Asphalt roofing. economical both
to apply and maintain, is an ex-
cellent example of Man’s triumph
over Nature. Fire-resistant, it is a
fabrication of materials designed’
to ‘withstand weather conditions
of every kind—rain, wind, snow
and freezing cold or the torrid
rays of the mid-summer sun.
This is a synthetic which also
enables Man to beautify his sur-
roundings. A wide range of colors,
patterns and blends in asphalt
shingles makes possible the mod-
ern color styling which harmo-
nizes both the exterior and inte-
rior colors of the home with the
outdoors. Materials that go into
asphalt roofing include rag, wood
and other cellulose fibers which
are processed into dry felt, satu-
rated and coated with asphalt and
surfaced with mineral granules. .
But we still haven’t exhausted
the list of synthetics which fill an
important role in modern life.
Plastics, for instance,* are virtu-,
ally unlimited in their applica-i
tion. Sturdy but light, plastic ma-
terials are being utilized in an
ever-increasing volume in the
manufacture of toys, household?
iteins and an endless array of
products used in business, indus-
try and agriculture. The develop-;
ment of these and numerous other'
materials have stamped this as the
Synthetic Age.

This is the age of synthetics. -
Man-made materials are being
used for many purposes in place
of natural resources such as wood,’
rubber, iron, copper and tin. Fre-
quently the synthetic substitutes
are superior in strength and dur-
ability although lighter in weight
and requiring less space.
Synthetic products of many
kinds figure largely in our daily'
lives and in the national economy..
Nylon, for example, is used al-
most exclusively for women’s
hosiery and other wearing ap-
parel. It also is important to na-
tional defense, notably in its use.
for parachutes. Rayon, another
synthetic, is used extensively in
the manufacture of clothing.
Steel is a synthetic, though we
do not readily think of it as such
because it has become almost aS
familiar and essential to our daily
lives as food and clothing. Steel, ‛
an alloy of iron, is one of the
