^ THE EYES HAVE
IT!
Don’t stop! Pick up the daily newspaper
J. . . your favorite magazine . . . the cartoons.
What’s at the movies tonight? The picture
you waited to see . . . the cast you think is
"tops”.
Take a ride through town ... in the coun
try .. . in the mountains. Try and see those
wonderful views at sunset... the various col
ored leaves that have always thrilled you . . .
they’re ALL GONE.
Friends, that’s BLINDNESS ... fbe closing
in of darkness forever. All that stands be
tween you and FATE, are those precious eyes.
They are not fixtures... they are not guaran
teed to be with you from the cradle to the
grave — guard them even more than you
would the most precious stones you could
possibly possess.
Here at Ecusta, our eye injuries have been
far too numerous during the past eight years.
We say "Far too numerous'’ because the ma
jority of the more serious eye injuries resulted
from the employees not using their protective
equipment. Experience has shown that the
serious eye injuries occurred while employees
were doing work that ivas hazardous to their
vision, and that they ivere not wearing their
safety goggles at the time.
Just recently, an employee came to our
Medical Department with a small particle of
metal embedded in his eye. He was using a
hammer and steel chisel to cut metal from a
drum when this injury occurred, and was not
luearing his goggles. Fortunately, the metal
was removed from his eye without any
trouble. In less than 24 hours, this same em
ployee was doing the exact type of work as
tuhen injured the day before, and mind you,
resting on top of his cap in
stead of being over those precious eyes.
Remember: Total blindness can result
from eye injuries.
