Show HERALD ESTIMATES FROM CITIES OF UTAH INDICATE PROBABLY 30,000 VISITORS ON STEEL DAY The steel plant rapidly is getting to the point of its most efficient production. The chemical laboratory, destroyed by an explosion a few weeks ago, has been rebuilt, and is an exact reproduction of the one blown up. Chief Chemist Gordon Gor-don von Planck is installing new equipment to replace that lost in the explosion. A sight probably never to be seen at the steel plant again in future years will be the gigantic torch of surplus gas, ignited to prevent polution of the atmosphere. Millions of cubic feet of gas, more than used by Utah county domestic consumers in ten years, is shot high into the air every day. The flaming torch will be one of the most notable contributions contribu-tions to the evening's program. Later on, of course, when the steel plant and other industries can use this surplus gas the torch will be darkened. Iron now is poured every evening at about 9 o'clock. This in itself is worth an automobile trip past the steel plant, and is especially attractive when coming northward from Spring-ville. Spring-ville. At night the flaming sparks shooting broadcast in un counted millions gives the passerby a glimpse of a miniature Pittsbrugh-Youngstown. Were there nothing else to see, or do, all Steel Day, but for the thousands of visitors to await the coming of night and the flaming of the gas torch and the lightning sparks coming from the pouring iron, that alone would be worth the trip from Cedar City or Logan. |
