DEAR MISS NISSEN: Is friend
ship or companionship between a
man and woman a thing of the
past? I am a single woman in
my middle 30s and find it prac-
tically impossible to have male
friends, unless I lower my stand
ards or sacrifice my high ideals
and seH-respect. Unmarried men
In my age bracket are indeed
scarce and when the few ] do
meet are attracted to me it seems
that sooner or later they expect
liberties and privileges that will
not allow. Then and there the
friendship ends, as they are no
longer interested I am conSid-
cred intelligent and though not q
ravishing beauty am attractive
and make a good appearance. I
neither smoke nor drink and my
behavior has always been that Of
q lady. Men enjoy my company
and like to be with me, yet it is
obvious they consider date a
waste of time and money unless
there is something more in it
than good, clean fun. Perhaps
I'm too old-fashioned.

Industrial Accidents
Cut 81 Per Cent Here
In Last 10 Years

By closer attention to accident
prevention. industrial casualties in
the District have dropped 80 per
cent in the last 10 years.
Fred c. Thomas of the Mini
mum Wage and Industrial Safety
Board. gave the figure before the
second annual conference on in
dustrial safety here yesterday.
Nearly 100 representatives of labor,
management and Government met
for the day-long proceedings in the
District Building.
But despite the heartening de-
cline in injuries, $4,000 injuries
among $4,000 workers in private
industry in the last 10 years were
reported. Still, in the hazardous
construction field, a 40 per cent
reduction in the number of acci-
dents was noted, Mr.. Thomas said.
Ill Injuries Each Work Day.
A breakdown of the overall
figure, the safety director said,
shows that on the average Ill
Injuries occurred during every
working day. or one every 4 min
uteS.
In 1851, workmen's compensa-
ton and medical payments total
ing SIS million were paid. This
was a drop Of $4,000 over 1850.
B. T. Rome, president of the
Master Builders Association,
pointed out that while accident
prevention once was regarded
chiefly in a humanitarian light.
management since has learned
that safety measures mean money
savings and increased production.
Lea P. Warner, jr., a safety
engineer, emphasized the need of
management including labor rep
resentatives on plant safety COM
mittees. Millions of dollars, he
said, can be spent fruitlessly un-
less employees participate in safety
programs.
Commissioners Attend.
The conference, sponsored by
the District Commissioners, all of
whom attended, unanimously
adopted resolutions:
/. Requesting the Commission
ers to authorize legislation re-
quiring employers of large"
numbers of workers to hire an
Industrial nurse.
2. Supporting the Wage and
Safety Boards request for addi-
tional funds to pursue its safety
program.
3. Approving continuation of
the annual conferences.
