zONINO'S CREW
 HIGHLY LAUDED
Footwear Engineers Help IrnmeasurabIy in Making
 War Program Tick

The story of the work of the inc dustrial engineers in the Nausatuck Footwear plant is typical of the hard work and close cooperation necessary in converting workers, space and equipment from peace to war. This small group has helped make our war production watch tick.
 Tn the Naugatuck plant, a renovat- ed attic S2 feet by 166 feet has been fitted up as a special planning room. Months before the company made @ single barrage balloon, industrial en- gineers in that room worked out plans for balloon-making in our Wnonsocket, Rhode Island plant.
 Headea by Naugatuck's Chief In. dustrial Engineer, Fred zonino, the engineers in that room worked out details of the Naugatuck plants con- version from civilian footwear pro- duction to the production of bullet sealing tanks for airplanes, gasoline and water storage tanks, inflatable boats, pontoons and other war pro- ducts. The work belng done by these men is highly technical, highly skill led. It involves @ tremendous amount of thinking and planning. But their good industrial housekeep- ing has helped wing war productoin on its way. It will be equally im- portant when conversion back to peace production comes, and changes nn short notice must again be made.

wax cloaks against rain which are some good to resist water, but not the sun because its heat and rays melt it." Little was 1t realized at that time, that this problem would baffle the minds of men until Charles Goodyear stumbled upon the solution in Woburn, MaSsa- chusetts, over 200 years later.
 Probably the earliest successful commercial use of the substance was in England in TITO when 1t wal noted that it could be used to wipe out pencil marks from paper. Il was from this use that the sub- stance received its present English name of rubber. Although 1t is noted that this substance had been known and referred to by man fol centuries, it was not until 1791 that the first known patent was taken out on rubber. An Englishman Samuel Peal, received patent or "a method of rendering perfectly waterproof all kinds of leather, cot ton, linen, and woolen goods.
 The United States received its first shipment of rubber goods in the form of water bottles from Brazil in 1900, and 20 years later one pair of rubber shoes arrived here. It was in the same year 1920, that the first rubber factory was established in England by Thomas Hancock, an inventor who was responsible for many new uses of rubber, including a machine used to soften crude rubber. It was he who produced the first solid rubber tire used on Queen Victoria's car riages. From this point on the manufacture of rubber goods in- creased, and in 1923 the United States received its first shipment oi rubber shoes from Brazil. This wal an unusual shipment in that there were no rights nor lefts nor sizes These shoes were of little value a. they became stiff in winter and sof

 It would have been Q very diffi- cult problem to locate the proper climate in which to wear them, and they therefore, along with other prodcust, were of litle value.
 Tn 1883, six years before Good year hit upon the solution of vul- canizing rubber, the first manufac- turing plant in the United States started in Roxbury, Massachusetts, being followed by additional plants making shoes, boots, waterproof clothing, rubber hose, mail bags, and many other items which were O: value as long as the weather or temperature stayed normal, an obvious impossibility in this country.
 We note that during all these years there was one and only one problem confronting manufacturers and preventing rubber from becon- ing one of the greatest products that the world has ever known and this problem was not to be solved for another six years, when in 1889 Charles Goodyear was able to prove to the world that rubber could be so treated that products manufac- tured from it would withstand the heat of summer and the cold of winter.
 According to records on hand, at least three men had vulcanized ruh- Der prior to Goodyear's time. These men, Peter Jonas Bergius of Sweden in 1791, Frederick Wilhelm Ludens- dorff of Germany in 1882 and Jan Van Guenz of the Netherlands in 1886, were probably the first to vul- canize rubber, but they were not aware of the fact. Goodyear recog- nized the result and perfected the process. He also anticipated most of the uses today.
 Although Thomas Hancock pat ented his process prior to Good years patent, he was only duplicat- ing Goodyear's work. In 1851 at the London Crystal Palace World Exhibition 1t was said of Hancock that he discovered anew the pro- cess of vulcanization of rubber a new discovery of a fact already known .. @ novel solution of @ problem which was known to be solved" It may be stated therefore that Goodyear was the founder of the process of vulcanization.

TAX REVIEW OF
ELY mime asked
Oliver Petitions District Couri
to Invalidate 1912 Taxes
ON Pioneer Mine.

The Oliver Iron Mining company Is
requesting a district court review OF
the valuation and taxes levied on a
parcel of land in Ely IN 1942.
The st. Louis county board on Fri
day received a copy Of the petition,
but the city or the school district has
not yet been officially notified Of the
Oliver company's action nor have they
been sent copy of the petition, local
officials said.
The parcel of land involved Is be-
Iieved to be the Pioneer mine, but an
other mineral properties here win be
affected If the district court upholds
the claims Of the company, The Miner
is informed.
The petition states, the Duluth Her
aid said, that the real or actual value
of the parcel, including unmined ore,
did not exceed 81 100000 on May /.
1872 It claims the assessed value
should not have exceeded $50O,000 and
the total taxes should not have been
more than $63, ,150.
According TO the petition, the state
commissioner of taxes determined the
assessed value of unmined ore at
s., ,886, ,391, based upon purported fun
value of s5,772, ,7a2 The total assessed
value, with structures, machineries and
improvements considered, was fixed at
$2,941 .467, and taxes were $371 ,5N 28,
the petition alleges.
The petition requests that the COM
pany's claims be sustained, that the
1912 assessment and taxes be declared
invalid, and that a proper judgement
be determined.
The city is appealing to the state
board of review in regard to the valu-
alton of shaft pillar ore in both the
Zenith and Pioneer mine, but the ac-
ton now taken by the Oliver COM
pany forestaIls this appeal and the
matter win probably be settled in the
district court.
