Building Is Symbol Os Confidence In Soya’s Future Here

Harold W. McMillen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the j Central Soya Company, Inc., Fort ( Wayne, Indiana, called the new office building he dedicated here today at the company’s Decatur , plant, a “symbol of our confidence . in the company's next 25 years.” , McMillen spoke at the company's j 25 anniversary “open house” and • dedication program at the Decatur - plant, where Central Soya was founded by his father, Dale W. McMillen, on October 2, 1934. He presented a silver key to the program included the elevator, of the original employees, and now Manager of Decatur’s Central SoyaMcMillen Feed Mills plant. Small is MC William H. Small, personnel director of the Decatur plant, opened the dedication program as master of ceremonies by introducing Joe W. Seabold, sales promotion manager, who led the group in singing “America”. The Harold J. Bond, of the First Presbyterian church, gave the invocation, which was followed by the welcome to the company plant by Tom H. Allwein. plant manager. Harold W. McMillen, chairman of the board, followed with the address and presentation of keys. The tour which completed the program included the elecvator, feed mill, solvent extraction paint, M&R department, new office building, feed research, steam power plant, Lecithin department, and analytical laboratory. McMillen’s Speech In dedicating the new office building, McMillen said that the new office is a result of, “our continuing expansion program, it the Decatur plant." *". “Not only has it provided pleasant and efficient facilities for the office staff, but it has provided central headquarters for our Engineering and Technical Departments, which serve all of the company’s operations.” “In addition,” he pointed out, “the new building has made available the old office space for expanded feed, soya and grain activities.” Ist Sales McMillen recalled historical events of the company’s first year, such as "the first shipment of soybean oil from the orginal plant on December 8, 1934.” “January 23, 1935. was another important day in the company's first year,” McMillen said. “On that date, McMillen Feed Mills, which had been incorporated as the feed division of Central Soya, received its first order for feed—46,350 pounds of mixed feed. . .Master Mixing Feed. . . .30 percent molasses — from Mr. George Martin of the Niles Feed & Seed Co., Niles, Ohio.” From this small beginning the company has grown. “New plants have been acquired or built, “he noted, “at Harrisburg, Pa., Marion, Ohio; Memphis and Chattanooga, Tenn.; Des Moines, Iowa: Gibson City and Chicago, Ill.; and Indianapolis, Ind. In addition, warehouses and grain merchandising facilities serve customers over a wide area.” “Our operations are diversified and include feed manufacturing soy-

bean processing, special soya products and grain merchandising." McMillen said that, ‘‘progressive management, sound research, a continuing modernization of plants salesmanship, loyal employees, and understanding and friendly neightrers at plants such as Decatur, have contributed to the company’s progress.” Parking A Problem Al Indiana's Fair By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—The Indiana State Fair,, now in its 107th year, has reached a point at which it must literally go up or down and one veteran official of the exposition thinks it is time to go up with a combination parking and exhibit area. Earl J. Bailey, secretary-mana-ger of the multi-million dollar agricultural and industrial show, says the state fair no longer has unused space on its some 240 acres, due not only to development of the event itself, but to changes in transportation. ‘‘Parking is our number one problem,” he said. “We have reached the place where we must either go up or down. For this reason I am going to suggest to the fair board that it consider endorsing tiie machinery field arid using a concrete parking lot for a roof.” Bailey said such a building would be open air, with ramps going to the roof parking area similar to structures now appearing in downtown metropolitan Indianapolis. Bailey said such ’ a combination exhibit hall and elevated parking I area could be built under trending powers possessed by the State Fair Board. * • Cost Unknown He said he did not know what the cost would be but added “it would not be an expensive operation. There would be no side walls. I think It would pay for itself in 20 years.” The secretary-manager, a Lowell farmer and co-owner with his son of a small airport, served on the State Fair Board for eight years before assuming his present job three years ago. He said not only parking fees but also increased charges to the manufacturers would bring in money. The machinery exhibitors are located on an open field in the northeast part of the fairgrounds east of the Conservation Building, and now rent tents to house their displays. He said the State Fair Board is permitted to issue bonds up to a million dollars and now has very little bonded indebtedness. Some debt remains on the farmers, conservation and service buildings which were constructed by this method.
