The hulls made of these impregnated plastic resin glass fibers (a) do not have to be repainted (color is impregnated right through the hull at the time when it is built); (b) cannot be at- tacked by marine insects; (c) cannot suffer from dry rot; (d) cannot leak or open up at the seams because there are none; (e) cannot rust or corrode like steel or alumi- num; (f) do not grow heavier by absorbing water. Once a mold has been made, a 26-foot hull can be completed in seven working days and a 45-foot hull in 15 working days, an August 25 United States Embassy dispatch from London reports. An article in the August 20 issue of The Fishing News, a British fishery peri- odical, points out that "It may be possible to evolve standard-size lifeboats. Tests along these lines are already being made and negotiations are on foot with Lloyd's regarding tests, etc. As experience grows it may be possible to evolve standard types of inshore vessels which will possibly reduce the cost of replacements to the fishing industry. The matter of abrasion on sandy beaches has yet to be ; INSTITUTIONAL MARKET EXPANDING "Half a million 'retailers' of food, serving 65 millionmeals a day, furnish a market that canners should no longer treat as an 'orphan,'" the Florida Can- ners Association was told at a recent According to the director of marketing of the Can Manufacturer's Institute, "people spend $1 out of every $4 paid for food in 'eating out.'"
