Cheap Way Of
Fireproof Canvas
Been Discovered
Department of Agriculture Chem
ists Predict Great Benefits
of Process
WASHINGTON, D C, — An in
expensive weather resistant treat
ment which fireproofs canvas has
been developed by the United Stat
es Department of Agriculture. New
uses for canvas which may result
from this discovery will be reflected
in increased consumption of cotton.
The treatment was developed in
the bureau of chemistry and soils
after five years of research on fire
proofing materials and their appli
cation. The goal was not only a
weather-resistant fireproof canvas,
but a treatment low in cost, and the
firm is now working with the bureau
in adapting the treatment to commer
cial manufacture. While the process
at present can be used only with fact
ory equipment, Dr Martin Leather
man, who carried on the experiments
hopes that it can be developed for
home use and applied as a paint.
It is believed that with further re
search the process can be improved
upon and the cost further reduced,
which will make for greater use of
canvas. Public service patents have
been obtained for the different meth
ods of applying the treatment so that
anyone may use them.
While the work on fireproofing can
vas was primarily intended to reduce
fire risks on farms where canvas is
used to protect machinery and crops
from the weather, it will have a wid
er application. The fact that canvas
1 is combustible has been one of the
drawbacks to its use for awnings and
temporary shelters.
The development of weather-resist
ant, fireproofing treatment for fab
rics is of importance to the govern
ment itself, particularly in connection
with national defense. Both the ar
my and navy use great quantities of
canvas. ,
Dr Leatherman believes this fire
proofing treatment could be used on
fabrics other than canvas. He sug
gests that it might be applied to
special open weave cloth which is
used to shade tobacco in Connecti
cut and for tobacco plant beds in
the south. Any fabrics, he says,
which have a cellulose base can be
fireproofed by the process.

Early Tales Alaska
Rivale! By Plight
Kasaan Kay Men
Tales of privations and hardships
endured by early settlers of Alaska
fail to incite the interest and ad
miration of outsiders, largely be
cause of the lack of accomodations
the pioneers were forced to face.
An incident that occurred near
Ketchikan recently rivals any yarn
featuring pioneer hardships and
shows the spirit of the pioneer is
not entirely dead, according to the
Ketchikan Chronicle.
It features the attempt of two men
aiding a third who was ill and in
need of medical attention. All three
were located in the Kasaan Bay re
gion, prospectors and miners.
Tom Butler, an aged pensioner liv
ing at Hollis, was taken ill three
weeks ago, suffering from a severe
carbuncle on his neck. Lacking pro
per attention, the boil grew worse
as time passed.
O K Hillman and Wendell Daw
son are his closest neighbors. Dur
ing the old man’s illness they treat
ed his affliction as best they could
with limited medicants, making se
veral attempts meanwhile to reach
the Kasaan Bay cannery and radio
telpehone communication to solicit
the aid of the coast guard vessel Al
ert to bring him to the hospitpl at
Ketchikan for medical attention.
Every attempt they made to reach
the cannery was aborted The wea
ther was too severe, the cold snap
and its northerly winds making row
ing impossible They had no pow
er boat
Finally, after the snow storm and
during the comparatively warmer,
weather that followed, they did
manage to reach the settlement
But not without 18 hours of rowing
against the wind that remained cold
and still blew with sufficient force
to hold them up
Each man. when he reached Kn
saan, was encrusted with an inch
of ice, frozen to his seat from the

salt water spray that continually
was a mass of frozen spray
The distance from Hollis to the
Kasaan cannery is no more than ten
miles . The Alert answered the call
with the patient who has been un
for aid, returning the same day
der medical care since Mr Hillman
also came to the city but Mr Daw
son returned to his prospect
