DON'T LET LIFE SHORTCHANGE YOU—WEAR YOUR GOGGLES ■ Sometimes a man who wouldn’t think of work- ,■ ing without goggles when at his own bench, will ■I remove them when walking through the shop. This practice is o. k., if your walk takes you where there’s no chipping, riveting, grinding, hand tool, or machine work going on, or near other eye-hazardous jobs. Otherwise you are asking for it—for accidents respect no time, place or person. A chip from the other fellow’s work can blind you just as easily as a chip from your own. Even your best friend may be the innocent cause of your injury, so wear your goggles always where there’s even the slightest danger. At trade school or as an apprentice, you spent years learning your trade. You can lose an eye and your trade in the time it takes a clock to "tick.” It is true that artificial eyes are getting better and better every day, but if you prefer your own, be sure and wear your goggles when you’re doing any type work that could injure your eyes. REMEMBER: Blind men, even if they work, can’t read a pay check. In the Army it’s "Eyes right.” On the job, eyes RIGHT means wear your goggles. In the movies, when grapefruit squirts in one’s eyes, it’s sure to get a laugh. But it’s no joke when you’re hit in the eye by a flying particle.
