It’s Resolution Time

This is the time of year when a lot of people, with the
very best of intentions, are going to be making New

Year’s resolutions.

It seems there’s always the
guy who’s going to give up smok-
ing, and there’s another who’s
going to economize. And, of
course, some of the gals who are
slightly avoirdupois are swearing
off sweets. So it goes.

It’s the old story, though. Isn’t
long before Jim’s back to his
pack a day. Al’s tapping some-
body for a couple of bucks till
pay day. And Sally’s digging
into the bonbons again. ‘That's
life,

One log of a two log turn was a larch, 56 feet long and 15
inches at the butt. It was choked 15 feet from the end. .

‘The turn hung up and the hooktender, 35 feet from the main-
line, signalled to stop. Although this was done at once, the weight
of the mainline pulled the log so that it upended and.swung.

The hooktender got behind a tree but the swinging log broke
against the tree and the end fell on the hooktender.

He died of injuries.

The percentage is good if out
of every ten of fifteen resolu-
tions, you're able to stick to one
during the year. It’s worth try-
ing, though.

When you take pencil and
paper in hand this year make
that number one resolution some-
thing like this:

I resolve to think about
safety and work safely at all
times so that I will not be
either the cause of or the vic-
tim of an accident during the
coming year.

You can add some others, may-
be just for eyewash, but make
this the big one.

DISABILITY
BENEFITS
EFFECTIVE

OTTAWA (CPA)—The $40
a month disability allowance
approved by Parliament at the
last session became effective
January 1. Under the Disabled
Persons Act, some 25,000 com-
pletely and permanently dis-
abled Canadians are expected
to benefit by the monthly al-
lowance when the scheme
comes into full operation.

Although not all provinces
have yet signed the agreement,
whereby they pay one-half of the
cost of the allowances, all have
indicated their intention of do-
ing so in the near future. Allow-
ance payments will probably be
made retroactive to January 1
in the case of any province that
has delayed signing the agree-
ment,
