rates is done upon statutory notice.
The law. however, gives the commits

Safety First Facts

Almost twenty years ago the
safety first" movement came into
helnS. 1t was first organized to pre-
vent unnecessary deaths and injuries
and has met with commendable sue
cess says the Maine Department of
Health. In the past nineteen years,
the casualty rate has been lowered,
and more important investigations
and analyses of accidents have been
made to make their recurrence less
likely. Few people realize that the
slipping ladder. for instance, causes
more accidental deaths than any
thing else. and that the most careless
age is from 90 to IS years. .Iore
success to safety first" and may it
continue to be our slogan.
