are said TO be in a better posi-
tion than the car manufac-
turers in the reconversion pic
ture. Only a few of them have
been 100 per cent in war work.
The rest have been more or less
in their familiar business and

Plastics 10 Arouse
Public Skepticism
By WARD SCHULTZ

With all the recent publicity
on plastic cars and cars with
plastic bodies, il should be re-
membered that plastic" is
probably the most overeNploited
material IN existence today.
Greedy manufacturers who
rush 10 the marketplace with
gaudy gadgets OF plastic which
are improperly engineered are
giving the resins a black eye
which will take years to erase.
One of the properties of cer-
tain types of plaSticS which is
frequently ignored is the low
melting point. Three adven-
tureS with handsome plastic
gadgets for the home have
convinced me of their worth
leSsness where the element of
heat is present.
First. a couple Of years ago
some plastic clothespins were
tried out and a few days in the
sun left them twisted hope
lessly out OF shape.
The other day ] took home
some plastic holders for corn
on the cob. A single bout with
hot corn and they looked like a
glob of pull taffy.
And a handsome looking plas-
tic water faucet strainer held
up exactly one day-then water
came streaming out its mis-
shapen sides.
AS 10 automobiles. plastic
impregnated with fibreglasS may
be the answer, but one company
president tells me that it's inn
practical for big production
because il requires too much
time TO set in the mold.
