Nylon, the man-made fiber in

workers whose Jobs are depend

The blueprint for the discov.-

into full plant production. Near
ly 500 patents issued on the
nylon process in the first Is
years of its existence. More
than 200 Of these patents dealt
with the novel technical devices
which we're required to get the
fiber produced.
The drama Of the nylon story
is portrayed throughout the
booklet in both words and pic
lures. At the outset of the COM
mercialization of the product,
during the crucial translation
from test tube to manufacturing
plant, some 23o chemists, engi-
neers, physicists, and other
technical people we're assembled
to solve seemingly insurmount-
able problems.
In later years, strong chal-
lenges have been offered to Du
Points leadership in supplying
nylon fibers and plastics to
their respective markets, the
booklet points out.
"DuPont's response to these
challenges is to keep making
nylon better, and to constantly
trim production costs. From the
outset Du Pont has kept nylon
prices low so as to develop
the widest possible market.
This policy has required a
ceaseless attempt to lower pro-
duction costs.''

processes for making nylon in

Itermediates. Another production

mantled, when improved, lower

Liberal use Of old cartoons,
newspaper headlines, and his
torical photographs permits the
booklet to trace the significant
developments which have led to
nylon's dominance today in the
field Of the newer synthetic fl
bers.
Some Of the more significant
chapters in nylon's history have
yet to be written. The booklet
cites, for example, the highly
competitive activity Of liz pro-
ducers Of nylon yarns and fl
bers in 38 countries throughout
the world plus the action by Du
Pont in recent years to spend a
sum of money for nylon expan-
sion and modernization which
exceeds the original investment

homes. We grow up and become
adults hoping to buy a house and
live happily ever after. All of
this could probably be traced to
mans emergence from the nomad
state to cavcdwellcrs.
Even the fairy tales ended when
the prince rescued the fair
maiden and took her to his castle
for happy life.
In the United States the home
has symbolized independence and
security for families since the
colonial era to the atomic age.
We are a nation of homelovers.
Possibly in no other country are
so many persons able to purchase
homes and direct so much atten-
tion to their homes.
Gone are the days of children
living in the same homes of their
parents. Transportation has en-
abled greater mobility and chill
dren of the same families are
born in various states.
Persons of my Mothers gen.
Grafton stayed usually in or
around the home sites of their
parents. but a great upheaval in
family living began during World
War Two.
Wives and sweethearts fol-
lowed soldiers, sailors. airmen
and marines around the country.
After the war many of the per-
sons remained faraway from
their immediate families. Homes
had to be built and new COM
munities sprang up.

A home is fine until some

our home was beset by gremlins.
Everywhere we turned was
trouble. We we're plagued by all
of the ills Pandora could let
loose.
First the electric light bulbs
took holiday. The light in the

light blinked out. The office room
light blew and the refrigerator
light refused to shine.

groan and shake like a sick old

halted. Its timer became erratic.
The washer was definitely on it's
last rounds.
AS the evaporative cooler was
being checked some of it's parts
we're found to be faulty. A new
valve was needed and several
other parts wouldn't last through
out the summer season.
Where once stately oleanders
stood are merely empty holes and
a few sagging plants. They we're
uprooted when our sewer con-
nection was made a couple of
months ago. Now with the yard
cleanup you can See the barren
spots clearly.
Sunday morning we forgot about
the burned out bulbs. we ignored
the missing oleanders, we didn't
hear the washers noises and we
didn't use the cooler.

"ALL THAT Is NEEDED TO REMEDY THE
EVILS OF OUR TIMES Is TO DO JUSTICE
AND GIVE FREEDOM"
THE RACSDALE STORY
There is an old English saying uOhich states,
"a wagon is only as good as its worst aoheeL''
This applies to the Valley Life Insurance Com
bazy headed by Lincoln j. Ragsdale. This
resume of his record of business is made to
faniHayIze everyone With the operations Of
an insurance firm which depends almost en-
tYely upon the haYd1OoYki,ag and not too we'll
paid Negroes Of the state.
The company was Incorporated and started
IN 1854 as benefit company. Loose insurance
codes IN this state allowed this company and
several others to operate ON a marginal shoe
string budget. Sheer luck and the absence Of
any natural disaster on mass dTOU'al'lgs or
deaths kept Valley Life Insurance solvent.
The following figures SHOW the records Of
business from 1855 to 1861 as published in 1867
by the state insurance department headed by
Director G. A. Bushnell.
Total income $232, APT; Total dis buYs ennents
$173, 1888, which inc h4des the first dividend
paid I'm the conba,1y's entire life, small sum
of ST, ,491. The only benefits paid during this
pGT1O0 we're SI4,O04. 1NZS SHOWS 4IO0,o0o
was spent on operating expenses, salaries,
and equipment.
The number of OhcyholdeYs decreased by
40 persons, from 2, 1853 the previous year to
2,7I3 in 1861.
The company has only $S, 900 securities on
deposit with the state treasurer. There are
assets Of $47,6I1.
Now the LAM requires $25, 900 to be on
deposit plus $12, 500 ON reserve for obeTat-
ing funds. Thus making required total Of
$37, 500 for the protection Of those insured
by insurance companies in Arizona.
Several years ago Valley Life Insurance
Company uas cautioned by the Federal
Security Exchange Commission and the
Arizona State Department of Insurance for
using mis- leading, false and misrebresenM-
ti0n advertising materials.
1t is difficult to realize ho1O many 1Uage
ea1neYs sacrifice to pay premiums beHeU-
ing they haze paid for good coUe1age ina
supposedly sound insurance company.
1t Mould be beneficial If each person aOouM
study the official state insurance department
yearly reports before buying any policy.
