Safety Section Head Explains NSD Program Whether on or off the job, safety pays big dividends. That |is the philosophy of E. A. Pal'mer, new head of the Safety sec‘tion of the Security department, who makes the following explanation of the function of this section at NSD: “The prevention of accidents, the protection against hazards to health, against property damage or anything that slows, impedes, delays or interferes with operations or production, and in making vital delivery of war essentials, is the aim of the Safety section of this depot. “To successfully accomplish this will require the cooperation of every employe of the depot. Safety is not ‘a one-man job,’ but a job in which each cf us must assume. our share of responsibility. The successful ac- cident prevention program is the one in which each individual Pear] Harbor.

Because we were great and rich and strong, some either injury or health hazards is a block to production which is impossible to make up. “The Safety department will ready and willing at all times thought that we could live to ourselves alone. That folly, be to died that day. We thought that we were divided. Like in a lively, growing family, where each one wants to drive the family car and no one wants to wait until tomorrow — yes, we were like that. But the isolationist died at Pearl Harbor. With him died the interventionist. Out of that grave arose the man who has laughed at every cocperate, consult or advise such matters and will gladly consider suggestions and recommendations that may help to make our depot here a safer and happier place in which to work and to better success in the war effort.”’ obstacle which has raised itself across the path of men in their long, toilsome progress up out of the dark; the man who tamed a continent. The American. One hope remains to those who have set themselves to desolate the world. It is a hope which would seem forlorn indeed to those who knowthe history of America, but. which looms large to the paper-hanger of Munich. It is the hope that, even now, the rifts whieh inevitably appear between comrades who fight together can be driven wide and deep. The paper-hanger looks hopefully across the sea at men who do not hesitate to slow up-the flow of weapons to those who stand in their stead at the battle fronts, who are willing to jeopardize lives for a few cents an hour. Such men can and do make trouble. But the mighty machine of American industry rolls irrevoeably on. The paper-hanger looks at the men who count their profits, not by dollars. but by millions, and he thinks that here, at least, is the answer to his prayers to whatever demon’ stands, for him, in the place of God. As usual, the paper-hanger is wrong. Like the man who counts his gains in dimes, the one who counts his gains in millions will feel the cleansing breath of the fires whieh were started at Pearl Harbor. He will not escape. Norwill the little handful of men whosit in the halls of Congress and dare to add their tack-hammer taps to the sledge-hammer blows of those who think to drive Smoke Eaters If little men of little minds, little courage andlittle faith can make such serious disturbance in a land which | been responsible for the biggest part in having the men buzz around at their work like they have. In fact, if you have stopped long enough to notice. you will agree with me that everybody has been doing their werk with more vim than usual. there is to be a new system in our method of storehouse inspection which will, in my belief, be more efficient in preventing fire as it involves a written record of every inspection.
