KIWANIANS SEE
LOCAL PRODUCT
MANUF ACTURED

Celebration of the birthdays of four
of it's members added color to the regu-
lar luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis
club held Wednesday at the Gadsden
s. G.. Dowell, chairman OF the day,
was among the number who had passed
another milestone. DIR. E. w. Adamson,
Fl. A. Wimberley and Thomas M. Mas
sey were the other members whose
birthdays fell during the current week
All four received birthday tokens from
the club. In honor of the members
celebrating their birthdays, spring
chicken and special champagne
punch were served.
j. d. Cooper, manager of the PIGGY
Wiggly store in Douglas, exhibited an
automobile tire cover which he recently
had prepared, upon which was inscrib-
ed a legend advertising Douglas. Sew
eral members were so impressed with
the idea that they Immediately made
arrangements to procure similar tire
covers.
Immediately following the luncheon,
Dowell, who is superintendent of the
Arizona Gypsum Plaster company's
planI, escorted all OIL the CluD memDeFS
through the plant. 1t was interesting
to note that though most of the mem
bers had called at the office of the
plant none had ever seen its workings
and but few had any idea of the size of
this local manufacturing plant
The visitors were shown where the
raw gypsum material brought in from
the local quarry was put through the
first grinding process preparatory to
being dehydrated in huge oil furnaces.
Dowell explained that the crude gyp-
sum contained 20 per cent water and
that it was necessary to extract just
the right proportion of this water con-
tent before the gypsum could be put
through the final grinders. From the
final grinding machines the material
went to the sacking department, where
it was sacked in bags bearing a large
inscriptions: Douglas Gypsum Plaster"
In the office of the plant the visitors
were shown many interesting speci-
mems of gypsum and gypsum byprod-
ucts and samples of the gypsum block
and tile which are nodded at the local
plant for building purposes.
