SAFETY ITEMS (continued from page 1) In answer to a hypothetical question: "Do the results which have been achieved by this Branch warrant the expenditure of time, effort and financing involved?", the following facts are ziven as part answer: 1. The collective frequency rate of disabling injuries in our 11 member mills has been reduced almost 60% in the four years since the Marathon meeting, 2. In 1948, our mills suffered L447 lost-time injuries, Had this rate contin- ued during the past 4 years we would have experienced 1738 lost-time injuries, If we me intain our current rate until the end of the year, thc actual four year total will be 835 and 953 of» our pcople will have been spered the pain, suffering, loss of wages and other evils which azlways accompany such injuries. 3. It is also worthy of note that our lost-time injury rate (as depicted by the chart before you) has steadily decreased and this year's frequency rate to date of 12,6 is an improvement of nearly 10% over last year. This gain is even more signif- icant when we consider that the rate for all Ontario pulp and paper mills during the first 10 months of 1952 wns 16.7, a decline of 7% from last year's rate of 15.6. L. The collective frequency rate of our Branch now betters the All-Ontario rate by almost 25%. 0-0-0 TEN PIN CHATTER In a closely fought, knock-down, drag- out battle, Engineers oncc more swept the field agninst the Royals to the tune of 4~ 0.

But eradication of tuberculosis as a cause of sickness is quite a different picture, Pro- vention must be carried much farther if the thousands of new cases of tuberculosis which occur each year in Canada are to be fore- stalled, along with the worry, expense and waste of time they involve. The Christmas Seal Sale is carried on to gain funds for T.B. prevention. 0-0-0
