Geological survey boosts state
The Kansas Geological Survey, located in KU's Lindley Hall, "makes major contributions to the public of Kansas and elsewhere by generating millions of dollars in the state's economy."
In the field of ceramics, for example, William M. Hambleton, associate director of the survey, reports that $9.5 million worth of bricks have been produced at plants established as a result of the survey's field investigations and laboratory testing.
Survey studies in the tile and sewer-pipe industry resulted in sales estimated at $50 million.
A million-dollar-a-year shale-aggregate industry owes its existence to Survey investigations.
SIMILAR RETURNS have been made in ground water services, oil and gas industry services and miscellaneous state-agency and industrial services.
The 70-member Survey staff is supervised by Frank C. Foley, director, and Hambleton.
The survey, in its 103rd year, includes five operating sections mineral resources, water resources, geologic research, environmental geology, and administrative services.
These sections were recently developed to improve the quality and quantity of work and improve communication, Hambleton said.
THE NEW electronic sirens are smaller than the ones currently in use and can be placed in more strategic areas.
The test is an evaluation of how good the siren-speaker is and what territory can be covered by it.
At this point the siren is merely experimental and Lynly said there has not been talk of incorporating it in the present Civil Defense plans.
Don't dive for cover at 1 p.m. Saturday.
The wail that is to fill the air will be merely a test run for an experimental civil defense siren.
LOOKING FOR...?
THE MINERAL resources section helps to develop and sustain the mineral industries of Kansas. It is divided into three units. The industrial minerals division engages in exploration, analysis and consultation for industrial development. The product development division develops new products from mineral resources and conducts cost and market analysis. The economic analysis division studies economic factors and market trends.
Siren Sat will mark C.D. test
Howard Lynly, Director of Civil Defense for Douglas county, explained the new siren as having a speaker incorporated for use if evacuation of an area would be necessary.

Working anywhere in the state, the Survey looks for information that will be of the most use to Kansas. It maintains extensive data collection and public assistance programs and publishes numerous reports of its studies.
Much of the work of the water resources section is carried out with matching funds from the U.S. Geological Survey. Working together, they produce reports on ground water resources for individual industries, municipalities and government agencies.
The survey, growing greatly in importance during the past few years, has achieved national and international recognition.
Its work is credited as the "key factor in revitalizing the ceramic industry" in Korea after the Korean Conflict.
"WE ARE interested in the impact of geology upon people, and social and political institutions," Hambleton said.
In comparison with other similar organizations, Hambleton said, "We're way ahead."
The geological research section studies the kinds of rocks in Kansas and their origins, and explores their economic value. This section also is divided into three sub-units: basic geology, petrography, and geochemistry. Computers are being used to speed geologic research.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL geology section is investigating problems of environmental health, transportation land use and urban and regional planning. Urban expansion in potential quarry sites is one problem this section studies. Others include water pollution and water drainage.
