The lights were officially turned! on and Santa greeted the children on Pleasant Grove Main Street, and passed out candy. An added feature to the start of the Christmas season last Saturday was the rides furnish-ed the kids on an old fashion-ed sleigh in the campus area east of P.G. Main Street, and Santa helped them on and off and rode with them . This week pink tickets have been passed out by the mer-chants in the area, and by fill-ing in your name and address, you can have a chance at the $200 in silver dollars to be giv-en away this week and next. In addition some 40 turkeys will be given away, about half on each drawing. Total value of the drawing should reach in the neighborhood of $500 accor-ding to Craig and Paul Smith, C of C chairmen of the annual sales event. Santa will be on hand also this Saturday to officiate at the drawing and to see the kids in the downtown area. The draw-ing will start at four p.m. ac-cording to the Smith boys, and this should make it a little nic-er to stand around and see if you've won. However, it will not be necessary to be present if your winning ticket is drawn. The tree looks nice this year, courtesy of the Cub Scouts of the area, and also with the help of Maron Oveson and his Utah Power and light truck, and al-so some help from C of C di-rectors.

Sundquist, general superintend-ent, Geneva Works, announced last week that the U.S. Steel plant, near Pleasant Grove, has received authorization to modernize the plant's plate and strip rolling mill and keep pace with more exacting re-quirements for physical quality in flat-rolle- d steel products by western customers. Mr. Sundquist announced ap-proval of the project Wednes-day before a Service Awards Luncheon at Provo in honor of 125 veteran Utah steelmakers. After completion "in about two years, additions to modern-ize existing facilities will en-able Geneva employees to pro-duce plates, semi-finishe- d coils and hot-rolle- d sheets of im-proved quality related" to gage, width, flatness and other phys- ical properties for customers in 13 western states and Pitts-burg Works, a sister finishing plant near San Francisco, he said. The 132-inc- h plate and strip mill, which rolls more than 85 per cent of Geneva's total out-put, is the backbone of Utah's steel industry. From soaking pits to finishing and shipping, the operations stretch of a mile under one roof. In his announcement, Mr. Sundquist credited the mill modernization to progress in recent years by Gen-eva employees in their endeav-or, known as Errors Zero, to meet a growing challenge by foreign and domestic produc-ers for West Coast markets. He called approval of the project "an important vote of confidence" in the Utah steel-nrdM- ng team by U.S. Steel of-ficers and directors, who visit-ed the integrated plant during the Corporation's Annual Meet-ing of Stockholders at Salt Lake last May. Future investments in the quarter-century-ol- d plant would largely depend on Geneva em-ployees "to uphold this confi-dence and get the most from these new facilities," Mr. Sund-quist stressed. He urged veter-an steelmakers at Wednesday's luncheon to renew their com-mitment to achieve future growth for their industry in Utah. Now scheduled for installa-tion at the Geneva Mill is a modern automatic gage control system at the finishing stands with a computer control to carry out split-secon- d adjust-ments in force applied by the big rolls, govern roll speed and interstand tension, and syn-chronize related phases of the final rolling operation. Other phases of the project call for replacement of an ob-solete stand, called the scale-breaker- ," with a modern unit, plus installation of new guides and entry system at the six-bi- g stands in tandem that fin-ish flat steel products rolled by the mill. The major installations, plus revised rolling practices and new standards for improved performance by mill employ-ees, already being implement-ed, should open up Geneva's marketing potential and make existing facilities at the Utah mill more competitive in phys-ical quality with plants of for-eign and domestic producers, Mr. Sundquist said. Pleasant Grove employees honored for 25 years service at the luncheon wree Milton L. West, Lawrence L. Hardman, Eustace D. Kelley, Don E. Brimley, Harry C. Candland, Grant A. Maxfield, Donald Gurney, Joseph D. Hilton. Also, George R. Paul, Cloyd L. Christiansen, Ivan D. Blain, Charles L. Rodeback, Blaine D. Batty, Ivan J. Colledge and Gam B.
