Arkansas ‘Dugout’ Canoes | ' Vanish From Swampland The homemade Arkansas dugout descendant of the Indians’ crude boat that is fashioned from a solid log~-has almost vanished from the cypress-studded swamps of eastern Arkansas, There was a time when fishermen from one end of the swamps to the other “pulled” from the far South and as far north as the Missouri line to get one-armed Bill Jones to make them a new dugout, Today Bill Jones is long dead and the hundred or so dugouts he made have almost disappeared. His pat tern, a light wood frame, gathers dust in the loft of “Uncle John" Harvey's barn on Big island, near Lake City, Ark. Jim Fall, who can turn out a pretty smooth boat him- self when he can get suitable logs, has Bill Jones’ adze and other tools Like a fine violin, a Bill Jones dug- out can't be bought for less than a small fortune. Neat, light, perfectly streamlined, they are the best of all boats for travel among the cypress knees and fallen timber in the green glades of the lowlands Bill used to spend all his time fish- ng and ""digging'’ boats. He would hunt the sloughs over for a likely log of solid cypress Sassafras makes a better dugout, but sassa- grows big enough, i cut the log and snake with a bor. fras rarely Bill out woul of the botioms team of mules.

Such partitions frequently come in two heights—7 feet 4 inches and B feet 8 inches Each is made up of three units with the space between (he top of the third unit and the ceiling filled with a soundproof transom. AH units are 38 inches wide, Individual panels are 2% inches thick, built on frames with two ¥.inch layers of acousii. cal material on the inner side, and are embraced with two three-ply layers of plywood. Doors are sound. proof with the base pane] water and mop-proof. Partitions of this type are easily assembled and made rig: id with screws and full-length posts of special construction. Wiring goes through the end posts at either the upper cornices or the base. Lactic Acid Inte Rubber Many forward strides in the utili- | at 1290.9. m: al property con= | tation of waste products include some of promise to the lacquer and varnish industry. lar deals with converting the lactic acid in dairy products into a sub stance known as polymethylacryl ate, a rubberlike material, which in addition to being very tough and elastic—is not subject to discolora- tion by sunlight or ultra-violet rays. This method will probably prove of significance in the formulation of lacquers, varnishes and impregnat: | ing compounds. If it proves com- mercially practicable, a source of low-cost lacquer and varnish ingre- dients will ave been found.
