...children themselves none of this was as important as the prospect of a blacked-out Christmas. They planned to trim the bare steel girders of the big underground shelters and to set up Christmas trees, to have carols and mince pie. But the youngest moppets were afraid that London's anti-aircraft crews might shoot at Santa Claus...
Invented and manufactured by J. M. Cohen of Potomac Chemical Co., Tectyl does two things: 1) separates salt water from steel, 2) forms an oily, protective coating on the metal. It is electromagnetically attracted to steel and other electrically conducting metals, forms what are called polar films. There are four grades corresponding to film thicknesses ranging from .0002 to .0008 inch. The lightest Tectyl (thinnest film) can be used for cleaning machines of oil and dust, leaves a temporary lubricating and protective layer. The heaviest grade provides longtime protection for metals exposed to weathering...
...Their friendship is symbolic of a new bond which is growing between Protestants and Catholics throughout the Reich, where heretofore the two creeds have been divided as in few other lands by bloody memories of the Thirty Years' War.

Sculptor Bufano turned in an acceptable drawing of the frieze, began work on a 30-ft. clay model of one section, niggled, quibbled, haggled, ordered materials only to change his mind after the requisitions had become entangled in WPA red tape. At one time he planned to cut the frieze in stone, get it financed by private sponsors. Last March, because of the delay, the local art project felt...
