As District Scout Commissioner Bohn Performs His "When l was a kid, I got a lot of help from the Boy Scouts. I feel it's only natural that I should do them a good deed." The speaker was Alton Bohn, wrapped hose, who has devoted a good share of his life to helping boys. Bohn, a 30-year veteran with the company, goes full throttle as District Commissioner for the Eastern Akron Boy Scout Council. "!'m usually gone every night of the week, attending some Boy Scout function." ne :uys. "And chances are I'll be at one of tne area Scout camps on weekends." Bohn started in Scouting when he was 12, rising to the rank of Eagle Scout. He has par ticipated in Scout training sessions at the University of Akron, Kent State University. Filmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico and a Scout reservation in New Jersey. His most prized possession is the national Silver Beaver award, the highest obtainable award in Scout ranks. There are 1,800 Boy Scouts and 600 leaders in Bohn's district, and the district is now in the midst of a drive to get boys and adults into the Scouting movement. "These adult leaders do a great job." Bohn says. "They-- like myself--derive tremendous satisfaction from helping boys grow." ALT' i Withstands Tough Competition Asbestos Packing Department Observes 50 Years Of Growth A request from a New York manufacturing con cern 50 years ago prompted establishment of a depart ment which recently cele brated a golden anniversary of production success. It was back in 1914 when a friend of the late Board Chair- non P. W. Litchfield huddled ' ith him to discuss a business proposition. He represented Durabla Manufacturing Com pany of New York City, and wanted Goodyear to manufac ture asbestos packings for his company. Litchfield responded to the challenge and initiated the In dustrial Products sheet pack ing department. Fifty years later, Goodyear still sells this product to Dur abla, which distributes it ail over the world in sheet form to gasket cutters. , As department foreman Glen Snidle points out, it is unusual during these days of hectic change in product requirements for a specialized product to withstand the tre mendous competition in the gasket field. _ - ) "r "We've been*ab1e'to <io thi: largely because of pride in workmanship and the produc tion know-how displayed by our asbestos packing emploves," he said.
