Jaycees Witness Glass Show A special advertising commit tee of the birthday calendar pro ject was appointed .at the regu lar meeting of the Junior Cham ber of Commerce Tuesday night at Masonic dining hall. On the program was an Interesting glass demonstration. President Joe Hedden, who pre sided over the Meeting attended by 26 Jaycees and three guests, appointed the following to the committee, . headed by Jack White, projects chairman; Ken Morrison, Delbert Dixon, Sani Mitchem, Grady Howard and Bill Fulton. John Chaney was welcomed Into the club hy Faison Barnes and Glee ?. Bridges was a guest of the club. Mr. White announced that the club made around $20 on the cir cus project. Deadline for the cal endar project is November 1, he said. Bill Beam, a member of the dub for the past several years, resigned from the organization, announcing he was moving to Shelby. He was given a standing .vote of thanks for the work he has done in the local club. J. C. Bridges, chairman of the club's aviation committee, which was In charge of the prograh}, introduced Walter Hobbs, secre tary, and Harold Muese, of Prit chard Paint & Glass Co., Char lotte. Mr. Hobbs conducted the de monstration of several kinds of glass. In the first demostration he showed the club a piece of reg ular plate glass, which was bro^ ken from a height of one foot by a one-pound steel ball. The glass broke into sharp pieces. This glass, Mr. Hobbs said, was used in windows of the first automo-. bile built and was a deadly kill er in wrecks. This led to the development of laminated, or safety glass. In the demonstration of this type glass, an 8-pound leather bag of shot shattered the piece from a height of four feet. There was no flying glass and if a person's head hit it in an auto wreck, con cussion and superficial cuts would result, he said. A type glass was developed, he said, to reduce heat in south ern industrial buildings. This glass, blue in color ^because people in the south liked the color," has a high iron content to absorb the heat. When placed between an electric lamp and a radiometer, the 'Nalue1' glass re duced reactlbn whereas a pjece of plain window glass created a rapid action the instrument. In talking of glare reduction safety glass now being installed In some new cars, Mr. Hobbs said that It has higher heat reducing qualities than of glare reduction and will soon be standard on all automobiles. . Another glare reduction glass shown, really designed for that purpose and used in construction work, was opaque glass. Thermopane glass consists of two pieces of regular glass wel ded or soldered together, with a vacuum space between. This glass does not fog and keeps out cold and will be used in autos being built that ate equipped with air conditioning units. Case hardened glass is regular glass that is heat treated as the last process The heat treatment makes a remarkable charge In the qualities of the glass, he said. Mr. Hobbs demonstrated that this glass would hold over 200-pounds of weight by stand ing on a piece suported by two glass blocks. He demonstrated that another type glass would bend 20-de grees. This glass straightened out after he got off of it. In another demonstration, Mr/ Hobbs broke a piece of one-quar ter inch plate glass with the one pound ball in a one foot drop. A piece of l/4inch Tuf-Flex glass failed to break at drops of 1,2, 3, 4, 5 6 and 7-fe6t with the one pound balf, at 7*feet with an 8 pound shot bag and at 7-feet with a 12-pound shot bag. "This is unusual ? it's supposed to break at between five and seven feet," he said. Mr. Hobbs finally broke the glass by throwing the one-pound ball against it, disintigratinp it into small pieces looking like "rock candy." Mr; Hobbs told how mirrors are made, by silver-plating one side and painting it. One manu facturer has discovered how to keep the silver plate on without painting over it, hie said, leading to the one-way glass ? the kind that can be seen through from one side but not the other. "It's just a mirror that is not painted on the back and must have more light on the "see through" side to work," he said, turning on a light inside the dem onstration box and showing a photograph inside which was in visible before he turned on the light. "This is a good gadget but don't buy one unless you talk to the right people" who will lit a STATIONED AT LAKE CHARLES ? Airman First Class BoYce Wells, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M.

Blocks, hav ing four glass surfaces, also change the direction of light com ing through, he said.
