Schramm, State Savings Bonds Director, to Henry J. Riggert, volunteer bends chairman for Salt Lake County. February sales reported for Salt Lake County were $700,865, total to bringing the $1,536,275, or 17.2 per cent of the 1966 goal, Chairman Riggert two-mon- th said.

All outstanding E bonds going back to 1941, as well as those purchased from December 1 on, will benefit from the new 4.15 percent rate, the chairman noted. Unmatured E bonds will be worth more than their face value at maturity; those now in their first and second extension periods will earn the new rate starting December 1. These increased values will show up in ihe May 1966 redemption value tables. Insurance Official To Lead Utah Cancer Crusade Ralph J. Hill, Salt Lake City The new rate also applies to Series H bonds effective December 1, and owners of these bonds will receive higher interest checks beginning June 1. It was also pointed out that State income tax returns should not include as income interest derived from cashing E bonds nor interest checks received on H bonds. However, such interest must be reported in Federal income tax returns. insurance executive, will lead an army of 12,000 volunteers in the annual Crusade conducted next month by The American Cancer Society. His appointment as 1966 Crusade chairman was announced by Walter M. Jones, president of the ACS Utah Division. April has been designated as Cancer Control Month in Utah by a proclamation of Governor Calvin L. Rampton, who urged a generous response by Utah citizens to help eradicate one of the greatest scourges of man- kind. Cancer will strike one in every four persons now living, Mr. Hill said. Of those afflicted, two out of three will die of the disease. This terrible toll could be reduced to 50 percent of those afflicted if people would heed the early warning signs of can- cer and obtain proper treatment. One of the best safeguards against cancer is a regular physat least once a ical checkup Mr. Hill said. year During the month of April, cancer volunteers will call on every home in Utah to distribute facts leaflets with about cancer, including a list of the seven danger signals. At the same time, voluntary contributions will be sought to help carry on the vast research, education and service programs of the American Cancer Society. life-savi- ng Kennecotts old precipitation plant at the entrance to Bingham Canyon will be supplemented this year This model represents the new look in precipitation plants being built by Kennecott to recover copper from mine dump water at Bingham. by a new $20,000,000 plant. The Watered - Down Copper Story The old art of recovering copper from mine dump water and scrap iron will be come an exact science when Kennecott completes its new $20,000,000 precipitation plant near the Bingham Canyon mine. About all that will remain of the old plant will be the chemical principle 26 specially designed precipitator cones. Instead of dumping scrap iron into troughs, it will he fed automatically into the top of the cones. Meantime, the mine water solution will be forced, under pressure, from the bottom of the cone and will be swirled through the scrap iron. that changes scrap The result will be the treating of more material in less into copper: When treated mine water flows into long troughs I time with greater recovery of copper. This will make it pos- sible for Kennecott to compete more successfully in the world-wid- e copper ket by increasing its precipitate copper pro-ha- s duction from 2,250 to 6,000 tons per month.
