Camp Modin Boys Planning Hike

A company of forty boys from Camp
Modin, averaging about fourteen years
of age. will go on a four days camp
ing hike from Monday to Thursday
of next week. Among the detectives
is Pleasant Pond. II this is finally
decided upon the boys will probably
go by trolley to Madison, thence by
rail to Troutdale. and from that point
over a woods trail seven miles to
Pleasant Pond. If this journey is
made they will wish to stop in Madi-
son to visit the Great Northern Pa
per Company mill and at Scion to
see the falls and the Arnold Marker
1t is quite possible that they may
pass the night near the falls. A part
of the plan. also is day at Pleasant
Pond with trip to the top of Pleas
ant Pond Mountain. Returning they
may go to Old Point Monument, as
any point which figured in the history
of Maine is of interest to them.

AS a result of three years OF EFFORT
to prevent accidents among its work
men, the Chesapeake and Potomac

safety campaign achieved record
which is looked upon by all industry
as remarkable one.
Three departments of the COM

eral hundred men, had perfect rec
ords in the annual accident proven
ton contest, 1t Is shown in the an
nouncement of the winning dis
tricts, and they accordingly have
been declared tied for first place in
the contest. Sixteen districts of the
company in Maryland, West Virginia
and the District of Columbia COM
peted.
In all of the Baltimore, division of
the company, the number of acct
dents totalled IA in 1922, against
AZ in 1921. The number of days
lost from work by employees as a
result Ol luJuIlOS OA IhO wv ">~
222, which is 4O6 less than in 1921.
In the Hagerstewn district, COM
prising all of Western Maryland,
there were only three accidents last
year, against 10 in 1921.
The company has been campaign
ing strenuously against accidents
for several years and has reduced
them throughout it's territory from
269 in 1919 to ene-sixth that figure
in 1929, Each man of the COM
pany,s plant forces has been in
