An Encouraging Sign

Proof that optimism concerning North Dakota

news item which conveys information that power
companies plan to spend over a million dollars in
new construction work throughout the state this
year.
There has been general feeling amcng the people
Of this state that the next few years are going to
mark a growth and development unprecedented in
the history Of North Dakota. When the public ut-
tiles Of this state decide to invest over q million
in new Developments, it is an indication that this
growth and progress almost sure to come. Such
organizations as power companies are not likely to
invest large sums of money in new work unless they
are confident that future growth will warrant it.
A gcodly share Of this work is to be done in the
Slope country Work to extend gas service to Man.
dan is now under way. Extensive improvements on
the Hughes Electric company's plant at Beulah are
nov being made and others are planned for the
Dickinson plant. New electric high power transmits
sion lines being built east from Washburn and
south from Dickinson.
The power companies are banking on the future
development of North Dakota and more particularly
of the Slope country That they have faith in this
terrtcrys ability to continue its march of progress
is proved conclusively by their work and by their
plans. And residents of tn StPe country feel
that their faith is not misguided.

Safety Conferences

Two major safety congresses held in one week,
one in Kansas City, Mo-, and the other in Pitts
burgh Pa serve to call attention to the siren
uous efforts being made by interested people
throughout the country fer greater safety meas
ures in our modern life. At Kansas City eighteen
local. state and national associations prepared Il
program which covered the prevention of accidents
on the streets and highways, in other public places
izations combined for the Pittsburgh exposition and
convention. The newest types Of safety devices
were exhibited at both conferences.
These meetings and the interchange of IDEAS re-
sulting from them of unreasonable benefit t..
the cause Of safety. They serve net only to in
form those who compose the conferences but the
publicity obtained by the sessions serves to bring
home to the average newspaper reader that some
thing is being done to offset the large accident toll
Of Cur modern life.
This arousng Of the public interest in the hat
ter OF safety is the most important factor in
safety work and it would seem that the bigges,
problem confronting safety engineers is that oc
making safety vir:le topic, active force rather
than merely defensive measure. The public
should be shown that it is necessary to 20 out and
attack this danger actively, and not sit passivcly
by, hoping that disaster will not visit in the i'm
mediate locality of the sitter.
We surrounded on All sides by danger much
Of which is possible to avert if the pubic can b.
made to follow the simple rules of conduct that
have been devised by safety experts.
Let us have safety conferences, plenty of tn NJ,
so that public sentiment for safety can DO aroused
