Finance Drive to gather together funds to make
it possible for the Boy Scouts of America to carry
on their most useful and worthwhile activities in
the Territory now is in progress, Approximately 80
Juneau citizens have taken the tough job of coll
lections.
The Scouts have proved beyond doubt, especial
y in recent months that their services and activities
are we'll worth continuing Whenever tough job
has come along, a job that many persons and or
CARNATIONS don't face with RELISH that job has been
turned over ito the Scouts And it has been well
done. There probably isn't person in Juneau who
hasn't been done favor by the Scouts in the last
year
Now it's your turn to help provide the Scouts
with the wherewithal to continue these services.
Juneau Scouts turned in more than 1000 pounds
of rubber in the recent campaign and helped to put
Juneau at the top of the list far ahead OF other
communities Juneau Scouts have offered to be the
victims" in First Aid Unit practice drills and have
helped civilian defense activities in many other ways
But in addition to all of these services, Scouting
activities provide something to do for the Territorys
youth provide healthy outlet for boysh ambitions
Certainly tie Boy Scouts of America deserve
your support.

TWO TYPES OF RUBBER

How Dearborn got his appoint
ment and why the Standard-Texas
group was so favored by Rubber
Reserve is not known. Some OBJ
servers point to the old friendship
between William Parish, $l44 900
president of Standard Oil of New
Jersey, who knew Jesse Jones for
wears in Houston. Jones and Ross
Sterling, then president of Stan
dard's Humble Oil Company, were
partners in various enterprises, and
Parish, later president of Humble,
grew up under them.
On the other hand, some point
TO the fact that Standard Oil OF
N. US patent pool with the Ger
mans made their synthetic rubber
patent the most logical one to use
Actually, though most people
don't realize it, Standard of N. j.
mad two types of rubber regarding
which ii was cooperating with Ger
many. One was buna rubber, which
was the product of a slow process.
The other was butyl rubber, which
Is newer, cheaper and quicker.
Regarding these two types, here
is the inside story of what hap
pened. About ten years ago, Stan
card of N J. acquired I. G. Farben-
industries patent on buna rubber
with the understanding it would not
be made in the United States; white
]. G. Farben acquired Standards
patent on synthetic gasoline with
the understanding it would not he
made outside Germany. 81
Once Hitler came into power he
proceeded TO make both synthetic
gasoline and buna rubber in Ger
many and make great deal OF it

GAVE IT TO HITLER

1t was at about this time that Bill
Sparks, scientist for Standard IT
N. j., discovered a new form Of
rubber called isobutyl;nc, generally
referred to as butyl, which could
be made much quicker and cheaper
,i.an buna. " $40 r.
And although Hitler had refused
TO give Standard the secrets on
buna, Frank Howard hoped over
to Berlin in March, 1888. just at
the time of Hitler's invasion of
Austria, and gave the Nazis this
precious secret. All he got in re-
turn was 1. G.. Farhen's promise that
lit would endeavor to procure Hit
ler's consent for the exploitation of
Iubber-like products in the United
States"
Some time after this, inventor
Sparks resigned his mcager $4,5G0
salary But Howard rushing back
from another trip to Europe, pro-
tested that he was his most valr.-
able man, and rehired him at a
highe: salary.
Meanwhile, Standard of NJ j. was
neeping this new, cheap butyl rID-
Der very much of a secret from
American rubber companies. And
ON Nov. 6. 1899. after war broke,
Frank Howard wrote an inter-of-

flee memo stating: There is j
considerable temptation to public'ze
this butyl rubber development and
to seek contact with the rubber
companies on it immediately, bur a
sounder policy apparently is to ccE-
fine TIE development TO our own
organization"
And 1t was not until March T.
1910 that Frank Howard fipal.
suggested letting Firestone use tie
butyl rubber process, This was t'5fJ

when L. IS. war advisers were de

is that Standard of !. j.. is NV

Miles River Regatta,
Once Big Affair, Now
Mere Rendezvous
lnformoI Race Schedule
Only Is Planned for
Weekend Selling

Special Dispatch TO The Star
ST. MICHAELS. Md, Aug. Be
cause of the war, the annual regatta
of Miles River Yacht Club. normally
Chesapeake Bays biggest marine
event Of the year, here today ana
tomorrow will become a relatively
small rendezvous.
Robert A. Dodson, club commo-
dore, said there would be no definite
racing schedule, but that club MEM
bers believed they should offer some
entertainment and sports program
for civilian morale.
He said they would arrange races
tomorrow for any and all boats that
may turn out, and that if there were
not enough boats to make up class
race they would be sailed on q
handicap basis.
Registrations must be in the hands
of the committee by 9 pm. today
for races tomorrow. Events ashore
include games, dancing and an ad-
dress by Gov. Herbert r. OConor
tomorrow night.
Missing for the second year will
be the famed bay log canoes, once
proud racing machines that ruled
sailing circles here on the Eastern
Shore. Crews were hard to find to
man the tricky craft and owners
found boats too expensive to outfit
for just one or two races a year.
Old hands here who recall the
heyday of the canoes-back 10 or IL
years ago-hope that when sail rae
ing Is resumed on Miles River the
canoes again will have a prominent
place on the program.

The cause" of course, is the win
ming of the war, and Ginger Ann II
as soon as she is outf1tted and a
crew of coast guardsmen placed
aboard-is slated to have share in
that fight.
Captain Goes With Yacht.
The Rawleys, enthusiastic yacht
ing people for more than five years,
here, took their last cruise on the
yacht last week, fishing trip down
to Ragged Point. They had made up
their mind some time ago that
further use of Ginger Ann for pleas
ure purposes, when the Government
so sorely needed craft Of the type,
was not playing the game.
I'VE hope she will do a lot Of good
for the service" Skipper Rawley, a
partner in a local bottling concern
said.
Happiest man of the hour at We'd
nesday's ceremonies-you'll have to
admit that parting with a mans
boat, perhaps for years, isn't exactly
a joyful occasion-was Capt. Henry
Dickerson, who has been the Raw
ley's professional skipper for five
years. He remains with Ginger Ann
as skipper and receives the rank OF

They are Ken Robertson and Cliff
Dyer. These two own a 26-foot
