The 'report will be made by none other than L. B. Worthington, president of the Columbia Geneva Division, at a public meeting soonsored bv the Provo Chamber of Commerce to which some 400 leading citizens and farmers willi be invited. Scheduled for the"- evening of Nov. 6 at the Wasatch School, the affair is billed as the first annual Agriculture-Industry Banquet with plans to hold it yearly under C. of C. sponsorship to bring agriculture and industry inrthe valley together for a mutual discussion of their problems. It is believed greater understanding of each other's problems will thus be " " I s 4 - SPEAKER -- president Worth- ington will reveal publicly for the first time the full story of Geneva's program carried out over the past seven years to solve a problem which has cost U. S. Steel nearly $15 million and. caus- ea serious aisrupuon oi tne aairy and cattle inrinstrv in some areas of Utah County. "We are aware that U. S. Steel haS been unable to make public many details of the effort to eliminate the fluorine problem at Geneva until a series of longstanding suits by a group of farmers from Wasatch, Salt Lake, and Utah counties had been settled in court," Max C. Elliott, president of the Provo Chamber, The vexing fluorine problem developed chiefly from Geneva open hearths, causing severe damage to cattle who ate forage from fluorine polluted areas in the county. Geneva settled virtually all of the Utah County damages out of court and it is known the firm paid out between $4 and settle$5 million in ments to about 600 Utah County farmers between Lehi and Spring-vill- e over a period of years. Three hundred and five other farmers, most of them from Salt Lake and Wasatch Counties and a few from Utah County, took their battle to the federal court in Salt Lake City and these cases were recently settled with award of only a few thousand dollars damages in what was considered a sweeping victory for U. S. Steel. In his decision on the cases, out-of-co- urt achieved. It is expected that Mr. Ban- y quet was initiated this year by the Provo Chamber of Commerce to give members of both areas of the Utah County economy an opportunity to discuss problems of mutual concern." ar ; Agriculture-Industr- of L. B. Worthington, Columbia-Genev- a Division of U. S. Steel, who will address a meeting of farmers and other Utah County citizens Nov. 6 on Geneva's program to correct the fluorine problem. said Saturday "Now that these suits are finally over, we feel this is an appropriate time to invite Mr. Worthington to Provo to tell us about the progress that has been made in this direction. "Invitations to attend the Agriculture-Industry Banquet will go out to Utah County civic officials, agricultural leaders, businessmen, educators, and representatives from local industries. Federal Judge Willis W. Ritter revealed publicly for the first time that Geneva has spent nearly $9 million on research and preventative equipment to correct the problem. The plaintiffs in the 305 cases sought a new trial which was denied. They still have the power of appeal to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver if they wish to do so. They have not thus far indicated their intentions. Unemployment Up in Seasonal Trend, But General Utah County Business Outlook Good Despite an expected seasonal in- month for Utah County and busicrease in unemployment, ness on the, retail trade level is continued to be a good business expected to increase until Christmas. As for the general business out- Rotary Meeting look: Freedom Is Not Free, Says General "As long as free men respond to the call of freedom, so long will independence survive," Major General Maxwell Rich, commander of the Utah National Guard, told Provo Rotarians Friday. Describing the National Guard as a patriotic organization as well as a military one, General Rich urged his audience to assist educators in teaching youth constantly that freedom is not free. The nation must live it, love it, work for it, and often fight for it. Hp stated that in any future wars, there would not be time f or a build-u- p of strength. This requires a strong nation to maintain a state of preparedness in materials and manpower. General Rich stated that there were about 5000 National Guard units in some 2500 cities and towns throughout the U. S., all of which are combat omits. Utah has 60 army and five air units distributed in 27 cities in this state. The federal expenditure for this purpose in Utah is approximately $6 million dollars per year. He stated that Utah units of the Guard have fought in every war since the Mormon Battalion participated in the Mexican War. He commented that in the Korean tiattles there were no lives lost among the Utah units of the National Guard although many men served in that campaign. The speaker was introduced by Richard Wiseman, program chairman for Rotary for October. The meeting, which was held in the National Guard Armory, was conducted by, President Dave Bees-leRay Beckham introduced the some lovely special guests Homecoming Day royalty and their escort, Dave Farr. Presented were Queen Diane Stevenson, and her attendants Lena Davis and Vicki Durrant. Other guests included Merrill Oveson, Stanley Jenkins, Dwight Packard, Dr. Eugene Dalton, Bill Smith, Norman Williams and Harry The excellent luncheon was prepared by Col. Ray Cox and his fine staff. j "Business at the retail trade level is expected to be on the increase (at least) until Christmas. Other business which is subject to adverse weather conditions and other seasonal influences will begin to decline presently and can be expected to continue, on somewhat of a decline, through the winter. This trend in economic activity is normal for this season of the year and no serious business down-tur- n is seen at the present." These are highlights of the monthly Utah County Labor Mar ket Bulletin released Saturday by the Provo office, Utah State Department of Employment Security. The bulletin is released by Jennings M. Lee, Provo office manager. Total Jobs Up Although unemployment is up slightly over last month, total employment is still higher, the report noted. It listed 1420 unemployed in the county during October compared with 1250 in September and 1320 for October of last year. Total employment in the county however stands at 37,415 for October against 37,340 for September and 36,658 for October a year ago. The increase in unemployment, expected as a seasonal factor "is due both to declining employment and to the movement of student workers into the county. The food processing and other manufacturing is the area where most unemployment is occurring," the report noted.

The hearing will be held in the House of Representatives' chamber in the Utah Capitol building starting at 9 a.m. . Road commission officials differed over whether such a hearing could effect a change in the route. State Road Director Ellis Armstrong has said the proposed route is the only one that can be "justified by the Defense Department." And Gov. George D. Clyde said Utah apparently has no choice but to accept the route or retate highway ceive no Utah. eastern through The road commission previously had urged a route from Denver to Spanish Fork. Demanff Hearing Meanwhile, the acting chairman of the Utah County Interstate Highway Committee asserted his group had to demand a public hearing on the proposed Denver-Cov- e Fort interstate highway before the Utah Road Comission decided to hold a hearing. But Road Commission Chairman C. Taylor Burton denied the charge. He said the commission decided to hold a hearing because groups from throughout the state not just Utah County had asked to be heard on the matter. Road commissioners decided Friday to hold a hearing as soon as all interested parties can be contacted to determine a suitable date for the hearing. Meanwhile, the Salt Lake County Highway Assn. and Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce Highway recommended the road com mission not approve the Cove Fort route "until a complete analysis of the project is made."
