CHEMISTRY TO AID IN POSTWAR DEVELOPMENT
Many New Products Promise
To Enrich Nation’s Economy
Although sparked by only 70,000 technologists whose
discoveries have laid open a greater utilization of mate
rial, the U. S. chemical industry will play an important
role in the postwar world, Walter J. Murphy, editor of the
American Chemical society, said in an address in Chicago.
A brand new field of chemistry<8>———
creating products from sand, brine,
coal and oil may have far-reaching
industrial importance, Mr. Murphy
said. Electrical insulation is among
the fields in which these prod
ucts may achieve spectacular re
sults.
“Perhaps this new development,
still in its infancy, and now almost
wholly employed in the war pro
gram, will one day gain as much
fame as did the production of ny
lon from coal, air and water a dec
ade ago,” Murphy predicted.
Glass that will float, glass that is
unbreakable, decorative glass fibers
of many types and kinds, wood that
will not burn or warp, laminations
of plastics and wood that will com
pete with the structural metals,
serviceable and long-wearing shoes
that contain no leather, window
screens of plastics instead of wire,
machinery bearings that contain no
metal, and plastic piping in our
homes will provide new tasks for
industry and jobs for workers, Mr.
Murphy said.
Thousands of items produced
from finely powdered metals, sur
face coatings for furniture, refrig
erators, washing machines and oth
er household appliances as hard as
the Rock of Gibraltar will come
out of the nation’s postwar facto
ries, Mr. Murphy pointed out.
Revolutionary changes are ahead
in the textile industry, according
to Mr. Murphy, citing “stockings
that won’t run, pants that won’t
shine, suits that won’t wrinkle, even
when wot, and woolens that won’t
shrink and will wear three times as
long, and all this without changing
the feel and texture of the cloth.
“Our present super-gasolines
and ones slightly hinted at as
now being perfected in research
laboratories, will not turn our
postwar automobiles into flying
machines, but will permit great
er economies in operation, and
radical and desirable engine
and body changes in design,"
Mr. Murphy continued.
“We can expect a 25 per cent
increase in efficiency of fuel utiliza
tion and a further 50 per cent in
car design for an ultimate mileage
of 30 to 40 miles per gallon. In
the field of commercial aviation,
new fuels will mean not only great
er cruising speeds, but also bigger
planes and more profitable pay
loads. In the world of tomorrow a
business appointment in London,
Paris or Moscow will cause no more
inconvenience than an overnight
jump in a plane sleeper.
“The American who plans and
the architect who designs the post
war home stand on the threshold
of an exciting adventure. Newly
developed materials originating in
the minds of chemists and perfect
ed by years of sweat and toil in
chemical laboratories constitute a
challenging picture, an opportunity
through the use of standardized,
mass - produced parts to build
more beautiful, more livable and
cheaper dwellings.
“Let us, however, be realistic
about the building industry. Every
American homeowner will not start
a new house on V plus one Day.
The utilization of these modem ma
terials will be slow at first, and
desirably so. The ‘art’ must be
given time to assimilate; otherwise
the results will be disappointing.
“Plywood adhesives perfected for
the aviation industry will be avail
able after the war. Thin sheets of
‘veneer’ or ply, bonded together
can be bent or molded into practi
cally any shape desired. Plywood
furniture, bathtubs, light walls, and
movable partitions as strong per
unit of weight as steel will ma
terially assist in making possible
the inexpensive and durable house
of tomorrow.
“Chemically treated soft and in
expensive woods will be ‘transmut
ed’ into hardwoods, highly fire re
sistant, rot and termite resistant,
dyed in any color Of the rainbow,
and may be bent, twisted and com
pressed.”
The anticipated battle between
plastics and the light metals in
building construction, automobiles,
plane and rail transportation, fur
niture, etc., may never take place,
Mr. Murphy said. “Probably,” he
explained, “they will find their re
spective niches where their respec
tive properties sanely dictate that
they should. In evaluating the com
petitive situation between plastics
and the light metals, the newer
steel alloys mujt also be included
for they offer many interesting pos-'
sibilities. ;
“The many startling innovations (
in the field of adhesives seem to’
assure ‘front-row’ places for all:
three. At least one and possibly:
several processes have been per-’
fected for bonding light alloys and*
steel Ui each other or to wood by;
meat s of synthetic resin adhesives. '*
In the fields of refrigeration, air 1
conditioning, lighting, commun4ca-‘
tions and insulation, tremendous
strides have been made, and many ',
of these advances have been direct-:
ly contributed by the chemist.
“Chemotherapy is revolution
izing the science of medicine* ,
placing in the hands of the doc- /
*
*
tor, i surgeon and dentist ways
and means of not only combat
ting but preventing many of the
physical and mental ills that
beset mankind. Just a few
years ago medicine was with
out sulfa drugs and penicillin. [
There is some reason to believe v
that the latter is but one of a
number of related products that ^
may yet have far-reaching sig- T
nificance. We may yet achieve }
again by organic chemical syn- ‘
thesis a positive malaria pre- ’
ventive and cure."
All industries will be affected by^
chemistry in the next decade, Mr..
Murphy declared. Industrial utili-;
zation of farm products and wastes >
were called a promising field for
the chemist.
“If political considerations are
completely divorced from chemur-,
gic reasoning, we will see great
strides in that direction in the next 1
10 years. Slowly, perhaps, but sure
ly the chemist will find the ways*
and means <3f profitably employ
ing agricultural products in indus-|
try based on sound scientific and
economic principles.
“A revolutionary approach has
been made in the field of packing’
and containers during the war pe-'
riod. The chemist has been brought^
into this field to help solve some/
very difficult wartime problems!
of packaging material, foods, ete.»t
and in so doing, he has demon-!
strated the desirability of contino-y
ing such assistance in the postwar!
period." / -f
Most Americans recognize tha^
tremendous magnitude of the con-£
tribution of chemistry and chem-t
ists and chemical engineers to the}
winning of the war, but fail to a]
preciate that these notable achi
ments have been made by a
of executives, technologists
skilled workers, relatively few __
numbers, according to Mr. Murphy^
The nation’s scientific accompr
ments, he said, are the work of
small band of some 70,000; chi
and chemical engineers.

Holidays
. The McCormick schools will
have holidays this week, the 23rd
and 24th for Thanksgiving.
New Books
The library is proud to announce
that we have nineteen new books.
It is a pleasure to see the student
interest in new books. We hope
to get more real soon.
Items Of Interest
Rev. J. Claude Evans was a
lunch guest here last week, and it
was a real pleasure to have him
come.
Miss McGrath, the County
Health Nurse, has given T. B. test
to our students and teachers.
The schools of the county had
a holiday November 17, for the
teachers to stand the national ex
amination for teachers. Officials
of Erskine college gave the tests.
The McCormick teachers enter
tained the county teachers at
lunch. Mrs. Creighton cooperated
with the lunch room workers and
the teachers in serving a delight
ful lunch.
First Entertainment On The
Activity Program
Venite Rich MeBurney came to
school November 20 with a very
interesting program of puppets
and chalk drawings. This is the
first of a series of educational pro
grams that have been planned for
the students this year. Each stu
dent paid an activity fee to fi
nance these programs. Many pro
gressive schools have included
these programs in their schedules
for the year. This program was
very interesting and educational,
and we feel this is a good begin
ning toward a successful activity
program.
Panthers Fall To Langley-
Bath 18-7
The Panthers went down to de
feat Thursday before a determined
Langley-Bath team in a hard
fought game, by the score of 18-7.
The Panthers couldn’t seem to
get started after they received
the opening kick-off and Langley-
Bath blocked Archie’s punt which
put them in scoring position.
Langley-Bath then threw a long
pass which was good for a touch-

down early in the first period.
Again in the second quarter
Langley-Bath completed a long
pass which put them deep in Mc
Cormick territory. They ran it
across and led at the half 12-0.
The Panthers began the second
half with a little more fight and
scored early in the third quarter
with a pass from Archie Ferque-
ron to Bobby Dukes. Archie
plunged across guard for the ex
tra point. This made the score
12-7 but it was changed later in
the third period when L-B com
pleted a pass for their third touch
down.
The fourth quarter was a see
saw battle and neither team got
into scoring position.
This was the Panthers’ last
game of the season.
The McCormick Junior Home
. Economics Association
The McCormick Junior Home Ec
onomics Association had a party
Friday night, November 17, 1944,
at the community house.
Margie Holloway, Faye Bodie,
and Jacquelyn Bonnette were In
charge of the games and contests.
Delicious refreshments were
served by Miss Rucker and Mrs..
Boozer.
Chapel
Last Monday, November 13, Rev.
J. Claude Evans brought a very
helpful message to the high school.
This message was very fitting- t »
the needs of the students, and wo
always look forward to his com
ing. Mr. Evans talked about self-
control, and we feel this is th?
first real need of young people.
May we gain the benefit of thes^
instructive messages.
