Ortiz Action Averts Injury
The alert action of Herminio Ortiz, an operator in the Reclaim Mill Room, averted a serious injury to a fellow employee whose clothing was caught by a bolt on a conveyor belt and was pulling him toward the equipment.
Ortiz, working nearby, pulled the emergency switch and stopped the machine. His quick response prevented a severe injury to the employee.

U.S. Savings Bond Interest Increased Up to 6%
The interest rate for U.S. Savings Bonds has been increased from 5½% to 6% and the maturity period has been reduced from 5 years and 10 months to 5 years.
The increase and the new maturity period which became effective December 1, 1973, also applies to E bonds which have already been purchased.
With the new interest rate, U.S. Savings Bonds become a sound financial method to save for the college education of young children.

Oxford Girls Solve Crisis
A report in the Waterbury Republican credits secretaries at the Oxford Management and Research Center for their role in conserving heat energy.
Because of the heating system at Oxford which utilizes the heat of the body, the Center used 42% less fuel in January 1973 than in January 1972.
The article attributed part of this to “the female employees who might cause their male coworkers to generate a bit more heat than the average 500 BTUs.”
It further pointed out, “the real key to the energy saving is the heating system’s built-in capacity to recirculate old air that’s been warmed up significantly by office activity.”
CHEM-PROD JOTTINGS
by 7 BUILDING CREW
SAFETY: As you all probably know, in February we suffered our first serious accident and first lost time accident since last September. We hope this is not the start of a new trend. We’ve had an excellent record going in Chemical Production until this month.
The Monday morning meetings are continuing with some good discussions on plant conditions. We need more of this—keep up the dialogue.
PRODUCTION: Business continues at a brisk pace. Bldgs. 1, 28 and 94 will be going on 7 days soon. This will put just about every operation on 7 days for now. Raw material shortages continue to plague us and will continue to create downtime on various products. Productivity in the plant was very good in January with pounds per man hour up 15% over the 1973 average. Finishing areas are still somewhat behind.
TRASH DRUMS: Many buildings are now using tote drums as trash containers. These now cost over $10 a piece and are usually sent to the dump. There is an excess of used Leverpaks in the plant, that should be used in place of the drums. Matty Osiecki and Jesse DeSilva are coordinating this project.
AR’s: The Roylar Plant is on schedule with start-up of casting system scheduled for June 1. We should be posting for crews in early May and start class-room on-the-job training by mid-May. The compounding line is scheduled to start-up July 1.
The Octamine Flaker for #94 Building is on schedule. All existing equipment to clear up necessary space has been relocated. Delivery is expected mid-March with start-up around May-June.
The Aminox-Betanox Flaker is behind schedule. All equipment has been received but construction has been slow. We should be starting up in May.
New A.R’s being processed are for a new hazardous dryer in 101 West, Repair of 101 East Dryers, replacement of Omite Chlorosulfinate Maker and Stripper and Flexifeeders to replace Vac-U-Max in 101 East.
