MUSIC CENTER ARCADE BLDG. 126 E. MAIN 772-2211 NEW YORK (UPI)-A golden haired tot named Shirley Tem ple was the movie queen of the i day. rlorello Lauuardia was the fiery little mayor of the nation's largest city. It was the year Douglas (Wrongway) Corrigan flew from Brooklyn lo Dublin. It was the year Hitler invaded Austria. And, it was the year a Wil mington, Del., industrialist stood before an audience at tending the New York Herald Tribune forum and announced the news of "a new word and a new material", nylon. The man was Charles M. A. Stine, a vice president of Du Pont, developers of the first fiber to come strictly from the test tube. Rayon, ahead of it, is a fiber made by forcing a solution of modified cellulose through minute holes and dry ing the filaments. The year of nylon's birth publicly: 19:18. The fiber was to provide the im petus for today's mammoth man created fiber industry, amazing in the number of ma terials available and the uses to which they are put. 23th Anniversary This year, observing its 25th anniversary, nylon itself is be ing produced by 112 companies in 120 plants and in 38 countries. In the United States alone, the one miracle fiber is pro duced at the rate of 600 million pounds, at a value close to $900 million. More than 19,000 per sons are involved directly in its manufacture; an estimated 750,000 workers in thousands of business firms depend on it in one way or another (or a live lihood. DuPonl says II years of re search and $27 million were spent in pioneering Ihe fiber. The man whose research cre ated it was Dr. Wallace H. Carothcrs, who died some 18 months before the first public announcement of the fiber was made, October 27, 1938. Nylon is created from atoms in coal, air and water. And a lady who snagged her first stockings made from the fiber returned them to DuPont, noting acidly, obviously somebody put too much air in this pair. Commercial production of the fiber did not begin until late 1939 and its early uses were for toothbrush bristles, fishing lines and surgical sutures. But the real impact of the invention came with production of hosiery in 1939. The first stockings were sold to DuPrit employes in February, 1939. And in October. 1939, a tew went on sale through retail stores in Wilmington. In May, 1910, they went on sale in stores throughout Ihe country. (In Us Way The synthetic was on its way. A giant, shapely leg modeled by movie star Marie Wilson was used to advertise the hosiery in Ihe Los Angeles area. The ad was 35 feet high and weighed two ton. But nylon did not remain available lo the public ,'or long.

Copies of the new bulletin are available on request at county extension offices or bv writing the OSU Bulletin Clerk, Corval lis. Kood faddists and quacks are apostles of pet ideas, it is noted. They partially quote authorita tive information or misuse it lo (it Iheir purposes, the booklet reveals.

Nylon stockings became like shoe ration coupons and steak and butter, if you were unpa triotic but had a good supply you could make a killing on the black market. In Tulsa, Okla., HO girls were asked what they missed most during the war. Twenty said men. Forty said nylons. The first post war nylons be gan to appear early in 1946 and the reaction often was riotous. In Philadelphia, 15 foot pa trolmen and five mounted po lice were on duty when a store offered nylons for the first time.
