New Wonders Ahead
NEW YORK-The coin machine indus-
try will utilize some of the new wonders
developed through war production when it
is all over, according to revelations made
here this month.
Unbreakable records will make their ap-
pearance, according to J. R. Price, chemi-
cal engineer of Carbide and Carbon Chem-
ical Corp., for such records are declared to
by "just one of the many possible uses of
vinyl resin plastics after the war."
A new process has been developed by
E. I. Dupont de Nemours Co. consisting of
a new impregnating treatment whi ch makes
soft woods as hard as plastics. Wood, so
treated, will not warp or swell and is so
hard that it may substitute for steel In
certain machinery parts.
Non·reflecting glass is another item that
will appear in post-war equipment. Accord-
ing to Popular Mechanics "Ordinary glass
transmits about 92 per cent of light; the
remaining 8 per cent being lost through
surface reflection. Much of this "lost" light
is saved by the use of a new chemical whose
composition and method of application are
military secrets at present."

Paper Conservation Vital
WASHINGTON - Unless American in·
dustry reduces its tonn~e consumption of
printing paper sharply during the first
three months of 1944, there is grave danger
that certain types of printing will have to
be restricted or eliminated altogether. This
information comes from the Joint Com-
mittee on Government Relations of the
Commercial Printing Industry of the U. S.,
which, with the support of the WPB, is
conducting a vigorous printing paper con·
servation program.
Already Canada has sharply restricted
the "end-use" of printing paper and cer-
tain types of advertising have heen elimi-
nated entirely; most printing is subject to
licensing restrictions and before printing
jobs can be ordered an applica tion must be
made to a rationing board.
For the first quarter of 1944 the printing
industry of the U. S. has been allocated 75
per cent of the paper tonnage used during
the comparable period in 1941.
Causes of the paper shortage are pri-
marily lack of manpower to cut pulp wood
and a breakdown in paper salvage efforts.
During the war vast quantities of paper are
used for packaging of materials sent over-
seas. This paper is not salvaged and the
box manufacturers have been on short
rations for some months; inventories are
very low.
Two immediate steps are urged upon all
buyers of printing: 1. Utmost conservation
of printing paper; 2. Cooperation with the
publishers' waste paper salvage campaign.
It is suggested that every industry, office
and plant set up committees on paper
conservation and paper salvage and that a
procedure be worked out for the control
of all buying and salvage operations. Print-
ers should be called upon as technical con-
sultants in this work.
