Great India Rubber
 Case Makes History

fore the trial, which lasted eight days, opened. It is remarkable that he prepared for the case in such a short time. We can find very little of the trial on record except Websters final address, speech of 30,000 words and taking up 54 pages in pamphlet. Day had 1i3 witnesses, most of whom claimed to have vulcanized rubber prior to Goodyears discovery. There were Il witnesses for Goodyear, and the dispositions of these witnesses filled a book of 1900 pages.
 After hearing numerous indivi- dual claims to prior rights to the invention, Webster tallied with the following: We assert that Goodyear is the first man upon whose mind the idea ever flashed or to whose intelligence the fact was ever dis closed, that by carrying heat to a certain height 1t would cease to render plaster the India Rubber and begin to harden and metalliZe 1t. If there is Q man in the world who found out that fact before Good- year, who is he? Where Is he? On what continent does he live2

human being that can stand up and say that it is his invention, except the man who is sitting at that table,"
 Six months lated the decision was handed down in favor of Goodyear Day was ordered to make account ing and to pay damages, but 1t was necessary for him to be returned to New Jersey as a fugitive, he hav- ing sold his interests and fled the state prior to this time. The de- ciSion' was not favorably received as an article in the weekly True American of october 1, 1852 states MT. Day has the sympathies of this community (Trenton) despite the judicial ban under which he and televiston, construction, food labors. Our Hndest wishes ever attended him, as the friend of the distressed and the indomitable ad- vocate of the rights of the honest mechanic"
 Webster was not to live long af- ter hearing of the decision. He died on october 24, 1852. His funeral was well attended and, strange as 1t may seem, Rufus Choate, the opposing counsel at the trial, de- nvered the eulogy at his grave.

Rubber Company Plants Paid Recent Tribute in
 Nationwide Broadcast

Naugatuck and the Naugatuck plants of the United states Rubber co. were honored on Sept. 26 in Q coast -to-coast houkup of the ColufIl- bia Broadcasting System, paying tri- bute to the ht1ndredth anniversary of the Naugatuck Footwear plant which is being celebrated this month.
 Tn the broadcast it was pointed out that, "At Nau9autck today you will find the early plant greatly expand- ed, turning out besides footwear, bullet-sealing fuel cells Co protect our sky fighters from enemy gun fire. You win find thousands Of tons of synthetic rubber rolling off the pro- ductlon line.

these two plans along with thirteen
 older ones were all merged and be-
 came the United States Rubber
 Company, the oldest and largest
 rubber footwear companies in the world. Of the fifteen that merged at this time, only these two remain
 in operation at the present time.
 During the first years the United States Rubber Company was actu- ally a holding company, but in 1895 the company consolidated It's vari- ous units into Q single organization. It was not until 1889 that consolida- ton was finally completed
 Tn 1905 the company acquired the Rubber Goods Manufacturing Com pany, and in 1907 acquired @ ma jority interest in the Canadian Con. solidated Rubber Company, Ltd, thereby covering not only the entire field of rubber manufacture but also nearly the entire continent.
 Tn 1910 the company acquired large tract of land in Sumatra, Dutch East Indies. on which they planted their own trees, and today own the largest plantation holdings in the world. Of course these plantations are temporarily in the hands of the Japanese, but 1t is expected that they will be returned shortly, and this temporary loss has resulted in a new industry springing up, synthetic rubber manufacture, in which the United States has done the unexpected in production in the last two years.
 The company now has number of synthetic rubber plants, the one at Institute, West Virginia being the largest in the world. It Is claimed that in thirty months research in synthetic rubber more has been learned than in the last thirty years on natural rubber. There is not very much than can be said of this new product but the various goods made from 1t are said to be superior in many ways to those made with @ natural rubber base. As this product is in its infancy, there is sure to be stupendous strides taken in the next few years, and if pro- keeps its rise. we may soon produce here more than we would be able to obtain from the East Indies. Regardless, we may be sure that the U. s. Rubber Go. will con- tinue to lead the world in the rub Der industry.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-10-12

kt all seasons of the year in 1889, but it was not for two years be- lore the public would lend an ear to his appeals for aid which would enable him to continue his experi- ments and produce usable items made of rubber. The public, hav- Ing suffered many financial losses investing in rubber manufacturing firms, was not easily convinced that he, Goodyear, finally had come upon the answer. Of course, one of the reasons for the delay was the fact that the public wanted to see for Themselves just what effect cold and heat would have on the new prod lict, and naturally 1t was necessary for them to await changes in sea- sons for this to be done.
 Finally, Goodyear appealed to his relatives for assistance; he found his brotner-in-law, William deFor- est of Naugatuck, Connecticut, suf- ficiently interested in the process to back him financially. This was the same deForest who was called on repeatedly by Goodyear for financial aid during his lifetime. MT. Goodyear went to Naugatuck, there- fore, and thus gave to that com- tnunity the honor of becoming the original vulcanized city of America.
 On September 12, 1843, Goodyear gave to the Goodyear Metallic Rub- Der Shoe Company a license to manufacture footwear under his vulcanizing patent. Manufacture be- gan that month, according to rec ords still in existence, and thus be- gan an industry which has contin- ued in Natugatuck from that day without a break.
 On January g, 1845, the company availed itself of the corporation laws of the state of Connecticut, and incorporated with a capital of $30,000. The incorporators were William deForest, Samuel G. Lewis, and Milo Lewis, all related to Good year by marriage and William H. Elliott of New Haven.
 The Litchfield India Rubber Con- pany, incorporated in l844 and suc- ceeded in 1947 by the Goodyear India Rubber Glove Company which transferred it's operations from Litchfleld to Naugatuck in that year was an early ncensee and has had an unbroken line of operation to date.
 These two plants, the Goodyear Metallic Rubber Company and the Goodyear India Rubber Glove Com pany, now merged and operated as the Naugatuck Footwear Plant of the United States Rubber Com pany. are the oldest unit in the world manufacturing vulcanized rubber products and the oldest unit in America with an unbroken record in the field of vulcanized rubber manufacture.
 Those two plants gave Naugatuck the good luck and honor of becom- ing the seat of the rubber industry in America. Tn 1882 on March 29th

New York Philharmonic Orchestra of IDA Musi-

The United States Rubber co. has been fortunate in securing the serv- ices of the New York Philharmonic orchestra of 104 musicians, bringing one of the finest programs on the air to the consuming public-its cus- toners. It plans, in this manner, to keep alive the market that is the life blood of the company's peace time business. For 62 consecutive weeks, this orchestra Is on the air every Sunday afternoon from 3 to A:30 o'clock, Eastern war time.
 The Philharmonic is the oldest in the country, and the finest on the air. in the opinions of radio editors and musical organizations generally. It was organized and gave its first concert in 1842, a year before the opening of the footwear plant in Naugatuck, so this is by way of be- ing centennial celebration for both organizations.

The moon came from behind the

He saw, beneath it's silver
gleam, the desert stretching elfin
arms. And he realized suddenly
that his feet, as if obeying some
hidden ck-cell in his brains
were carrying him toward the old
house, on the edge of the wilder
ness, where, years ago, he had
taken part in the rites of the Bi
Hassanyieh dervishes.
Well - he reflected they were

Seven times he repeated the
knocking, laughing at himself for
a sentimental, romantic jackass.
And then, all at once, his laugh

"Sahite. yah hibibib - thanks, Q

"Sahite sahitei, yah jaghzal -

Turing a corner, he entered the
quarter of the Negroes and half
breeds.
1t was late. Yet we're the alleys
still crowded; yet were there still
shrill sounds as the peddlers called
out their wares, cheaper now with
day at its close:
"Malah Duh bnin - salty and sa-

He kept on walking at random.
The moon had vanished behind a
cloudbank. So dark it was that,
presently, he was unable to see
either house or man or beast. Yet
life was everywhere; everywhere
he was conscious Of eyes staring
at him through the darkness, used
to that same darkness. Every
where he heard whispering voices,
bare feet pattering away on in
credible and mysterious errands,
the shiver of garments brushing
past, faint clashing of jewelry
and crackle of steel, high, cultural
laughter.
Then, after a while, the noise
vanished. The black alleys van

THE STORY: Lincoln Elliot,
American, has just been made
military governor of French
colony in Central Africa. Long
ago he had enlisted in the For
eign Legion following bitter
quarrel with his father over a
ne'er-do- well half brother, RaOul,
and this is the climax of his
career. But as he sits alone that
night. rejecting on the important
Job ahead of him, the chant of
the African drums awakens old
yearnings. He used to disguise
himself as Terek el-Madjahiri,
when routine palled, and mingle
with the Arabs as one of them.
He would do SO again for the
last time.
