Plastic Buildings
Moved in Barrels

SAN FRANCISCO CUPD =
An answer to one of the Army's
logistics problems may be
buildings in barrels"
The idea is to ship barrels of
liquid plastic to a construction
site. There the chemicals would
be mixed to form a rigid build
ing material of plastic foam.
A spokesman for the Army
Corps of Engineers said the con-
cept appears to have great
promise from the standpoint of
logistics, or supply.
Barrels of liquid plastic, at a
density of about so pounds per
cubic foot, can be mixed to
form a rigid building material
of plastic foam at a density of
about two. pounds per cubic
foot.
This results in 30 cubic feet
of material for each cubic foot
shipped.
It's also economical, the
spokesman said.
The engineers have produced

While Delaware ranks near

able wool advises the Delaware
State Development Department.
According to the state infor-

mated at $4,000 pounds by the
u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. The 1859 crop" was also
$4,000 pounds.
AS a result of a 7 percent
increase in the price per pound,
the market value of the 1860
