Nixon in urging public support of the American National Red Cross in Its annual observance. In a special proclamation re- leased earlier 'by the White House. Pres. Nixon said "To continue its mission, the American Red Cross Ber-imust rely upon us, the people of America, from whom it receives its sole support. In March the Red Cross will ask for our help. We . . owe it 10 our community ana our country to respond generously." According to Mrs. Robert Steele, Chairman of the West Millard Chapter of the Red Cross, a com- ibination of recent major disasters plus assistance to members of the Armed Forces and their families have brought financial resources of the national humanitarian organization or-ganization to ?.n all-time low. During the last fiscal year the Red Cross has spent in excess cf $48 million to maintain its program pro-gram of assistance to military personnel per-sonnel and their families both at home and overseas. In Its other programs of service to the community com-munity and the nation, Red Cross expenditures have exceeded $37 million. Some of these programs are Red Cross Youth, Safety Pro grams, Nursing, International Relations, Re-lations, Special Community projects pro-jects and the ope.-ation of tha Blood program through Red Cross Centers. In appealing to West Millard area residents to support the efforts ef-forts of the American Red Cross, Mrs. Steele says "This is your organization, or-ganization, it serves you and Is served by you. There is hardly a single home or family In this community com-munity that has not benefited in some way by its very existance. It can only continue to serve with the kind of continuing support you have always given It." Company, Stearns-Roger has added yet another type of plant to its list. One of the company's biggest challenges was the construction of a potash extraction plant from the Dead Sea waters In Israel. Mr. Fisher said that the plant Is under frequent bombardment by the Jordanians. He smiled when he related re-lated that after the latest bombardment bom-bardment the Denver office rs-ceived rs-ceived a two-word cablegram from the plant manager of the Dead Sea installation, "Missed Again." Mr. Fisher Explained that tho local Stearns-Roger project now has approximately 361 persons on the payroll. About a fourth of that numtoer are longtime residents of the area. The beryllium mill 1j scheduled for completion in midsummer, mid-summer, 1969. Asked to name some of the difficulties encountered on a job the size of the beryllium plant and larger, Mr. Fisher said that ordinarily the most difficult task is getting labor. But, he said, this was not the case at the Delta plant. The Stearns-Roger Company had an inconspicous beginning. It was founded near Denver in 1885 by T. B. Stearns, mining engineer. He formed a partnership with a young mechanical engineer, John Roger, and they leased a small shop In Leadville, Colo. In late 1888, the manufacturing operation was moved to Pueblo, Colo, where it remained until 1921 when a flood wiped out the plant. Operations were moved to Englewood, Colo, where the original plant still exists and is now occupied 'by an Iron works company. Stearns-"Roger is now located at 660 Bannock Street, Denver. Development of sugar beets as a major agricultural product during the early 1900's put Stearns-Roger Into the field of food processing. The firm pioneered the process technology and much of the equipment equip-ment for the industry. In 1908 the company designed and erected a plant at Garden City, Kan. A few years later, Mr. Stearns came to Delta and designed and engineered the construction of the Sugar Factory. Fac-tory. Part of the original buildings remain in use today. One large warehouse is occupied by the Northup Seed Co. and part of the original office buildings is being used as the home of the local American Legion Post. Mr. Stearns owned a ranch nearby and grew sugar beets for processing at the plant. He Is well remembered bv many local people. The Stearns-Roger Company is unique in that it practices the "team" concept from top to bottom. bot-tom. Another striking characteristic characteris-tic of the company is that It ! entirely owned by employees, a highly unusual feature in a company com-pany of this size. Stearns-Roger employs over 10,000 people annually. annual-ly. While in Delta, Mr. Fisher visited the ranch originally owned by Mr. Stearns. The land was one of the first pieces bought here by early settlers and included several hundred hun-dred acres. The ranch was operated oper-ated for Mr. Stearns for years by Fred Roe. Carl Theobald, Hinckley, operated the ranch from 1936 until after the end of World War II. Tho ranch is now owned by Roy Smith and operated by his son, Phillip. Some parcels have been sold of the original ranch. Mr. Fisher also visited the old sugar factory buildings while in Delta. He seemed impressed with the condition of the buildings and pleased to see the original fireplace still used at the Legion Post Home. He met Mrs. LaVell Johnson who furnished him with two oldtime pictures that will be used in the history of the Stearns-Roger Stearns-Roger Company.
