Here's to Better Mousetraps Some people say that the furious pace of progress causes a great waste of economic resources. Others maintain that the pell - mell pace of obsolescence is what keeps an economy going. Whatever view you take, you simply can't stop change ? nor squelch innovation. The inventive mind will not stay put. It frets and tinkers. And one of the results is product obsolescence. Consumers are bound to benefit. The competitive race iVint nit? tV"ir? minH in one company against those in another company guarantees this. Improved operation ... increased efficiency . . . better design . . . lower price. These are among the consumer benefits that are continuously Safety for Hands i The most valuable tool available to industry is the human hand. No mechanical, electrical, or pneumatic device can perform as many varied operations as efficiently. Without the human hand, other tools are useless. Since the human hand is such a vital part of production. it is equally subject to the hazards of production. According to a report in the National Safety Council Newslnf fnr fKo ?-* vvtvi, mt. nanus ai v niui f often hurt than any other part of the body. In fact, about 26'.' of all industrial injuries to the body happen on the hands or fingers. Of course, you realize we do most of our work with our hands. May we suggest a few pointers on how to protect your hands from injuries: 1. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. A tool that's too light or heavy, too big or too small for the job may cause serious injury to the hands. 2. USE TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION. Dull cutting edges, mushroomed heads, cracked handles, stripped jaws are all potentially dangerous to your hands. JAN.-FEB., 1965 popping up in the showrooms and showcases of America.

Consider, for example, the impact of a new giant on the American scene ? the computer industry. Computers have caused widespread obsolescence practically overnight. At the same time they have created thousands of new jobs ? and the growth of this new V.U1I1V.I AO JUOV UC^llllllll^. Obsolescence furnishes proof that we have innovation. And innovation is the dynamic quality of any economy. That's why the word "obsolete" can often spell "opportunity." So, here's to bigger and better mousetraps! gf w 3. USE CARE IN HANDLING MATERIALS. Wear gloves when you're handling anything that is sharp, blunt, jagged or splintery. 4. KEEP HANDS' AWAY FROM OPERATING MACHINERY. Before repairs are started on any operating machinery your first move should be to the cut off switch. 5. KEEP HANDS CLEAN ? FREE FROM IRRITATING CHEMICALS. Avoid direct contact with acids, alkalies, solvents, cutting oils, and petroleum products, fi. GET TREATMENT FOR SCRATCHES, CUTS. SPLINTERS. A scratch can rapidly develop into blood poisoning, leading to months of lost time, maybe amputation, maybe death. Get first aid promptly.
