Clinton $10 Winner By Sandra Ivester I think my father and mother should work safely in Clinton Mills because it is dangerous to work in a place where a safety program is not in force. Accidents can very easily happen when no effort is made to prevent them. When we try hard we find many hazards which could cause accidents but we find them in time to prevent them. When you are careless you often get paid back bv a serious injury to someone which may even cost a life. It is not only for the benefit of the mill and the employee. but also for the home. Safety is always important in anything you do for a very happy and secure life. Let this always be your motto for the sake of friends and loved ones. "Always be careful."
