So start mking your plans now for the wig event, OnQmcy There's only one sure way to win any encounter with an enemy, no matter how overwhelming the odds may seem to be, and that is refuse to give up. Even when the battle appears to be going fairly well, it does'nt pay to get over-confident, To date this year, "ole man accident" has dropped us for e count of 9 on our lost-time accident score and while the result may be discournging we should refuse to admit that he even has e chance of con- tinuing to take his toll. The most recent mishep which opine in just one day of lost-time ended a exceptionally long run of 475 days lis had been built up by the 'Yoodyard and the entire project was working on its 40th consecutive safe day. This accident ended any chance we had of exceeding this year the 130 day record built up lest year in a single run of safe days and the 9 accidents we now have charged against us for the year gives us the maximum number we can have if we are to achieve the 6.5 frequency rate objective which we set for ths year. What we really need is 95 consecutive safe days without a disabling injury which would put us into 1951 and leave our total for the year where it now is, If every LongLac employee would take up the challenge md work the balance of the year without getting hurt, our objective could be reached, SAFETY IS EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS and when no one is injured every~ body benefits, ] o-0-0 CHILD BY CHILD & CN TECH FIRE PREVENTION
