n" | - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1870 A LARGE DRY-SAW (ackground) takestion this Spring. In this area of the plant, shape in the board mill of Armstrong’s newmineral fiber board will receive its first cut mineral fiber ceiling plant at Marietta, as thting after passing through the dryer. e plant prepares for the start-up of produc- ® Amrstrong (From page 1) “strong” group and he sees nothing but success. To that group of people, plus office employees, pro- duction workers of all kinds will be added at once. They will be recruited from the immediate area. Betty said that a lot of peo- ple are going to have a won- derful opportunity to start at the beginning with the new organization and that they can look to the fuutre with expectancy. Use Four Warehouses Four of the big warehouse buildings which people of this area long have consider- ed to be part of the land- scape will be used — two for manufacturing and two for warehousing. A tremendous amount of renovation, has been done, Betty told the touring newsmen, who were the first to visit the facility, other than Armstrong officials. In one building, for in- stance, a tremendous amount of excavation was necessary to provide sufficient vertical space for machinery need- ed at the head end of the manufacturing line. Betty said that “in excess of $10 million has been ex- pended by Armstrong to start the plant. And, he em- phasized the words “in ex- cess.” It is the largest single cap- ital expenditure ever made finally send it into the finish- ing department for painting, surfacing and sizing. No Waste Not one shred of material is wasted as offcuts and dam- aged pieces are fed back in- to the machine for salvage. Although tremendous am- ounts of water are used, ev- en that commodity is re- claimed, cleaned and reused. No pollution — none of any kind—is placed into the nearby river or thrown into the air. Ultra modern means of controlling such things have been built into the plant from the very beginning, in- cluding design of sanitary sewers to connect to the new Marietta-East Donegal sys- tem. : Breaks Bottleneck The Marietta plant is be- ing built to break a bottle- neck in production of Arm- strong’s ceiling plant at Pen- sacola, Fla. So successful has been the promotion of the ceiling use that the southern plant is far far behind in its schedule. And, Armstrong people see no decline in the rate of increase which the sales have had. Manager Betty said this week that a “open house” is expected to be held later, as the plant gets itself establish- ed and ready for such an ev- ent. The “board mill”, which is the heart of the produ- ction, will work on a 24-hr. per day basis, employees op- erating on swing shifts. The ceiling, used widely in such installations as hos- pitals, public buildings of all kinds, commercial build- ings, stores, offices etc. is a fireproof material. It will be made in four different surface treatments and in sizes 2’x4’, 2'x3’ and 2x2’. HOSPITAL AUXILIARY The Landisville - Salunga Auxiliary to the General hos- pital will hold a meeting on Monday, Jan. 26 at 8:30 p.m. at Zion Lutheran church, Landisville. Dr. John Cavan- augh will be the guest speak- er and his topic will be “As- tronomy’’. Mrs. Charles Elliott and Mrs. Jack Bidding, program co-chairman of the Auxiliary will detail plans for the “work” meeting to be held in March. The March meet- ing with emphasis on service to the hospital will benefit the Children’ Ward of the hos- pital. Mrs. Robert Brackbill, hos- pitality chairman, announc- ed that the hostesses for the evening will be four past presidents of the Landisville- Salunga Auxiliary, Mrs. Har- ry Hoffman, Mrs. Benjamin Stoner, Mrs. Richard Nissley and Mrs. Matthew Harrison.

PAGE FIVE Prayer Of The Week The prayer this week is by Simon Patrick: “Almighty and most merciful Father, in whom we live and move and have our being, to whose ten- der compassion we owe our safety in days pest, to gether with all the comforts of this present life, and the hopes of that which is to come; we praise Thee, ,0 God, our Creator; unto Thee do we give thanks, O God, our exceeding Joy, who daily pourest Thy bene- fits upon us. “Grant, we beseech Thee, that Jesus our Lord, the Hope of glory, may be formed in us, in all humili- ty, meekness, patience, contentedness, and absolute surrender of our souls and bodies to Thy holy will and pleasure. Leave us not, nor forsake us, O Father, but conduct us safe through all changes of our condi- tion here, in an unchangeable love to Thee, and in holy tranquility of mind in Thy love to us; till we come to dwell with Thee, and rejoice in Thee forever. Amen.” Sweetheart Photo Contest Children ages 0 to three years are eligible to be en- tered in the Mount Joy Joy- cee-ettes’ Sweetheart King and Queen photo contest, it was announced this week.

To Consider Manheim Borough Coun- cil, at its Jan. 27 meeting, will consider construction of a one and one-half million gallon water storage facility on the Chiques Creek. The dam would control flooding such as the borough experienced last summer during heavy rains and would assure the borough an adequate water supply for the future. Councilman Frederick Sen- senderfer met last November with officials from the De- partments of Soil Conserva- tions and Forests and Waters and reported the dam would cost around $1.5 million. Manheim would be respon- sible for $200,000 of the cost, with state, federal and coun- ty funds paying the remain- Reservoir der, he said. Construction would start in 1974 and take about ten years to complete. Initial payments on the project would not be due until the dam was finished in 1984 with a maximum of 40 years complete payment. Councilmen have asked residents of Manheim to ex- press their feelings by writ- ing to the borough office be- fore next meeting. SPRING PLANTING It is not too soon to think about spring planting — ev- en though the earth is cov- ered with snow, remind ex- tension garden specialists at Penn State. Now is a good time to order seed and plants.
