...Salt Lake City, while a blinding snowstorm raged, the airport radioman heard the voice of Pilot Norman W. Potter, flying up from Oakland with the night transcontinental mail: "Eight miles north of Grantsville. Heavy snow. All O. K." He heard no more; Pilot Potter did not bring the mail in. Next day a searching party found him dead in the wreckage of his plane, under eight inches of snow, only ten miles from the Salt Lake airport. His mail cargo, scattered about, was recovered.

...enthusiastic du Pont Co. immediately christened their product Duprene, ordered a plant built at Deepwater, N. J. to manufacture rt commercially. Since it needs only acetylene, salt and water, it will not be expensive to make. Duprene looks like natural rubber, shows the same molecular makeup in xray, but is denser, more resistant to water absorption, to attacks by ozone, oxygen and other chemicals, to swelling by gasoline & kerosene. It is vulcanized by heat alone, without sulphur. At high temperatures it hardens slowly. Its powers of resistance are expected to give it many commercial uses now denied to rubber...
