Achieve United Givers Goal With $21,023
Making Xmas Happier
Christmas will be happier for underprivileged children due to the efforts of Bertha Mitchell, Ann Grant, and Sandy Bond who or-ganized collection of toys, games, dolls and books among Chemi-cal employees. Gracie Stone presents Sandy with 48 pairs of gloves she hand knitted and 50 stuffed dolls. From left in photo are Bertha, Ann, Gracie and Sandy.
The United Givers drive was the most successful ever con-ducted at the Naugatuck Chemi-cal plant with 1,009 employees out of 1,450 contributing. Em-ployees pledged a record-shat-tering $21,023 – over the $21,000 goal – to the 16 agencies in the Fund. This is the highest amount contrib-uted to the UG by Naugatuck Chemical employees.

$21,000 Unit
Stops Fumes
by R. Acton and W. Miller
A new $21,000 disposal facil-ity, installed at the Syn-thetic Pilot Plant, was another step in the plant’s pollution abatement program. The unit disposes of untreated process fumes and ethylene generated when experimental batches of Hypalon are made.
The stack turns of the waste hydrocarbon is completely in a stroke of steam into the burning zone. The strong fumes ambi-ent air into the flame and cre-ates turbulence which results in thorough combustion of the pollutant gases.
The new disposal system eliminates a fire hazard and greatly reduces plant pollution. It also allows the production of larger batch sizes which in-creases operating efficiency.
Sno-Plour
Almost Breaks
Youth’s Neck
by John Gandolfo
A dangling scarf, caught in the pulley belt of a snow plow, almost strangled his 18 year old son.
On Thanksgiving morning, he had just about finished plowing the heavy snowfall from the driveway when he discovered that the scarf of the plow had become loose. As he bent over to change the direction of the plow, the scarf got caught in the pulley and tightening belt.
The cotton scarf, looped around his neck, started to strangle him and would possi-bly have broken his neck and caused severe burns to his face had not the cotton fibers given way. Guard carefully.
