Why Wear Hard Hats?
Despite the fact that most head injuries are always serious, there are a few workers who are reluctant to wear hard hats and prevent unexpected injuries to their heads.
Every employee should take advantage of such valuable protection as the hard hat. Employees give various reasons for refusing to wear these hats. Here are a few of the common objections and reasons.
Too Heavy?
Hard hats are only a few ounces heavier than conventional headgear, but the extra big protection is worth the extra little weight. Actually, a hard hat is less than one third the weight of an Army helmet and liner.
Too Cold?
Could be, but the problem is solved by wearing a winter liner. It will keep head, neck, and ears warm without lessening the protective value.

During the past several weeks, members have been discussing possible programs with Uniroyal personnel and outside consultants. The final program is expected to be completed in the near future. In the meantime, laboratory work has already been started to find new uses for chemicals in which the division is now basic: namely, hydrazine, cyclohexene and CHO, Polywets, Dimazine and the like.
The objective will be twofold, either to market and sell the new derivatives, or to convince customers to buy more of the basic chemicals as intermediates for their own synthesis.

Children, Victim of Fires
For their sake, and yours, practice these two simple safety rules:
(1) Keep matches and lighters away from young children. Careless smokers and children who play with matches cause more fires than anyone or anything else.
(2) Since most residential fires break out at night, know how you and your family would escape from the bedrooms if the stairs or front door were blocked by smoke.

The new pension plan provides that an employee with 30 year’s service at and after age 55 can retire at his own option on an unreduced pension amount. For those employees exercising this option on May 1, 1976 and thereafter, the plan provides a supplemental allowance until age 62.
