NAUGATUCK—Although the annual vacation shutdown at Uniroyal began Friday, Footwear Plant officials are setting up several production units for employes available and willing to work during the shutdown.

It was announced Friday that available employes should contact the Industrial Relations Department if they have not already signed up for work and wish to do so.

Mass shutdown forms will be distributed today at the Water St. entrance from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Employes eligible for unemployment compensation during this shutdown should arrange to appear in person to obtain the forms. Identification badges will be required.

Employes who have volunteered and have been notified to report for work during the vacation need not obtain the form.

Applications for supplementary unemployment benefits may be obtained at the same time the shutdown forms are obtained.
