MEETING HELD WITH KENNECOTT OFFICIALS A closed meeting between the Bingham Property Owners Com-mittee and officials of Kennecott Copper Corp- - was held at the City Hall in Bingham Wednesday morn-ing. At the meeting, the committee representing property owners sub-mitted a figure to Kennecott repre-sentatives which was token by them for under advisement. Future meet-ings are anticipated between the committee and company represen-tatives. In attendance at the meeting were the entire Bingham property owners committee Boyd J. Ner-cli-chairman, Harold Chester, C. A. Morley, Pete Dimas, Hugo Bian-ch- i, Mark lngalls, Mayor Joe Dis-penz- a, also Councilmen Verl Peter-son and Lawrence West represent-ing the town board and F.C. .Green, general manager Utah Copper Di-vision; J. C. Laadenberger, general superintendent of operations, and Ward Ballmer, public relations di-rector for Utah Copper Division, representing Kennecott. .O FIRST PATENT GIVENKENNECOTT The first patent granted Kenne-co- tt Copper Corporation as a re-sult of its patent plan program has been issued by the UJs. Patent of-fice, and three employees will share in an initial $1,000 award. The invention is an automatic, cyclic discharge device for rotary materials processing vessels. It found practical application at the Ray Mines Division sponge iron plant at Hayden, Ariz. Sharing in the initial award and in line to receive 25 per cent of estimated savings over a period are: Hans H. Pick, project engineer, Western Mining Divisions engineering department; Henry W. Frar.z, Western Mining Divisions research department, both of Salt Lake City, and D. A. Brandt, a supervisor at the Ray Mines Divis-ion. The invention is the result of cooperative effort between the ooeratinn and research departments of Kennecott. It is ex-pected the device will reduce costs and improve the grade of sponge iron produced at the Hayden plant. When the invention was install-ed at Ray in May 1958, the three men shared an award of $200. With the granting of the patent, they will sharo another $800. Under the suggestion system and patent plan program inaugurated by the com-pany in 195 7, the employee inven-tors will then be paid 25 per cent of the estimated net savings before taxes for a period under normal operating conditions. The maximum award under the Kenne-cott patent plan for any one pat-ent is $50,000. In explaining the application of the invention, officials said at the Hayden plant, sponge iron is dis-charged into a rotary cooler at 1,900 degrees Fahrenheit. It is de-sirable that a atmos-phere be maintained in the cooler and that the discharge of the cool-ed sponge iron be effected with a minimum entry of air. The inven-tion provides a new, automatic, cyclic device which permits per-iodic discharge of the fully cooled sponge, iron from the cooler during rotation without the entry of air. Mr. Pick, a native of Germany has had wide experience in the mining and minerals industries field throughout the world. He joined Ker.necott in 1954. Mr. Franz, a native of Montana, has also had wide experience as a metallurgist and consulting engi-neer. He joined Kennecott in 1956. JURY INDICTMENT QUASHED FOR BINGHAM POLICE CHIEF Third District Judge A. H. Ellett Saturday quashed a grand jury in-dictment against Police Chief Boyd J. Nerdin of Bingham Canyon. Mr. Nerdin was charged with willfully allowing gambling and the sale of alcoholic beverages in an indictment returned by the Salt Lake County Grand Jury last De-cember. Judge Ellett ruled the grand jury charged Chief Nerdin under the wrong statute. He ruled that the statute listed in the indictment ap-plies only to elected officials where as the chief of police job in Bing-ham is an appointed position. Judge Ellett explained there are two other statutes under which the ch ef could have been charged. One requires officers to seize gambling devices and to inform against and prosecute the operators of such de-vice. Failure to do this is a mis-demeanor. The other concerns the duties of police officers regarding the illegal sale of alcoholic beverages and al-lows removal from office as well as other penalties under a misdemea-nor charge. r EASTER SEAL - DRIVEJOWON Counting on the luck of the Irish to help them accomplish their goal, 187.000 sheets of I960 Easter Seals went into the mails on St. Patrick's day carrying a "Please Help Us" pica from crippled children to homes throughout Utah. The mailing was the first step in the month-lon- g appeal conducted by the Utah Society for Crippled Children and Adults to raise funds for continuing and expanding ser-vices to the handicapped in Utah. It will cont nue through Easter Sun-day, April t 7. Ted Cannon, well known news-paper columnist and general chair-man for the drive, is urging all Utahns to watch for their Easter Seals and to respond generously to the appeal. Easter Seal contributions provide the main financial support to the state's three treatment centers in Salt Lake, Ogden and Provo. A vocational rehabilitation workshop, opened in Salt Lake last July, is also supported by Easter Seal do-nations. Goal for the I960 campaign is $40,000.00. The I960 letter includes a mes-sage from David Kelley, age 7, son of Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Kelley of Ogden. David is Utah's I960 Easter Seal child. He is at this time a pa-tient undergoing corrective surgery at one of the state's children's hos-pitals. The Easter Seal appeal is being conducted simultaneously by 1,655 state and local effiiliates of the Na-tional Society for Crippled Child-ren and Adults in the 50 states. District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. In Utah last year, 1,009 handi-capped people received help from Easter Seal Funds. O NOTICE All dogs in the City of Bingham Canyon must be licenced.

O INCOME TAX FILING AIDS When you sign your tax return, you state: "I declare under the pen-alties of perjury that this return (including any accompanying sche-dules and statements) has been ex-amined by me and to the best of my knowledge a"nd belief is a true, cor-rect and complete return." There is no reason for you to pay more taxes than the law pre-scribes or to be timid in taking every deduction permitted by law. Your tax return should contain a full and clear explanation of ev-ery item entered thereon; and you should retain in your possession for at least 6 years, all pertinent pap-ers, bills, checks, receipts, etc., in connection with your return. .Uncle Sam has many sources of information concerning your in-come besides your tax return. In addition your return is audited by a trained staff who have had ex-perience with every conceivable method of avoiding or evading tax-es The Treasury has added a large number of employees to its staff and each return is due for a more thorough going over than in past years. These people are well train-ed and know their business, but they are not mind readers. . Be sure to fully explain every de-tail of your tax return on the re-turn or on an attached statement so that Uncle Sam will understand exactly what you are doing.
