Hercules hot business from the cold war era KIM FOLSOM Magna Times Assistant Editor In the 1950s, Hercules entered into the aerospace industry, mainly to fulfill government defense contracts. The cold war period was not good for relations, but it did give a boost to aerospace with the growing need for defensive and offensive missies. The 1950s were a time of fear and we built up our nuclear arsenal to combat that fear. Today these weapons are still being made for our defense, although we are reducing our nuclear stockpiles. The emphasis is still on more efficient and effective missiles because they are not only the best thing for our defense but r'r also'the best bargaining chips at the ' negotiation table. Technology has always been one of East-We- st the United States greatest allies. Hercules has been integral for 25 years in the development of that technology. And, a number of products and procedures have benefited the peaceful commercial use, as well as the strategic part of Hercules business. The strategic area includes a number of Hercules products. Graphite is used in the bodies and components of aircraft, missiles, and in rocket motors. Hercules is a leader in the production of solid fuel rocket boosters. Over 120,000 actively deployed strategic and tactical motors have been produced by Hercules. The first major missile contract for Hercules was die Minuteman Missile, which was considered one of the most versatile defense missies. The Minuteman was followed by the Pershing n, the Polaris, the Poseidon, the Trident, the Peacekeeper, and the Trident II missle system. Currendy, Hercules is producing rocket booster motors for the Peacekeeper and die Tri- dent n. -- Hercules does not produce nuclear warheads. The only dangerous material that they produce is the solid rocket fuel itself and safety is the major factor in its production. The most critical time in the production of die solid rocket fuel is in the mixing stage. Recendy, Hercules had one of their mixing buildings explode and catch fire. The accident was actually proof of Hercules diligent safety procedures. No life was lost, and dairiage, although cosdy, was contained to the building and most Magna residents slept through the incident.

Propellants operate from -- 70 degrees to 165 degrees. The propellants for the Trident II series are produced at die Bacchus West Plant which is state of the art in its design.

Yancey. The reduced rate from $.49 to $.42, per $100 coverage per year, is the first rate reduction since 1983, and savings for represents a 15 consumers. As mentioned by Commissioner Yancey in a public hearing held August 30, 1989, the Insurance Code has given me the responsibility of setting rates in only two areas of insurance, workers compensation and credit insurance. These rates are set only after credible date regarding losses is received from all major writers in the state. A public hearing was held to discuss the proposed reduction. It was attended by representatives from several national insurance companies, local associations representing credit unions, banks, auto dealers, and financial in with cedures be handled remotely robotics. iImjikwimi- - stitutions, and insurance agencies. The state insurance law requires a minimum loss ration of 50 . It is anticipated that a decrease in the credit life rate will cause a gradual increase in the statewide loss ration over the next several years to more nearly conform to the minimum loss ration requirement, reported RoseMarie Parkinson of the Insurance Department. Conservatism has been built into the decision to reduce the rate. iieiilt to to Florida with fall we plan Developmental School Day r QThisfamily. How can we minimize the effects of motion sickness for ourselves and our children? Chances are your children will be most vul-- a nerable to motion sickness; infants and adults are less susceptible, but there are things all of you can do to avoid motion sickness. First of all, dont travel on an empty stomach. Eat whatever you would usually eat before setting out. Take simple, easily digestible snacks, such as apples and crackers. Dont drink alcoholic beverages before and during your trip. Keep any children under age 4 in a carseat or booster seat. This helps prevent them from feeling sick by reducing their body motion and giving them a view out the window. Be sure to stop often and get some fresh air and exercise. Stopping to go for a walk is often more helpful than sitting in a restaurant. You may also want to take an medication, such as Dramamine, with you when you are traveling.
