wing, emergency room, and a
new ground floor, a new pediatrics
center, and increased bed fa-
cilities.

The structure is near 75%
completion and will be dedi-

dents of Waterbury, Naugatuck

The Uniroyal Chemical plant ranks 69th In Uniroyal Safety
The Naugatuck Chemical plant ranks 69th among the 80 domestic and international Uniroyal plants in Lost Time and Serious Injuries.
For every 1,000,000 man-hours worked (4 months) approximately 25 injuries occur among employees at the Naugatuck Chemical location.
At the Naugatuck plant, there is great concern by management and union representatives that our safety record for 1972 must improve considerably over our 1971 performance. Their joint efforts will receive top priority to improve the plant’s safety record and people attitudes toward it.

Seminars Scheduled
Speakers for the Technical Seminars, sponsored by the Research and Development Department, have been scheduled for the first half of 1972, it was announced by Dr. Charles Crittendon, secretary for the group. The first seminar will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall, New Haven Road, and start at 3:30 P.M.
The first speaker was Dr. Charles McCleary.
Dates and topics for the other seminars are: January 10, Merengam by FEIT-GEM, Gene Hertell; February 7, Copolymers in the Market Place, Joseph M. Blatchley, Chemicals & Synthetic Rubber and William Coughlin, Marketing Mgr., Plastics; March 6, PVC Blended Resins, Len Henrey of the Wayne Research Center, April 10, Uniroyal’s Radial Tire, The Tire Division representatives, William Fischer and Dr. Vince Landl.

Emautt Moved
To Gaylord
Bob Emautt, after almost 4 months in the intensive care unit of St. Mary’s Hospital, was moved to Gaylord Hospital, Wallingford, Conn. where he will undergo intensive physical therapy. According to Dr. Edward Jelly, Emautt’s plant physician, Bob is in excellent spirits, enjoys watching TV, and talking to friends. Fellow employees are encouraged to visit him at the hospital and write to him.
A special water bed is used by him to provide him comfort during his stay at the hospital.

PEACE ON EARTH TO GOOD WILL”
We pray for Peace but half the world’s people are at war or involved in civil strife. While each side is sure of their cause, the results still pain and suffering, grief and anguish.
None of us can singley alter the events that are occurring. We can, of course, individually try to express concern, but so often the political choice is not one of peace but one of war. We need to find ways to solve our problems.
What can we do? We can try to heal the wounds, to be “men of good will” by our charitable deeds and by our daily activities.
We can share more, and in this period of holy days, perhaps all of us can reflect on the suffering around us and to pray briefly for peace.

ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYBODY
As some of you may know, I recently suffered an off-the-job accident with an aluminum extension ladder that suddenly dislodged, a result of this momentary carelessness, was a cracked bone in my arm, and a rather suckward cast.
This accident brought home to me the case to which we are all occasionally so close to mishap and tragedy.
I hope each of you will continue to be alert towards the unexpected because the accident that happens can be yours.
I sincerely wish you and all the members of your family a Most Happy Christmas and New Year.

$225 Paid For Ideas
Jerry Ferguson, left, and Hugh Garahan of the Roylat plant, seem quite excited over the checks awarded for their Ideas.
Nine employees received $225 for their ideas submitted during the past months. The Ideas centered on improvements in the plant’s operations and reductions in costs.
Employees who received $25 for their suggestions were: Charles Warga, Rocco Russo, Ray Kulick, Hugh Garahan, Frank Blasko, Jr., Jerry Ferguson, Mario Jannety, George Sabka, and John Wawer.

Hospitals Approved By State

Inside the kitchen, my wife was cooking a Thanksgiving turkWhat almost turned out to be a day of tragedy, was really a day of thanksgiving for us.
When they talk about the unexpected happening, I know better than ever what they mean.

Avoid Danger In The Bedroom
There are two bedroom practices that may save you and your family if your house ever catches fire during the night. I keep the bedroom doors closed. 2) Have a second method for escaping quickly if the normal exits from your bedroom are blocked.

Christmas On The River
In a continuing program to improve the physical appearance of the plant, two Christmas trees were planted along the Naugatuck River near the Reclaim Plant. The trees will grow to a height of 12 to 15 feet, and provide a scenic effect on an otherwise drab $4,000,000 program to improve plant buildings and facilities.
