Ray Johnston Men Used Plastics First As Collars 86 Years Ago Women who regard their plastic squeeze bottles as something very new, may be surprised to learn that men were the first to use and wear plastics away back in 1868. That was the year when the shortage of ivory hit the billiard ball trade and celluloid was born. |p Soon thrift-minded men were wearing shirts with detachable cel- luloid collars and cuffs which they removed 'at night and spong Celluloid remained the only member of the plastics family for 41 years. Then, in 1909, the first heat and materials were discovered and prom romptly became pot handles and lephone sets. FAMILY TREE This was the beginning of the two distinct branches of the plastic family: the thermoplastic and the therm branches. The ther- moplastic branch was to include all astic materials which, like cel- break-resistant plastic | P 1938 in the form of long-wearing faucet - washers, stove gears and bristles for brushes. Still another is melamine, now familiar as col- orful tableware that is scratch- resistant and difficult to break. Since it belongs to the thermo- setting branch, melamine will dis- color or char rather than soften or urn in contact with a flame. ENGLISH WAR BABY One of the more recent arrivals ed | is polythene, which as an English "war baby', played an heroic role in the development of radar. Poly- thene's combination of properties was so unique, it was quickly ressed into civilian service follow- ing demobilization. Polythene is the plastic that flex- es and bends to the touch in cos- metic squeeze bottles. When rolled out into sheet form it's the plastic that becomes moisture-proof gro- cery bags with a hundred and one re-uses. Polythene goes into the re- frigerator as pliable ice cube trays, into freezing units as freezer bags and underground as water pipin the plastic will withsta d, soften when d to suf- ficient heat and harden when cool- ed. The thermosetting branch was #0 embrace all plastic materials that can be set by heat and pres- sure into permanent shapes like pot handles that will not soften when reheated. Between 1909 and 1926 two more materials joined the grow- arly, One was for industrial The other, which was body yi. skim milk, became but- tons and buckles, beads and knit- Ming needles and belongs to heat-sensitive thermoplastic branch. From 1926 on the plastics family began propagating at a great rate. New materials were born to both branches of the family almost ev- ery year. One of these new types was the acrylics, which in crystal-clear form can transmit light around a curve. Luminous outdoor signs and sparkling brush and comb sets are typical examples of these mater- which are thermoplastic and therefore soften if exposed to ylon is another newcomer which made its first appearance in Note Our New Address Sharp Electric Co. 140 Simcoe St. S.

One of its newest applications is in toys where resistance to break- age and ability to snap back into its original shape please mothers and tots alike. Polythene's 'qualities of being odorless, tasteless, non- toxic and lightweight make these toys ideal for small folk who can chew on them to their hearts' con- tent as well as float them in the bath tub. Though still an infant member of the plastics family, polythene has shown such versatility, a plant to provide Canada with her own sup- ply of polythene resin was opened at Edmonton two months ago. But even before the first shipment was made to customers, plans were an- nounced for the plant's expansion. PERSONAL NOTES Mr. and Mrs. R. A.

Lush green leafy vegetables, radishes, carrots, celery and tomatoes can be picked from your garden or bought fresh from your grocer's. Fruits raspberries, cherries, cantaloupe -- all ready to add taste and cool color to summer meals. Salads are an important dish the year 'round, but crisp and cool sal- ads are particularly inviting during hot summer days. A salad a day is a healthy eat- ing habl to develop. Rich in vita- and minerals, salads are low in calories and therefore ideal for the many who must watch their waistline closely. That doesn't mean that you have to go hungry. Salads can be as high in protein and energy content as any other food. The man of 'the family and active growing youngsters should have no complaints if t are served a generous sized salad help- ing that includes meat, fish, poul- , or dairy products in combina- tion with vegetables and salad dressing. Certainly no other food lends it- self to such a variety of color com- binations as do salads, and that alone should perk up even the most jaded appetite. All the contrasting colors of nature can be found in fruits and vegetables In choosing ingredients for a salad, try and select foods that offer contrast in color, flavor and texture.

In preparing salads it's usually found that the simplest are the most appealing. Greens are the base of any salad and only fresh, crisp greens should be used. These should be in season. Greens should be thoroughly washed and then ained on a wire rack or patted dry on a soft towel as soon as they are brought into the kitchen. This is very important. A slushy salad lacks both taste and eye-appeal. By storing greens in the vegetable crisper of your refrigerator, they will still have their original crisp- ness, color and -flavor when they reach the table, For the housewife who likes to develop something original salads are made to order.

George Starvation Diets Endanger Health This is the time of year when some older women decide to go on a diet, aftef all. Bathing suits make them conscious of excess. They hope to lose extra poundage in order to look well. In desperation, they may re- sort to drastic "fad" diets.

They cannot provide you with enough fuel, calories, or es- sential nutrients to carry on your every day activities.
