Caution, Spring Ahead ar f We are nearing the time of year when our personal safety plays a very large role in our everyday lives the time of year when we begin to desire to get outside and start our yard work; when the urge to get out the golf clubs or head for the mountains causes us to look wistfully from the windows and daydream a bit about the coming summer. Yes, the call of the beautiful, great American outdoors is beginning to reach into every person's heart and make his mind wander a little. Be careful! Many is the daydream that has ended in maimdeath. Mistakes thrive in an environment such as this. Posor ing sibly they will be clerical mistakes which are and costly or, if you are working around machinery" or driving, they can - and will - be deadly. How many stop foremen have heard the phrase, "I was thinking of something else'', as he performs emergency first aid on a mangled or burned hand? How many highway patrolmen have heard a driver say,' "I just didn't see him", as he looks down on someone who has been injured or killed? The foreman and the patrolman know that if these people had had their mind on the task which they were performing physically, their accidents would have been avoided. So, at this time of year when we are more susceptible to our daydreams and the daydreaming of others, let us resolve to be more careful. Let us not lose our respect for machinery and, when we are driving, let us be especially vigilant. There are patches of nearly invisible black ice on the highways from dusk to dawn waiting for the unwary. One other task we can do before spring is here is to get our summer tools ready for use. Get that lawnmower, clipper, and. edger out of the shed and have them sharpened. A dull or inferior tool is a dangerous tool. Spring is coming - so let's be ready to enjoy it in as safe a way as possible! .time-consumi- SHORT TAKES . . The National RECEIVES AWARD - Specialist Fourth Class Michael B.
