Volume V HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA, AUGUST, 1951 No. 9 SAFETY PROGRAM TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS IN ALL PLANTS NOW B EING UUNCHED MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT TO MY FELLOW WORKERS: This fall, every American has an opportunity to stand up for the in herent freedoms that have made our country what it is. During Sep tember, all loyal citizens are in vited to enroll in the CRUSADE FOR FREEDOM. The invitation tomes from such outstanding lead ers as General Dwight D. Eisen hower, General Lucius I). Clay, Ex-Ambassador .loseph C. Grew, and many others. By joining with these leaders, we can help swell the messages of hope and freedom now reaching millions of ppr*oTis trapped behind the Iron Curtain — messages beamed to the imprisoned peoples over the transmitters of Radio Free Europe. Day in and day out. Radio Free Europe carries on a slugging, no- holds-barred war of Truth against the propaganda lies of the Krem lin. It undermines the morale of the Red puppet regimes; exposes quislings and informers BY NAME; sends messages from es capees; and keeps alive the hope of freedom. Last year, 16,000,000 Americans enrolled in the CRUSADE FOR FREEDOM. Their contributions of over $1,300,000 erected the sym bolic World Freedom Bell in Berlin and built a new station for Radio Free Europe in Munich—the Free World’s most powerful trans mitter. If we can win this war of ideas —this cold war—there is a good chance we can prevent a global shooting war. That is why the CRUSADE FOR FREEDOM this year is asking the support of 25,000,000 Americans— to make possible additional free dom stations, so that we can in tensify our counterattack aganist the Kremlin propaganda machine. The 1951 CRUSADE goal of $3,500,000 will permit the building of at least two more powerful free dom stations in Europe, as well as a new transmitter for Asia to halt (Continued on Page Two) Ossie Wright Will Head Up Activities A safety program aimed at re ducing accidents in the plants is being launched this month by An vil Brand. Plans for the program were drawn up following the safety lectures given last month by Frank Griffith of the North Carolina Industrial Commission to all supervisors, trainers and union shop committee members. Ossie Wright has been naemd to head the central safety committee, whose members will be Jack Rives, Henry T. Short, a representative of the engineering departent. Aline Carter, the new personnel director, Herbert Ross, and a representative from each department. Everyone knows that Anvil Brand is not a dangerous place in which to work, but each month anywhere from 20 to 60 accidents are reported, Ossie Wright ob- cidents, the kind of things that can dents, the kind of things that can happen in your own homes, but there are still too many of them for a plant the size of ours. Most accidents — experts like Griffith say — result either from unsafe conditions or unsafe prac tices. The company will do every thing in its power to remedy any dangerous conditions, said Ossie, but since only the people who have the accidents can do anything about unsafe practices, our em ployees must be trained to work safely and be conscious of safety at all times. In each department there will be a safety chairman who will make bi-weekly inspections of their respective departments to lo cate safety hazards. They also will review the accidents that happen in their departments and report to the central safety committee any findings or recommendations they may have. One very iportant feature of our safety program will be a fire pre vention committee which will be headed by Herbert Ross.
