Smelter Boasts Super Old-Time- rs Club Any statement that this is a young man's world can be successfully challenged by the International Smelting & Refining Company plant at Tooele, where an employee with less than 20 years of service falls into Originally designed to handle copper ore from Bingham, the plant started smelting lead ores in 1911 and producing zinc, in the form of concentrates from selective flota-tion, in 1934. Today, copper pro-duction is a secondary operation, and the plant turns out monthly eight to nine million pounds of lead bullion and 4,600,000 pounds of zinc in the form of zinc concentrate. Slag Processed In 1941 the company started to recover zinc from lead blast fur-nace slag. Some 400,000 tons of dump slag have been processed since that date, in addition to all slag currently Droduced. tne "jonnny come lately category. According to T. K. Voyer, plant personnel head, International is well above the average as far as employees with long service is con-cerned. Of a total of 579 regular employees, 37, or 211, have been with the company for 20 years or more; 28, or 163, have 25 years of service; 13, or 77, started with International 30 years ago and 4, or 22, go back 40 years or more. Statistical Figure To make the statistical picture even more impressive, nine em-ployees started in 1910 with Inter-national even before the plant was first operated, as a copper smelter. Dean of the old timers is Hugh J. Gowans. head assaver. who was International takes pride In its safety record, which Mr. Voyer at-tributes in part to the good exam-ple set by the old timers. In 1950 the company received the Joseph H. Holmes Safety Assn. award for progressive decline in accident rate. Over a 10 year period the rate had dropped from 43.875 accidents per million man hours worked, to 7.875 accidents. The figure for 1951 ia about the same as for 1950. Unusual Record In summing- - up the reasons for International's unusual employee record, Mr. Voyer said: "It'i hard to put your finger on the reason, but 1 guess you can trace it all to the fact International is a good place to work and Tooele a good place in which to live. As a result, they stay with us. Fifty-fiv- e per cent of our men own their own homes and 68 fathers have sons who are fellow employees. Our men consider this a permanent job." a member of the original surveying party that laid the groundwork for construction in 1908 when the plant was still in the blueprint stage. Mr. Voyer is enthusiastic over the work records of International's long-tim- e employees. A "new-comer" himself, with just 15 years of service, Mr. Voyer believes the older men maintain a high degree of efficiency, show outstanding de-pendability and are tops in under-standing of a job that comes largely from years of experience. ar Man General superintendent of the Tooele plant is Carlos Bardwell, a 39-ye- ar man who started with In-ternational the day after he was graduated from the University of Utah.

In the spring she would put it up on planks she called an ash hopper, and we children would carry water from the creek and pour in the ashes to make lye. She took the lie and boiled it with grease, and sometimes would put potash balls in to make the lye stronger. She would make a big barrel of soft soap to wash our clothes in.
