Safety Dept* Suggests How To Keep Holidays Safe Did you know that there are more accidents in December than in any other month? According to David Pierce, assistant safety director, the holiday season brings more traffic accidents, more home fires, more accidents with toys, more falls and more accidental poisonings than any other time of the year. Mr. Pierce urges everyone to be aware of the extra hazards of the holiday season and by observing a few safety tips, have a happy, safe holiday. When driving, allow extra time for heavy traffic and Tony Wilson, left, is congratulated by W. C. Flake, plant manager of the Laurelcrest Carpet Mill, on winning the safety slogan contest. Wilson Is First Winner Of Contest In the first Laurelcrest Carpet Safety Slogan Contest, the winner was Tony Wilson, Tufting Department. Mr. Wilson’s safety slogan, “He saved time . . . now he’s blind,” was chosen the winner by the Laurelcrest Carpet Safety Committee. The slogan will be painted on the safety bulletin board. The safety slogan contest was initiated by the Laurelcrest Carpet Safety Committee, which will choose a winner every six months. Mr. Wilson was congratulated by W. C. Flake, plant manager of the Carpet Mill, on being the first winner of the contest. slippery roads, stay alert, use safety belts and, above all, make your car “holiday safe”. Have brakes, lights, wipers and defrosters, exhaust system, tires and battery and ignition system checked and in good working order. For a safe holiday in the home, have furnaces, chimneys, fireplaces and portable heaters checked and in good working order. Mr. Pierce urges extra caution in using outdoor lights as they can cause fires. Use lights approved for outdoor use, make sure circuits are not overloaded, place cords away from traffic areas and heat sources, never under rugs, and check cords and plugs for wear, frayed insulation, cracks, loose connections. Did you know that an eight- foot pine tree can burn completely in just 27 seconds? If you buy your tree early, keep it in a cool place for as long as possible. Cut the base of the tree diagonally before placing it in water-container stand. Always place the tree away from heat sources and open flames and check lights before putting them on the tree. Also, keep water in the base container and check it often and always turn off the lights when you leave home. Mr. Pierce urges everyone to remember two special safety tips in regard to Christmas trees; never use regular strings of lights on a metal tree as the danger of shock is great. Use a spotlight to illuminate a metal tree. Also, never use glass wool or “angel hair” in combination with spray-on flocking snow as the combination is highly combustible. Toys can provide another holiday hazard, Mr. Pierce said. DAVID PIERCE He urges parents to select suit the age, abilities temperament of the Infants and toddlers shoiu toys too large to be swal and with no sharp edges, pins or wires.
