This is the first Safety Award received by the Burnsville Mill of Mohasco Industr es. The Dir ector of Per?~onei Car-- 11 ,i r. Angel, and Kenneth H lliard. Assistant General Foreman >f Yam Manufacturing, attended the dinner. The award was re ceived by Mr. Angel. When in full operation Mohasco employs approximatedy 270 people. Penland Hardwood Lumber Company, with 20 employes, re ceded, the award for the first time. They were one of three lumber plants in the state re ceiving the award this year. The four partners of the firm— Mr. Plato Penland, Bill Pen land, Loy McCujrry and Ralph Byrd attended the Awards Din ner. Mr. Plato Penland, Senior Partner, received the award for Donald Young, Edgar Angel, Chafles Black. Pack row Kay Masters. Frank Phili ps, Boh Renfro. ♦he company Rece pt of these awards by the three firms listed should be credited to the safety conscious ness of all the employees of the plants. It is estimated that a company must produce and sell 15 television sets, or two-thirds of an automobile, or I home heat ng plants to offset a SIOO accident loss. More important than these material items, how ever, is the loss to the employee his treatment and suffering. We congratulate these three firms for their fine record.
