GOOD SECRETARY
X'. “I’ve been trying to see you
all week. When may I have an ap
pointment?”
Y; “Make a date with my secre-
"I did, and we had a swell
Ume, but I still want to see you.”
One of the least hazardou^
looking of all hand tools
screw driver; yet this small tool
can cause serious injury to its us
er when abused and misused.
Care should be taken to keep the
handle and point of a screw
driver in good condition. If it is
being used around electrical cir
cuits, the handle should be prop
erly insulated to prevent shocks.
Ribbed or serrated points are
advantageous in preventing slip
ping of the tool on the inner sur-
face of the screw slot
Using a screw driver for a pur
pose other than which it is in
tended can cause the handle to
split and the point to become worn
and rounded—all of which adds
up to injury to the workers!
Screw drivers should be re
shaped, as soon as it becomes nec
essary, on a grinding wheel. Be
particularly careful, however, that
the metal does not become over-
heated when reshaping.
Another harmless looking tool
that can bring about injury to its
user, is the pliers. This is partic
ularly true in working on electri
cal circuits and in cutting wire
under tension. Adequate insulation
should be provided, and proper
precautionary measures should be
understood and practiced.
The jaws must be hard and
wear-resisting, and handles should
be tested and certified for strength
in bending stress. Lubricate the
movable parts of pliers regularly.

During the past few months here
at Ecusta, Champagne and End
less Belt, several injuries have re
sulted from the very bad habit of
UNSAFE PRACTICES. At least
two of these injuries have been
very serious and one of them could
easily have resulted in a fatality.
It is an accepted fact that no
person purposely gets hurt and it
stands to reason that the injured
employee is the one who suffers
most, not only from the standpoint
of pain, but from the loss of wages
as well. Too, things never run
smoothly at home when the bread
winner is disabled and the house
hold expenses are still going. To
lose one day from work often dis
rupts the family budget.
Listed below, you will find nu
merous UNSAFE PRACTICES
that occur throughout the mill
daily and your co-operation is so
licited in eliminating these haz
ards immediately. Without your
full support, it cannot be done.
1. Running in the mill and to
the cafeteria at lunch time.
2. Failing to use personal pro
tectivQ equipment, such as gog
gles, gas masks, rubber gloves
when handling caustic or acids,
safety belts, safety caps and nu
merous other articles furnished
by the company.
3. Too much haste in going
up and down stairways.
4. Riding on hand and lift
trucks, especially on the plat
forms. , „
5. Leaving items on the floor
that create a tripping hazard.
6. Wrestling with or punching
someone who is ticklish.

A LITTLE LOGie
A disreputable bum approached
a man on the avenue, asking him
for half a dollar to buy something
to eat. “Tell you what 111 do,
said the man, “I’ll '^'^y *
drink.” . j
“No thanks,” persisted the down-
and-outer, “just give me^^ fifty
cents for something to eat.
“Here, have a cigar,” offered
the other.
“All I want is something to eat,
pleaded the panhandler, “no ci-
gar.”
“Look,” offered the guy with
the money, “I know some nice
girls. I’ll phone them and mke
a date, and we can have some fun.
“Please, mister,” begged the
hobo, “all I want is something to
eat—just a half a dollar’s worth.
“Okay, I’ll give you the money
if you’ll come home with he.’
“Why should I come home with
you,” asked the moocher. ^
“Because,” was the retort,
want to show my wife what hap
pens to men who don’t dri^,
smoke or go out with women.
HE’S STILL WINNING
A drunk stagger^l auto
mat, put two nickels into a slot,
and watched in astonishment as
out came a piece of cherry pie. He
put in two more nickels and out
came another piece; then he con
tinued to feed in more nickels un
til he had almost a dozen pieces
of cherry pie, when one of the at
tendants asked him, “Don’t you
think you had better stop now?
“What!” cried the drunk, “quit
now . . ■ when I’m still winning!”
