Day Shift.
With the installation
of our two
new lathes, the night shift is now working
days. And how do they like it?
It seems that
their wives like it better than they do. After
all, who wants a husband sitting around all
day while everybody else's husband is at work?
Larry Mellott is now working as a machinist
and no longer has to worry about the stock
room.
Eugen Steiert spends an extra hour on
the road every day, because he has to battle
the rush hour traffic,
but he is managing all
right.
Hans Bockenkamp transferred to his
same position as leadman in the machine shop
on, the day shift, since George Seiji left to
work for the university.
Walter Brugmann is
working on one of the new lathes and reports
that it does a fine job.
Hans is assigned to
the other one, and Gerry Stanke will operate
the third one when it arrives the first week
in. June.
Stockholders.
The annual luncheon meeting of
stockholders was held at Spenger's the 14th
of April.
Mr. Hallikainen announced an in-
crease in sales of 31% for 1961, earnings of
66.cents per share and a stock dividend of
8.3%. Of the 68 stockholders attending the
meeting, 22 were company employees and their
wives,
Conversation Problem? When I go to parties
people invariably ask me where I work. When
I tell them that I work for Hallikainen
(which they can neither pronounce nor remem-
ber) and that we build process stream ana-
lyzers (which I can't explain),
the whole
thing sounds a bit subversive to them, so
they excuse themselves to go and talk to
somebody who works for Safeway. Bill Breyer
has agreed to solve my problem by writing a
technical article
each month about one of our
instruments.
If you are having the same
difficulty,
watch for the Let's Get Technical
section in next month's paper.
Visitor.
Mr. P. F. Cox from the Arabian
American Oil Company spent a few days in our
plant to familiarize
himself with our acid
analyzer and continuous viscometer.
His
company has ordered these instruments and he
has to know how to adjust and operate them
when he returns to Arabia in June.
Wedding Bells!
On April 14th Rae Marie Thayer
became Mrs. Don Zolman. The ceremony was
performed by the Reverend Odegard at the
Bancroft Avenue Baptist Church in San Leandro.
The reception for the 215 guests was held in
the church hall immediately following the
ceremony. Rae and Don then drove to Southern
California where they visited most of the
tourist spots including Disneyland and Knott's
Berry Farm. They later stopped at San Simeon
on their way back up the coast.
They are now
"at home" in Oakland.
Caitilin Robin Rabbitt was born March 3Oth,
and Mike and Tanya are delighted with her.
Personality Sketch.
Baby blue eyes, curly
red hair and "Oh that Irish smile!"
It
sounds great ! It is great!
It's our own
Tom Hale. His cheerful personality
has been
resounding throughout the plant for the past
6% years with the exception of those few
quiet minutes each day when he is out on a
delivery,
Tom started as a tender lad just
out of school in January of 1956 in the elec-
tronics department with a job classification
of "shop, miscellaneous. tt Now, as our one
man shipping department, Tom is responsible
for packing,crating
and arranging for the
shipment of everything that is shipped out of
the plant to all parts of the world.
He is
directly
responsible
to Ed Schimbor whose
natural reserve keeps him from admitting that
Tom is a "great kid.++ Always an enthusiastic
participant
in company activities,
Tom can be
depended upon for energetic committee work,
and he even managed to come through as anchor
man on the bowling team. His community ser-
vice activities
include the Junior Chamber
of Commerce, the Elks Club, and the Ski Fed-
eration, and he is an ardent golfer.
Tom's
home is in Alameda where lately he and his
wife have been installing
a patio in their
back yard.
Up From The Ranks! In keeping with the com-
pany policy of advancing qualified
personnel
into more responsible
jobs as vacancies occur,
Ski Bradford- has been-assigned to the job of
---+---
lea man in the electronics
department to fill
the vacancy created by RoscodZink's
resig--
nation.
Skip came to work as an apprentice
electronics
technician in December of 1957,
His background of three years of college
courses in the field of electronics
provided
him with the know-how for rapid advancement.
When an opening came up for an electronics
technician in the test room, Skip moved into
it.
During this time he received his journey-
man's rating and learned the technical aspects
of our instruments to the point of qualifying
himself for this advancement to leadman.
Congratulations!
Hank Johnson is taking Skip's place in the
test room. Originally from Hanford, Calif.,
he came to Berkeley and completed a-year at-
U.C., spent 3 years in the Navy during W.W.
II teaching electronics
at Del Monte and
Chicago, worked 13 years for Standard Oil
and the past 9 years for Shand and Jurs as
instrument test technician.
Besides having
6% grandchildren to demand his time and in-
terest, he holds two patents for simultaneous
photo composing machinery which he has in-
vented on his own. He and his wife have a
home in Berkeley where Hank finds time to
enjoy his garden.
Save the Date! The company Picnic will be
held on Saturday, June 23rd at Temescal Bowl.
Plenty of room for baseball,
volleyball,
frisbie
and children.
