HERSHEY NEWS Vol. 3 HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA, SEPT. 29, 1955 No. 39 Corporation Employees Praised SALUTE TO SAFETY record of the Hershey Chocolate Corporation brought this group together with P. A. Staples (seated), chairman of the Board and Chocolate Corporation president. Mr. Staples holds the engraved plaque presented by the Pensylvania Manufacturers' Association in recognition of the employees' outstanding industrial safety achievement. Others in the group are (left to right) Samuel F. Hinkle, plant manager; G. Mason Owlett, president of For Safety Record the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association; J. R. Zoll, Hershey director of personnel; Paul Sherwin, assistant manager of safety inspection and engineering, PMA Casualty Insurance Company; Ben R. Johnson, manager, safety inspection and engineering, PMA Casualty Insur-ance Company; A. Bowman Snavely, chief engineer, Her-shey Chocolate Corporation; and John B. Sollenberger, president of Hershey Estates. Fund Campaign Begins Here On Monday The in-plant phase of the combined fund drive being sparkplugged here by the Derry Twp. Welfare Board will be set in motion next week—beginning on Monday, it was announced by the pro-ject planners. The local plan is being conducted in collabora-tion with the Tr -County Uni-ted Fund campaign of Har-risburg. As this week began, a num-ber of local industries, busi-nesses and other organiza-tions had joined the local in-plant, payroll deduction cam-paign for funds to be used by various charitable agencies. As the Hershey News went to press, these included the Her-shey Chocolate Corporation, Hershey Estates, Milton Her-shey School, M.L. Haldeman and Son, Miller Brothers, H. B. Reese Candy Company, King Kup Candies, Inc., Acme Food Market, and the Derry Township public schools. The funds contributed through this combined plan will go for the operation of the Derry Township Welfare Fund and the various Tr - County United Fund partici-pating agencies, which in-clude: American Red Cross, Boy. Scouts, Catholic Youth Organization, Child Guidance Center, Child Welfare As-sociation, Children's Home, Family and Children's Ser-vice, Girl Scouts, Harrisburg Hospital, Polyclinic Hospital, Pennsylvania Association for the Blind, Pennsylvania As-sociation for Retarded Child-ren, Salvation Army, Sylvan Heights Home, Tr -County Crippled Children's Associa-tion, United Cerebral Palsy, Visiting Nurse s, YMCA, YWCA. The combined effort of the local campaign was estab-lished for the convenience of the contributors through the payroll deduction system in the various cooperating firms. The plan was worked out by the Derry Township Welfare Board as a solution to the problem of many varied cam-paigns for funds to support charitable agencies. Chief difference between this effort and the Tri-Coun-ty United Fund campaign is that the local contributions will be administered locally, to a large degree, allocating an adequate share of the receipts for immediate •and "tide-over" welfare needs in Derry Township before passing on the larger portion of the con-tributions in a cooperative move with the Tr -County United Fund drive. The in-plant campaign here will be followed by a commu-nity- wide solicitation of per-sons who are not reached in next week's effort among the employes of businesses and industry. The community can-vass is set for the week of October 17. Contributors via the in-plant campaign will be given symbols of their participation for their homes, to avoid du-plication in requests for con-tributions. Heading t h e Tr -County United Fund drive in Lower Dauphin County is William E.C. Dearden, Jr., of the Mil-ton Hershey School staff. Chairman of t h e Derry Township campaign is H. A. Vernet, Jr., with Melvin H. Garner as assistant. "It must be a great com-fort to a family to know that its breadwinner, and perhaps other members, are going to work in a safe place when they leave for their daily job," G. Mason Owlett, president of the Pennsylvania Manufactur-ers' Association, said in refer-ence to the Hershey Chocolate Corporation last week. Owlett's remarks came at a gathering of safety commit-tee people at the conclusion of the presentation of the PMA's highest industrial safety award to the Hershey organization. Owlett present-ed the PMA safety plaque to P. A. Staples, chairman of the Board and president of the Hershey Chocolate Corpora-tion. - In accepting the award in behalf of the employees, safe-ty committee and advisory safety committee people and corporation officials, Mr. Staples pointed out that the safety record "could only be attained through the complete cooperation of all the em-ployees and officials." He ex-tended his congratulations to the groups responsible for ef-fecting the safety program and to the entire personnel of the corporation. At the time of the presenta-tion last Tuesday, only seven of the top Pennsylvania Manu-facturers' Association safety awards had been presented this year. The PMA has some 9,400 member firms among the state's manufacturing in-dustries. Addressing the saf et y group, Hershey Plant Man-ager S. F. Hinkle also said the achievement reflects much credit upon the entire person-nel, and pointed out that "Hershey has been winning recognition for good safety practices for some time." Prevention Provable Industry and business in the Keystone State have proved that accidents on the job can be prevented, PMA President Owlett said. He cited Penn-sylvania Department of Labor and Industry records which show the number of fatal ac-cidents in manufacturing has been reduced almost 62 per cent and non-fatal accidents more than 50 per cent during the 12-year period ended in 1954. The manufacturers' spokes-man presented Hershey em-ployees with a stainless steel and walnut plaque for having worked a record 1,522,043 man hours without an acci- (-Continued an Page Fear) Vehicle Parking Gets Close An enforcement drive against parking violations in Derry Township is being con-ducted by the Pennsylvania State Police, resulting in a number of recent arrests. The enforcement phase fol-lows a preliminary program aimed at reducing the number of violations via public infor-mation. The State Police con-tacted school, church, indus-trial and business interests to point out the parking ills, and, in response to a State Police request, an editorial titled "Operation Park-Right" ap-peared in the September 1 issue of the Hershey News. The campaign of enforce- Scrutiny ment is concentrated on the regulations covering parking too near an intersection; park-ing on marked crosswalks; parking more than six inches from the curb line; parking against the normal flow of traffic (wrong sidt of street) ; parking too close to stop signs; and parking in such a manner as to block private driveways. Careful attention should be given by all motorists to the correctness of their vehicles' positions before leaving them. A properly parked car can avoid for its operator the un-pleasantness and inconven-ience of arrest. Another point which may be well taken here is one of the driving changes brought about by the installation of traffic signals at the inter-section of Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues. Under the State Vehicle Code, a U-turn is prohibited at an intersection controlled by traffic lights, whether signs to this effect have been erected or not. This means the U-turn between the "islands" is now eliminated. However, the U-turn is still permissible at the eastern end (c.„twes NI rap Twin Hershey News Comm. Bldg. Hershey, Pa. BULK RATE ii S.
