from Compania Fundidora de Fierro y Acero de
Monterrey, S. A. at Monterrey.
Mexico. - Scrap steel needs-of the
Mexico
City plant are obtained locally, with much of the supply
coming from the fabricating departments of that plant.
The copper
purchased for the plant originates from Mexican ore, which is refined
in the United States and returned in ingot form to Mexico City duty
free.
Other raw materials are procured by purchase locally and from
sources
from within the United States.
The electric furnaces in the
company's Mexico City plant operate exclusively with scrap purchased
locally, crop end of ingots shipped from the company's Piedras Negras
plant and scrap produced in the fabricating plants of the company.
In Mexico due to
the low level' prevailing for many years in expenditures for capital purposes and for necessary repairs, the company
believes that there is accumulated a large potential demand for -con¬
struction materials and equipment.
During the war years,-when the
country was to a large measui'e cut off from its European and American suppliers of industrial products, steps were taken looking toward
the expansion of Mex'co's industrial,economy.
As the country becomes
freed from wartime inability to obtain the' necessary equipment, tech¬

Sylvania Industrial Corp.—Improves Textile Finishing
Substituting an oxidizing agent for heat, this corporation has de¬
veloped an improved method of making cellulose suitable for textile
finishing, it was announced on Dec.. 20. In the past, heat has never
been
completely satisfactory because of the difficulty of controlling
the

exact amount of' it that is required, and as a result,
heating created non-uniformities in the finished product.

months will step up photoflash pro¬
of the highest pre-war year.
In
discussing
further
Wabash plans for photoflash ' production,
Mr.
Parker pointed to the phenomenal growth of the photoflash industry
in the past ten years, stating that photoflash use had climbed from
440,000 flashbulbs in 1930 to an estimated 33,000,000 in 1941, last
peacetime year.
Mr. Parker predicted that sales throughout the
industry during 1946 would shatter all previous records, with con¬
sumption of 60,000,000 flashbulbs easily attainable through the tre¬
mendously increased popularity of photography as a national hobby,
and the impetus provided by introduction of popular-priced flashbulbs
and correspondingly low-priced flash cameras for amateur home use.
New
Wabash products slated for immediate development and im¬
provement include new types" of photoflash bulbs and other photo¬
graphic lighting units, ultra-violet and infra-red heat lamps and light

will supply two types of service, the equipment for
listed as "standard" by the Under¬
of the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
In
one
case, the
installation upon the consumer's premises consists of
permanent storage tanks of varying capacities, - depending upon the
number
of gas appliances installed and the volume of anticipated
Philgas usage. ; These tanks remain the property of the corporation
and are filled directly from the corporation's tank trucks.
The second
type of service employs no permanent storage tanks upon the con¬
sumer's premises.
Instead, the corporation will deliver portable tanks
filled .with Philgas which will be replaced by filled tanks when the
Philgas confrnts therein are partially or completely exhausted.
In
neither case is
the consumer required ever to order Philgas, since
the tank truck delivery man, on his regular rounds, simply reads the
meter
and
replenishes the supply, or replaces the tank,
without
entering the customer's home or place of business.

Philippine Air Lines originally started operations in 1940,
flying
passengers, cargo and mail from Manila to Baguio and Manila to Cebu,
via
Paracale,
Legaspi, Catarman, and Tacloban, and from Legaspi
to Cebu, a total of 906 miles of routes.
Other services from Manila
to Cebu, Surigao, Del Monte and Davao,
and from Manila to Zamboanga,
via
Dumaguete
and
Dipolog,
with
a
connecting service
between Zamboanga and Davao, were approved but the outbreak of war
prevented their being flown. Application for further service over a pro¬
posed route from Baguio along the northern coast line to Aparri has
been
held In
abeyance pending procurement of equipment and per¬
sonnel.
The system when fully developed will blanket the Islands from
Luzon to Mindanao, with a network of nearly 3,000 route miles.
Mr.-- Frye declared that
airline service would greatly assist the
Philippine government in resuming its interrupted functions and will
aid in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Islands.
