Exhibit Dromotizes Role of MAGNESIUM in Liyinq
By Fronk SortweII, Jr.

| ~ ETOHk SoItWSIls JIs
They're not making things the
way they used to.
They're making them better,
About $50 million worth OF
proof for this is on display
through tomorrow in the Ma
tional Guard Armory, under the
title of International Magnesium
Exposition.
Magnesium, sucked out of sea
water, is a lightweight metal-a
quarter the weight of steel, three
quarters the weight of aluminium.
It is strong, and said to be the
easiest Of the structural metals
to machine.
In the Armory. these facts are
translated into tangible results: !:
Lightweight bodies for Americas
fighting planes; step ladders the
man Of the house can move
without danger of strain; easy
to-carry mortars for our infan-
trymen: textile spools weighing
one-third less than their wooden
predecessors; lighter trucks with
correspondingly higher payloads.
To you these products can
mean many things: Greater Sc
curity from foreign attack;
cheaper shipping for the man
who makes, say, nylon tire cord;
cheaper tires; trucks able to
carry more goods into Washing
ton and still stay under State
roadweight limits; and maybe a
shorter annual hassle about put
ting up the family storm win
dows and screens.
Magnesium is a relatively new
commercial material. Production
started in 1915. Natural brine,
rich in magnesium chloride, was
the first source. From 1916 to
1941 extensive research on the
metal was conducted, while the
ingot price slowly fell from the
original $5 a pound.
In 1910, work started on the
Dow Chemical Co. plant at Free
port, Texas. There magnesium is
produced directly from the water
of the Gulf of Mexico
pounds per ton of ocean. Today
the ingot price is 241a cents. per
pound.
Although other processes came
in during the war, the sea-water
method still leads the field in
the amount of magnesium pro-
duced.
If the Dow plant and several
built by the Government in war;
time we're able to drink up all
the waters of the seas, they could
blanket the earth nine feet deep

Nov. 26 as Nations
Thanksgiving Day
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

President Eisenhower yester-

Vember 26, as Thanksgiving Day
and asked Americans to pray for
wisdom in our striving for a
better world"
The text of the proclamation
follows:
LAS a Nation much blessed, we
feel impelled at harvest time to
follow the tradition handed down
by our Pilgrim Fathers of paus-
ing from our labors for one day
to render thanks to Almighty
God for His bounties. Now that
the year is drawing to a close,
once again it is fitting that we
incline our thoughts to His mer-
cies and offer Him our special
prayers of gratitude.
For the courage and vision of
our forebears who settled a will
derness and founded a nation;
for the blessings of liberty
which the trainers of our Con-
Stitution sought to secure for
themselves and for their pos
terity, and which are so abund-
antly realized in our land today;
for the unity of spirit which has
made our country strong; and
for the continuing faith under
His guidance that has kept us a
religious people with freedom of
worship for all, we should kneel
in humble thanksgiving.
Especially are we grateful
this year for the truce in battle
weary Korea, which gives to
anxious men and women
throughout the world the hope
that there may be an enduring
peace.
Nov, therefore. I, Dwight D.
Eisenhower, President of the
United States of America, in
consonance with the joint res
olution of Congress approved
OCCCLIAOCA 20, 4094, w IlCACby NhII
upon our people to observe
