In Safety We Are The Other Fellow By J. D. Moore Manager, Towel Mill When we see a safety poster, read a safety article, or hear a talk on safe ty, we usually feel that the message is meant for someone else and does not apply to us. This is a part of the general feeling that “accidents always happen to the other fellow.” Until we suffer an injury ourselves, or until we are witness to someone else being hurt, we may give little thought to safe ty. But after we have an accident we then realize that safety applies to us, too; and that to our fellow workers we are “the other guy.” As a mat ter of fact, safety is meant for every one, and all of us are “the other fel low.” It is to the advantage of each of us to build an attitude of safety, and to make it a daily practice to follow all safety rules and to develop and use safe work habits. In a majority of cases an accident oc curs because some worker takes a chance by performing an unsafe act which he knows is not a good practice. Often the act is performed in a moment of haste or inattention. Such departures from good safe work habits, even for a moment, are the cause of practically every accident that occurs in the mills. To be safe, each of us should refrain from taking chances, and should develop safe work habits and practice them so consistently that we never for a mo ment expose ourselves to injury.

A helpful hint to all housewives— young or old, new or experienced—is to loosen burnt and stuck foods from pots and pans by boiling a solution of sal soda in the pot for a few minutes. Then wash as usual. cancer^ Thousands of cancer deaths could be prevented each year if people would recognize the symptoms of cancer and seek competen medical advice immediately. Far too many take time to tnmK over” when it’s a known fact that, in cancer, delay is always danger ous. —' The best idea is to learn the danger signals and seek medical advice at once. Here they are: 1. A lump or thickening anywhere in the body, especially in the breast, lip, or tongue. Any change in the size, shape, or position of the breasts. 2. Irregular or unexplained bleeding from the nipple, vagina, or any body opening; blood in the urine or stools. 3. A sore that does not heal, particu larly about the tongue, mouth, or lips. 4. Progressive change in the color or size of a mole, wart or birthmark. 5. Persistent indigestion, especially in persons over 40 years of age. 6. Persistent change in normal bowel habits. 7. Persistent hoarseness, sore throat, or difficulty in swallowing. Cancer is unlike many diseases which begin with a fever, a rash, or some other definite symptom. More often the early symptoms of cancer are scarcely notice able; with rare exceptions, there is no pain or discomfort at first in any kind of cancer. Proper Treatment At Once A cancer begins to grow in one spot. It can usually be destroyed if discovered in this early stage. It is less and less easy to destroy as growth continues. When it has spread throughout the body, cure is almost always impossible. That is why it is necessary to uproot It be fore it begins to spread. Thousands of people are alive and well today because their cancers were checked in time.

Indigenous to America, it was brought to Europe and Asia during the sixteenth century, and grown in the is lands of the Pacific by the nineteenth century. Varying legends tell of its ar rival. Some credit early traders and whalers, while others say the fruit was washed ashore off wrecked Spanish sail ing ships. However chance its introduc tion, Pacific islands today produce and pack more than 75 per cent of the world’s pineapple. cancer.
