safety is to their benefit as
well as to the company's. We
must continuously instruct
them as to the importance of
respecting and abiding by all
safety rules. In the Spinning
Department we are faced
with hazards that cannot be
completely eliminated, but
they are guarded by safety
guards, and the employee
must be trained to recognize
them, with a continuous
check bv Second Hands and
Section men to see that they
are recognized. As to hazards
that pop up daily, our best
way to detect them is through
reports from safety conscious
employees. When they are reported.
a warning sign is
placed at the scene imme.1:

must be sure these hazards
are eliminated, either by our |
department or by the Shop.
The Safety Council, directed
by the Personnel Depart- (

job in their monthly housekeeping
and safety inspections,
awarding a Good
Housekeeping banner to the
best housekeeping department,
and using other me- j
thods of interest pertaining to i
competition between shifts. In
working with them we are
gaining ground in our safety i
program.

The main purpose of travel- n

accumulation of this flv

willing column of air down- fi
yards over the frame thus a
end to cause the flv to settle

raft frames turns more slowly
than those in the creel of (
