|Fire Protective Unit
Hears Roberts Stress
District Safety Factors

Washington is more fortunate
than other cities because its esthetic
features make for fire safety, Dis
trict Fire Marshal Ray C. Roberts
told a meeting OF fire marshals this
morning.
He spoke at the opening session
of the National Fire Protective As
sociations SID annual meeting In
the Hotel Statler. The association
Is a nonprofit group dedicated to
lowering loss of life and property.
It's sessions will continue from today
through Thursday.
Some of the factors that make
for fire safety here naturally fol-
lowed from features that made the
Capital stately and esthetic," Fire
Marshal Roberts said. II do not be-
lieve that Maj. L'Enfant had fire
protection in mind when he laid out
the wide streets and avenues in his
plan for the Nations Capital, but he
accomplished just that"
Safety Factors Cited.
Marshal Roberts pointed to other
safety factors here, such as Wash
ingtons good water supply.
Marshal Roberts main criticism
was of the trend toward using fewer
windows in buildings. He called it
a definite fire hazard
Without windows you can't see
fire or fight it properly" he said.

for the Nation will be explained by

Tuesday

With capacity crowd Of bowling
enthusiasts on hand, Walter John
ton, Port Clinton's newest bowl
ing star, came through with a
brilliant performance Tuesday
night in the Blue Spruce teams
match to finish his series with
679.
Johnson had tough competition
from Harold "Whitey" Pulschen,
who finished with GIG, and from
Paul Hachet, who tied johnson at
223 in the first game and had
three pins better than Johnson's
211 in the second game.
Port Clinton's Blue Spruce team
took two of the three games from
their Fremont namesakes, and to-
tailed 1915 pins to Fremont's
1852. "Steam" Quisno also per-
formed nobly for the locals, despite
his recent absence from the alley
competition. ,
Using an unorthodox approach,
Johnson opened with 223, followed
with 211 and finished strongly with
245. He struck out in the third
game, following a triple.
Johnson has recently moved here

STRIP FILM PROJECT AT 0. D.
Gets WORLD WIDE PUBLICITY
ERIE ORDNANCE DEPOT

ERIE ORDNANCE DEPOT -
The Army's and Navy's strippable
covering process is receiving world
wide attention these days. The
application of this process to the
storage of the Army's war reserve
of artillery was developed at Erie
Ordnance Depot.
The Army's big guns, proof ac-
cepted tested at Erie and heard
round the globe during the war
time years, are taking back seat
as this peacetime development wins
the applause of private industry
as we'll as national defense organi-
cations. .
James IS. Stewart, Fremont, chief
Ordnance engineer at this depot
last week received a manuscript, on
Cocoon, publishd by R. A Brand,
Ltd, London, England, and given
international distribution. "Co-
coon" is the registered trade name
of packaging plastic. Erie Ord
nance Depot employees call it strip
film.
The book is divided into sections
which show, with pictures and cap
tions, how various countries are US
ing strippable film, especially for
the presentation of Army and Navy
materiel.
Under the United States heading
is a picture taken at Erie Ordnance
Depot, showing 40mm antiaircraft
guns with strip film jackets. Other
sections depict cocoon" uses in
Sweden, Switzerland, Canada and
England.
Strip film was developed under
Navy guidance early in the 1940's
according to Mr.. Stewart. Army
Ordnance became interested in it
in 1914 when the urgency of pro-
tecting standby equipment became
evident. Erie Ordnance Depot was
selected for experimental work on
this project. The first piece of ar
tillery, a Comm antiaircraft gun,
was "cocooned" in November of
1914.
During the following year, the
process was improved and three
safety spray booths were install
ed at Erie. In the fall Of 1945,
the work of "cocooning" the
Army's standby equipment was be-
gun on a production basis.
Strip film has really come into
it's own during the past year, Mr..
Stewart points out. Other Ord
nance installations and Army de-
partments, especially the Signal
Corps, have sought information on
this process. Training courses for
representatives Of these various
groups were held at Erie under the
sponsorship of Sherman j. Weis-
heit, Fremont, EOD training direc-
tor.
Glenn Piatt, Port Clinton, strip
film shop foreman at EOD, was
transferred for a two months tour
of duty in the Panama Canal Zone
to give instruction in the applica-
ton of this plastic covering. EOD's
laboratory has cooperated with pri-
vate industries in testing different
solutions.
Increasing industrial uses Of the
process are appearing on the mar
ket daily. One Of the most popu-
lar developments is plastic up
holstery material, it is pointed out.
The need for strip filming is in
dicated when protection must be
provided against rusting or deter
ioration for equipment not in COW
cred storage, Mr.. Stewart explains.
In the case of artillery, there is no
need for dismantling of guns or
construction Of large warehouses,
for strip filmed weapons with in
closed dessicant may be stored in
the open indefinitely, secure against
SNOW, rain, wind, sun and humidi-
ty, either in Alaska or the tropics.
