Vol.8, No.38 KIMBERLY-CLARK SAFETY NEWS October is Safety Month October is designated by national and provincial safety associations as SAFETY MONTH. WHY? The reason is statistics show that the month of Octo- ber accounts for the highest number of industrial injuries. Therefore, a special safety drive in Octo- ber can do much to reduce the number of injuries. At the Kimberly-Clark mill in Terrace Bay, as in other industrial plants, consistent emphasis is placed on reducing on-the-job and off-the-job injuries 12 months of the year. Along with industry generally the Terrace Bay mill will be publicizing the October Safety Drive by way of special posters. This emphasis is particularly important with the hunting season upon us. Let all of us observe com- mon sense safety precautions on and off the job. For the hunters we re-print the ten commandments of safety: |. Treat every gun with respect due a loaded gun. 2. Guns carried into a camp or home when other- wise not in use, must always be unloaded and taken down or have the action opened. . Always be sure barrel and action are clear of obstruction. . Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle even if you stumble. Be sure of your target before you squeeze the trigger. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to kill. Avoid horseplay. Unattended guns should be unloaded. Never climb a tree or fence or jump a ditch with loaded guns. Never shoot a bullet at a flat, hard surface or the surface of water. 10. Avoid alcoholic drinks. Keep these rules, and you will save your life and that of others.

McBride and the work he did with the teenage boys employed by the Town on the clean-up program during August. He felt a similar program should be set up next summer as there still remained much to be done around town and it was good employment for the boys. He noted also that Hydro property had been similarly cleared with all homes and yards in trim condition. A decision was reached to take any future action jointly with regard to the town dump area and access road, this being the property of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, maintained solely by them and not at the expense of the town. Notice wasreceived that construction of an adult study lounge had been received by the Centennial Plans program. The High School. Board informed Council of the resignation of Mr. K.E. McLeod (Hydro) whose term expiresi December 31, 1965. Council will notify the Separate School Board to submit recommendations for his replacement. Correspondence from Hon. George Wardrope stated a complete study was being made for the proposed District Home for the Aged, and cost of the suggested three Homes. This, would not be finalized until all were informed of the decision. Further letters were forwarded from Red Rock on the subject.

Boudreau, accepted an exchange of Hydro Storage area for a period of one year. A motion to draft a By-Law was passed by Council accepting Kimberly-Clark's offer not to exceed $20,000. for extablishment of automatic pinsetters, gutters and complete renovations to the four bowling alleys. This sum will be repayable over a period of eight years by virtue of a re-written lease changing the terms from $100. a year to $200. a month. The debt may be retired sooner if desired. The Recreation Committee well assume full responsibility for main- tainence of the alleys. Councillor Fraser questioned the choice of such an expensive installation with Councillor Thompson replying it had been strongly recommended.
