Wilson, president, said yesterday in a visit here. Several other towns in the area also are being considered, Wilson said. Meeting with representatives of the new industries committee of the Box Elder Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon, Wilson described the type of plant his company was planning for the Intermountain area, and the condition that might influence their decision of a location. The Fram corporation anticipates a plant requiring about 40,000 square feet floor space, s of it on the ground on the secfloor and ond floor, or all on the ground floor. About five acres would be required, and the plot must be served by a railroad siding. The company'eventruaHy would employ from 100 to 125 personnel, virtually all of them local people with only a 'half-dozeor so supervisors to be brought in from other plants operated by the company. From 60 to 75 percent of the employees would be women. The Fram corporation builds oil, air and fuel filters, and last year did about 17 million dollars business, the companys president said here yesterday. Only a dozen or so of the oving items In its line of more than 100 items would be manufactured here. The company would desire that the plant be .built with local capital and leased to the Fram corporation on a 15 or 20 year lease, with purchase option. About 150,000 worth of machinery and equipment would be moved to the plant here, and the average inventory of manufactured items would be about two-third- one-thir- d n fastest-m- $200,000, Wilson John Reeves Spends con- sidered as a possible site for a manufacturing and distribution plant of the Fram Filter corporS. p n Fram Corp.

Name Group To Get Promontory Right-Of-Wa- y Earl Anderson, president of the Box Elder Wildlife association, this week named a cominto the mittee on rights-of-wagreat bird refuge on the Promontory .side of the marsh in an effort to expedite the project so that it can be used for hunting this fall. Named on the committee were Harold Felt, chairman; Eoyce Peterson,. 'Leo , Haosen JJoytj, Reese and Devereil Peterson who are charged with the responsibility of finding locations for boat landing facilities for the duck hunters. All too short a time remains before the opening of the shooting season but R. L. Turpin, chief of the State Fish and Game department, feels that it can be accomplished and is ready with heavy machinery to build entries as soon as rights-of-wacan be obtained. It was the home of the Box Elder Wildlife organization that provisions could be made for shooting in the Willard bay this year. To this end, Newell B. Cook, chairman, and members of his committee, devoted intensified work but found themselves blocked Iby two small gun clubs, situated on the south side of Willard bay, who had acquired either ownership or long time lease of every foot of the possible entrance points along east and south of the bay area, and who, thereby, made for themselves a closed shooting area on a marsh belonging to the State of Utah, and on which the State Fish and Game department, R. L. Turpin, chief, has acquired a lease from the State Land Board, with the object of opening the entire area to public shooting, which would really have been better for the existing club, since it is a vast area and more shooters would have stirred the ducks up for better shooting, tout perhaps of greater value would have been the stirring of ducks out of death holes. It has long been known to the biological survey that this Willard bay is an annual source of 'ery severe duck loss. And to forestall further heavy Josses in this area, the matter of trenching and completely draining out the waters of the bay is now being considered by joint action of the federal department and the State Fish and Game. Engineering work is now being done by federal engineers, from which needed data will be available for determining the reuisite .work necessary to trench and drain the area. This, of course, will mean no shooting for anyone on Willard it will mean bay. However curtailment of immense losses in the duck family. y Old Folks Will Meet In Brigham All of the Brigham City and surrounding area old folks will meet at the home of George Spencer, located at 74 north First east, Brigham City, Satur- Saturday day, Sept. 17, Everybody interested, both young and old, are invited to i attend, it was announced today.
