KENNECOTT MAPS MILLION DOLLAR EXPANSION PLAN A $1,000,000 expansion program at the electrolytic refinery of the Utah Copper Division of the Kcnnecott Copper Corp., at Gar-field will get under way soon, company officials said Friday. L. F. Pett, division general manager, said the expansion program would include an 80 by 203-fo- addition to the building and new machinery. The addition will be designed to produce vertical castings and "cakes". Mr. Pett said such cast ings go to fabricators producing copper tubing, pipe and wire. The refinery now produces cathode sheets, ingots and wire ' bars. Mr, Pett said production of vertical castings and "cakes" would give greater diversifica-tion of products and would meet the requirements of a number of fabricators. Construction of the new three- - bay unit is expected to get under way this year. Contracts will be awarded next week. O PUBLIC TO VIEW KENNECOTT CENTER ATI) Marking the 50th anniversary of Utah Copper Division of Kcnnecott Copper Corp., which was founded as Utah Copper Co., officers and directors will dedi-cate the new Kcnnecott Research Center at University of Utah dur-ing ceremonies at 10:30 a.m., August 13. The new $1,250,000 center will be thrown open to the public. Scientists and technicians will take visitors on tours of the building, laboratories and a small-scal- e pilot plant. The dedication will observe the day in August, 50 years ago, when an experimental mill at Copperton, near the mouth of Bingham Canyon, processed the first ore coming from the old Utah Copper mine. Soldiers sta-tioned at Ft. Douglas first found evidence of minerals in the Bing-ham area in 1863. After the new research center dedication, members of the Sons of Utah Pioneers will present a statue of Daniel C. Jackling, founder of Utah Copper, to the state of Utah. The day, August 14, will mark the 85th anniversary of the birth of the veteran mining engineer who developed the Utah Copper mine into one of "the greatest mining enterprises in world his-tory," in spite of the scoffs of many mining men of his era. The statue will be placed in the State Capitol rotunda by N. G. Morgan Sr. Dr. Avard Fair-banks, Utah sculptor, created the work. The public will be Invited to the ceremonies at the rotunda. Two other celebrations will be held in connection with the firm's golden anniversary in August. Annual field day for Utah Copper employes and their families will be held at Lagoon resort August 20. Bingham Canyon's "Galena Days" will see the community turned into an "early-da- y mining camp" . as residents celebrate August 26, 27. and 28.

He was admitted to the Utah Bar in 1937 and since that time has served as attorney for a number of governmental and piivate agencies. At present he is engaged in private practice and is serving as city attorney of Bingham. Be-fore entering the legal profession he taught school in Murray and Davis County. The candidate has been active in the GOP organization and is at present the legislative district (.haii'man for the Murray-Mid-val- e area and a member of the State Cential Committee.

BHS CLASS OF 1945 PLANS REUNION JULY 30 The Bingham High School graduating class of 1945 are plan-ning to hold an annual class re-union on Friday evening, July; 30th at 8.00 p.m. at AUrodo'a, 1726 West North Temple, Salt Lake City. Reservations are $2.50 per person and should be made by July 26th with Ruth McKel-la- r, Marjorie Pullan or DelMar Schick. All members of the class are invited to attend. SOCIAL SECURITY AIDE TO BE HERE TUESDAY Grant S. Williams, field repre-sentative of the Salt Lake Social Security office will be in Bing-ham at the City Hall at 11:00 am. on Tuesday, July 27, to conduct federal old-ag- e and survivors in-surance business. In announcing his visit, Mr. Williams said that anyone who reached age 65 before July 1, 1954, is eligible for retirement benefits if he has worked at least Vk years under social se-curity. This one and one-hal- f years work need not be continu-ous and can have been worked at any time since 1936, he said. Mr. Williams stated that those who will be 65 after June 30, 1954, need more than one and one-ha- lf years work to be elig-ible for retirement benefits. The required period of employment varies with the worker's age. The minimum work requirement is one and one-hal- f years and the maximum is ten years. However, even though a worker puts in his required time he still must pay the social security tax as long as he works. While benefits will be paid if the work requirement is met, the amount of the benefits depends on his total earnings, Mr. Williams said. Local residents who have pass-ed age 65 and who are earning wages of less than $75 a month are urged to contact Mr.Williams and make application for their retirement benefits. Sports Here and There by Al Ablett The Jordan School Board has picked a successor to Sandy for the Bingham coaching job in the person of DelMar Schick, and a better choice couldn't have been made. I think that as big as the shoe is that he will have to fit, Del is the boy to do it. Sure there will be those that will say that he doesn't have the experience to fill the job. But they couldn't have gone out and got a man that has the confidence of the kids that Del has, and he has worked under Sandy long enough to know what it takes to win. And I am sure that they have picked a man that will do noth-ing that will reflect on his tutor. Bingham has been indeed for-tunate in their choice of men that have had a part in building the character o fher boys, and in the case of Del, I think they have picked another winner. The Jun-ior high school job hasn't been filled as yet but they have a number of good men to pick from, so I am sure they will come up with the right one. The American Legion team has gone on a trip through Montana. They play four games on the trip. This will be wonderful ex-- i perience for the kids and they will come back ready to play the Salt Lake entry for the right to go to the state tournament. The state meet is being held in Smith-fiel- d again this year. The Nevada State tournament is being held at Meumthis year startlng on the 28th of July. Charlie Bates and myself have been picked to umpire. The local entry in the North-west league won the first half and have a good start in the sec-ond half. Boy isn't that a donnybroom in the American League. The Yankees have been going like mad winning 32 of their last 40 and they still haven't been able to take the lead away from the Indians. This is one year that Cleveland hasn't shown any signs of folding. In spite of losing key men like Rosen and Avilla for a number of games they keep on winning. There big three pitch-ing has been getting some real help this year. Narleski, Houtte-ma- n and the one and only Bob Feller have been shipping in well pitched games. Bullet Bob has a seven and one record at this writ ing and he is due to go today, Thursday. Bob has reached the first ten in all time wins and one must remember that he was in the navy four years that came in the prime of his pitching life. Only two men have more strike-outs than the fabulous Iowa farm boy Walter Johnson and Young. Give Bob those four years and he would have been out in front all by himself. The last time Eddie Montague, the great Giant scout was here he was telling us about Bob Grove and comoaring the fast balls of the various speed mer-chants, Johnson, Feller and Grove and he told us of one time when Grove, pitching against his Clev-eland club threw 18 straight strikes before a man got even as much as a foul ball and that Fel-ler was on given days just as fast. The one thing that has elud-ed Feller is a World Series win and I am pulling that he gets an-other chance this year. The White Sox is the other team that will be in the thick of the fight right down to the wire, so hold your hats fans and come October we will see who will play the Giants. Back to the fight game in Utah. It seems that it has taken on new life. Marv Jenson put on a show at West Jordan that was a dandy from a financial standpoint at least. They drew over four thous-and fans and along comes Tom-my Martin last Monday at the fairgrounds with the best card seen in Utah in many a day and it drew almost three thousand. So you can see if this keeps up the fans in Utah that have suf-fered for so long might A long last be able to see some good cards. They have another on tap at West Jordan for July 29 that has all the earmarks of a great scrap. Gene Fullmer goes again and this alone tells you that it will be a fight. So if you haven't planned to take it in you better do so. AL RECREATION ACTIVITIES Bingham Summer Playground With everyone about to go on vacation, summer school has been working on the dance pro-gram as much as possible before everyone leaves on their vaca-tion.

TENNIS -- "J by Jim Carrigan Last week we ran off the mens tournament and there really were some terrific matches. After a week of tough matches and stiff arms and backs, Grant Pullan was crowned champion. On Monday of this week we began our girls tourney. We had a turnout of 16 girls which was just right to conduct a w tournament. We really had some great matches. The competition ran all through the week with the championship match between Jackie Hall and Eleanor Marko-vic- h to be held today, Friday, at one o'clock on the Copperton courts. I have been told that the Gem-me- ll Club will conduct a tourna-ment in the middle of August which will really be a swell one with quite a few divisions, one to suit every player, boys and girls. BJ).A.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp BDAA WINS FIRST TWO; PLAY MAGNA HERE SUNDAY The local BDAA baseball nina, first half champs, kept up their winning ways in the Northwest circuit by blasting out identical wins over Layton and Morgan 14 to 4. Last Sunday the Bingham crew downed Layton at Layton to start second half play, and Wed-nesday night at Copperton they coasted to an easy victory over Morgan. Kenny Austin was the winner at Layton, with the three outfielders Dow, Wegkamp and Crump doing the hitting. Wednesday night, Warren Sum nicht held the visitors scoreless until the seventh frame, when Kent Murdock connected for an inside the park home run. Mor-- ! gan chased across three more in j the eighth, but were retired in order in the final stanza to give Sumr.icht the win. Bob Sanchez! was the BDAA hitting star, clouting the locals' initial run in the second inning with a line drive homer over right center field fence, and winding up with a perfect four for four. Dow blasted a triple and double to add to Bingham's power attack. PLAY MAGNA SUNDAY Bingham will play host to Magna at the Copperton park this Sunday in an afternoon game at 2:30 p.m. Magna has al-so won both of its' first two gam-es, defeating Layton and Mid-val- e and this one should be the usual thriller between these neighboring clubs. Manager Babcock has sched-uled another practice game Doc Johnson's of Draper at Draper for this Saturday at 2:00 p.m. Three more fine prizes were given away at the Morgan-Bingha- m game, and we will have more to give some lucky fans at the rest of our home games. Bingham merchants donating prizes for the last game were the Carr Fork Bar, Tim Ablett's Ser-vice in Copperton and the Bing-ham Grocery. We hope you pat-ronize these businesses, as they are all trying to help us make baseball a bit more interesting for you fans. Don't miss this Sunday's game, it should be a very good one.
