This year's sale will feature not only bargains at the various stores but a free movie for the kids and the Shriner clowns. Local business houses will place much of their merchandise on the sidewalks and in parking lots with special price tags for customers. Its a promotional event that has proven popular in past years. We want to make this an outstanding sales event and invite all area residents to take part, Bill Hall, president of the Brigham City Retail Merchants association, stated this week. The free movie will be shown at Summer grass blazes keep volunteer firemen on run Grass fires on vacant lots in Brigham City are becoming an expensive headache for city firemen. Firemen responded to four fires on lots the past four days, including two on Tuesday. One lot has caught fire on three separate occasions, reports fire Chief Tuff Claybaugh. A grassfire at Ninth East and First North called firemen about noon Tuesday. d Claybaugh said a alley not cleared of weeds and debris caught fire from an unknown source and took about 15 minutes to put out. , Another fire was reported at 10:20 a.m. at 127 South Sixth East. Claybaugh said firemen spent about 15 minutes putting out that grass fire. And on Sunday, another grass fire of unknown cause was reported at 11:10 a.m. city-owne- the Capitol theatre Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. It is Rio Lobo. And the clowns will be circulating throughout the business district, doing the things that make theni a favorite with old and young alike, Hall said. Come and join us.

Chief One day in the future, motorists can stop asking: When will Interstate-1- 5 between Hot Springs and Brigham City be completed? Because it will be done and open to traffic. stretch will Hopefully, the 12.06-mil- e accomodate its first public traffic this fall. At least this is what the contractor. Parson Asphalt Products, is aiming for. And for which the state is hoping. Jeff Gillespie, project superintendent, this week said the two northbound lanes of traffic should be completed Friday. The, men and equipment will turn around and start back the other way on the opposing lanes. Right now theyre approaching the cites expense About 25 minutes were spent controlling it out, said Claybaugh. A fire at a vacant lot at 461 North Second ,East, the third at the lot this summer, finally burned off all vegetation before firemen contained it Saturday.

Eleventh South interchange in southwest Brigham City, having begun laying concrete on the roadway June 7 at Hot Springs. Gillespie said theyre aiming to arrive back at Hot Springs about Aug. 13, thus completing the roadway surface. They11 then turn to other concrete work ramps for interchanges at Hot Spring, Willard and Eleventh South. The concrete work should all be done by Sept, 8 or 7, the superintendent said. At the same time, the local contractor has responsibility under the 58,948,263 contract to construct a rest stop for northbound traffic north of the Perry cannery road, and a weigh station west of the KOA camp ground in south Perry. The rest area will have picnic shelters, tables and restrooms with water and sewer service from the city of Perry. The weigh station will function for traffic bound in both directions. It will be manned on the west side and operate by remote control on the other side. Work was scheduled to begin Wednesday on construction of an additional two lanes for the Eleventh South access road between Mainid street and the interchange. this will include a three-inc- h Gillespie-saoverlay on all lanes and will create two lanes for each direction. Hie use of concrete rather than asphalt for rural stretches of interstate highway is a relatively new practice. It has evolved from the climbing cost of asphalt plus the lesser maintenance required for concrete. The project chief noted that on the Hot Springs-BrighaCity segment, concrete is being laid 38 feet wide. This eliminates the need for asphalt shoulders which generally supplement concrete roadway m surfaces. To accomplish this, a sophisticated piece of equipment known as a slip form is being used. It is one of only two in existence that can handle a roadway this wide. Trucks dump concrete ahead of the unit roadwhich molds it into a way and lays reinforcing steel at the same time. No forms are used. Gillespie said the slip form moves at about five feet per minute but could travel twice that fast if sufficient concrete were supplied. .A tube machine follows closely behind, leveling and finishing the surface. And not so far behind that comes a unit which applies a sealer to help the concrete cure out. It all beats the old cement mixer and wheel barrow by a wide margin. The concrete currently is being mixed near the Willard interchange and transa ported to end of road by 18 trucks distance of about three miles Tuesday. It will grow to five miles by the time they reach Eleventh South. Some 33 men are engaged on the pavin work but the project has some 120 persons busily working on various facets, includin activity on the rest area, preliminary wo for the ramps, and laying cement tree base in advance of the paving. road-spanni- Gillespie said some 550,000 square yards of concrete will be used on the project. Overpasses are located at Hot Springs, Nerva lane in south Willard, the Perry Cannery road, Willard and Eleventh South. Luke Mildon is project engineer for the Utah Department of Transportation.

Addod manpower needs foreseen Tflfoiokol Thiokol corporations Wasatch division has been awarded a $20 million subcontract by , The Boeing company to qualify for production of longer life motors for the Air Forces short range attack missile (SRAM). Announcement of the award was made by A.L. Savoca, Thiokol vice president and Wasatch division general manager. Under terms of the contract, the northern Utah firm will produce a total of 59 motors over a period. The motors, to be used for development, qualification and flight testing, will contain propellant developed by Thiokol to provide longer shelf life for SRAM missiles in the Air Force weapons inventory. SRAM is carried by 1 and 2 bombers and propsed for the l bomber.

The work was carried out under subcontract to The Boeing company, Seattle, Wash., prime contractor for SRAM to the Air Force Aeronautical division, Systems cepiuires Wright-Patterso- AFB, Ohio. n No Configuration Changes No configuration changes were involved in the propellant activity, according to BD. Nance, Thiokols SRAM program manager. The formulation of the new propellant was tailored to replace the earlier one without affecting the motors ballistic performance in any way. Our only task was to develop a propellant which would provide extended shelf life beyond that expected with the original formulation, he said. The SRAM missile does the job for which it was designed exceptionally well, so there was no reason to change its performance characteristics in any way. Included in motors to be produced under the new contract will be three ballistic evaluation, 15 development, 39 qualification, and two flight test units. Additional Manpower Needs Savoca noted that about 200 Wasatqh personnel will work on the new program, with additional manpower needs foreseen pcf when the division has successfully qualified to produce the new longer life motors. Some of the assembly and finishing work formerly conducted by Boeing at Air Force Plant 77, Hill AFB, would be carried out at Wasatch division. The program will be divided into component development, development, and qualification phases. During the component development phase, the new propellant and associated compatible components will be incorporated into the SRAM motor. During the development phase, all materals will be demonstrated in the e motor and motors will be dissected at Hill AFB, Utah to obtain laboratory samples for testing. Test motors will be statically and five-scal- dynamically tested under all en- vironmental extremes to prove their capability to perform under adverse conditions. The qualification phase will involve building of 39 motors under production conditions. They will be tested following (Continued on Page Three) |
