(Editorial Note: The following lead edito- rial which appeared recently in the Fort Williem "Daily Times-Journal" should be of interest to everyone at Terrace Bay.) EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS "Industrial history is being made at Terrace Bay. In co-operntion with manage= ment the employees of the LongLac Pulp and Paper Compeny are setting up records for safety, These records are attracting atten - tion throughout Canada and the United States. In the year 1949 the paucity of acci- dents drew this remark from a senior official of The International Brotherhood of Pulp Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers: "The wonderful safety record accomplished during that period is unparalleled in the history of the pulp md paper industry for the first year of operstions," With that as a start the people of Terrace Bay set out in 1950 to cut their 1949 accident rate in half, Results show thet they reduced it by 56 per cent, while at the same time work days lost, due to on- duty disabling injuries, were reduced from 656 in 1949 to 67 in 1950, a 90 per cent improvement, m Credit for this achievement is ascribed to the fact that the people of Terrace Bay have learned tht safety is everybody's business, More than that, everybody is be- ginning to appreciate fully the benefits that are derived from safety practices, It is difficult to measure just what these benefits are. To come close one has to add together all the pain which is not suffered through injury, all the fingers, toes and limbs which have not been lost through accidents, all the extra pay in pay envelo- pes which would not have been there had men been injured, all the compensation payments which did not have to be paid, and all the extra production of pulp mide possible by the maximum number of men remaining on the job. Management and men in Terrace Bay hope to set up even a better record in 1951. Only a slight improvement will place the town of Terrace Bay right at the top of safety achievement throughout the United States end Canade,. All the friends of these Terrace Bay people in Northwestern Ontario will be wishing them luck," 0-0-0 CUB NEWS The regular meeting will be held on Friday at 6:30 p.m, in the Armouries, There will be a Church Parade on Sunday.

Page 6 This subject is one which should be ever present in the minds of Terrace Bay Residents, The causes of Coal Gas Poisoning are: 1. Defective Heating Equipment 2. Poor Maintenance 3. Poor Firing The gas which causes death is Carbon Monoxide. This gas can be released into the house due to any of the previous causes mentioned. Carbon Monoxide's most frighte- ning property is thet it is colorless, odorless and tasteless, and therefore gives no warning of its presence, The only warning that we do have is the odor taste or smell of one of the combined coal gases indicating that Carbon Monoxide is present also, If you do detect the odor of coal gas - open your doors and windows!
