June has been decl-
ared “Hire a Veteran
Month” in a proclama-
tion signed by Palacios
Mayor Leonard Lamar.
June 27th is the 40th
Anniversary of the Veter-
ans Preference Act sign-
ed by President Franklin
D. Roosevelt on June 27,
1944. Many war veterans
have obtained employ-
ment with federal, state
or city governments and
in the private sector as
the result of federal,
state or city Veterans
Preference Acts and vet-
eran hiring policies. The
unemployment rate of
veterans, especially dis-
abled veterans, is some-
what higher than the
non-veterans employme-
nt rate.
Congress enacted the
Emergency Veterans’ J-
ob Training Act of 1983
that provides eligible em-
ployers can be reimbur-
sed 50 percent of the
starting wages paid to
eligible Korean and Viet-
nam veterans if employ-
ers provide on-the-job
training for such veter-
ans.
All employers are urg-
ed to list their job open-
ings or participate in the
Emergency Veterans’ J-
ob Training Act of 1983
by calling the local Texas
Employment Commissi-
on office.

The Du Pont Com-
pany has become a lead-
ing supplier to North Am-
erica’s polyethylene mar-
kets with the opening of
its 440-million-pound-per
year high density poly-
ethylene (HDPE) manu-
facturing facility in Mata-
gorda County, Chairman
Edward G. Jefferson said
Thursday at the plant’s
dedication.
The Matagorda plant
will produce "Alathon”
polyethylene resins for
use in food containers,
household detergent and
chemical packaging, pai-
ls and high-strength film
products.
“With the start-up of
this plant, Du Pont be-
comes North America’s
most diversified linear
polyethylene supplier-a-
nd in terms of volume-
the second largest supp-
lier in the hemisphere,”
Jefferson told the 200
business, civic, comm-
unity, and political lead-
ers who attended cerem-
onies dedicating the new

plant to retired Conoco
deputy chairman John E.
Kircher. Kircher played a
key role in the develop-
ment of the Matagorda
facility.
“In the next few mon-
ths . DuPont’s broad
HDPE product line will
be further expanded by
the new line of HDPE
resins made here, which
will have properties un-
matched by any other
U.S. supplier,” Jefferson
sftid-
Using advanced HDPE
technology developed by
Nissan Chemical Indus-
tries Ltd. of Japan, Du
Pont’s new blow molding
resins will allow light-
weighting with material
savings iff bp to 15
percent. Du Pont’s injec-
tion molding resins will
improve cycle times up to
10 percent, and its film
resins will offer the stre-
ngth, quality and flex-
ibility needed to capita-
lize on the trend toward
thinner films.
Matagorda is the com-
pany's eighth Texas pla-
nt. The plant has 140
employees and an annual
payroll of more than $3
million. a.
Du Pont V North Am-
erican polyethylene cap-
acity is now about 1.4
billion pounds. Du Pont
also produces polyethy-
lene at Orange and Vic-
toria and Du Pont Can-
ada makes the product at
Sarnia, Ontario.
When malted milk was first
invented, it was known as
Diastoid. The year was 1882.
