1939 Key Worker?

[Rena]

Can someone decipher the second line for me please?  These two words were written against three other men on the same page.

It's written against my father's name on the 1939 register.  He was the assistant foreman (chargehand) in the machine shop of a company (Priestman Bros Ltd of Hull) that made the excavators used by the land army girls to dig ditches.  He was also in the Homeguard but I doubt that's relevant.

Heavy worker.

Heavy Workers were entitled to extra rations in WW2.

Aha !  Thanks Dundee and tonepad. 

I've just realised that eons ago I was taught to write capital aitches ending with a curlicue, so I should have known.

Interesting to learn about heavy workers given extra rations.  Our dad was a 6'2" lamp post which was a comparatively rare height in our area
