They emphasized the linking together of molecules to give the physical properties of rubber regardless of its chemical structure. Processing and Components In processing synthetic ruliU i polymerization takes place. Poly merizing is the gathering together or chaining together of tin mole cules which will form a large molecule. The larger chain may be made up of thousands of mole cules estimated as high as I no. noil to 200,000 or more in one chain Polymerization of the .synthetic is usually characterized hy jelling or thickening of the latex solut ion and the long chain of molecules thus formed usually follow a deli nite pattern in their linking ol one to the other. Most synthetic rubbers' i hid raw material is either peti oleum or alcohol. The controversy over the use of either of these mater ials has no bearing on the finished rubber or the polymerization plants but only over which can lie made faster and cheaper Products and Production In making synthetic rubber pro ducts, production problems aie more complicated. It takes aimiil 25 percent longer to huihl a syn thetic rubber passenger lire, for instance, and over U(J additional operations are needed Synthetic rubber is also used for mechanical goods such as print iiej rollers, certain textile m i. i.inei parts and v-belts Synthetic rubber is superior for many mechanical products. V-belts. for example, of synthetic rubber can he made more oil and heat resistant. Types The five commercial types of pro ducts ordinarily classified as syn thetic rubbers are commonly known ! as Buna N. Buna S. Neoprene. i Butyl and Thiokol. GR-S the most universal type of synthetic rubber, is known also as Buna-S since it is a combination of three-quarters Butadiene and ; 3 HOME TOWN fcimd U S. Mnt Oft c Bv; STANLEY one-(iiartcr Syrene brought togeth er hy the chemical process called 'polymerization The oil and che mical companies make the raw ma terials the Butadiene and Styrene. The rubber manufacturers then .carry on the polymerization pro cess notber synthetic rubber known as Butyl has the least diffusion o nr of all rubbers synthetic or na tural And makes the best inne tube So good, in tact, that it': doubt I ul whether any other kind of rubber will he used for tubes Because ol the present shortage I mii.vi. however, we cannot use it except for truck tubes. A share mii ine development ol Iluytl was done in our own plant with tin 'cooperation of the Standard Oil lb velopinenl ( ompany 1'iiture W hat Iheii is the future of this 7(Kl million dollar synthetic rubber industry" When natural rubber is once more available in quantity are we going to scrap our synthetic rubber plants'.' And return to the 1 use ul natural plantation rubber produced by Kngland and Holland? Sy ul belie rubber production will aei as a price stabilizer We can produce it at a cost of 10c to 12c pound, and allowing for plant ' anioi lizalion and profit, can sell it i al from ific to I7c by the time ua Iiii.iI rubber is once more availa : hie. I I in several years after the plan tat ions are available, we will he able to use their output plus the I synthetic but within three or. four years surpluses will increase, thus lowering the price. Kstiniales now are that we will consume l.SOO.OOO tons of rubber for several years of postwar pro unction - about 1.000.000 tons of synthetic and fiOO.000 tons of tural rubber. Under the impetus of continuous research, il seems reasonable to assume that we will eventually have a synthetic rubber superior to na tural rubber. With wild and plantation rubber we have to take what nature gives us as far as chemical composition and structure are concerned. With synthetic rubber we can tailor i molecule to suit exactly, say. tin i cquii eiuems oi a lire ireau. a printing roller, or a v-belt. We have hundreds of ingredients av ailable for rubber compounding.

Memorial Services Held For Two Canton Men Memorial services were held at the Beaverdam Baptist church on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 (clock honoring TSgt. Comer H. Scott and T5 William M. Scott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Scott, of the Beaverdam section of-the coun ty, who have paid the supreme price. TSgt. Scott will be posthumous ly awarded the Bronze Star which was presented to his family by I.t. Col. Ralph R. White, of the army service ground forces Redistribu tion Station, Asheville. Sgt. Corner Scott was killed in France on July 25. 1944. and Tft Scott was killed in action in Ger many on March 30, of this year. Another son, Calvin C. Scott, Is serving with the Navy somewhere in the Pacific. Rev. Lucius Rogers, pastor of the church, was in .barge t the service. Last year's pig crop was down 34 per cent from the year before. Since pork accounts are about So per cent of the meat supply, no wonder there's a shortage.
