Safety Glasses Save Employee’s Eyesight
While U. Genga of the Materials Handling group was unloading cyclohexylamine drums, the bung sprung off and the “heel” splashed against his eyes. Fortunately he was wearing his safety glasses at the time. The picture shows how the glasses protected his eyes against serious chemical burns, and possibly loss of his sight. His only injury was slight burns of the eye lids.
It’s a good idea to always wear your safety glasses. You can never be sure when something unexpected will happen. You can bet U. Genga was glad he wore his.

170 UNION EMPLOYEES SIGN UP FOR IN-PLANT BANKING PROGRAM
Banking is easier with the new “In-Plant” banking and saving program set up by Local 218 of the United Rubber, Cork, Linoleum and Plastic Workers of America and the Naugatuck Office of the Waterbury National Bank.
According to Union President Joe Rzeszutek and Vice-President Cy Blanchard, the new program is available to all members of Local 218. 170 union employees have signed up for the plan.
The “In-Plant” banking and savings program was set up for the convenience of the union employee. Under the plan, a member authorizes weekly paycheck deductions which are deposited directly to any number of the Bank’s services such as checking, savings accounts, Christmas clubs or loan repayments.
The Bank also provides additional services including financial counselling on money management and the availability of individual lines of credit for union members.
Union members interested in the plan can call or stop in at the Waterbury National Bank in Naugatuck or at its branch offices. Before you buy your next car, improve your home, start a checking account, or need vacation expenses, investigate the lower interest rates offered in the plan.
