N TH IS ISSU E of The Pilot, we have a graphic picture story of a Brookings business enterprise th at we all, as citizens, may well be proud of. A story of a v en tu re th at, in its infancy, was practically wiped out by fire, only to be re built in a few short months, b e tte r than before. I Surm ounting an adversity that might easily have been their downfall, and showing a faith in the com m unity th a t.w e m ay all profit by, the Weatw-ood Company, E. C. Cole and A1 Hopper, m erit the com m unity’s w holehearted com m enda tion. < e Every day I am more deeply convinced that that which m akes the difference between one man and another between the weak and the powerful, the great and the small is nergy, sure determ ination, a purpose once formed and then no devia tion. Vision a group startin g a project w ith this sam e purpose ful determ ination. A united com m unity that knows w hat it w ants and working w ith this sam e determ ination. T here would be no lim its to what m ight be accomplished. Every day we meet some neighbor with a worried rum or— a doubting Thomas w ith no confidence in the com m unity or himself. He cnm,> here with a purpose and an idea surely, but evidently without that energy or faith in himself, or he would never have doubted Any thinking m an expects ad versity, but treating it as an experience and a lesson for fu tu re reference and not the end, he can not fail. L et’s take a lesson from Westwood Company and as a com m unity not ask : Can we do it? But, how shall it be done? I might add that one small beginning to a united com m u nity is to become a m em ber and regular at tender to your Cham ber of Commerce. H. K. For What It's Worth . By C lifford P. R owe TRAVELED Io a convention in Spokane last week and was just alxiut the whole thing as a kid taking his first tra in ride. In th at re- spect I guess I ’m just like most o t h e r p e o p le when it comes to conventions. We Americans a r e undoubtedly the greatest conven tion goers in the world Ju st let any t h r e e or m ore people become interested in the same thing, w hether It be m atch covers or flying saucers, and a cons ent ion is txnind to be the first order of business One thing that Impresses me about conventions is that every delegate is imbued with the firm and alm ost fanatic belief that the organization he represents is eas ily the outstanding one present. 1 have even hail a sneak* that therein lies the »se of conventions: To I as excited Thursday, December 18,1952 ¿a He's having his lungs checked to make certain he hasn’t a hidden case of tuberculosis. Because TB has no symptoms at first, chest X-raying of apparently healthy peo- pie is advocated by the voluntary tuberculosis association s whose work is supported by the Christ mas Seal Sale being conducted from Nov. 17 to Dec. 25. Leading the list, as usual, was driving while intoxicated which acounted for 211 suspensions.

The herring loses most of its scales in this struggle. These scales are the raw m aterial for w hat the trad e calls "pearl essence,” from which come sim u lated pearls as well as pearl laco- 1 uer and other by-products. The lacquer is used as a finish on such products as fancy buttons, shoes, autom obiles, toys, kitchen appliances and lamps. The Mearl C orporation of New- York City, a leading gproducer of pearl essence, sells about 10.000 pounds a year a t $15 to $30 a pound, according to grade. About 100 people are employed in two plants, one at E astport, M e , and the o th er at Roselle P ark. N.J., and at a laboratory at Peek- skill, N.Y. A tiny crystal underneath each scale is the base of the pearl es sence The shed scales are pro cessed at dockside p lants Speed in handling the herring is essen tial to prevent the crystal from corroding. Once tihs happens, the crystals lose top value, selling for $1.60 to $3 a pound. Processing involves various ojx'rations which include churning, straining and washing. The ¡x'arl essence is mixed w ith lacquer, w ith dye added for colors o th er han n a t ural i>cHrl, and applied by the usual m eans for paints or varnish. Exjx'nsive sim ulated pearls are m ade in the sam e general m anner as the irrita te d oyster m akes the real thing: m ultiple layers of onionskin thickness upon a glass lx*ad base. To distinguish the o y ster’s product from a sim ulated one, bite it. gently; the real thing is roughter. Clyde Carley. E arl T.
