Employees Urged to Watch
Department Contest Standing
Six Departments Stand to Participate in Prizes
If Present Record Maintained
If someone asks you how your department stood in the Safety
Contest for your mill, could you tell them? This is a matter that
concerns every employee in every department because the winning
or losing of the department contest means the differnce between
getting or losing valuable employee prizes to be distributed the last
of August B
This contest to see which de
partment could improve its last
year's record the most in each
mill will definitely show where
teamwork and interest in safety
has been the most active. Every
one wants to be a winner, but
unless YOU as an individual
watch the blue prints on the
bulletin and know how
your department stands in this
contest, you can't very well be
come enthusiastic and get your
fellow worker to finish the con
test without an accident.
New standings are now on the
bulletin boards. If your depart
ment is not on top it is time that
you and your fellow employees
get together and really pull your
department out of the red. If you
are on top keep your record good
by continuing safe practices. RE
MEMBER SAFETY is its own re
ward.
The purpose in any contest is
to develop interest and the prizes
run into several hundreds of dol
lars in this case. Show your in
terest by talking and working
safety in order that we may jus
tify these contests individually in
the future.
The present standings in the
Department Safety Contest are as
follows:
