“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’.

pital will hold a meeting on

“work” meeting to be held

ing with emphasis on service
to the hospital will benefit the

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.”

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.
