The safety committee in the shop is not working out a fad or a new idea, but is intended to help the mploys to save their eyes and keep their fingers, hands ana feet on their bodies. The worker cannot afford to take a chance, neither does the employer want him to do so. and the safety committee idea has the support of every concern solicitous for the wei fare of it's employees. But they must do something themselves and the most im- portant thing is to eliminate King Care ] lessness
 The motion picture gave illustrations of what so often happens to the worker in the shop when King Carelessness holds | sway.
 William Fitzgerald, chairman of the safety committee of the Richcond com pany. introduced the speaker and men,
 toned that since the organization of the safety committee there had been a re- duction '%/about 30 per cent in accidents
 and they were aiming for a still greater i reduction.

 association spoke brief words of welcome
 at the opening of the meeting. In with its interest in work among employees in
 the shops, the association gladly contrib
 uted the use of the hall. for this meeting The Richmond Radiator company safe ty committee consists of William Fitz. | gerald, chairman; John Johnson, secre. | tary; Patrick Welch, Stephen Vouch l Michael Riordan and John Tefft.

He met Wool, granting through the

with wretched spirit, left the trail. A
fight with Wool the bear was one of
the most unpleasant experiences that
could be imagined. He had a pair of
strong arms of which one embrace of
a cougars body meant death in n
long shrek of pain. OF course they
didn't fight often. They had entirely
opposite interests. The bear was a
berry-eater and a honey-grubber. and
the cougar cared too much for his own
life and beauty to tackle Wool in a
hunting way.

foot had made a wholly unjustifed
misstep on a dry twig, just at the
crucial moment. Perhaps ii was the

driven Whisperfoot from the trail,
and perhaps because old age and stiff
