The Copper Cliff No. 9 flash furnace is back in operation after an extensive $500000 rebuild to the furnace and its associated equipment.

The job included a complete renewal of the flue dust settling chamber and the overhaul of the wet cottrell electrostatic precipitator.

During the construction of the furnace, masons laid some 55,000 individual bricks and used approximately 1,700 bags of castable refractories.

Peak activity during the repair job saw 58 maintenance mechanics, 19 welders, 30 masons and 12 carpenters busy at their trades, along with additional personnel from the furnace department.

The furnace was back in operation after a shutdown of only 33 days! Walls and root have been installed in the settling chamber, and welders are busy sealing all /oints.

Once the furnace walls have been bricked, scaffolding is erected to support roof forms. "Peg 0' My Heart" Comes To Quarter Century

How well last year's show, headlined by Dennis Day, was tarnished by the heat and the crowd! The 1976 Quarter Century Club will clearly be the biggest show ever. Well over one thousand employees will be initiated into this select club at dinner dances two nights prior to the big show. Monday, May 17, the Mining and Milling departments will welcome their 628 new members with dinner and dancing at the Walden Arena. Sudbury's "Big Band Sound" band will be in attendance, to supply the very danceable rhythms. Also on Monday, May 17, inductees from the Administration and Engineering groups will be welcomed with a dinner and dance at the Italian Club in Copper Cliff. Jack Musico and his "Music Shoppe" will be there. Tuesday, May 18, the Smelting and Refining departments will salute their 345 new members at the Walden Arena, and the "Big Band Sound" will provide the Ii It. There are a few minor changes this year, organizers state. They include no free meal at the Sudbury Arena for the nights of entertainment. However, free beverages and popcorn will be on hand.

Known as 'achievers", they're par- ticpating in the non-profit Junior Achievement Program which, in Canada alone, has over 16,000 young members. There's a national office, located in Toronto, and there are well over 100 regional centres, scattered from Halifax to Vancouver. Sudbury's program was initiated in 1970 and formally launched in 1972, with 30 "achievers" forming two 'companies". Curious about the actual workings of the program, "The Triangle" talked with Barry Davey, of the Ministry of Natural Resources.

With the weather warming up and everyone dusting off their camping equipment, some extra money would surely come in handy. So if you have a money-saving idea, why not submit it to the suggestion plan - it could mean extra dollars in your pocket. In this months crop of award winners, the top award of $1 205 was shared by Don Carlyle and Jacques Genereux of Levack mine. They designed a better scrubber baffle for load-haul-dump machines. Keith Calford, Frood mine, picked up $760 for his idea to cut and inspect the head ropes on the 2200 level instead of the 2600 level. Keith has taken his pension since the time he received his award. At Copper Cliff South mine, Ray Fortin collected a cool $550 for suggesting modifications to the in-the-hole drill.
