The teacher, Miss' MacDonald, and
pupils of S.S. No. 7, Con. 9, E. and
W. Wawanosh, are preparing for their
Christmas Tree Entertainment which
will be held on the evening of Thurs
day, December 19th. The public are
cordially invited.
THIS RUBBER CON
DUCTS ELECTRICITY
it ‘builds up’ to form a spark, when
someone touches the tank, which
might cause a--terrific explosion. The
same hazard is ’present when an aero
plane is landing but if the itires on
the gasoline truck or the tires on the
plane werd made of the conductive
rubber, this electrical charge would
escape harmlessly as the wheel touch
es the ground.
Other uses for ithis conductive rub
ber are suggesting themselves every
day, such as talcing the static electric
ity out of factory belting,, gasoline
hose, automobile engine mountings
and all types of buses, trucks and pas
senger cars.
Much work has yet to be- done in
this field but the results to date are
highly gratifying.
Embarrassing
“If the children are asleep^, wilt you
get out the electric train?”
It sounds startling. Any school boy
knows, of course, that one. of the most
valuable properties of rubber is its el
ectrical non-conductiviity or’: its ability
to "insulate” electrical conductors.
Now comes the Dunlop Company
and deliberately compounds a rubber
that will conduct a certain amount* of
electricity. It doesn’t seem to make
sense but it’s an actual fact . . . and
turns out to be a very valuable safety
measure too. Although still in some
what of an experimental stage, results
to date hav(e possessed definite prac
tical value and point to the complete
elimination of a number of hazards
which, while the average man on the
street ithinks little about- them, are
none the less quite serious.
Just think back a moment. Do you
remember how you used to rub your
feet on the carpet — a good insulator
— and get a spark from the radiator,
which was a good "ground”? Very
harmless, of course, but what would
happen if there were explosive solids,
liquids or gases present? Quite pos
sibly a terrific explosion, with serious
loss of life, property and consequent
interruption of vital war effort. Now,
if the floor covering had been a con
ductor of electricity, no explosion
could itake place because there would
be no spark to cause it. That, then,
is one application of conductive rub
ber.
Here is another. Did you ever no
tice the short chain that bounces
-along behind the big gasoline tank
trucks?' That is, of course, to "ground1'
any static and let it run away before
