SALT NECESSARY
(con't. from page 2, col. 5)

The wearing parts of tanks,
trucks and planes could not
take the terrific punishment to
which they are subjected if the
pinions and gear sufaces had
not been "Case hardened" in a
bath containing molten sodium
cyanide, another member of the
salt family.

Shortages of copper and
brass for shell cases have led
to the use of steel, plated with
copper or zinc to insure a
smooth non-rusting surface.
Sodium cyanide and cyanides
of copper and zinc - all members
of the salt family - are
required to plate these shells.

Likewise from salt comes
sodium peroxide, with which
millions of yards of cotton fabrics
for the armed forces are
bleached.

Chlorine, the other element
derived from salt, is equally
versatile. Added to drinking
water in small quantities, it has
saved thousands of lives by destroying
bacteria.

From hydrochloric acid, another
salt derivative, and
acetylene gas comes neoprene
synthetic rubber, referred to
by the Barueh Committee as
the "one synthetic material of
a quality to be the full equivalent
of natural rubber for combat
and heavy duty tires."
Neoprene is also used to coat
fabrics for blimps. Other salt-
derived products, the chlorinated
hydrocarbons, are required
in enormous quantities
to clean the metal parts going
into tanks, trucks, ships,
planes and guns. And one of
these compounds is used in
making smoke screens to conceal
the movements of United
States forces. Other chlorine
compounds include fire-extinguisher
fluids, refrigerants,
and anesthetics.

In the home, salt solutions
have long been used as a

Mr. and Mrs. Bud Knight,
McClure Smith, and Clifford
Cox, of Greenville, were recent
Sunday guests of Nellie Barnette
and Priscilla Bruce.

Among the Sunday guests of
Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Sprouse
were Mr. Ramey and
Johnny Ramey, of Anderson,
and Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Wilson
and family, of Greenville.

Mr. Kenneth Phillips, who
has recently been discharged
from the Army, was a recent
visitor in the plant.

We are glad to welcome
Ralph Sullivan, Walter Stroud,
and Walter Looper as new employees
in Weave Room No. 2.

Third shift workers miss
Mrs. Gladys Garrett, who has
been transferred to the second
shift, but they welcome Mrs.
Ida Pace on her job.

Mrs. Ruby Stone is all
smiles since her brother, Mr.
Leo Coke, has returned from
overseas.

Mrs. R. A. Smith, Mrs. Floyd

honored their brother, Mr. Leo
Coke, with a family reunion at
the home of Mrs. R. A. Smith in
Greenville recently.

Chemicals from salt are now
needed to make the new "sulfa"

The list of products made
from salt is exceedingly large,
and the research chemist is still
finding more.

LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

We are happy to report that
a number of new members
have recently affiliated themselves
with the library.

In mentioning these, we begin
the list with the names of
Mesdames Richard MacKenzie
and R. W. Couch, Jr. The husbands
of these ladies are employed
in the Slater plant, and
both couples are residing in the
Guest House. We not only welcome
these new members to the
Library, but, also to the community
and its activities.

Two of our new members
have also enrolled in the library
club work. Thomas Hall,
son of Mr. C. M. Hall, has
joined the Boy's Club, where
we wish for him a great deal
of success as he participates in
the club activities.

Frances Ellis recently joined
the Girls' Club. Frances is the
daughter of Mr. Cleo Ellis, and
we welcome her to the Girls'
Library Club.

Our new members include
two Marietta boys - Cleveland
Radford and "Buster" Wylie.
Cleveland is the son of G. E.
Radford, while "Buster" is the
son of Mr. J. A. Wylie.

The children of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Terrell of Travelers Rest,
are among our new members.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Terrell are
employed in the plant here. To
Debree, James and Fred Terrell,
Jr., we extend a hearty
welcome.

We had one promotion last
week. Imogene Parker, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Parker,
was promoted from Story
Hour to Girls' Club.

You should have seen little
Jim Horton when he visited the
library with his mother last
week. He was so anxious to
have a book "all his own," so
we found just the thing for him

MISS CAMDEN GIVES
BOOKS TO LIBRARY

Miss Della Camden, of Marietta,
recently donated to the
Slater Library three books
which will be of interest to the
Boy Scouts. All of these books
are written by Edward Griggs,
and the title are "A Boy
Scout's Chance," "A Boy
Scout's Adventure," and "A
Boy Scout's Struggle." These
books will be on the shelves
soon, and it is hoped that the
Scouts will read them at their
earliest convenience. We appreciate
these books, and thank
Miss Camden for her thoughtfulness
in giving them to the
library.

Bobby Sprouse, member of
the Boys' Library Club, has
also donated some books which
tell of the adventures and experiences of Boy Scouts. These
books are entitled "The Scout
Patrol Boys in the Frozen
South," and "The Scout Patrol
Boys Exploring the Yucatan."

Bobby, who is a member of
the local Boy Scout Troop, has
enjoyed these books and is
anxious to share them with his
friends. We thank him for the
books, and appreciate the fine
spirit he has shown in donating
them.

made especially for little hands
unaccustomed to handling
books. Jim was so happy, and
it made us glad that we had a
book appropriate for a tot as
young as he is. Jim's father is
the Slater druggist.

A number of new books have
been bought for the children
who use the Library. These
books were selected primarily
for the Story Hour groups,
Boys' Club and Girls' Club.
