The Hercules commercial explosives business, the single product line that brought Hercules Incorporated and its Bacchus Works into existence more than 70 years ago, is being sold. Hercules officials announced that it has signed a letter of intent for the sale to Ireco Chemicals of Salt Lake, an industrial explosives manufacturer and subsidiary of Dyno Industries A.S. of Oslo, Norway. Both parties are in the process of preparing agreements that will be subject to the approval of Hercules and Dynos boards of directors. In announcing the agreement, H. A. Schowengerdt, president, Her- cules Aerospace Co. said, The explosives business is a mature one and consideration of this sale is part of a continuing effort within Hercules Aerospace to apply our resources to areas with greater growth opportunities. Commercial explosives gave Hercules its start in 1912 in an anti trust action which resulted in splitting the Dupont high explosives operating department in three ways. The Bacchus works was on the Dupont drawing board at the time and Hercules Obituaries Roderick BURIED.

In addition, Hercules was assigned a strong and well distributed line of black powder mills, none of which exist today, plus two active dynamite plants at Kenvil and Hercules, Calif. But more importantly, the new company gained rights to double base powders which started it on the way in the sporting and military powder business which, in turn, led to todays high performance rocket motor propellants. According to Schowengerdt, the sale of the explosives business will have no affect on the Bacchus operations, now spread over four plants, since dynamite has not been produced here since 1962. The sale includes Hercules detonator facility in Port Ewen, N.Y.; ammonium nitrate facilities in Louisiana and explosives plants in Carthage, Mo.; Bessemer, Ala.; and Ishpeming, Mich. Many details remain to be worked out. However, both parties agreed on the importance of providing a continued source of products to Hercules distributors and to customers and Hercules Aerospace Co. Ireco was founded in Salt Lake City in 1963 to promote the discovery of slurry explosives and other ammonium nitrate-baseexplosives. Later it was part owned by Rio Tino, then wholly owned by the Houston-base- d Gulf Resources Co. It was acquired in 1984 by the Dyno group, founded in 1865 to promote the explosives technology of Alfred E. d Seven Thefts Are Probed At Magna MAGNA.

Granite School Board Continued from page 1 overlapping schedules and a shortage of buses in the district fleet, it was estimated that students lose approximately an hour an 40 minutes of class time per week due to a lack of buses. An additional 20 buses are needed to bring the district up to snuff, the board was told. Each bus would cost approximately $200,000, with at least another $140,000 for maintenance. Ross Wentworth, director of the school facilities department, presented cost estimates for four additional areas.

They made us come early so there would be time to tell their story. A story that made us think. Laugh. Weep. And finally to with much stand and applaud gusto. Such was the scene Monday night when Taylorsville high patrons roared their approval of a masterful production of Fiddler On The Roo(. It must have been a temptation for director Russ Johnson and his crew to end the evening with the intensely moving closing scene, but to forego a curtain call might have been construed as unforgivable by those so appreciative of what had transpired over the three-hou- r period. They were standing on their feet long before the key characters that helped make the production an unforgettable one took their bows because it was far more than any one performance that grabbed their fancy. It was the overall general excellence from set design to direction and especially the incorporation of the chorus that made the experience a special one for the audience. From an incredibly strong beginning highlighted by total use of the auditorium, to a finale that incorporated that same technique and tingled the emotions, the show was successful. Both Mr. Johnson and music - much taken with Marty Hughes strong performance as Lazar Wolf, the butcher. He proved that the role neednt be filled by a heavyset person. Ted Efron's Rabbi was completely In control, yet brought chuckles on several occasions and Shannon Hailstone was strong and convincing as Yente, the matchmaker - especially in the closing scene. There were others in the unbelievably large cast that made the show work to perfection - from Darin Farnworth as the fiddler, to Liz Birkholz as Grandma Tzeitel and and Brenda Jensen as Fruma-Sara- h the many others with singing and speaking parts. The faculty guidance of Johnson, Wendel, orchestra director Gary Jensen, choreographers Robbin C. Jones and Stacy Jarret, technical director Lance Hansen, art director Joyce Rawson and a handful of others must have Dr. Earl Catmull popping his buttons. Among the many highlights in the production was the hauntingly beautiful Sunrise Sunset and the hilarious Tevyes Dream, but few could top the finale when the emotions of what happened on stage were brought to bear from singers so close you could touch them - and see that they were feeling those same emotions. Take a bow, anyone who was connected with the show. director Norm Wendel have been associated with excellent productions of Fiddler at Kearns high and - high, respectively.

Fiddler cannot survive a weakness in that character. There were none. His characterization, his singing, his interaction with other cast members -all simply flawless. In so difficult a role for one so young. His equal was Golde, the wife of 25 years. Her Jewish accent, maturity and wide range of believable emotions complemented everyone who appeared on stage with her -especially Tevye. Together they made beautiful music in Do You Love Me, one of many highlights of the show. Each of the three key daughters and their suitors brought his or her own special strength to the show. Beth was especially Wright believable as the eldest, Tzeitel, and opposite her, Steve Miller was absolutely wonderful as Motel, the tailor. Jacque Fredericks musical sequence as Hodel was excellent and her Perchick had a special kind of appeal. Charise Christiansen touched our emotions as Chava and Keith Lever was solid as her Fyedka. The character roles were delightfully filled. The audience was Granger Schedules Cheese, Butter Being Distributed TAYLORSVILLE.
