For generations children have been asking the question, “How do you put lead in a pencil?”, and for generations parents have been answering, “You tyuy it that way at the store!” Actually, a lead pencil is a marvellous thing. Here in America we use them at the rate of 1 every 45 days for every man, woman, and child. Oh, you usually lose your share? Well, that’s life! • The “lead pencil” was discovered in 1564 when a hurricane in Great Britain knocked over a tree and exposed the world's only known source of pure graphite. A neighboring farmer soon discovered that it marked things and wouldn’t wash off, and used it to mark sheep. Soon it was being mined, and since it was the only known source of pure, usable graphite, it was heavily guarded. Finally/ the vein ran out. During the early 19th century, an engineer trying to perfect a material for cannonballs for Napoleon discovered that inferior grades of graphite, mixed with clay, and then fired in a furnace, produced a substance as usable as English graphite. Today, a pencil is made quite a bit like a sandwich. Slats are planed to half the thickness of a lead pencil, and grooved. Two are then fitted together over a piece of “lead” which is placed in the groove. The wood, usually cedar, is then placed under great pressure, and the pencil is laquered and painted more times than your family car. It’s a curious thing—-for some reason, people just refuse to buy pencils painted any color other than yellow! Stores have discovered that 75% of the people who are persuaded to buy a perfectly good pencil that is some other color, will complain that the non-yellow pencil is hard to sharpen or does not write clearly! If you had all the raw materials, and start from scratch, it would cost you about SSO to make that little yellow pencil you buy for about a nickel! And if you keep sharpening that pencil, it will draw a line 38 miles long. You can even sharpen it 17 times before throwing it away — if you don’t lose it firtt! Yes, the old Latin “penicillus”, or writing e " brush, has come a long way from its humble beginnings, and is one of the simple little things we take for granted, but would have a hard time getting along without! — Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.
