Although the puck was in Saint Mark's ice for most of the first period, the prep schoolers, behind the spectacular goaltending of Marty Fenton, held the Crimson at bay until 11:40, when Ned Almy caged the rubber from a scramble in front of the goal...
Restrictions on the use of rubber will be "largely eliminated" after Jan. 1, the National Production Authority announced last week. This will be the first lifting of controls on a major raw material since the start of the Korean war. NPA will continue its ban on white sidewall tires (to save natural rubber and titanium-dioxide pigments), and inventories of synthetic will be policed to prevent hoarding. But U.S. manufacturers will get all the synthetic rubber they need, and once again will be allowed to import natural liquid rubber...
...turnabout in rubber is the result of increased synthetic production and lower prices on crude rubber. When the Korean war sent the price of natural rubber skyrocketing from 43? to 80? a pound in Singapore, Jess Larson's General Services Administration took over all rubber importing. It beat down prices (47? last week) by restricting buying, put government-owned synthetic plants back in production, stepped up output to more than 760,000 tons for 1951, a rise of 87% in the past two years. With controls lifted, tiremakers last week confidently announced that they would soon be able...
...biggest change, and the one that has boomed year-round painting, is paint with a rubber, instead of an oil, base. These paints are virtually odorless, will dry in an hour or so with windows closed. They are easy to apply, and it is almost impossible to leave brush marks with them. A year ago, only a handful of paint companies were marketing rubber-based paints. Now there are about 50, and in another year, more than 1,000 are expected to be cashing in on the bonanza...
...style roller was hardly an improvement on the brush; it still had to be dipped in a pan, would drip paint. The newer rollers, made by Cleveland's Kenwill Corp. and others, hold the paint inside the cylinder, let it out through holes onto a rubber or fabric sleeve so that it can be rolled on walls or ceilings without dripping. Even the big brush makers like Rubberset Co. are beginning to sell rollers. But brush makers are not giving up the battle. Sears, Roebuck recently began selling a brand-new 4-in. wall brush that can be broken...
