Less Dimples More Flight
By reducing the number of dimples from 336 to 252 and arranging them in a special pattern, Uniroyal has been able to improve the lift and trajectory of a new golf ball that has the latest high energy rubber center and the finest golf ball winding thread available.
The new Uniroyal 252 — just introduced to golf players — also breaks with. the past because of its Surlyn cover which replaces the standard balata cover and increases the ball’s durability.
Alcoholism Third Fatal Illness
Alcoholism is today one of the most disastrous illnesses in America. In fatality it is officially listed as Number 3, ranking next to heart failure and cancer.
In terms of human misery it easily ranks as Number 1, for the illness brings agony and suffering not only to the patient himself but to all who share his life, whether in family, in work associations, or in the community in which he lives.
Dreadful as unrehabilitated alcoholism is, Alcoholics Anonymous is today the most effective treatment of it. In future issues of CHEM-TEXTS the success of AA in the treatment of alcoholism will be discussed.
Tire Plant To Triple Radial Production
Uniroyal announced the start of production of steel belted radial ply tires at the Opelika, Ala. plant as part of an overall conversion program that will triple the current production rates for this new tire by the end of 1973.
In addition to the Opelika plant, the Company produces steel belted radials at the Detroit plant and in Ardmore, Okla., which is the only plant in the U.S. designed specifically for them.
With the completion of the Opelika program, Uniroyal will have invested more than $100 million for this type of tire in the U.S.
The Company has produced more steel belted radials, worldwide, than any other American tire manufacturer.
By 1977, more than 80% of the nation’s new cars and more than one-half of all replacement tires sold, will be steel belted radial ply construction.
JA Sets Up
(Cont’d from page 1)
program is to give high school students actual experience and to develop an understanding of the basic economic concepts on which a business operates.
Each officer has a specific accountability for the success of the company’s operation. Most of them have had little business training prior to the formation of the company, but experience has proved that they can build a business from scratch and turn it into a profitable venture.
Uniroyal Chemical Advisors to the company are Randolph Porter, Michael True, Cheryl McMahon, Thomas Reynolds and Thomas Schmidt.

Letters To The Plant
Dear Mr. Shaw:
On behalf of our Social Action Committee and everyone of our people who attended the tour of your pollution control facilities on Sunday, I offer thanks to everyone concerned. We had two excellent guides, ready with both patience and wit.
In this day so obviously concerned with pollution control, it is my opinion and that of our Social Action Committee that too often we easily condemn those who do nothing and we are mighty sparing with praise for those who do something. On Sunday afternoon we had an opportunity to praise and not condemn and, indeed, Uniroyal does deserve appreciation for its efforts to enhance our environment.
Again, thank you for the “above and beyond” effort to inform interested citizens of your work on pollution control.
Sincerely yours,
Rev. Albert F. Ciarcia
