Show THE PAYSON CHRONICLE Geneva gets new equipment 9 Thursday, December 17, 1970 High efficiency record set The competitive stance of Geneva Works in the Western steel market has been strengthened with the completion of improvements to the large diameter pipe Pouring molten steel from a 350-to- n ladle into ingot molds is not only a job of a massive operation, but also one which requires more than just the act of pouring. Geneva Works Open Hearth pouring crews, during a recent seven-da- y period, experienced only one defective poured ingot in 2,670. Outstanding, yes. Genevas pit crews consistently attain high efficiency pouring records through Errors Zero workmanship. One reason for the good showing, according to Glen Rhodes, general foreman, pit operations - Open Hearth Division, is the desire of the crews to perform to higli standards. Some of the guys have been pouring steel for 26 years and are proud of their accomplishments. However, its a team effort including the pouring crews, ladle lining and stopper crews, furnace crews, ladle cranemen, metallurgists, ceramic engineers, mold preparation and maintenance crews. Theres more to pouring or teeming than just filling the ingot molds. How it is done is important to prevent a substandard quality ingot. Splashing inside the mold can form scabs which can cause defects on the rolled steel products. Timing is important for adding necessary elements to produce and insure proper steel qualities. Pouring at higher steel temperatures may cause ingot cracking; therefore, every effort is made to control temperatures of steel throughout the operation. These are but a few of the intricacies of pouring ingots in steelmaking. Confronted with some of the toughest competition in the business by both foreign and null. Ttie four new outside seam and five inside seam welders were designed, constructed and installed for the most part by Geneva people. The new equipment, which replaces the submerged arc, longitudinal seam welders, is similar in new principle but provides a more stable mechanical and electrical operation, resulting in improved pipe welds. downtime for Following a the installation of the new machines, the mill is now producing an order of 34 O.D. pipe for Pacific Lighting Service Company of California. With the present availability of very low cost overseas pipe we have to be the low cost producers domestically to stay alive, says H.A. Huisli, Pipe Mills Division superintendent. We must, he continues, offer service and quality second to none with The new equipment is a great assist in our ability to compete, adds Huish, "but the primary responsibility still lies with our people in offering the best pipe and service available anywhere.

I hope have no bad side effects from the experience; I have never considered myself an authority in the Deep Thought Department. I read an article recently and also spoke with a friend who carries some power as he moves about expressing his views and both the article and my friend promulgated the idea that when a problem child is raked in by the authorities for running away from home, smoking pot, window peeping etc. etc. One can trace his trouble back to the kids early home life; his poor old mom and dad have to take the blame for I Utah travel Not only did more people come tolltah this summer, but they stayed longer and each spent more money, according to Lee Jorgensen, Director of the Utah Travel Council. lf J orgensen said that there were over motor vehmillion more icle travelers in Utah during the summer than in the previous summer. travelNearly 3.9 million ers saw the state, this summer, and they spant about $50 million, he stated. Each person spent $12.91 during his stay in Utah, which lasted 1.3 days, as compared to an average expenditure of $11. 78 and 1.2 days during the same period last year. Jorgensen stated that this is still one of our problem areas getting people to stay longer.

Davis Evans neglectful activities performed when the kid was very young. So they amble their offspring off to a head doctor, costing from $25 to $50 per visit and are told what they did wrong in the rearing of their child. I wonder what Adam and Eve did wrong in the rearing of their first born, Cain. As I understand, he was the third person on earth and he turned out to be the worst juvenile delinquent of all time. Can you imagine the heart ache of Adam and Eve in the worriment over that kid and they had no doctor to which they could take him. I imagine Isaac and his wife were good parents but they certainly had a problem with that Esau. David had a son, Absolum, who would have given a great deal to have killed his Old Man, and he probably would have done it if he hadnt caught his neck in those tree limbs and destroyed himself. Then we can shift to the Book of Mormon to Lehi and his good wife; they had no easy time with their two eldest sons. I imagine they shed a bucket of tears because of the activities of Laman and Lemuel; they lost two sons out of five. I wonder what they did wrong in the rearing of those boys.' If youre a student of the Book of Mormon, you may recall Alma the first, who had a son named Alma. The kid was a real goer. If God hadnt given him a good shaking up, he could have run Cain some competition as the number one juvenile Central Bank's Attractive New Building includes con- venient Drive Up Windows and Walk Up Windows.
