S. Baucom, safety superintendent of the North Caro lina Industrial commission. Fifty-five of the employees re ceived certificates for the comple tion of the course, 33 for ho lost time accidents in five years, 29 for no lost-time accidents in 10 years, and 46 received certificates showing that they had had no lost-time accidents in 15 years. Mr. Baucom lectured daily, us ing films issued by the National Safety council, and led discussions on safety in the plant as well as safety in and around the home and on the highways and streets. The last program, held on Fri day afternoon, featured a talk and a film stressting the importance of accident prevention outside the plant. Mr. Baucom emphasized the importance of a "sustained safety prcgram instead of a program that surges for a while, then gives out." I The safety official stated that too many parents ignore the im portance of teaching the basic rules of safety to their children and, in many case.-, do not follow safety measures themselves, adding that it is far cheaper to maintain a sus tained safety program and de crease accidents than to keep pay ing an enormous sum annually as a result of accidents. Paul Ellis, plant manager, | awarded the certificates and ex pressed gratitude to Mr. Baucom I for "being a good teacher." i The safety course was arranged I by Reginald Rolland, personnel ; manager and E. L. Hooper, safety j Elements that later made up the Seventh Army spearheaded the successful invasion of North Af rica, the first blow struck by American fighting men against i Hitler.
