Opens New Celouete Plant

The Celotex Corporation, Chiqago, has announced that lightweight Celocrete aggregate will be manufactured in a recently opened government owned plant at South Chicago, Illinois. Production was expected to begin the first week in August.

The plant is operated by the Republic Steel Corporation and is ideally situated to take care of an increasing demand for lightweight aggregate for concrete construction in the midwest states.

The expanded slag of whiclr Celocrete aggregate is cotnposed is manufactured in this new plant by the most modern methods and equipment. Crusher, screens and expanding machine are all of the very latest type. The plant itself is the largest of its kind in the United States.

When The Celotex Corporation first began the merchandising of lightweight aggregate seven years ag'o, the program called for plants strategically located throughout thc country, but this program has had to be somewhat modified due to war conditions. The South Chicago plant brings the total .number of Celocr.ete manufacturing units to five. Other plants are located at Cleveland, Bufialo, Pittsburgh and Troy, N. Y., and the building of still others is contemplated as conditions permit.

Shipment from the South Chicago can be made by for about rail or highrv:iy. Storage facilities are available 30 carloads of finished material in covered bins.

Concrete products manufacturers are experiencing an increasing preference for lightweight materials manufactured from expanded slag products for many types of construction. Durability, insulation against both heat and sound, lightness in weight and color, and workability, are some of the properties of these materials which have come to be recognized by consumers in growing numbers.

Hope of the World

There is a ship with magic sails, That never have been unfurled; She lies in the harbor of Splendid Dreams And her name is, Hope of the World. She is freighted with treasures of infinite worth, For the children of men to share, Peace and Justice and Liberty And Freedom from fear and despair.

Wisdom and Courage chart the course, As the great ship puts to sea, And into the shades of departing night Shines the Star of her Destiny. Through the Golden Gate of Faith Supreme, She goes on her seaward way, With sails unfurled in the dawning light Of a glad and confiden{ day.

But will she meet with adverse fate, As she drives through an unknown sea, With her priceless cargo of Human Rights For the One World yet to be ? Will the vapors of doubt and fear arise, To darken her onward way? Will surly tempests of hate and wrath The Hope of the World betray?

'We cannot know, but we believe, That favorittg *ittds will blow, Where sunlit billows bear her on And singing currents flow; And our faith in her mission will glow and burn, In our hearts like a Sacred Fire, 'Til she comes at last to the llaven of Peace In the Islands of Heart's Desire.

-A. Merriam Conner.
