist.ent. At the very least they are unknown . One program whic h has proved successful in Hamilton. Ontario. provides flexible wage subsidies as a way to re integrate older workers. Part icipants receive intensive counseling to determine suilabili ty for j obs and to trouble hoot per onal problems; such as lhose affect ing healt h. It costs an average of $3.000 per person to ubsidize training time for about 17 weeks. Of those hired almost 90 percent have changed their careers; some jobs were created especially for the program's parlicip'lIl ts .

AnOlhcr rarilY i retraining. particularly since in North America skill adjustment or new-skill acquisit ion is viewcd as usefu l on ly for specific prospective e rnploymentnot as a valuable tool in it elf.

Retraining is a sound investment. The evide nce acquired thus far in the survey indicates special training programs des igned to capit a lize on olde r workers' skills are not only beneficial , the benefit s far su rpass the costs.

While it is inevitable the next decade will wit ne s the conti nuing aging of the work force , it is also evident the workers in lhis group arc mentall y younger and longer living than their parents. Can the bu iness world afford to waste a human resource which is beller informcd. more active. more Hexi ble and has more vitality than its counterpans in decades past? I§.

HamelSing Electrolllagnetism For Advancing Technology

All too often the technologica l develo pment of a device or

inslrument whic h is frequcnLly used in home •• businesses and industries tend to be taken for grant ed. One such instrumenl is the motor. Most people aren't fa miliar wi th Ihe basic lechnologic'l l principles and concepts invol ved in the operal io n of motors .

Electric motors playa tremendous role in modem life. but unlcs we're ad verscl y affected we' re nOl aware of tbe impon ance of motors. For example , Ihink about the elecIric molors wh ich stan gasoli ne engmes in cars. open and c lose car wi ndows , cool the rad iator. pump window-wa her ftuids. keep the water pump circulating. What abou! motors which operate tollgates. typewriters. lawn mowers, conveyor belt s. escalators and elevators. We blow-dry our hatf and use power tools and probably nCver think about the motor technology wh ich make it all pos ihle.

In Ihe early 18005 cient ific inquiry iot fa nature of a magnetic field evolved into Ihe invention of the firs t eleclri motor which was granted a U.S. palent in I 37. Conlinued experimental re ear h and development produce,! a multipurpose. multispeed. electromagnetic device-I he motor-whi h COmes in various sizes and conAgurdtions with diverse application;.

Tedtnology of Motors

The many different jobs mOlors perform range from the compact motor in a 35mm camera to the ma mmoth pumping and propul sion motors. lLsed by space sdentist.s. No matter what a job cnla ils, motors normall y play an important role. Simply defi ned. an e lectric motor is an electromagnetic device

which convens e lecuical energy in to mechanical energy. The electrical energy fu rnts hes the voltage and current requirctl to operate the motor. The ba;ie principl es of an clect ric circuit can be underslood b comparing it to a hydraulic system (Figure I ).

Vall age refer. to an ele I.rical force III a cm::U1l , callSlng:J current to Row Ihrough Ihe wire. The amoun t of current Howing in a circ.uit is measured in lUI/peres . A ' the current is forced Ihrough the circui t by the vollage. it encounters an elccltical frielion. resis/al\('e. which reduces the flow of urrent. I he relationship among voltage. cu rrent and resistance is know as Ohm's la\ .

Georg Simon Ohm . a mat hemati • and ph y ies inslructor. published a pam phlet in 1827 called Mlilhemalica/ J hear." of Ihe (jalwlIIic Cirellil. Th is pamphlet COntains the basis ofOh m' s law , which aile. ted to the theory that eac h current i pushed alo ng by a definite inten ity or pressure. The circuit opposes thi. pressure; and the size of the opposition varies wit h the conductor's thickncs , Iengl h , com-

position and even temperature. In any irctJit the volume or quantity or cu rrent tlow tS a lways direct ly proportional to the pre sure: When one volt i. appl ied to a circuit and one ampere nows in the circuit, thcn o ne ohm of rc.istance is present. This principle ha been used by electricians domc;. tically and internallonally and " the mea ure under which the operat ion of an elec tri cal device has been determined. However. in Jan uary 1990 new representations of the volt and ohm will. by international agreement. replace current representalions.

Motors perate on certain pecified voltages according to motor type and Ihe number of , talOr poles within the armature. All motors arc const ructed with a stator frame and poles. a rotor. and a means of supporting the rotor to prevent friction On Ihe slator pole during rotalion.

However. this motor has a very low sta.1ing torque (abollt 40 percent of a ful l load torque). T he shaded-pole motor is used fo r small fans , clocks, inexpensive record players and small pumps, where low cost and maintenance are more important than efficiency.

Direct Current, Alternating Current-A basic DC motor consists of poles which set up a magnetic field , an armature made of a singlcturn loop, commutator and brush assembly. When DC voltage is applied 10 the brushes , a current Rows around the loop which lie ' in the magnetic field. Direct current Hows in one direction in a circui t. Alternati ng CUITenl reverses its direction at regu lar inle rva ls. T wo reversals of current direction of the AC motor comprise a cycle. The number of cyc les AC makes per second is called frequency _ The internat ionally defined unit of frequency is hertz, equal to one cycle per second. AC suppl ies single-phase an d three-phase currents, which are simply alternating cu rrenl s with different timings.

Universal-These operate satisfactori l y on DC or AC an d are reliable. Universal motors are generally bu ill in small sizes and operate al high speeds. In fra ctional siz.es Ihe universal mOlor is built in to all kind s of high-speed tools and portable appliances. Large ;n tegral sizes of this motor arc ideal for hoist and traction wo rk where spced mllst vary inversely with thc load.

cl itions are easi ly incorporated. Two basic types of polyphase induction motors are the squirrel-cage and the wound·rolor.

The squ irre l-cage motor is a definite-purpose motor. simple in const ru ct ion , versatil e , with a low maintenance cost. It ' s used for in dustr ial puq)OSCS like powering an elevator, drill presses, hoists and printing presses . It's one of the most effic ien t motors built. su itable for lI SC in area~ whe re the air contains explosive mixturcs. Thc wound-rotor motor is rugged and morc versat ile than the squ irrelcage molOr. l IS speed-torque characterist ics can be modified easi ly to the task, enabling its lise for a wider range of applications . Howevcr, maint.enance cost is h igher~ and construct ion is more complex .

Motor Efficiency and Protection

Motor efficiency means different things to difTerent people and manufact urers. Using the "expected or minimum effic iency " expressed by the manufact.ure rs for motor specificat ions is best. A manufacturer' s guarantee is the wisest way to select an efficient mol or .

The National Elect rical Code prior iti zes safety factors in the installation of elecl ri cal equipment.

Preventive options for mechanical overload are mandated by the N EC on the motor-nameplate nomenclal ure (Figure 3). Art ic le 430 , Pan C. of thc NEC speci fics the information the manufacturer must suppl y On the nameplate. Requi re ments are modiAed fo r spec ific motor lypcs.

Volt, Ohm Changes Announced National standards laboratories of most major industrialized countries have, by international agreemenl, instituted new representations lor Ihe voll and ohm, effective January 1, 1990. Signilicant differences now existing among the va lues of some national representations of these units will no longer apply.

The National Insti tute of Standards and Technotogy reported changes in the value ol the vall and ohm would increase or decrease , depending upon Ihe standards and inslruments affected to be consistent with the rest of the world. Standardizing U.S. and foreign representalions tor the voll and ohm wi ll eliminate the differences in variation and will be consistent with Ihe represenlalions as defined in Ihe International Sys-

lem of Units. Detailed specifics on Ihis instrumenl

adjustment can be found in the July 1989 issue of IEEE Speclrum, Volume 26, No. 7, pages 20-23. Other publ ications which probe lurther Into Ihe changes of volt and ohm representat ion are 1263, " Guidelines for Implementing the New Represen tations 01 the Volt and Ohm, effective January I, 1990." Authors are NOiman B. Belecki. Bruce f. field, Ron· aid Dziuba and Barry N. Taylor. Also, "New Internationally Adopted Relerence Standards of Voltage and ReSistance," published in the March/April 1989 issue of The Journal of Research of the National Institule of Standards and Technology, Volume 94, No. 2, pages 95-103.
