PAGE TWO THE ECHO JUNE, 1943 lAFE OFF-THE-JOB, TOO ONE -OF THOSE WHO TURNS FROMTriE WRONG UNE/ Boy Scouts are supposed to do one good “turn’ a day. Automobile drivers are supposed to make all their turns good ones, if they want to stay out of the hospital. The National Safety Council says that the 1942 traffic accident toll was 30 per cent under 1941, but even so 27,800 persons were killed and one million injured in motor vehicle accidents last year. A large share of the deaths and injuries were caused by improper turning — such as shown in the cartoon. When you want to make a right turn, get into the right-hand traf fic lane before you reach the in tersection, signal properly, watch out for unwary pedestrians, and turn. Signal early enough so that drivers who follow you know what you intend to do. For a left turn get into the traffic lane nearest the center line of the street and give the correct signal before you turn. Be alert for approaching cars and pedes- trains. Don’t pull away from a curb unless you can enter the traffic stream with safety for yourself and others. The same rule applies when you turn into a street from a driveway or alley. Turning demands common sense and courtesy. In short . . . one good turn deserves another! Accident Frequency And Severity Rate Is Much Lower This Year BY H. E. NEWBURY In making an analysis of our accident experience since the mill started operations in 1939, it is very gratifying to note that the frequency of accidents is continuing to drop. The frequency and severity rate for the first five months of 1943 are much lower than they were for the first five months of last year, and it is sincerely hoped that injuries can be reduced at least 50 per cent during this year. To do this, it will be neces sary that the same whole-hearted cooperation be forthcoming from all employees as has been manifested since January 1st, 1943 To give you a better idea of how our accident frequency and severity has decreased since 1942, we are listing below, the ex perience of all departments in the plant for 1942 as compared with the first five months of 1943. The reduction shown is well worth being proud of and congratulations are in order for all those assisting in Accident Prevention Work. Just remember, WHEN ALL EMPLOYEES MAKE UP THEIR MINDS TO STOP ACCI DENTS, THEY WILL STOP.

But most im portant to the war are the fighters and the workers. Fighters must keep themselves fit—ready to fight—ready to carry the fight to the enemy. How about the workers? Don’t they need to be fit top—fit enough to be on the job—fit enough to do the job? Fighters can’t fight without weapons and bullets and a thous and other items of equipment. Weapons and bullets and equip ment won’t be made by workers who can’t work. Accidents are a main cause of workless days. These accidents happen in the plant and outside the plant. Your boss and you are both responsible for accidents in side the plant, but those that take place off-the-job are your respon sibility and yours alone.
