ton adopted unanimously by the

they voiced their stand in the
following resolution:
I'VE condemn the action OF the
Ford Motor Company in locking
out the workers after they return
ed to work Saturday afternoon
This action was most unnecessary
and the members at the Sunday
mass meeting vigorously protest
the situation being called a strike.
I'VE are proud Of our record OF
two years Of uninterrupted pro-
duction-this in the face of Com
pany agitation. We adhere to the
no strike pledge and will return
to work starting with the earliest
shift.
This unauthorized protest need
not have resulted in a lockout.
We condemn irresponsible COM
pany officials. We will continue
to fight company agitation through
our umpire system and grievance
procedure
The decision to return to work
was unanimous.

HOLIDAY HAZARDS MAY BE INVERTED
Miss Kilduff of State De- partment of Health Lists
 Most Frequent Incidents

Various hazards which may be encountered over the Fourth of July and their prevention were reviewed in the weekly broadcast by Barbara E. Kilduff, Assistant in Health Edu- cation, Connecticut State Depart ment of Health.
 The most prevalent holiday dan gers include those resulting from overeXpoSure to sun and heat, drownings, auto accidents. and na- tural hazards such as poison ivy, Tn most instances, accidents from these sources can be avoided by the observance of a few precautions.
 SunStroke, sunburn and heat ex- haustion can be avoided by re- framing from prolonged exposure to the sun, and from overexertine during the hot weather. Childrer and older persons in particular should be cautioned against over indulgence in any form.
 By following some well knowr precautions. the dangers encount. cred through participation in water sports can be reduced. Delaying en- tering the water until two hours after eating and Investigating the depth of the water before diving in are two ways of preventing drownings and fatal accidents.
 Retriction of auto travel has tended to reduce the number oI automobile accidents, but both pedestrians and motorist must still observe the rules of the road ano proceed cautiously, so as not tc cause unnecessary accidents.
 Poison ivy presents the greatest hazard to holiday hiking or camp ing groups. By taking along a cake of laundry soap a father can bt rubbed on the exposed skin of any one who accidentally comes in con- tact with this three-leaved plant This procedure makes it possible tc wash away the poison before il does any harm.
