About the same time that the new

find the dog; but in vain. Leon
went to the refrigerator for a
drink of water before renewing
the search, and guess what he
found? Smart dog, its the only
place to go in this kind of weath
er!
A Minor Scratch Dyehouse News
It is important to report all acci
dents for first aid no matter how
minor they seem to be at the time.
An employee in the Warping
Department knows just how im
portant this can be. While hand
ling a yarn box this man received
a tiny scratch on the wrist. It was
hardlv noticable and it was near
j
the end of his shift so this man
went on home and later applied
an antiseptic to the wound.
The next morning he reported
for work and noticing red streaks
up and down his arm he reported
to the first aid room. Indications
were that blood-poisoning was
near at hand. He was referred to
the hospital where he was treated
and put to bed for two days.
It is easy to see that first aid
attention is important to prevent * *
minor injuries from becoming
major accidents.
