SYNTHETIC RUBBER
WIDELY USED
AKRON, O. (TP)—The nation’s
present rubber supply position is
much better than it was in 1940,
according to figures compiled by
the B. F. Goodrich Co.
In 1940 the United States con
sumed 350.000 tons of rubber, 97
per cent of which was imported
from the Far East. At that time
this country had the capacity to
produce only 4,500 tons of man
made rubber of all types.
Today the nation is consuming
rubbe rat a rate of more than 1,
000,000 tons a year but has facili
ties for producing 940,000 tons of
American rubber. Output of man
made rubber will be at the rate
of 740.000 tons early in 1951.
U. of A. Offers
Bonus For Co-Eds
FAIRBANKS, (jP)—In this Far
Northern trap-line country, they
are putting out bait to lure co-eds
to the girl-shy University of Alas
ka.
The Fairbanks Retail Merchants
Association took action after an
appeal from a delegation of male
students. The collegians appealed
j for some kind of action to bring
more girls to the campus; they are
tired of the ratio that gives them
j
only every fourth dance at cam
pus parties.
The association responded with
an offer to pay travel costs of any
Alaskan lass “of reasonable age”
who will enroll as a student. The
i offer is good until Oct. 1.
The association even assures ar
i rangements for part-time jobs if
1 needed.
The school is seeking at least 50
, more co-eds.
Letters from prospective co-eds
have indicated the war situation
and a desire to “stay closer to
home” have cooled their interest
' in the Farthest North American
University.

A BOOM IN
HARDWOOD VENEERS
, NEW YORK, </P)—A record of
lout billion square feet of hard
wood veneers is being produced »
this year to meet the expanding *
demand for fancy plywoods. The
Veneer Association reports that in
addition to grain-figured veneers
used for furniture, radio and tele
vision cabinets, the home building
boom has developed an unusual
demand for veneer paneling, flush
type doors and built-in cabinets.
Hardwood plywood construction >
of interior walls has received av*
big boost in the popularity of
ranch-type homes. Making larger
panels possible, veneers of this
type are being used widely for
living-room fireplace walls and
colonial style kitchen din i n g
| spaces as well as for dens and li
braries. 4
