New Waterproofing
Material To Offer
Postwar Possibilities
SCHENECTADY, N. Y., May 24—
(Special)—Will the. waterproofing
business become a new line of oppor-
tunity after the war?
.It begins to' look that way as “sili-
congj,” developed by industrial chem-
ists for .military purposes, emerge
from wartime secrecy.
What are “silicones”? They’re a
major plastic discovery that takes
several forms: water-like liquid, sol-
ids, oils and a rubbery substance. The
latter development is so hew that
even the discoverers aren’t sure how
it may be used.

ALLIED FORCE HEADQUAR-
TERS, Mediterranean Theater—The
men in this Military Police Company
aren’t exactly conceited—but 1 then
they aren’t shrinking violets in any
sense of the word. They don’t think
^they are the best outfit in the Army.
Tjiey say they know it.
Captain Donald C. Yates, 32, the
son of Mrs. Lillian C. Yates, 16
Mamaroneck Road, "White Plains, N.
Y., the Commanding Officer of tire
Company says, “The men in the Mili-
tary Police are picked men, selected
for intelligence, physique and bear-
ing.^ They know this and conduct
themselves accordingly. You might
call it ‘Esprit de Military Police
Corps’. Whatever you call it, it’s
good.”
Resplendent in white helmet liners,
Looking ahead, chemists see a wide | pistol lanyards, leggins and gloves,
variety of civilian uses for silicones
One prospect is the waterproofing of
Clothing, which might do away with
the need for wearing raincoats. Cloth-
ing would come through a drgnching
rain" looking fresh from the tailor.
Or paper raincoats might come into
use, since paper, too, can be water-
proofed.
Silicones may be used to stain-
proof furniture and auto upholstery,
so that spilled drinks will roll off.
Applied to windshields, the new
material would keep them cleaner and
improve the Vision. Even glasses and
these soldiers are the “city’s finest,’
on duty 24 hours a day. Their duties
are so diverse as to insure against
boredom and their posts are located
in places of such importance as to
keep them on their toes'at all times.
They man two dozen guard posts at
Allied Force Headquarters, direct
traffic, serve as honor guards and
special escorts for visiting notables
and conduct weekly - patrol in the
suburban districts of this North
African city.
Right now they are providing the
ggmrd for General Sir Henry Mait-
dishes could 'be treated, chemists de-> j land Wilson, Supreme Commander,
dare. Diswashing'may be a lot easier Allied Force Headquarters, and Lieut.
in the future!
MERIDIAN TRIBUNE
BEGINS 51ST YEAR
The Meridian Tribune last week an-
nounced completion of 'fifty years of
publication and service to that com-
munity. In an article in- last week’s
Tribune, it was stated that the paper
had been under the same ownership
and management for the past 47
years.
The Tribune, it was stated, is the
survivor of a number of earlier news-
• papers published in Meridian, among
them being the Bosque Bea’eon, The
Meridian Avalanche-Sun, Bosque Cit-
izen, Bosque Eagle and others. The
paper was named The People’s Tri-
bune” when it was purchased by Levi
A. Dunlap, the present .owner, some
47 years ago, and he changed the
paper’s name to The Meridian Tri-
bune.
The article stated: _
. “As The Tribune begins its 51st
year pomes the ^reflection that age
alone may not be the final test of
merit of any undertaking, but it must
be admitted that it is a strong pre-
aumpion in its favor. To live long,
any business must have inherent
worth and mast have some useful
purpose.”
. The service most pleasant, accord-
ing to the publisher, is the privilege
jt now has, of carrying the wpirit of
“home” to the boys and girls in the
amipd. service scattered around the
"''globe., “Every week copies of The
Tribune are dispatched to soldiers
thousands of miles from their home-
. land . . . and jrehope soon to receive
the news that some lad has carried
his copy to Germany and Japan” the
article concluded.
Sb ■ ^
When the sun has gone down, the
surface of the ground loses its heat
a^a much more rapid rate than does
the surrounding air.
'' The great sand dunes of the Sa-
hara frequently attain a height of
600 feet, and under constant pressure
6t the winds, move forward at a rate
flf 60 to .70 feet a year. ,
General Jacob L. Devers, Deputy Su-
preme Commander, -AFHQ. However,
the guarding of notables is no new
task for them. They provided the
Jjonor guard in the past for such dis-
tinguished people as President Frank-
lin D» Roosevelt, King George VI of
England, and it was the MP’s of this
outfit who guarded Prime Minister
Winston Churchill during his con-
valescence in North Africa after his
illness not long ago. Members of the
Senatorial Committee who passed
through here last sumrp'er wrote Cap-
tain Yates words of high praise for
his Company, saying that the guard
they provided was the best in their
'globe-circling trip.
But things weren’t always so smooth
for the organization. They came
overseas ,in September, 1942 and
came into Africa soon after the in-
vasion. In those days they knew what
it was to be shot at by Fascists. They
stuck to their posts through the
heavy air raids ^nd stood- by to as-
sist in the dangerous work at the
scene of explosions.
The philosophy of the Company- as
regards their contacts with the sol-
diers seeims to be expressed by Staff
Sergeant Walter J. Sexton, 70 Grand
Street, Port. Jervis, New York: “We
(weren’t trained to abuse the .soldier
but to help him as much as possible.”
Many, a GI has been pleased to. be
treated with courtesy by the MPs in
this outfit while on foot patrol or
traffic patrol.. It makes the job
easier for all that way.,
Included among thebe men i3 Pvt.
Virgil O. Guthrie* 22, son of Mrs.
Lethie Guthrie of Rojite 1, Morgan.
KILLER-RAPIST SOUGHT
TULLAHOMA, Tenn., May 23—
New information expected to lead to
the early capture of the killer-rapist
who murdered Robert Sherill, 17, Tul-
iahoma High school senior, then
ravished his young girl friend six
days ago on a lonely side road, was
believed to have been uncovered to-
day.
■ Meantime rewards offered for ap-
prehension of the man grew to $1805.
The, Tullahoma city council voted last
night to add $250 to reward money
put out for the slayer’s capture or in-
formation leading to his , arrest.
- Editorial
In superior men, love is stronger than
hate, friendship is stronger than self-
ishness, and gratitude is stronger
than envy. Most of' us, however, are
not grateful as often or as long as we
should be. It makes us more comfort-
able towiegiect or forget what is done
for us, because, we can then think
more highly of ourselves. It is the
part of morality and wisdom for any-
body to be grateful to. parents who
'havtj cared for him, friends who give
him companionship and entertainment,
and the community Which .protects
-him, educates him, and gives him a
chance to earn an honest Irving, aud-
io be especially grateful to any bene-
factors’who .do. more than their duty
by him.

RATIONING OF WATER
OBSERVED AT W^CO
WACO, May 26—In compliance
with a request from Water Superin-
tendent George J. Rohan, self-im-
posed rationing of water will be ob-
served by. local consumers for three
weeks or longer. Because of a break
in the pipeline from Lake Waco to
the city filt.eration plant, caused by
the recent Bosque-Brazos flood, which
will necessitate rebuilding 600 feet of
pipe and piling, iwater now is Joeing
pumped from the Brazos River. The
maximum to be secured by. this meth-
od is 7,000,000 gallons daily, normal
consumption at this time of the year
ranging .from 8,000,000 to 9,000,000
gallons, Rohan, said!

Before this war is over, there may be only two

1. thoto who rids to work, 2. thoso who walk to work.
If you want to be in the feytunate group who will still be
riding to work in automobiles, join Gulf's. “Anti-Break-

Golf’s Protective Maintenance Plan!
This plan was conceived by experts in car care. Gulf de-
veloped it because car maintenance is*, a most important
civilian job. (8 out of 10 war workers use automobiles to get
