FROM THE FACTORY MANAGER
Dear Fellow Employees:
Soon many of us will be taking vacations. One of the most common traits we share is the tendency to pack too much into too little time. Too much driving, too much sun, too much activity, too much partying and so on. The results of “too much” are usually too much physical fatigue and too much carelessness. As you know, carelessness leads to accidents and injuries.
Plan your vacation within your limits — drive safely, play safely, and get enough rest and relaxation. Your safety and your families’ safety depends on you and you alone. Your wife and children are counting on you and we are counting on you to come back rested and ready to continue your good work here.
I sincerely wish each and everyone of you and your families a very happy and most pleasant vacation this summer.
Best wishes

Richard Dinkle, son of Mary Dinkle one of the plant’s three switchboard operators, received the Uniroyal Chemical Management Club’s $250 scholarship award. The scholarship was supplemented this year by a $50 contribution from Larry Monroe. Selected from a group of 13 highly qualified applicants, Dick attends Naugatuck High School, where he ranks in the top 10% of a 340 class.
He was named a Connecticut State Scholar and made a member of the National Honor Society for his scholastic achievements. Dick was also Chairman of the Student Council at the High School.
This tribute from one of the school’s staff indicates his qualifications:
“He possesses a rare combination of qualities: self-discipline, patience, objectivity, depth, maturity, and — most important — a good sense of humor.
Dick plans a career in accounting or corporate law. He has been accepted at the University of Connecticut, and has yet to hear from Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania.
Chairman of the scholarship committee was Phil Paul with Tom Dowling and Jim Phelan serving as committee members.
SAFETY IS MY RESPONSIBILITY
