Central Warehouse Given Safety Barbecue
R. H. TUTTLE
To Preside At Clinic .
Employees of the Central Warehouse
have worked over a million and a quart
er man-hours without a disabling in
jury. The last lost-time accident oc
curred September 27, 1956—over 3%
years ago.
As an award from the Company for
having operated all of 1959 without any
lost time due to injury, the employees
were given a barbecue dinner in the mill
Wednesday, May 11. The barbecue,
“hush puppies,” slaw and cold drinks
were served to all employees at their
noon lunch period.
In recognition of their perfect re
cord during 1959, the employees of the
Central Warehouse are to receive an
Award of Merit from the National Safe
ty Council. The award is to be present
ed later.
John S. Eggleston, superintendent of
Central Warehouse, in commenting on
the mill’s safety record said; “Safety has
an important place in our operations
at Central Warehouse. While records,
awards and barbecues are fine and we
enjoy them, our real objective is to pre
vent suffering and lost time resulting
from injuries.
“I want to congratulate the emjiloyees
of the Central Warehouse for their out
standing performance in safety work
and to thank them for their interest
and cooperation in helping to prevent
injuries. We hope to add many more
man-hours to our present record.”
There were indicationes that interest
in safety remains high at Central Ware
house with emphasis being placed on
the observance of all safety rules, the
reporting and prompt correction of un
safe conditions and the elimination of
unsafe acts on the part of individuals.
