The four-mont- h furnace re-build will boost ironmaking capacity by adding 12 feet to the unit's height and 18 inches to the hearth diameter. The furnace already is more than 200 feet high nearly as tall as a building. Three stoves that supply preheated air to the furnace were enlarged and relined last fall increasing their over-al- l height by some 40 feit to a new elevation of about 169 feet above ground level, officials said.

Monday fires damage cafe, hum hay, barn While a majority of the fires to which the Springville department has been called this month have been grass fies, resulting in little or no damage, two blazes Monday forenoon, were more danger-ous. When hot grease caught fire at 6:30 a.m., shortly after opening at LeMars cafe, a blaze shot to the ceiling and did some damage to the roof of the building. Lamar Miner, manager, estimated the total damage at approximately $750 resulting mostly from smoke. A few hours after the cafe fire at about 11 a.m., the de-partment was called to 6th East 9th South, where a barn belonging to Jimmie Hatfield, filled with between seven and eight tons of baled hay, was burning. Children and matches were believed responsible for the fire which burned most of the hay but firemen succeeded in saving the barn which was partially damaged.

Plant breeder gets melon without seeds Watermelons without seeds are one of the latest triumphs of plant breeders over Mother Nature, reports the National Live Stock Producer. If watermelons are allowed to grow as nature intended they will carry 11 pairs of in each cell 22 sin-gles. That was before Dr. O. J. Eigsti found that colchicine would double the chomosome count in plants. Learning of Dr. Eigsti's dis-covery, Professor H. Kihara of Japan's National Institute of Genetics perfected the method of producing triploid plants. And viola seedless watermel-ons. . If you plant seedles water-melon seeds they grow and flower but bear no fruit be-cause they can't divide the chomosomes evenly. An ordin-ary (diploid) watermelon is planted alongside, and this urn. duces pollen for the triploid plant and stimulates melon tis-sue to grow, the magazine ex-plains. These seedless watermelons grow better, are more resistant to disease; and thrive where other watermelons fail. Their sturdiness is from hybrid vigor and from the fact that no en-ergy is used in producing seeds.

As the first half of 1963 came to a close, total construction in Utah reached $9.7.9 million, a 12 percent increase over the $87.7 million recorded for the first half of 1962. These fig-ures were released by the Bureau of Economic and Busi-ness Research at the university of Utah. June was the sixth consecutive month of 1963 that the cumulative valuation of total construction for the state of Utah exceeded the amount recorded for the com-parable period of 1962. The figures further show a 15 perecnt increase in the number of new dwellings start-ed during the first six months of 1963 over the number start-ed during the comparable per-iod of 1962. There were 4,974 new dwelling units, valued in excess of $55 million, started during this period 635 more than the number started dur-ing the first six months of 1962. construc-tion (excluding public works and utilities) started during this six-mon- th period of 1963 exceeded $35 million, a 20 per cent increase over construction started dur-ing the same period of 1962.

Government employees in Utah number one in four workers Utah has a larger propor-tion of its population employ-ed by government than any other state in the continental United States, according to a report just released by Utah Foundation, the private gov-ernmental research organiza-tion. Only.'Alaska has a higher percentage of governmental employees. The Foundation report shows that in October 1962, approxi-mately 7.5 of Utah's total population was working for some governmental agency Federal, state, or local. This rate was half again as large as the national average of 5.0. The report notes that edu-cation is the state and local government activity requiring the largest number of employ-ees in Utah. Last October a total of 20,210 persons (full-tim- e equivalent), or 60 of the total Utah state and local government work force, were employed in public education. Of this number, approximately 15,000 were employed in the local schools and 5,000 in the (Continued on Page 2, Col. 4) mtnn the Art Gallery dav . . vvere opened Tues-th- o . and also th09 of as thnk8 courts- - Inasmuch over Were considerably Do hj'le original estimates, The ci tiinS was made, ii a k Foundation will "din annuncement th" lH.n,rfUrther study of win L C0Urt bids likewise i CcJr1 and p,ans Slce. frm J Scheduled Thursday (tonight) Kiwanis, 7 p.m. at Kelly's Grove.
