Priorities unemployment. No more money. John Jones, silk worker, is a victim of "priorities unemployment." It might have been James Smith, rubber worker. It might have been anybody. The "priorities unemployment" is part of a process of changing over, of retooling. And it's a temporary part, in most cases. Defense industries are expanding. In the long run, the defense program will make more jobs than it will break. It has already created 4,000,000 new jobs and there will be 2,500,000 more by April 1942. Production skills are needed for defense, John Jones'skills, James Smith's skills. How does "man meet job?"

"Here's where your parachute came from," Deena Clark, civilian defense volunteer tells Technical Sergeant Leo Matkins of the Army Air Corps. The worn out nylon stockings in this barrel full of salvaged stockings will be reprocessed and made into parachutes for army fliers, tow ropes for glider planes and other war material. The worn out silk stockings return to service as powder bags for the Army's big guns. The collection is typical of the thousands of salvage stations in retail stores throughout the country, which have collected 626,127 pounds of old silk and nylon stockings in three months. The campaign is directed by local salvage committees

The planes are made of balsa wood covered with silk and waterproofing material.

National Archives. Washington, D.C., Nov. 22. Preservation of documents has long been a problem in libraries and offices of record. It was once done by a process known as 'crepelining,' which consisted in placing coarsely woven silk over and under the paper to be preserved with the use of adhesive. The most modern process now used is called the laminating process and consists in sandwiching the document between two sheets of thin, transparent cellulose acetate. This is then placed between two highly polished metal plates and subjected to heat and pressure in a hydraulic press
