Women, work and war : industrial mobilisation and demobilisation, Coventry and Bolton, 1940-1946
No full textThe emphasis in this thesis is on women's popular
attitudes towards the two processes of industrial mobilisation
and demobilisation which took place between 1940 and 1946.
Although the work includes a survey of the national picture of
those two processes, it concentrates on case studies in two towns
which exhibited different characteristics of women's employment,
Coventry and Bolton. This is done in an attempt to see if the
tradition of women's employment affected their attitudes towards
war work. In Coventry, the best sources of women's employment
were for single women. During the nineteen-thirties it was obvious
that the motor industry employed increasing numbers of women, but, again,
the unmarried. The economic participation rate in Coventry was slightly
lower than the national average. On the other hand, the cotton industry
in Bolton customarily had engaged married women as well as single women,
therefore, the women's economic participation rate was about 10 per cent.
higher than the national average. Local custom with regard to married
women's employment appears to have affected women's ideas About their
domestic responsibilities. Coventry women were more reserved and more
conscious of their domestic role. However, the comparison between the
two towns also brought out similarities as well as differences in women's
attitudes to industrial mobilisation. During demobilisation, the
similarities between Coventry and Bolton were more strongly marked.
The majority of women war workers had no intention of staying on in the
factory, in jobs which were still largely thought of as 'men's work'.
Most women thought that their well-being was dependent on men's secure
employment and high wages. They did not want to do anything to threaten
it. There seems to have been little antagonism between men and women
during the mobilisation and demobilisation period
Introduction to the event program for the 20th anniversary of Free Acres
No full textThis introduction, written by Bolton Hall, was included in the event program for the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Free Acres. Free Acres was inspired by Henry George, who believed that land should be communally owned by citizens, and that citizens should use whatever income they made from the land as their means of living, not as tax payments to the government. However, the community recognized that it had civic responsibilities in paying some government taxes. Therefore, members of Free Acres who were landowners apportioned their land to the community, and non-land-owners rented it. This allowed equal access to natural resources. Tolerance and freedom from too many constricting laws were also practiced at Free Acres

Comparison of Tooth Size Discrepancy of Three Main Ethnics in Malaysia with Bolton's Ratio
No full textThe objective of this study was to investigate the applicability of Bolton's ratios in orthodontic population of Malaysian main ethnics; Malay, Chinese and Indians. Ninety convenient samples consisting of 30 pre-orthodontic study casts from each ethnic that fits the inclusion criteria were selected. The greatest mesiodistal widths of each tooth from six to six for overall ratio and three to three for anterior ratio were measured using a digital callipers linked to Hamilton Arch Tooth System software to the nearest 0.01mm. Means of the ratios were calculated using Bolton analysis. One sample t-test statistic analysis was carried out to compare the means with Bolton values of anterior ratio and overall ratio and one-way ANOVA was used to analyze comparison between ethnic groups of the anterior ratio and the overall ratio with the level of statistical significance set at p < 0.05. However, there were no significant differences when comparing Bolton values with Chinese and Indian anterior and overall ratios. The Bolton standards could be applied to Malaysian Chinese, Indians and Malay's female. Subsequently, a specific standard should be used for the Malays orthodontic population.Article URL : http://www.ukm.my/jsm/pdf_files/SM-PDF-41-2-2012/17%20Aida%20Nur%20Ashikin.pd

An edition of the Coucher Book and charters of Bolton Priory (Yorkshire)
No full textThis thesis contains an edition of the Coucher Book of Bolton Priory, an Augustinian house in Yorkshire, together with edited sections of Dodsworth MS 144, like the Coucher Book, a copy of the lost cartulary, and a number of original charters. These documents have been edited in full, with each being preceded by a caption in English together with a date and references to other copies. The edition of the Coucher Book contains notes as to where those sections believed to have been omitted from the cartulary are located in Dodsworth NIS 144. The chapters which precede the edition are intended to give some context to the edition, as well as a brief examination of its contents. The first chapter contains a short history of the Augustinian Order, its development in England, and how Bolton Priory fits into this scheme. Chapter two is concerned with the patrons and benefactors of the priory. It is divided into two sections: the first examines the founders and patrons of the priory and their descendants, whilst the second explores the non-patronal benefactors of the house, with a brief analysis of several of the families who were connected from an early date with the priory, as well as the extent of their support and their motives. The third chapter investigates the estates of the priory and their development. Temporal property is examined first, focussing upon the various types of property acquired, together with its location, and methods of acquisition, and then spiritualities: those churches in which the canons acquired an interest, and to what extent as well as how this was acquired. Finally chapter four examines the lost cartulary and the Coucher Book, exploring their administrative histories, as well as a brief analysis of the charters of the founders and others
