Raleigh, Sept. 5.—Wall paper made from spun glass, porcelain enameled sections to be used in the construction of filling stations and roadside eating stands and even porcelain covered shingles for both exterior walls and roofs are among some of the newer uses to which minerals are being put—minerals found in abundance in North Carolina—according to State Geologist H. J. Bryson. These new uses constantly being developed for minerals is going to mean a great deal to the minerals industry in North Carolina, Bryson believes.
