T. Arden, executive vice president of the company. The new facility will be located on a five-acre site south of Katella Ave. It will have 15,000 square feet of floor space. Construction is to start in about six weeks. Completion is scheduled for mid-Summer. Design of the one story structure has not been finalized, but plans call for tilt-up reinforced concrete construction with fronting of Arizona flagstone. Mr. Arden, who is in charge of Robertshaw-Fulton's Western operations, said the new center will carry on basic and applied research in the fields of automatic controls for air conditioning, home heating, domestic and commercial water heating, cooking, food preservation and home laundering appliances. He said it would further strengthen the company's position in the automatic controls field. In 1954, Robertshaw-Fulton constructed a $750,000 Research Center at Irwin, Pa., which is devoted exclusively to research in the fields of home appliance and home comfort controls. The new Western Research Center, Arden said, will engage in the same fields of interest, but with emphasis on the Western point of view. The Western Research Center, he said, will require a substantial complement of top-flight scientists, and the location is believed ideal since a large percentage of the nation's scientific talent reside in the southern California area.

"The only exception is when a school bus displaying the flashing red lights is stopped on the opposite portion of a divided highway. "It should also be remembered that it is not necessary to stop if the school bus is stopped and the red lights are not flashing." Caldwell stated. "The important thing is to know and obey all the laws regarding school buses thus helping to protect our children." Edgar R. Speece Dies Suddenly Mon. Edgar R.

Mrs. Pullman reported that a recent meeting of volu workers in state hospitals, hospitals in the city of Los A es, the question was raised," do we go about this? A new dimension — height — is being added at the construction site of Southern California Edison Company's multi-million dollar Huntington Beach Steam Station, according to R. E. Bacon, district manager. Up to now, Mr. Bacon said, physical progress of the mammoth project has been largely horizontal—that is, grading the site and pouring approximately 12,000 cubic yards of concrete for the foundation. Also a lot of work, such as tunneling for cooling water conduits, has been going on underground. But this new vertical phase of the project started on Friday, Feb. 1, with the placing into position of the first structural steel. Ultimately, approximately 2,000 tons of structural steel will be used in the giant steam-electric generating station. To get the site ready, approximately three billion pounds of earth—roughly the equivalent of a 25-story building—was dug, shifted and smoothed out. The site-grading operation was followed by pouring concrete for the foundation mat, a solid slab approximately the size of two football fields placed side by side and weighing $6,000 tons. Mr. Bacon said that the tremendous scope of the project is illustrated by the fact that just one pier or column in the plant structure will have a set of four anchor bolts weighing three tons. Kirkhill Rubber Is Manufacturing A New Product The Kirkhill Rubber Co. in Brea, has announced it is manufacturing new fluorosilicone rubber products which will function in contact with jet fuel, gasoline, oil and solvents, at temperatures ranging from 80 below zero up to 400 degrees fahrenheit.

Sea water needed for cooling purposes will be circulated through condensers and discharged back into the ocean at a rate of approximately 170,000 gallons per minute. Mr. Bacon noted that the pier now being constructed out through the surf to aid in placing pipe under the ocean floor will be removed after the job is done, as will other beach-side physical evidences of construction. Unit No. 1 of the new station is slated for completion in the summer of 1958, and the second generating unit is expected to "go on the line" by the end of that year or early 1959, it was reported. When both these units are in commercial operation, Huntington Beach Steam Station will have the generating capacity to supply electrical power to well over a million people and will represent an Edison Company investment of more than $60,000,000. Construction of the generating station is necessary to meet the constantly increasing needs for electrical service which have accompanied Orange County's spectacular post-world War II growth.

These new Kirkhill products will have applications in the aircraft, petroleum, automobile and chemical industries. Kirkhill Rubber Company is one of the world's largest manufacturers of custom-made rubber products.

Call KE 5-8200 for Want Ads Strict Federal control of airplane flight-testing and if necessary a low "with teeth in it" to prevent such flying above thickly settled communities has been called for by U. S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California. As an aftermath of the recent collision of two new aircraft over the San Fernando Valley and deaths of school children on the ground, Kuchel has taken up with the Civil Aeronautics Authority and Civil Aeronautics Board the necessity of establishing flight test zones where possible injury to civilians will be reduced to a minimum. The C. A. A. already has begun, through conferences with manufacturers and military services, to establish local flying areas in sparsely-populated locations and areas of light air traffic. Deploring the "tragic, sickening and horrible disaster" in the Los Senate last week he does not in Angeles suburbs, Kuchel told the tend to press for hastily-written legislation but asked for a prompt investigation to determine the way to provide "effective Federal controls, enforceable and enforced, in all air traffic in order to bring some measure of security to our people." Later Kuchel said he will introduce a bill giving Federal agencies additional control powers if a study of present laws indicates such Congressional authority is needed. He said he feels sure Congress "over-whelmingly would approve legislation with teeth in it, providing, for example, that in the field of testing operations the tests be confined to remote areas where a repetition of yesterday's tragedy in California could not take place."
