Our 1951 frequency rate (accidents per million man hours) is down to 3.24. We should again note, however, that all too often there is a tendency when things are going well to rest on past laurels, but in this business of accident prevention, the price of continuing success is to keep every- one on the alert and firmly resolved not to teke chances, 0-0--0 STORK CLUB Our very heartiest congratulations this week go to Mr. and Mrs. Gord Conway on the occasion of the arrival of 2 daughter on June 13th, (The line forms on the right at the Tour Foremen's office for an issue of Corona Coronas.) o-0-0 A GOOD GRIP PREVENTS A SLIP Page 3 FIRE SPOILS ALL f. you were to go hunting or fishing around or awey from Terrace Bay, you have a particularly personal interest in prevent- ing forest fires, for it is a well-known fact that nothing ruins good hunting and fishing faster than a bush fire. True, the economic prosperity of Terrace Bay depends on the forests, True, too, unemployment and poverty always follow in settlements close to burned-over rreas, but let's put those considerations aside for the moment, Let's think only of the effect of fires on sport. Let's remember animals cannot live in burned- out forest land - that fish desert or die in the waters bounded by burned-out forests, The birds all die or vanish in the wrke of flames, Let's all decide that we have to do our utmost to protect our bush in or near Terrace Bay from fire; because of their commercial and economic v-lue, yes, but also because fire spoils all. When we go hunt- ing, fishing, or just wolking in the bush, always remember that smoking in the bush is dangerous, so when you smoke, enjoy it, then be sure your pipe or cigarette is out. ALWAYS REMEMBER, FIRE SPOILS ALL. 0-0-0 E.M.B.S. MEETING The 1951 meeting of the Society was held on Tuesday, June 12th in the Recreation Hall, Included in the business of the evening was a decision to hold future Annual meetings and election of directors in Jan- uary or February of each year as this would permit a more accurate eudit to be presented to the mombers at that time, Accordingly, the 1951 Directors will hold office until the 15th of J-nuary or February of 1952. o-0-0 LEARN THE CiUSES OF FIRE AND PREVENT THEM 1 pet ~~ ae HOPE tDonr) | "> RUN INTE gen TH ROSS Ly | WAL | retina
