Wool Carding Sets New Record
Employees of the Wool Carding De
partment at the Blanket Mill have set a
new safety record for the department
by working over three years without a
lost-time accident. This is believed to be
an all-time record.
F. H. Minter, foreman, who has been
in the department 35 years, says it is
the best record he remembers. He gives
credit to the employees who he said are
very safety-conscious and take pride in
their ability to work safely.
“By working together on 'the preven
tion of accidents, by the elimination of
unsafe conditions and by continuing to
emphasize safe work habits, the depart
ment has been able to achieve this good
record for the past three years. We hope
to continue it for a longer period,” Mr.
Minter said.
“V/e talk to some employee every day
concerning safety, particularly urging
them io avoid taking chances of any
kind and stressing the importance of
keeping their hands clear of moving
machinery.”
