Their recreation Definition of Plastics Is Well-Nigh Impossible A satisfactory definition of plastics is well-nigh impossible. What it does is to flow into a form and retain it but what it is eludes words. It may appear in form sheerer than silk or tougher than bullets; it may be crystal clear or opaque, pliable or stiff, heavy or light. The granddaddy of all plastics is nitrocellulose, first produced about 1870. From then on other plastics gradually appeared until the midthirties when the brash young industry came into full bloom. Where previously the materials were confined chiefly to gadgetry, they then invaded the field of heavy industry. Today plastics are playing a vital part in the war, but how actually comprehensive a part must go unknown until the need for military secrecy is over. Spokesmen for the industry predict it will be the greatest of all Industries in the post-war world. Soldier Salutes Mother! When Pvt. Richard W.

Storing Books ' «4uestk>n: Is it safe to store books in an attic that is hot in the summertime? Is it safe to store books in a basement flat? Answer: Summer heat will not do any great harm to books, but moisture will be most injurious. Storage of anything in a basement is never safe because the atmosphere is like J ly to be damp. i Thermostat Night Setting Question: You have said that the! night setting of a thermostat should not be lower than 65 degrees.
