Unsung Heroes of BIitz
Are Experienced Roofers

Unsung heroes of many bomb
ing blitz of English cities are its
roofers. Even before the bombs
stop dropping these men are hard
at work covering gaping holes in
roofs and walls with temporary
patches of roofing felt. Theirs also
is the job of covering blasted win
dows with roofing felt to keep out
wind and weather.
Thanks to them, reports James
McCawley, editor of United Roofers
Magazine, in recent issue. tens of
thousands Of knocked-out build
ings have been restored to service,
and both occupants and contents
protected. Mr. McCawley's report
came from England, where he is
studying English methods of COM
batting the effects of fire-and demo-
lition bombing on the roofs of struc-
lures. i7F t ''&

For Building

Postwar Plan of
Producers Counci!

Preparation of working drawings
and specifications for essential post
war building now is a practical
part of planning for the future.
the Producers Council declared this
week in letter to the United States
Chamber OF Commerce.
The statement was made by J. w.
Follin. managing director of the
council, as he urged the chamber
to declare its policy on this matter
during its next annual meeting.
He said:
Contrary to the impression that
may be created by the recent post
war recommendations of the Ma
tional Resources Planning Board,
this advance planning is important
to all business and industry, not
just to the Government alone. Pub
lie works are essential both to urban
and rural living and to support
expansion programs OF industry and
commerce, but normally public
works constitute only about 80 per
cent Of the total construction pro-
gram.
Hence it is more important that
all branches of business and indus
try should utilize architectural and
engineering service now available to
plan essential construction projects
that can be undertaken immedi-
ately on the cessation of hostilities.
Value of Preparation Cited.
There is substantial basis for
predicting that the total immediate
requirements for construction fol-
lowing the war may overtax con-
struction facilities and the supply
Of essential materials and equip
ment. The far-sighted Industrial

SaIvaging Of Paint
Urged 10 Conserve
Strategic Material
$4,000, 900 Pounds
Can Be Saved by
Cooperative Action

Recovering the critical and stra-
tegic materials from wasted paint
is part of the general program of
getting into the production stream
all salvageable chemicals vitality i'm
portant to the war effort, says the
current issue of Chemical and Engi-
neering News, publication of the
American Chemical Society.
"A Nationwide survey of the paint
situation, made by the Industrial
Salvage Branch, War Production
Board, has shown that approximately
100000 pounds of paint ingredi-
ents can be saved this year through
cooperative action by the paint
manufacturing industry and its con-
sumers," it is pointed out.
These include pigments, phthaHc
anhydride, glycerin, oils, zinc yellow,
glycerin phthalate resin, phenol for
maldehyde, Damar gum, alkyd resins,
chlorinated rubber, ethyl cellulose
nitrocellulose and plasticizers."
ouppneS OF these materials are
limited, 1t is pointed out, and their
use in paints has been restricted.
Most of the products coming of
present-day assembly lines are
"mass-painted" by spray painting
processes. About 80 per cent of the
paint used can be recovered by
tested and effective measures"
TN the few years since reclama-
ton methods have been perfected, +"
1t is explained nearly 5000 900 GAL
Ions OF paint have been reclaimed.
1t is estimated that available facil-
tiles for reclamation of wasted spray
paints are sufficient to handle all
tne present requirements. Approx
mately 40 major paint and other
companies have facilities available. "

ComoufIoqe in Garden

Dark green tints used on poles,
trellises and other props in the
garden render supports less con-

to blend with the vines or plants
which they support. Cloth or raffia
may also be colored green to render
them inconspicuous when used to

Then the questioning started, and

whether to draft fathers to give

general staff said should be in

Gen. Hershey (Selective Serv-
