Glass Is Getting Into More Construction Jobs
By Dovid 6. Boreuther

Glass you can't ordinarily see
is getting new jobs almost daily,
making homes more livable, more
durable, more economical to
operate.
This has nothing to do with
windows. It is glass in fiber
form, so tough that it is re-
placing steel in some places, so
soft that it is used to stuff
cushions, so fine and hairlike
that it stops heat waves when
used as an inSulator.
You can do a lot of things with
glass around your house without
winding up in the proverbial fish
bowl. Of course, some people
like glass in every form as a
building material. There's David
H. Brown. a retired Canadian
undertaken, who is building a
house in Creston, British Colum-
bia, out of $1,000 empty embalm-
ing fluid bottles.
Even if you haven't accumu-
lated that many bottles, you can
make many uses of glass. You
can use fiber glass in corrugated
plastic form for a porch roof to
keep the rain out and let the
light in. You can use large
sheets of this material for parti-
tions and room dividers to block
the view, yet let light through.
You can build shower stalls with
it or use it for shower doors.
Bathtubs are being nodded
out of fiber glaSs-reinforced plas-
tic. Weighing only about II
pounds they are much lighter
than pressed steel, which in turn
was much lighter than regular
cast iron tubs. Chairs, pipes,
tanks, even boat bodies are made
of this material. Curtains and

Story Hours VIII
Start September 10

Popular Children's Feature OF
Museum VIII Be Held From 10
To 1870 On Saturday Morn
ings.
The Saturday Story Hours for
Children, a weekly activity of the
Washington County Museum of Fine
Arts, will be resumed for the 1953-54
season on Saturday morning, Sep
TENDER 10, from 1000 to 11:30
o'clock.
The first part of the hour and
half period is given over to a story,
illustrated with slides, or a film with
some correlation to an art interest.
The second part is devoted to actual
painting, modelling, or drawing. Ma
terial for the latter is given to the
children and, while no formal teach
ing is done, advice and guidance are
given.
The overall theme for the season
is Creative Hands" Emphasis will
be placed on the part played by the
hands of craftsmen and artists in the
creation of buildings, sculptures,
paintings, and crafts.
The story feature on September 10
will be illustrated by two films, cart
Points the Way" and Lets Paint
with Watercolors."
The first is an actual classroom
situation in an Elementary Public
School, showing how art activities
actually help in school studies, as
well as providing a means of self
expression.
The second film shows how to
manage watercolors so that paint is
handled properly, how to treat
brushes right, and is also generally
instructive in ways of creating an
interesting result.
In both films, hands play a large
part
There is no admission to this fea-
ture of the Museum program and
boys and girls from Hagerstown and
Washington County are cordially in
vited to come to the Museum, located
in the City Park, on Saturday morn
ing, September 10, for the first pro-
gram of the 1953-54 Saturday Story
Hours. Please remember the time -
