scores of others—not forgetting
appointments with our plant doc-

PROMPT FIRST AID is instru-
mental in preventing many minor
injuries from developing into
something of major proportion.
Notably in this respect is the
constant warfare against infec-

self against needless loss of time
and earnings. Your foreman will

Guard. Shafts

Sometimes an employer allows
a shaft, which is only partifilly
guarded, to remain in service.
Years may pass without difficulty, .
but there is always the possi-
bility that some day a repairman
or oiler will have to work near
the shaft and neglect to stop the
machinery. 4

It is not a difficult job to guard
a shaft. Why not guard it and
thus be prepared for the unusual
and unexpected repair job that
might present a hazard?

During the recital of the stor:
about Lot’s wife who looked bac!
and turned into a pillar of salt,
little Tommy excitedly exclaimed,
“My Mom looked back too when
she was driving,” he argued, “but
she turned into a telephone pole”.

CITIZENSHIP —

“As soon as public service ceases to be the
chief business of the citizens, and they
would rather serve with their money than
their persons, the State is not far from
its fall.”

“The Social Contract”... Rousseat

ITIZENSHIP plays an important part in the prevention of accidents.
Citizenship is the state of being vested with the rights and privileges of a
citizen. A citizen is the inhabitant or occupier of a position in society. In a
broad sense citizenship applies to one’s conduct in the home, the community,

How do you measure up as a citizen?

Are you content to discharge your obligations to your Union by the mere
paying of dues? Are you of any use to your family apart from being the wage
earner? Do you contribute anything to the welfare of your community? Is

the casting of your vote your sole contribution to the government of your

country? Have you performed any acts for the safe

fellow-workers, or do you leave your safety in the hands of the Safety Depart-
ment or the Workmen’s Compensation Board?

You are vested with the rights of a citizen only when you have that
rectitude of conduct which conforms with the standards that regulate human
action. The privileges of society have to be earned by subordinating the purely
selfish interests of the individual to the concern of the common welfare of

Good citizenship by each individual in industry will make happier places
of employment, better labour-management relations, and reduce the threat of

Good citizenship demands action.
