Dear Mr. Boucher:
Yes, I am now “Mr.” again and
it is wonderful. I received the pa
pers and also the note from you
and Jim and I suppose by now the
camp site is just d-good range
land again.
I have been pretty busy since
I*ve been home and have been
^Working fourteen hours a day,
and am looking for help. How
ever, I still like it better than the
Army.
Think I had better get back to
work now so drop me a line when
you have time and let me know.
pyhat has happened to all the (
launch and what is new. Tell all

Dear Jim:
You said I’d never do this, so
I’m sending you a jumbo size to
upset your predictions!
The big day was Sunday at Fort
Lewis, and a white shirt is still
•not comfortable. But who would
trade a uniform for a good old
fashioned gabardine?
Now, we will waste our time
and money until it is time to head |
for California and school again, i
We will remember you in God’s
country this winter; wondering
which is the better sport: picking
granges or drinking coffee at the
North Pole.
Regards to all the fellows.

PAINTBRUSH BRISTLES!
FROM CASEIN
The lowly hog has another;
rival: paintbrush bristles can be
made from casein, a principal in
gredient of milk. Casein, a pro
tein, has been successfully made
into artificial bristles for paint
brushes that have good paint-car
rying capacity, make smooth films
and have good wear resistance, j
The present shortage of pig
bristles and other coarse animal
hair is responsible for the devel-'
opment. Nylon bristles are already
in use, but the civilian supply is
still short.
The development work was car
ried out by scientists of the East- j
ern Regional Laboratory of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
at Philadelphia, and is reported in
a recent issue of Industrial and
Engineering Chemistry.
These scientists developed a rel
atively simple method for making
suitable bristle material, using
commercial acid-precipitated cas
ein. They mixed the casein with
water, heated the mixture to a
! plastic mass, and then forced it
| through a die with holes of suit
able size. They then stretched the
fiber and hardened it with quin
1 one alone, or with quinone fol
lowed by formaldehyde. With this
latter treatment the fiber is fur
ther hardened and is made more
resistant to water, they report.
The paint brushes made with
this casein bristle are resistant to
olis and fat solvents, but soften
when allowed to stand in water.
The reign of Emperor Ken Lung
of China—from 1735-1798 — was
marked by 16 major floods.

wanted to be, when I returned
from my furlough.

or anyone else who cares,

TESTS HEARING
IN ONE EAR
—
Hearing losses can now be
tested by enclosing each ear in a
sound-proofed box containing a
small loud-speaker. The box cuts
out random noises, and the sound
from the loudspeaker can be reg
ulated. It is particularly effective
in discovering a marked loss of
hearing in one car only.

the untility house at Moses Point,
which put the lights, plumbing,,
water system, etc., out of commis
sion, until new equipment could
be flown in. Jack was unable to
land at Moses Point due to the
poor flying weather and the con
dition of the field. He returned
to Anchorage the same day.
