Geneva works uses huge supply of coal More than a hundred million centuries ago, giant dinosaurs stalked the lush jungles and peat bogs which then covered much of Southeastern Utah. The huge, flesh-eatin- g car-nivores and dense tropical veg-etation have long since vanish-ed but, today, Utah's men of steel convert the material formed from the prehistoric peat beds coal into the chem-ical building blocks for more than 250,000 products used in our civilization. Each year, enough coal to fill a string of railroad cars more than 200 miles long rolls into U. S. Steel's big Geneva Worlcs to feed the long batter-ies of coke ovens at Geneva and Ironton. Here, the coal most of it mined in Utah is converted under intense heat into coke for the blast furnaces. How- - ever, this huge supply of coal gives up more than coke. From the valuable gases dri-ven off and captured during this process, are produced thou-sands of tons of valuable coal chemicals that are marketed throughout the eleven western states each year. During the past half-centur- y, these coal chemicals have be-come so important that it would be imDosslble at anv time during a 24-ho- ur period not to be within sight or touch of some product that once started out as a black, shiny lump of coal. Among some of the better known of these,! made possible by Utah Steelmakers, are drugs, plastics, fertilizers, mir-acle fabrics, paints and var-nishes, insect and bug killers, explosives and wood preserva-tives. For the ladies, there are per-fumes, bath powders, lipstick and cosmetics, nylons and de-tergents. Men can take ad-vantage of long-lastin- g auto-mobile finishes, synthetic rub-ber tires, synthetic fishing lines and plastic lures, and wrinkle-proo- f suits. Intensive research now un-derway is expected to uncover additional thousands of new products for the future. Coal chemicals became a big factor in Utah's economy in 1944 when' the first coke oven was "pushed" at the newly-bui- lt Geneva Plant with its batteries of 252 coke ovens and coal chemical producing facil-ities. Geneva was later chosen as the site for a new nitrogen plant first of its kind to be located at a major American steel mill.

Filmed against a background of ammonium sulfate, Bonnie shows off nylon hosiery, miracle fabrics, paint, insect spray, plastic dishes, film, sulpha drugs, perfume, lipstick, toy automobile, hi-f- i record and aspirin. All of her clothing, including safety hard hot and plastic shoes, is made from chemicals derived from coal. A former secretary at Geneva Works an important producer of coal chemicals Bonnie is now the Vfife of W. I. McMorris, III, preparation plant engineer at Columbia-Genev- a Steel's new coal cleaning plant near Wellington, Utah. Hunting rules on safety outlined by SC As the hunting season ap-proaches, the Utah County Safety Committee today issued a reminder to sportsmen of the dangers of firearms. There were approximately 2,200 aeaths due to firearms accidents last year, the highest death rate being for boys and young men in the 1 to 24 age group. Guy Calla-han of the County Safety Com-mittee said that accidental dis-charge of guns around the home take more lives than do hunting accidents. These acci-dents occur mainly in prepar-ing to clean guns, in dropping or knocking s off racks when demonstrating an "un-loaded" firearm, or just an horseplay. "About one-thir- d of all fatal shootings occur in connection with hunting trips," said Mr. Callahan. The National Rifle Association says that the prin-cipal causes of accidents when the gun is fired are these: The victim moves into the line of fire without warning, is shot by an excited hunter firing quickly at game, is not seen by the shooter, is mistak-- en tor game. Principal causes of accidents when the gun is fired by mis-take are these: The hunter stumbles or falls,' the gun trig-ger catches in the brush, the gun discharges while the hunt-er is clubbing game or. cover, bumping or jolting the gun during removal from vehicle or boat, the gun falling from an insecure rest, the gun dischargr ing while the hunter crosses a fence carrying it with the muzzle toward him, horseplay with a gun thought to be load-ed, loading or unloading of gun. turns out anhydrous ammonia and ammonium nitrate for Utah and Intermountain area farmers, as well as nitric acid for western industry. Other important basic chem-icals produced at Geneva and Ironton include ammonium sul-fate, benzene, napthalene, to-luene, xylene, coal . tar, and coke oven gas, which is used as a fuel. They are shipped by rail and truck as raw materials for hundreds of manufacturers all over the western United States. Besides producing steel, Utah County's steelmakers being honored this week during Utah Valley Steelmark Days also have given new vigor to the western chemicals industry. The chains of habit are gen-erally too small to be felt till they are too strong to be bro-ken. Samuel Johnson. The unfoitunate thing about this-- world is that good habits are so much easier to get out of than bad ones. Somerset Maugham. Happiness is a perishable fruit, which must be vised each day, for it will not keep. E. L. Benedict. |
