72 1956 Xational Safety Congress strength of mind, and sincerity of purpose to abide by my own faith in the principles of accident prevention in order to help me in culcate those principles in the minds of those who depend on me for assistance and guid- If I become complacent and indifferent to the tragedies of accidents nudge me tack to realization of the terrible tolls levied on human life as the price of indifference and complacency. Hdp me to condition my mental consciousness to instantly recognize potential hazards and guard against them. Only in these ways, can I truly go my way with safety. We receive many excellent suggestions on both oh and off-thc-job accidents from our safety committees. These are included in their minutes, copies of which are sent to os. These are compiled quarterly and sent to all exchanges for review. Many em ployee-made posters come in with the min utes--these are also included in the com pilation of minutes. The following incident is quite interesting and shows sincere safety effort. One of our employees, an attractive young girl, who is chairman of one of our safety committees, heard that the State Safety Commissioner was giving a talk on off-the-job accidents at a meeting that evening. She wanted to attend so she checked with the local authori ties and was informed it would be per missible. She went to the meeting and found a large group of men but no women at tended. She spied a local telephone man from her office who was attending the meeting, and after visiting with him she decided she would not stay, since he could tell her it there were any good ideas ex pressed that their committee could put into practice. With continuing a long range program such as this, with increasing employee par ticipation, it cannot help but result m more people living an injury free life. All of this we' gladly charge to safety. Anyway you look at it--safety is a paying program.
