Rubber

If you have difficulty In un-
Outstanding the chemistry les
son in all this synthetic rub
Der talk, you're normal. Over
simplifying, the process goes
something like this: .
Basic material is ethyl alcohol,
which can be made from starch
grains or sugar, or syntheticalIy
from ethylene gas, a petroleum
by-product. In the case of
sugar, yeast is added to dilute
solutions, q ferment sets up,
and the resulting mash is dis
titled to produce alcohol. . -
The alcohol is converted into
butadiene, which is q gas that
can also be obtained from pet
rOIeum. . . . Butadiene has
the property Of pOlymerizatiOn,
which means that one molecule
can be built on another until
you form q solid. . Q When
styrene, a substance which can
be obtained either from coal or
petroleum products, is intro
duced with butadiene, the two
substances condenSe or poly
merize to form rubber. > . .

I combination Of circumstances have
escaped being mentioned in coro-
ner's inquest.
The most dangerous area is on
East Main street within q few yards
of Exchange Place, where in the
course of a day thousands Of pas
sengers board or alight from q con-
slant stream Of buses. AS the west
bound buses pull into the ter
minal grazing the curbstone prac-
tically for distance of so to IS
yards there is a surge Of waiting
passengers. Passersby are frequently
caught in the rush and pushed to
the edge of the sidewalk. Time and
again both passer-by and pedestrian
are forced to the edge Of the walk
many with their backs to the in
coming buses. 1t has been miracu-
lous that accidents have been avoid
ed in the past, but as conditions
are growing daily worse Waterbury
may not be so fortunate much
longer.
Merchants Protest
East Main street from point
marked by Kay Jewelry's store to
Musler & Liebeskind's has for years
been the official stopping places Of
buses travelling west on East Main
street. Merchants in that sector
have frequently protested that their
display windows and their entrances
are constantly blocked by scores of
persons awaiting transportation
The "jarn" at times makes it al
most physically impossible for a
timid person to make his way
through the throng. 1t takes full
backs "line-bucking" tactics to
make progress at certain hours.
+ To the complaints of the mer-
chants have been added the pro-
tests of pedestrians and passengers
of being pushed about rather I'M
tremendously of late. The shortage
of buses, the increase in patron
age, the rush of defense workers
and other factors have of late added
to the seriousness of the situation.
New Terminal
A few weeks ago formal pro-
bCoU W0O 4S0SC0 W4bAA 14AC 0OnAA "a
police commissioners by East Main
street merchants whose businesses
have suffered as result of the
congestion. It was suggested in a
petition that the Connecticut Rail
way & Light company be advised
to move its terminal to q point on
West Main street along the south
side of the green. There is ample
space there and it would be only a
question of time before the public
would become accustomed to the
change and later would appreciate
the fact that the new terminal
would be less dangerous and decid-
edly more comfortable for all con-
cerned.
From viewpoint Of safety and
from the sadly perplexed merchants
angle the change would be welcome.
A report from the police boards
special committee is anticipated
with considerable interest.

Mobilization officer; Major Arthur
c. r. Beers, New Haven, national

and Frank j. Cusllner, Ansonia, his
tcrian.
The convention also adopted reso-
lutions advocating Newburgh, N. Y,
the town in which General Wash
ington originated the Purple Heart,
be the scene Of all future conveI1-
lions in the eastern zones; 1t
thanked the Veterans Hospital and
Veterans Home officials and en-
ployes for their. services and another
resolution thanked New Britain for
its generous hospitality"
A resolution calling for a realistic
understanding democracy and
measures to- preserve it against fu-
ture conflicts was also passed. This
resolution urged that the United
States maintain a strong defense
program to meet threats from ma
tons which never have had peace
full aims.

FARMERS AIDING
SALVAGE EFFORT
New Haven County Col
Iects 2,6l2,9S5 Pounds
of Scrap in April

New Haven county contributed
2,612,985 pounds of scrap to the
salvage collection drive during
April, Chairman Seth Low Pierre
pont of the state salvage commit
tee reported today to State Defense
Administrator Samuei H. Fisher. The
report covers 38 per cent of the
county population.
Statewide collections during April
totalled 12,97O,391 pounds. OF this
total 7,055,906 pounds were in the
form of scrap iron and steel, 1885,
189 In paper, and the rest in light
scrap iron and steel, 4838, 189 in pa
per, and the rest in light scrap
metals, rubber and rags.
In his report to Col. Fisher, Mr.
Pierrepont pointed out that the
totals from rural counties indicate
farmers are continuing their salvage
efforts, despite a shortage Of help
and the many hours needed for
planting during April.
Naturally" Mr.. Pierrepont said
"the gasoline rationing has had a
marked effect upon the salvage to-
tails In some areas, but in most
points the local Salvage chairmen
have been able to carry on with col
lections of rubber and scrap iron.
These impressive figures for CIV
ilian contribution of war materials
still represent only part of the
whole flow of salvage from the state.
A vast tonnage of commercial scrap
iron, metals anud rubber is moving
at faster pace through waste
dealers yards all over Connecticut
Even so, everywhere manufacturers
are feeling more keenly the need
for raw materials with which to
wage war. Today salvage ma
terials have become critical and
indispensable part of the raw ma
terials OF the land. Salvaged rub
Der Is being mixed with crude rubber
to make sponge rubber life RATS,
tank installation, etc. This, rub
Der Is needed In ever greater quail
ties, along with scrap Steel" Pier
pont said.

Helen Haugh, chairman of the serv-
ice for the combined high schools.
The Junior Red Cross has devoted
itself to collection of useful dis
carded articles, making of posters,
signs, Stretchers, army kits and
numerous other articles. 1t also has
helped to raise funds for defense
projects and numerous members
have assisted activities sponsored by
local defense units.
