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.

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.

PEARLS FR O M
H E R R IN G
ECAUSE the lowly herring
caught in nets by the millions
and dumped in dory bottom s, al
ways thrashes furiously when
tran sferred to the m ain fishing
boat, a little-know n industry has
grown in A m erica since World
W ar I. 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. N ew bry said, and if a
driver accum ulates too m any con
victions or accidents in a 12-
m onth period he faces the possi
bility of license suspsnsion be
cause of his poor driving record.
F our such drivers had licenses
suspended in November, he added.
