NOVEMBER, 1959 WEAVING NO. 1 1st Shift By Sudie Putnam Interesting talks on safety this month were made by Oscar Kinard and Edna Terrv. Oscar talked on the importance of reporting minor injuries immediately to your supervisor. Edna made her talk which reads as follows: S?is for safety. Let's all be sure we practice safety every way possible. A?is for accidents. We should all try to avoid accidents by being careful and thoughtful as we go about our work. F?is for facts. It is a fact known to us all that accidents can happen to all of us. Mr. Cole has told us how many lost time accidents we have had this year and how much it cost the company. It also cost the employee in many ways. E is for endeavor. We should all endeavor to do our very best in trying to make our department a safe place in which to work. Be sure to watch for wet and oilv spots on the floor, quills, screws and all other objects. T is for teamwork. If we all work together as a team I am sure there will be fewer causes for accidents. Y?is for you. You as an individual can stop, look and listen when we enter the gate every day and be sure to practice safety todav. SAFETY DAYS (To the tune of School Days) Safety Sa fety Safety is for one and all. Lillian and Alta and Edna too; Weavers, loom fixers and hour hands too.
