The conditions of two International Paper workers injured in a May 3 boiler explosion have been upgraded.

They were listed today as good and fair, up from critical, said a spokesman at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Ga. A third patient had been critical, but information was not available this morning.

A fourth was released in early July. The patients have not been identified.

The explosion at the mill off Mississippi 3 left one man dead and 17 injured.

Several lawsuits have been filed.

Bins also are available at various public schools.

Paper and plastic may be taken for recycling. Plastic must be either No. 1 or No. 2, as labeled on the bottom of the container. Items to be recycled can be placed in a bag in the bin.
