This session was devoted to the general subject "Health W ork in Small Plant." Chairman Greenburg welcomed the delegates and immediately iduced the first speaker. ", Vs-I Health Work in Small Plants By GLENN S. EVERTS, M. D. Beal Secretary, Philadelphia Health Council and Tuberculosis Committee, W'1 - Philadelphia, Pa. `.speaker said in part: A large majority of industrial wage earners in the States work in small plants; in fact, 98.7 per cent of the manufacturing estab- iints employ less than 500 people. However, it is only very recently that the jjjems, of the small plant and the small plant employee have been given any jn- iye.consideration comparable to that given the larger industries. In a survey of in the United States having medical departments, reported by the National Spence Board, less than 100 are plants employing fewer than 500 persons, and Y o f .the health services are very incomplete. ?t:;now recognized that the development of health service in smaller plants is irimary problem of industrial health today. T hat the need for such service is r ,Ily as urgent as in larger plants is shown by the fact that health examinations P5f.ed V1 smaH plants find less than 10 per cent of the workers free from physical i?' P10^ of them of a correctible character. . ants with less than 500 employees have especial difficulties in establishing medical Cements. They do not have need for enough health work to justify an individual 45 / Ico - LJ' I` ^WENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SAFETY CONGRESS NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL MS Aeronautical Section Officers 1931-32 *^nairman--Lester D.

A. PRIESTER Chief Engineer, Pan American Airways, Inc. |;The speaker said in part: Probably no other division of man's development of tchanical forces so graphically illustrates a conscious and sustained effort to solve ose, factors which affect its dependability, as does the progress of air transporta d o r r It was born and has continued under enormous difficulties. In ordinary trans- we have two primary elements affecting its inherent dependability, the mechani- ,arid the personal. In air transportation you have an added third major element-- , r.'weather. Yet by tremendous strides, and largely within the past few years, the ap lan e has grown from a comparatively isolated experiment to a highly developed ^ "sport mechanism. Here in the Americas, for example, American aircraft ined by American crews cover 54,000 miles of regular airways, flying 24,000,000 es on scheduled service every year, carrying close to half a million passengers and dng every important American city within the continental United States to the liters of industry and population in every country but two between Alaska and rgentina. _ A11 this is graphic testimonial to the progress of air transport--not so much in the welopment of bigger airplanes; not in the improvements in mechanical design, as iAi.;.not in the remarkable advancements in speed; but rather does it reflect the f: 111 ' fore se experie j piloti and then! le ear , _ rse, but5| libria.

Our aim as a section is to make the metal stamping industry a non-hazardous one, he said. This is not a wild dream, because many metal stamping plants are already in that class, and if one plant can so manage its affairs others can do so. I believe that the most important accomplishment to this time lies in the changed mental attitude of management.

TUESDAY MORNING SESSION October 4, 1932 The first session of the Public Utilities Section convened in the Shoreham Hote;, with General Chairman C. B. Boulet, Wisconsin Public Service Company, Milwaukee* Wisconsin, presiding. The Chairman sketched briefly several of the more serious;, problems confronting public utilities in these difficult times. He then asked Secretary^ Howard M. Shaw, North American Light & Power Company, Chicago, to report.; on the work of the Executive Committee and other standing committees. This being! briefly complied with, Chairman Boulet then introduced the first speaker. Eighty-Five Per Cent Supervision and Education Necessaryi to Make Safety a Success By W. O. LeBER Safety Inspector, Canadian National Railways, Montreal, Quebec, Canada The speaker said in p a r t: As men who are engaged in accident prevention work, we will all admit that placing the responsibility on the officer in charge ls a cardl . nrincioal of safety We all know that the officer m charge is not only the keystone of the organization but he is the interpreter of the wishes and polices o the m a ^ r agement to the men. However, we go further than thl\ cardmal/ quls' te.hapni 0^ r that to make this movement a success the vice-president, the prf ldent a" d of directors must be behind the officer m charge. Safety must be sold throughout ^ L to y ^ m u T s te r r f r o m the top-safety, of course, sponsored by because it has been repeatedly said that neither enthusiasm nor support of W com f panv policy will ever boil up from the bottom; if it ever permeates the warp an o ^ woof of any organization it must percolate down from the top. The ranking. e.'i, of any organization must himself be intensively interested in safety work to | and lead his men to earnest individual and collective efforts in the endeavor ^ their own protection as well as for the protection of^ others. o , f :is'^ If anv officer in charge elects to assume an attitude of indifference and r to1see that each accident is reported immediately and the necessary mvestigaUo . conducted to determine whether or not it resulted from carelessness or any other,,| violation of safety or operating rules, and if so, to see that " " ^ " ^ o b l i g a - f administered to prevent repetition of a similar accident, he is not fulfi l g g ^ tion that is placed upon him and can only expect his organization ,to. safety performance. Experience has taught us that when an individual fad , # respond^to p e r n i o * t o r . b M aanndd tthhaatt iiss ddiisscciipplliinnee.. R ^ 'en fo rc T m en t of all safety rules and regulations symbffiizes ^ the devotion of men to their fellows, and justifies the noble resolve to save th , ^ in so far as possible, from accident and death.^ Now, how is educational work best done?

Mr. Scott said in part: Your committee finds pleasure in reporting that much satisfactory progress has been made in the direction of co-ordinating the work of both sections with the view of avoiding duplication of effort and expense and to the , end that the cause of safety might be advanced. The first annual meeting of the Steam Railroad Section, National Safety Council, was held in Philadelphia in October, 1915, while the Safety Section of the American Railway Association held its first special session in Boston in September, 1921. Both of these sections have been functioning properly and well ever since they came into existence, and have been a powerful force in the reduction of avoidable accidents. On September 2, 1931, a meeting was held in Chicago at which there were present members of the committee on relations and officers of both sections.

SCHAD, Chairman Principal, Mordecai Gist School, Baltimore, Md. The speaker said in part: Our committee devoted its first year's w ork to the col lection of lesson plans from various educational systems in the country Outlines or lesson plans are generally conceded to help a teacher in judging the relative value of her unks of activity. Some examples of these plans may be given to illustrate the outcome of the good safety teaching represented. In Plan 1, the learning takes place in the nature period where oxygen as a fire maker is studied in its relation to safety. The technique is experimental. T laboratory method is indispensable in giving reality and meaning to the pupil contact with terms and relationships. The attitude developed here was one of real responsibility for extinguishing a blaze rather than screaming and running away. The second plan takes place in the reading period. The teacher prepares her c h idren for work with the index and dictionary by teaching them how to find in the 47
