Applications For Safety Awards Now Being Made | Industrial plants which made ompicuous advances in on-the-job -afety during 1948 arc eligible for ' he Certificate of Safety Achieve ment' which is presented annually ' :> oualifying establishments by the North Carolina Department of Labor. Am. h-:i cement of 'lie opening of pplications for the safety award cover' ng the yttr was made here I idiy by Gcm ?e W Kins* Safr y Inspector npfeuntiiii the Department of Labor in tin- Mur phy District "The Department of Labor is now receiving safety award applications from a number of industrial con cern- on the basis of their plant >alt ly records for last year King .-aid. "Plant officials who believe ? h a t their establishment has eual lied for the Certificate of Safety Achievement by making the -pccified accident rate reductions inav obtain the necessary applica tion blanks from the district office] of th? Dt ; artm : t of Lab >r at j \-*heville, or by writing direct to the Department at Raleigh " Mr. King explained that indus trial plants may qualify fur the -afcty award in any one of three ways. 1 1 ) By having had a perfect lecord of no lost-time accidents during 1948: < 2 > by having reduc ed their .i: lent frequency r.itcs 40 per cent or more below their rates for the previous year; and | '3) by having maintained during j 1948 an accident rate at least 75 . per cent below the State average I for their industry . I "Qualifying establishments which | already have received the Certifi ! eate of Safety Achievement for previous years will not be awarded I a new certificate this year." Mr. King said. "Instead, they will be j presented with a ribbon for attach ment to their old certificate. The ribbon will bear an inscription indicating the number of consecu tive years during which the estab lishment has qualified for the Labor Department's safety award." The Department issues two types of awards. Mr. King added. One type is for establishments hav ing 50 or more employees. This certificate is presented as a joint I ; ward from the North Carolina Department of Labor and the United States Department of Labor, and is signed by both Commissioner of Labor Forrest II. Shuford and , Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin. The other award presented by the State Labor Department only, is for plants having fewer | than 50 employees and is signed by the Commissioner of Labor. , The Labor Department's safety | awards program is one phase of I the Industrial Manpower Conserva | lion Program through which the j Department assisted by a 25-man advisory board of safety experts I from leading industries, is work ing to reduce the accident fre 1 quencv rates of all North Carolina industries, Mr. King said. More I than 400 North Carolina firms , were awarded the Safety Achieve ment Certificate lxst year. f Red Cross Aided In 1948 Polio Epidemic In State By JACK ENGLISH CHAPEL HILL ? Phillip S Randolph, prominent Chapel Hill ; resident and known throughout the state for his work as North Carolina epidemic eo-ordinator for 1 the National Foundation for In- j fantile Paralysis, today issued a statement of gratitude to the i American lied Cross for the i organization's work during the j state epidemic and the program j now being carried out in the convalescent period Said Rand >lph: "I should like to express nr. appreciation for the many services supplied to polio hospitals and patients by chapters of the Red Cross and by the Southeastern Area office of ARC during and following the North Carolina polio epidemic of 1948 "It was always comforting to me to know that these services were ' available whenever and wherever j they were needed. No statement that I could make would sufficient- ? ly express my gratitude to this ' great organization, for without the j Red Cross aid during 1948 the j National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis would have had to fight an overwhelming battle in North Carolina." Randolph wont on to point out lhat in Orange County the local Hocl Cross chapter had supplied through its sewing room, many of the isolation gowns worn by the polio purses and hospital workers. ' The Orange County Chapter, said Randolph volunteered to trans- [ port polio victims in the county to ; ;?nd from treatment centers. This ! work is still being carried on. In 1944 he related, the founda tion and the American Red Cross entered into an agreement where by the Red Cross was to recruit volunteer nurses during polio c demies. This same year in >r*h Carolina, the Red Cross cruited over 1 ^0 nurses from all over the L'n. :1 States to aid in the epidemic then raging. "Without this service." stated Randolph, "it would have been impossible to give medical treat ment to all of the polio victims. This past year the Red Cross sent over 700 nurses into our stricken tate. and without this tremendous help the epidemic could never have been properly handled " M.\ and Mrs \ Hubert Adams and children.
