(See Summer Training Page Four) Accidents Reduced We’ve something to crow about! Not since August 13, when Luther Cuddington painfully injured his hand in a chain and sprocket drive have we had a lost time accident at Caromount. Records show that more acci dents occur during the month of August than during any other month and we contributed to this sad record. It is hoped that the worst of the record is past and that we can go forth for many months without disabling acci dents. Accidents are unintentional sabotage. They are real enemies of production and a source of misery and loss of pay for the worker and his family. A safety record is dependent on many things such as: 1. Plant Housekeeping — everything neat and orderly. 2. Good Supervision •—^properly instructed workers. 3. The Right Tool in good working condition. 4. 3Iachinery Guards and safe working conditions. 5. Safety Equipment provided and properly used and ABOVE AjLL, A GOOD ATTITUDE TOWARD ONE’S WORK AND THE IM- PORTANCE OF SAFETY. (It pays to work safely). President Tours Plants President Malcolm G.
