BY E. J. THOMAS
resident, The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company
OODYEAR employes
Coast to Coast are to be
ongratulated for their excel-nt
support of the recent U.
. Savings Bond campaign
onducted among personnel in
ach of the company's domes-ic
plants, field and district
perations.
Results of the drive are
ratifying and again exempli-y
that Goodyear folks stand
eady to shoulder the respon-ibility
with the government
n modifying the forces of in-ation
and in meeting the
omplicated economic prob-ems
of our country.
In addition to giving solid
upport to the government,
he Savings Bonds you are
resently buying through the
oluntary payroll savings plan
1so mean added security for
OU.
The bonds you are purchas-ng
today may provide you
ith a home of your own,
aterial things for a better
iving, a farm, college for the
oungsters, ready money in
mergencies, more security in
retirement and freedom from
financial worry.
Regular saving of part of
what you earn is good, com-mon
sense. Your bonds are
the part of your take-home
pay that grows. At the same
time you automatically be-come
a shareholder in your
country's welfare.
After your bonds mature
you may hold them ten more

years, at three per cent in-terest,
compounded semi - an-nually.
You will then get
eigbty per cent MORE than
the amount you invested.
Savings Bonds are safe and
sure. Their cash values are
guaranteed by the United
States treasury. If lost, stolen
or destroyed, they will be re-placed.
It's easy and automatic
saving.
Hold on to your Savings
Bonds. If you over-estimated
the amount you could save
when you signed up for bonds,

you may find it necessary to
decrease the amount of your
deductions. However, do not
cancel from the U. S. Savings
Bond program. The painless
and .convenient payroll sav-ings
plan is the best way to
save for your future.
Your security is America's

U. S. Savings Bonds in the

TEN OTHERS WITH
CLEAN SLATES BUT
HAD FEWER HOURS
Jack Kidney Gives Interesting
Report At Luncheon Attended
By 144 In Supervision
Working 419,565 man-hours in
May without a lost-time acci-dent,
the service division won
the safety award for that month,
according to a report by Jack
Kidney, safety director, at the
safety luncheon attended by 144
men in Goodyear Hall on Tues-day
of last week.
Kidney, in complimenting the
service division, said ten other
divisions also had perfect re-cords
but, of course, worked
fewer hours and were ineligible
to win.
The eleven divisions with not
a lost-time accident in May were
listed by Kidney as follows:
Division Hours Worked
Service 419,565
Plant 1 Tires ......... 320.672
Plant 2 Tires ...... 296,427
Indutitrial Products ...295.588
Tubes and Tanks ......255,521
Chemical and
Development ..... .244,154
Plant C. ............ .231,654
Mobil Products ........ 124,768
Phint 1 Stock
Preparaticn .. ..... 119,427
Aeronautic:il Products . . 54,947
Reclaim ............... 23,698
Kidney • announced that the
engineering division 66came
mighty close" to winning the
safety award, but one lone lost-time
accident marred the re-cord.
The division worked 442,-
137 hours-22,572 more thanthe
service division-but the single
lost-time mishap stepped in to
spoil an otherwise perfect slate.
Proud Of Progress
Kidney stated that he was
proud of the progress being
made by Goodyear workers, as
only ten lost-time accidents oc-curred
in all divisions this year
to June 1.
••That's what I call.fine work,"
said Kidney, 6(and I hope we can
improve the setup even more
than that. It proves, however,
that our people really are be-coming
more and more safety-minded."
