SPECIAL INTEREST
The marriage is one in which
valley residents take an unusual
interest since it has a more than
ordinary romantic appeal.
Their initial meeting took place
in Australia where Mr.. Eyer, then
in the United States Navy, was in
vitCd for Christmas dinner at the
Leighton home, a gesture of friend
ship to an unknown American
which eliminated in real romance.
Mr.. Eyer was wounded in action
in the South Pacific and received a
medical discharge from the service.
His to-be this fall sailed from
Sidney for this country, nearly
losing her life in a fire at sea. ar
irving eventually after a journey
of a month and a half in this
country, with a happy ending now
in prospect after experiences of
war and disaster for both of them.

Engineer Corps Has
Only Half Accidents
OF Private Industry

The army's corps of engineers has
achieved a reduction of As per cent
in accident frequency and 81 per
cent in accident severity below that
of private construction.
AS compared with the accident
rates for the five-year period, 1886
to 1910, it is estimated that the en-
gineers' safety program during the
past two fiscal years has saved more
than 1000 lives, averted 34,908 lost
time injuries, and prevented the loss
of 6,3O6,374 man-days, with the saw
ing in wages of workers amounting
to SAC, 604, 104.
Regulations of the corps, rigidly
adhered to, require that all lost-time
accidents on construction projects
over which the corps has jurisdic-
ton be reported. The statistics so
gathered, comprising the greatest
mass of construction accident statis-
tics and case histories ever assem-
bled, have shown what practices
cause the accidents, thereby en-
abling the engineers to take pre-
ventive measures.
Strict Code Enforced.
When the army's construction pro-
gram was expanded in 1941 to the
greatest the world has ever known,
specific uniform safety requirements
were established by the engineers
and compliance enforced in all con-
struction contracts.
Outstanding among the require
ments we're those providing for mo-
bile first aid stations; central in
firmaries stated with trained nurses
under the supervision of one or more
full-time physicians on all projects
where a thousand or more workers
were employed; the employment of
a full-time safety engineer on all
similar projects, and the mainte-
nance of a first aid log at all field
stations and infirmaries.
The current program is placing
the most stress on the proper use of
heavy construction equipment which,
although responsible for but Is per
