Unsafe Acts
Cause Accidents
How does an accident happen?
A review of our accident
records shows that injuries
are occurring today in the
same manner as they were
5 and 10 years ago. This is
largely due to tne repetition
of unsafe acts and practices.
Nine out of ten accidents
to Clinton-Lydia employees
are caused by unsafe acts by
the employees. Unsafe working
habits can be easily corrected
bv the individual. It
only requires that reasonable
care be exercised. Actually
it means looking out for
yourself and for others about
you.
When closing elevator
doors, use proper method to
avoid hand and arm injuries:
Use handle when outside,
strap when inside.

WHY USE
A SEAT BELT?
Many of the tragic automobile
deaths we read of in
our daily newspapers could
have been prevented through
the usage of seat belts. The
following information, furnished
by the National Safet\
Council is carried here in
an "off the job" safety promotion
for the benefit of all
Clinton-Lydia employees.
Why seat belts? Surveys
indicate that traffic accident
injuries ? serious and fatal
? are reduced more than
one-third by the use of safety
belts.
Chances of being killed are
five times greater if thrown
from a car and injuries from
sudden stops or impact are
dramatically reduced through
seat belts.
The belts are equally effective
at high and low
speeds. More than one-half
the injuries or fatal accidents
occur at speeds less
than 40 m.p.h.
More startling is the fact
that three out of four traffic
accidents occur within 25
n.iles of the home.
Seat belts help keep passengers
from being ejected.
They reduce the force of impact
of the body on any part

tion, when the driver is held
firmly in place by a seat belt
he is able to maintain better
control of his vehicle after a
collision occurs.
It only takes about five
seconds to fasten the buckle
of a seat belt?and just an
instant to release it.
Nearly 40,000 lives are lost
each year because of traffic
accidents. Many could have
been saved if the motorists

This is not the method he
uses. "I hope it helps prevent
this type injury happening

Ago in the
Clothmaker
In The Clothmaker for
July, 1952 we saw headlines
that the Cavilettes of Clinton-Lvdia
Mills had won the
Piedmont Girls Softball League
Pennant. They were undefeated
that season.
Occupation maps of Japan,
Korea and the Far East
were available to any service
man who formerly
worked at Clinton or Lvdia
Mills.

had equipped their cars with
seat belts.
It is the opinion of the National
Safety Council that
the automotive seat belt is
the most effective single
item of protective equipment
presently available to reduce
the toll of traffic injuries
and deaths.

A little boy wanted $100,
so he decided to pray for it.
He prayed for two weeks. Still
no $100; so he decided to
v/rite the Lord. Postal authorities,
noting the address, forwarded
the letter to the President
of the United States.
The President, amused, sent
the boy a check for $5, believing
that would seem like
a lot of money to a boy. The
delighted youngster wrote
