chemist who retired Sept. 1 from t h e U. S. Depar tment of Agriculture, Washington, D . C , died Nov. 11. H e h a d specialized in dairy research a n d h a d received many honors for his work. In 1942, as senior chemist in t h e Bureau of Dairy Industry, he h a d been given the Borden Award admin­istered by the ACS for outstanding re­search in the chemistry of milk over a 22-year period. H e aided in perfect­ing methods for shipping whole milk powder to the Allies dur ing Wor ld W a r I I . H e had been educated at Carleton College and the University of Minne­sota and later taught at Minnesota. H e h a d been with USDA for over 30 years, and had joined the ACS in 1918.

Diary of an old shoe "Walked^ walked, walked—on pavement and dirt—

month after month—mile after mile, rain or shine·.."

But this shoe could take i t! I t is one of millions of shoes that have the modern type of rubber sole reinforced by the incor­poration of high styrene resins and plasticized with low cost PANAREZ hydrocarbon resins.

PANARE2 resins are tack producing agents and rubber soft­eners which make definite improvements in "flex crack", abrasion and tear resistance, tensile strength, and aging prop­erties. At the same time, PANAREZ resins permit the use of larger than normal quantities o f filler without sacrificing quality. This has resulted in important reductions in raw material costs.

PANAREZ resins, derived from petroleum, act excellently as polymeric plasticizers. They provide excellent color and color stability. They have low specific gravity. They are par­ticularly useful in GRS rubbers where improvements in proc-essability and stock physicaLs are desired—at a simultaneously reduced cost.

Whe the r you compound or use rubber for shoe soles, wire covering, floor tiles, tires, hose, insulators or some other prod­ucts, we welcome the opportunity to work confidentially with you on your particular problem. Readily available in various color grades and unlimited quantities, PANAREZ resins offer the compounder a completely reliable, low cost raw material.

In addition, the fiber strength of Nylon ranks first among all others, whether natural or synthetic. It has excellent heat resistance. It is un­affected by mold, fungi and bacteria growths. The extremely smooth sur­face of Nylon makes for easy cake discharge « e v e n extremely sticky and tenacious cakes separate freely and cleanly from the face of the cloth. This is important since it reduces blinding and increases flow rates and filter capacity.
