i»AGE TWELVte THIE ECHO December, 1946 fcei Champagne And Endless Belt Win Safety Awafi (Cd CITATION IS RECEIVED BY PRES. STRAUS Spirit Of Co-operation Oi’ Employees Is Praised By Secretary Of Labor The following letter was recent ly received by Mr. Straus, with reference to the wonderful co operation being manifested by the entire personnel of both Cham pagne and Endless Belt, in their respective accident prevention programs. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D. C. November 29, 1946 Dear Mr. Straus: Upon reviewing the accident record of your companies for the first six months of 1946, it gives me real pleasure to join with Mr. Forrest H. Shuford, Commissioner of Labor of the state of North Carolina, in awarding your or ganizations the Joint Certificates of Safety Achievement. In reducing the rate of acci dental injuries to employees by 100 per cent in comparison with the similar period in 1945, you have made a substantial contribu tion to the public welfare. More over, this accomplishment is a very useful demonstration that accidents on the job can be ef fectively controlled and will, I am sure, encourage other industrial enterprizes to undertake a con centrated safety effort. With this award you have my sincere congratulations and best wishes for continued success in curtailing accident losses in your operations. Yours very truly, L. B. SCHWELLENBACH Such a commendation should make each and every employee of Champagne and Endless Belt justly proud, for it was through their wholehearted participation that such a record was achieved. Let’s take a look at the indivi dual records of each of the above companies. Champagne experienced their last lost-time accident on August 28, 1945, and are well on the way to establishing a new record of manhours operated, without loss of time due to personal injury. Endless Belt has an even better record, in that they have had only one lost-time case since November 2, 1939, and that one occured on April 13, 1944. They were entered in the Annual Statewide Textile Safety Contest during 1946, and received a nice Certificate of Merit for having completed the contest without a lost-time accident. It has been proven beyond a doubt that accidents can be pre vented, and the safety department here at the plant wishes to express its appreciation for the part each and everyone of you have played, in establishing these records. Angus McTavish watched his small son going upstairs, three steps at a time. “Why are you taking such big steps, son?” he asked. “To save wearing out the car pet,” the boy replied. “Good boy," replied Angus, “but don’t split your trousers doing it!” Ecusta’s Basketball Team To Play Thurs.
