Some homes and apart-ments have been overlooked and the city is not receiving that revenue. " SAFETY CAMPAIGN INAUGURATED BY UTAH COPPER CO. According to George Knudsen, safety engineer of Bingham min-es for the Utah Copper company, a three-mont- h campaign of ac-cident prevention will begin May 1 and extend through May, June and July. This campaign will be in the form of a departmental safety contest. Each department will be pitted against the others to see which can turn in the best acci-dent record for three months. The contest will be under the direction of the mines safety de-partment. A large compressor whistle will blow at 10 a. m. and 2 p. m., letting the men know that these hours are the zero hours when accidents generally occur, according to statistics. It is hoped the whistle will make em-ployes more safety conscious. The record of 205 days, or 729,400 man hours without a lost-tim- e accident, set in 1934 is sufficient evidence that with the wholehearted cooperation of foremen, men and management this campaign can come to a successful close.
