An Expression of Appreciation Thank you!
When a community undertakes to proudly celebrate its 50th birthday, since its inception as an Incorporated Borough, and to fittingly commemorate the deeds of those who played a part in its founding and development, nothing is more important than the willingness of public-spirited citizens to accept individual responsibility and to offer their best in cooperation and sacrifice. Of almost equal importance is the willingness of organized groups to lend their constructive force of combined effort.
When the preparation period comes to a close and the celebration itself is being enjoyed, the two little words, "Thank You," sound inadequate.
However, because it is so justly deserved, we take this means of sincerely expressing our appreciation to the following:
Our subscribers whose financial contributions made the celebration possible deserve first thought.
Our committees who served so loyally; the organizations which sponsored various events and activities; the members of the cast of "The Donora Story" who made it possible to present the pageant spectacle; to all these we extend our thanks.
Our Celebration Headquarters Staff worked long and tirelessly. To this loyal group we say, "Thank You."
There are many individuals not mentioned in this program to whom we owe our thanks. Sharing in our gratitude is a score of volunteer workers who gave freely of their time. Membership of many fraternal, religious, civic, union, veteran and social groups assisted in making our daily programs possible.
Our Queen and her court, and all the contestants; all the merchants who gave window space for exhibits and decorated their building fronts; those who entered floats and other units in the parades; the Boy Scouts; the Girl Scouts; and to all others too numerous to mention, who aided in making our Golden Jubilee a success, we sincerely say .
THANK YOU ! Harold Cope-General Chairman Al Zeffiro-Co-Chairman

consisting of two blast furnaces, twelve open hearth furnaces and a 40" blooming mill, including acces- sories, was completed. Carnegie Steel Company op- erated the plant until 1907 when it was closed down on account of the depression. In 1908, the Ameri- can Steel & Wire Company acquired the property from Carnegie Steel Company and has operated the plant without interruption since that time.
During the time the Wire Mill was operated by Union Steel Company, its requirement of Steel bil- lets was purchased in the open market. After the property was acquired by American Steel & Wire Company steel billets were secured from subsidiaries of United States Steel Corporation. This arrange- ment continued until 1907 when a 30" mill for the production of billets of suitable size was in- stalled at the steel works.
In 1907, the wire drawing equipment was re- modeled and modernized for increased and more efficient production.
World War I stimulated the demand for wire and rods and to meet this demand a third rod mill was installed at the Wire Mill in 1916.
In 1921, the first machines were installed for producing wire welded fabric for reinforcement for concrete roads and concrete reinforcement in gen- eral.
