Recommendations for treatment by the emyployee's personal physi cian were outlined in the report where necessary, inasmuch as Champion Paper's Medical Depts. maintain a firm policy of referring such cases to the employee's per sonal physician. Recognizing the importance of on-the-job health to each individ ual, this new movement in the company's medical program is aim ed at reducing illness and dis ability, which costs job-holders an estimated five-hundred million in come-producing days annually. By making detailed examinations available at regular intervals to all employees, in addition to provid ing the services of mill physicians, nurses and technicians. Champion Paper hopes to raise health levels, while further reducing absentee ism and accident rates. The Occupational Health Serv ices' trailer-clinics are complete in themselves, attached to the mill proper only through hook-ups to water and electric power systems, as well as to telephone communica tion for purposes of efficient I scheduling. The trailers house a series of ex amining rooms, where the doctor checks the health of each patient just as he would in a hospital or in his own office, rooms where sight and hearing are tested, and facilities for special tests like electrocardiograms. A miniature, yet complete, labo ratory makes it possible to handle an necessarv determinations to I j 1 round-oUt the health picture of the individual immediately, with the findings coded by an IBM sys tem and kept in a permanent ree I ord. The health picture of the em : ployment population generally is | evaluated by company management ; on the basis of the trailer-clinic | findings and other health surveys, such as those concerned with the I employees' safety or working en j vironment. These evaluations will aid a movement to improve working con ditions and to implement correct job placement, while planned health education and an immuniza tion program are also integral fa cets of the new Champion Paper preventive health program A recent survey of some thirty six hundred industries indicates that this type of enlightened pro gram may reduce occupational dis eases by more than forty-five per cent: absenteeism by more than twenty-five per cent, and labor turnover by nearly thirty per cent Champion Paper believes the in tangibles of human welfare, in creased feelings of well-being and job security in indivdual em-! i ployecs to be of even greater value in assessing the worth of the com- I pany's new preventive health pro i gram.

Newspapers Play Prominent Role In Civic Leadership By ALFRED MILLOUGIIBV Executive Director National Municipal League In the long struggle for good government and a competent citi zenry it is gratifying to observe that newspapers increasingly are accepting the responsibility, for lo I eal civic leadership that is peeuli-i ariy theirs. It is rare now-a-days thai a i power - . thirsty newspaper owner will wreck a sound city adminis tration just to prove he is God as; has been done in recent years in only a couple of cities More often we find men who not only fight the good fight in their! news and editorial columns hut | also wear themselves out speaking ! night after night; or who speak to luncheon clubs all over the state to supplement their editorial cru sades: or who never poke fun at | prominent citizens who run fori public office or become civic lead ers Outstanding newspapers and newspaper men are too numerous j for specific listing, In many of their offices hang Pulitzer, George K Hoik. Sigma Delta Chi and All America Cities awards, attesting toi their leadership in community bet-1 torment efforts. i f Instead, they send good men t? > the American Press Institute, to try for the Nit man Fellowships and to the National Conference on Government for what might be' called refresher courses in what's new about running the public's business. i The National Conference 011 Government, held in a different , American city each year by the j , National Municipal League since , it was founded in 1894. is a unique gathering of business, civic and , ' ? ? ' i educational leader* who, in 25 to 30 sessions, cope with problems of government and citizenship for a foiif-day period. I.ast year at Richmond, Va., the program included sessions on "Municipal Public Relations," and "The Newspaper as a Civic Force". This November 7-10 the Confer ence at Kansas City. Mo, will have sessions on "Reporting and Inter preting State Government" and on "The Press as a Commuity Force". The earnest quest for facts and background is reflected in the j growing volume of inquiries re ceived by the National .Municipal League from newspapers and mag azine writers. This is a healthy sign and is 'one of the reasons why newspapers are likely to remain Ihe greatest potential force for lo cal civic leadership. What any self-governing de mocracy needs most is an in ro'-med. responsible, participating iitizertry.
