B.C. LUMBER WORKER

hit

For the past several years
the sawmill industry has desig-
nated one week of the year as
“Safety Week”. This year the
logging industry is joining
forces with the sawmill indus-
try and holding “Safety Week”
m September 28 to October

y people are working very
hard in an endeavor to make this
particular week a “safe” week,
which means no compensable ac-
cidents to workmen in British
Columbia woods and mills. Much
thought and planning have gone
into this campaign.

The workmen will see films,
listen to speeches and read a1
ticles by employers and promi
nent men, carry stickers and pla-
cards on their cars, and generally
be made safety conscious for this
one week.

We sincerely hope the goal
will be reached and that Safety
Week can be carried on continu-
ously for 52 weeks instead of
just one.

Women Can Help

What can the ladies do to
help with this great cause?

Much more than they might

think, Their husbands’ and.

HELP HUBBY
TO BE SAFE!

By DOROTHY MARSTON

sons’ return to home at night
is, perhaps, often taken for
granted. But so much misfor-
tune can happen so very quick-
ly. Even a minor accident can
be very upsetting, not only to
the’ victim, but to his family
and fellow workmen. Think
how much more tragic it would
be in the case of a serious or
fatal accident.

The ladies would do well to see
that their men-folk have a happy
and peaceful home to leave in the
morning and to come home to at
night. Understanding and co-
operation on the part of both
husband and wife are the biggest
assets in bringing harmony into
the home.

Worries (and we all have ’em)
shared are so much easier to bear
than worries carried alone. A
man can’t do his best work or
keep his mind on what he is do-
ing if things are not right at
home—and that’s one of the big
causes of accidents in industry.

So it is up to the ladies to do
their part in this campaign of
“no accidents’—not just for one
little week. out of the year but

every day in the year.

Remember, too, that accidents
can happen at home and on the
streets, Just as a man is expected
to do your work in the home in
just the same way.

Children should be taught to be
safe—to play safely and work
safely—and “now that they are
“back to school” be sure they
know the rules of the road—un-
derstand traffic signs and signals,
how to cross the street, how to
ride their bicycles in a safe man-
ner — in other words, how to
handle themselves in such a way
that they will enjoy a healthy,
happy and “safe” childhood, and
when they are ready to go out
into industry this home training
will equip them to work safely.

Cooperate!

Let us make this a real “no
accident” week and then carry on
with the excellent work that in-
dustry, labor unions, associations
and organizations are doing to
reduce accidents and subsequent
suffering and sorrow.

Your part is just as great as
that of your husband’s or son’s,
his employer, the labor union, and
the “associations and’ organiza-
tions sponsoring this worthwhile
endeavor.

Manners

The other day I was going through some things that

should have been thrown out

my great-grandmother must have been a squirrel, and a
Super-hoarding one at that!) I came across a mirror, the
kind with waves in it; presumably it had been kept for the
frame, though even that wasn’t much good.

Being human, I looked at myself, and then wished I

just enough to be grotesque. One eye looked a little higher
than the other, the nose had an odd. bend in it, and- the

whole face was out of focus.

there’d been two of us to laugh at each other, but I was
alone, and I got that horrible feeling—well maybe that’s

the way I really look,

Flour.

It got me thinking—I do all
my fanciest thinking when I’m
engaged in routine housework. I
thought about the way things get
distorted; not just the things we
say, that mean one thing to us,
and something quite different,
and probably offensive, to other
people, but the way things that
start out well come out quite dif-
ferently sometimes.

An Example

I ran into an example of that
this summer. I was a guest in
a pretty crowded cottage, where
there was a young couple, com-
plete with small child. They
were on holiday, and they were
determined that they’d have a
holiday. That meant a division of
labor—both of them doing some
things, so that both of them
could have some spare time.
Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?
They do the same things at home,
they told us, and they’re fairly
complacent about it.

But the way it worked out was
very much like that mirror. The
co-operation was distorted beyond
recognition. Each of them was
very concerned about the other
one doing his full share. Neither
of them could bear for the other
to stroll down the road alone, or
stand and talk to other people—
there was bound to be something
else they should be doing.

When the baby cried at night,
they’d lie in bed and argue in
whispers about whose turn it was
to get up and look after her, till
everybody in the cottage was
awake and fuming. The domestic
tasks were divided so scientifie-
ally that it just threw things out
of balance if one of us absent-
mindedly did the dishes out of
turn, or peeled vegetables for din-
ner, or generally interfered with
the program in our careless way.

Money Matters

It was the same about money.
We were not a co-operative ex-
pense system, and of course it

had to be fairly distributed. But
they were so anxious that every-
one should pay his exact share
that it made the rest of us un-
comfortable—if somebody picked
up an unscheduled watermelon or
a dozen tarts in town for a treat,
you could see the cash-register in
their heads ringing away, figur-
ing what they’d be called on to
pay in the end.

It had one wonderful effect.
They left for home about a week
before the rest of us, and that
week was simply beautiful. Not
a word was said, because the girl
was the daughter of our hostess,
who is pretty fierce about family
loyalty. But everyone got very
busy being truly co-operative. We
all helped one another graciously,
we dashed to do the dishes, we
rushed off on helpful errands,
pails_of fresh water appeared
without a soul having to mention

we were short; we did everything

but sprout halos.

The Sour Element

Any co-operative effort can
go sour, if the people concerned
are more interested in them-
selves than in how the other
fellow is getting along. Your
co-operative store will fail if
all its members are concerned
only with dividends.

Your union will fail if most
of the members think only of
improving: their own earning
Power and never mind what’s
happening in other parts of the
shop, or other locals, or other
industries.

Your co-operative common-
) wealth will fail if “fair shares
for all” means fair shares for
me—and nobody else had bet-
ter get more than I do. I don’t
suppose anything is older than
the need for helping each other
but it’s a need we haven't
learned to answer yet,
