The volcanic deposits were transported by wind many thousands of years ago from volcanoes somewhere in the Rocky Mountain belt, probably in northcentral New Mexico. The deposits range in thickness from a few inches to more than 30 feet and can be found in 160 different places in Kansas.
Guest Carillonneur To Give Recital
Milford H. Myhre, guest carillonneur, will give a recital on the memorial carillon 3 p.m. Sunday.
He is a member of the guild of carillonneurs in North America.
Mr. Myhre has been carillonneur at the First Plymouth Congregational church in Lincoln, Neb., since August, 1550. He studied carillon technique and arranging with Roni Connell and arranging KK carillonneur, who played at the First Plymouth Congregational church from 1946 to 1950.
The First Plymouth carillon of 48 bells is like the one here. It too is a product of John Taylor and company of Loughborough, England. It was cast and installed in 1930 and 1931.
Frank Godfrey of the English company was the designer and engineer of both carillons. The one at Nebraska was his first installation in North America.
You might have used volcanic ash without knowing it. It's a valuable ingredient in scouring compounds and soaps and is used in glazes on pottery pieces. The dust has been used as blacktop highway dressing and in sweeping compounds and cement mixtures.
Studies are under way at the State Geological survey to find other ceramic uses and to determine the value of the ash in the manufacture of lightweight construction compounds and cellular blocks, glass and inert filler.
