Health Department
Releases Warning
About Septic Tanks
Reports Made of Exorb
itant Charges Made
For Cleaning
Officials of District Health De
partment this week issued warning to
home owners to toe cautious in enter
ing into contracts concerning the
cleaning of septic tanks.
The local health department has
received comlplaints about home own
ers being charged exorbitant prices by
transient or “fly-toy-nite operators”
who have tricked the local home own
ers into cleaning their septic tanks.
Recently one lady was charged $65 to
have a privy cleaned. Usually such
operators are from out of state, many
times gypsies who move quickly te
another community before word gets
around as to their method of doing
business. They too, offer for sale
cans of chemicals at enormous prices.
Usually the septic tank contents is
disposed of in a very insanitary man
ner, causing a health hazard in that
immediate area.
The local health department recom
mends persons desiring this service
to contact local plumbers or call the
local health department.

Four Local Industrial
Concerns Awarded
Safety Certificates
Praised For Outstand
ing Safety Records
During 1951
Four Edenton industrial establish
ments were publicly recognized by the
North Carolina Department of Labor
for their achievements in the pre
vention of accidents during the year
1951.
T. B. Knight, safety inspector repre
senting the State Labor Department
in this district, presented the Depart
ment’s annual safety award to offi
cials of the four firms. Knight prais
ed them highly for their outstanding
safety records during 1951.
A large plant certificate (more than
50 employees), given jointly by the
State and Federal Labor Departments,
was presented to the Albemarle Pea
nut Company.
Small plant (less than 50 employ
ees) certificates were awarded to the
following: Jimbo’s Jumbos, Inc., Cho
wan Herald, and Charles H. Jenkins
Motor Co., Inc.
In presenting tne awards, Mr.
Knight pointed out that the State La
bor Department’s awards program
has been in existence just five years.
Establishments receiving the awards
either reduced their accident frequen
cy rate 40 per cent or more during
1951 as compared with the previous
year, maintained accident rates 75
per cent or more below the State av
erage for the particular industry, or
had perfect safety records during the
year.
The inspector emphasized the im
portance of plant safety programs as
the best method of preventing indus
trial accidents—whether considered
from the economic or the humanitarian
point of view.
“Four points must be considered in
the operation of effective industrial
safety programs,” Mr. Knight said.
“First, top management must believe
in safety; second, definite responsi
bility for such a program must be
assigned to one person in each plant;
third, a plan of safety operations must
be set up and carried out; and fourth,
accidents must be pin-pointed to dis
cover their causes and to find the
needed remedies.”
The safety inspector also pointed
out that good businessmen will at
tempt to prevent accidents both to
save themselves money and to save
their employees from suffering need
lessly.
