That was probably the earliest industrial use for textiles and took a terrific load off the aching backs of oarsmen. For centuries sails carried ships and smaller craft over the waterways of the world and even today some duck is used for making sails. However, the use of textiles for industrial purposes has grown to the extent that today nearly one-fifth of all fihprs rnnsnmpH V?\r tVio TT textile industry go into industrial uses. i There are hundreds of industrial uses for textiles. For ore conveyors or submarine cables, laundry nets or electronic instruments, space missiles or cheese covering, babv carriages or caskets; in factories, mines, refineries, oil fields, shipyards, arsenals, military establishments, ? faKripc norfnrm infornplinrr IUK/4 IVO |7VI i\/l 111 II11V.I tOUIl^ tasks little known beyond their immediate field of use. Because of the many special purposes f o r textiles in industry, these fabrics are created by engineers to perform specific tasks, so that many industrial purposes for textiles are purely tailormade. Cotton is the principal fiber for industrial textiles, but ; some of the man-made fibers have been found to possess particular qualities such as high tenacity, resistance to I abrasion and flexing, resistance to heat and chemicals, and others that made them suitable for many types of industrial fabrics. I Coated fabrics are now used in making air supported t buildings, as well as giant domes held up by air pressure for sheltering missiles and missile crews. They are also used for underwater t storage tanks, milelong ven> tilating tubes and for other purposes. Textiles are used in making tough conveyor belts that 1 withstand tremendous weight and punishment. They are ' used in making filters for huge filtration plants. New uses are being developed constantly. In view of space age ?uu. ?.11 i ci|uiitiiii:iua, uiicr iiu^ni wcril ? say that even the expression "The sky's the limit" is out of date now. A man was shocked to read an item about his own death in the paper. He promptly called the newspaper. He identified himself and then declared: "There was a story about my death in your | paper today!" "I see," said the voice on the other end of the phone calmly, "Where are you calling from?"

There are many exaggerated and unwarranted opinions held by the American people regarding the sc-called "stupendous progress" and the "economic miracle" that has supposedly taken place in Soviet Russia under Communism. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev has said that Russia will bury the United States economically. But studies show that the true i j " long-time average rate ol growth in the Russian economy has been less than two per cent per year. According to British economist Dr. Colin Clark, judging Russia's future economy by a few isolated changes within that country would be . "like a doctor plotting the ' rapid gain in weight of a 1 child recovering from an illness and deducing that in one year the child will be bigger that the father." IS IT TRUE? Are we really j falling behind the Soviet "Bear" economically, or are ' we victims of gross exagger- ' ation? ' Think on the following 1 facts, recently compiled by the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce. In order for < the United States to achieve i economic equality with t h e U. S. S. R. here is what we would have to do: 1. Abandon three-tilths of ( our steel capacity , 2. Abandon two-thirds of our petroleum capacity i 3. Scrap two out of every , three of our hydro-electric i plants . 4. Forget over 90 per cent , of our natural gas 5. Eliminate 95 nor rent of our electric motor output 6. Rip up fourteen of every | fifteen miles of our paved highways 7. Destroy two of every three miles of our railroads 8. Sink eight of every nine of our ocean-going ships 9. Junk nineteen of every twenty of our cars and trucks 10. Slash all paychecks by three-fourths 11. Transfer 60,000,000 Americans back to the farms 12. Destroy 40,000,000 television sets 13. Rip out nine of every ten telephones ^ ^. MARCH. CLINTON COT' Ralph E. Sheriff?Carding Jerry F. Baker?Spinning Vera B. Belue?Spinning Gerald E. Graham?Spinning Larry Lawson?Spinning Erskine R.

Repealing as they are, these figures cannot portray the comparatively miserable conditions of the Russian people. While an American worker s earning $100.00, a Russian .vorker earns about $14.00. In \mcrica there are about 270 ' square feet of housing for every man. woman and child ? in Russia the figure is about 79 square feet. In hours of labor, a Russian pays about 12 times as much for a suit of clothes, 20 times as much for a pair of shoes, three times as much for bread and six times ns much for milk. Are we making the same mistake in judging Soviet Russia? Should we strive to achieve equality with the U. S. S. R. or should we stay w here we are ? way out ahead?
