Smelter Talk Roams Byron Lovell Area
A visitor from a large smelter company explored Lovell area potential for a plant near Byron driven by abundant cheap gas. The plan envisions a starting payroll of 960 daily, expanding with growth as fuel and freight costs shape project viability. The Byron gas field is estimated at over 1,000,000 feet, with local demand small, prompting talk of major manufacturing and population growth tied to low fuel costs. The third annual Peace Meeting was held in the library with Miss Blanche Olin of the state university attending late, featuring talks from Rev. Racer, Prof. Fuchs, and others. A branch of the Woman's Peace Movement was formed, and peace essay prizes announced for local students to be awarded Saturday night at Fraternity Hall.
