Be Loyal To Your Company At All Times 1 GGDon't Bite The Hand That Feeds You." There's an old saying to the effect that you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you. Some people, perhaps without even realizing it, actually vio-late this rule, despite its ob-vious warning that to do so is to do an injustice to themselves. Translated into industrial jargon, the statement indicates that any company employe who buys a product made by a com-peting company, when he could have purchased the sanne (and even better ) product from his - own company, is really biting the hand that feeds him. That is why all Goodyearites should buy products which are either made or handled by Goodyear. The more goods the company sells, the more people it can keep on the payroll. Sales de-termine the extent of employ-ment. No company, whether it produces brass tacks or rubber tires, can keep employment at a high level when its sales are at low ebb. That's why Sales Mean Jobs I Frank Cueni Says He Insisted On Goodyear Tires For His New Car-And He Got Them Frank Cueni, who retired on June 4, last year, after forty years' service, returned last week with his wife from a win-ter spent in Miami, Fla., and ex-pects to remain in Akron dur-ing the summer at 606 Lumiere street. •I bought a new automobile recently jn Miami," said Cueni, "and I told the salesman I wanted Goodyear tires on the car. He said he couldn't do that for me. So I told him it meant no sale. I also told him I worked for Goodyear in Akron forty years and I knew that Goodyear tires are the best. 66Well, to make a long story short, the dealer, eager to sell a new car, finally agreed to put on Goodyear tires. After the tires were placed on the four wheels, I paid the bill and drove ' away. I'm telling you that if Goodyear employes insist on Goodyear tires-and insist hard enough-their request will be granted. Dealers in cars don't want to pass up a sale if they can prevent it."

Speedwalk Will Be Shown On Television Over WXEL Channel 8 Thursday At 5 P. M. Scenes of the Goodyear Aircraft Speedwalk installation, along with those of the opening of the world's first commer-cial Speedwalk installation for the Hudson & Manhattan Rail-road in Jersey City, N. J., will be shown at 5 p. m. Thursday, June 17, over WXEL, channel 8. The pictures will appear on the 6'Good Neighbor" pro-gram, conducted by.Ted Anthony: P. W. Freitag, Goodyear prOJect engineer for passenger conveyor belt systems, will participate in a five-minute dis-cussion- on the films. The evolution and growth of the •moving sidewalk" idea will be featured on this first program of a series, which will feature the rise of prominent people or an idea. •GAIN the cornucopia con-taining suggestion money was upturned last week and out rolled $4,010 for Goodyearites who had meritorious ideas. The top winner was Joseph A. Rinella, Plant 1 machine shop, who drew the highest cash prize the company offers for a sug-gestion-$ 2,500. And this amount will be a big lift for Rinella, who scid he had saved and saved for years to enable him to build a new home. '6Now my dream of a new home will come true," said Rinella, when he received the top suggestion prize. "I had been saving to buy a lot on Can-ton road. This $2,500 prize will enable me to purchase the lot and begin building operations sooner than I had anticipated." Rinella's idea calls for a new method of die casting inserts for a newly developed tire. E. F. Pierce, superintendent of plant maintenance and machine shops, made the award presentation. "I knew the suggestion was a good one, said Joe, 66but I never thought it would win the jack pot award." Rinella had received $60 for two of his pre-vious suggestions. Native Akronite, Rinella at-tended South High School and Hower Vocational School. He did machine work in job shops in Akron until 1941, when he entered the air force.
