among industrial groups as follows:

of the Division Of Safety and Hy

that net gains for safety have bee
made over last February, after max
ing liberal allowance for decrease
accident exposure Much Of this i'm
provement can be attributed to the in
dustrial safety campaigns of state
wide scope which had been in progres
during February. These embrace
mines, oil refineries, oil distributin
stations and bakeries, in addition t
numerous group and community safe
ty campaigns in which industrial safe

of a benefit day of racing for "un-
employed people of the press" on
