Local Interest

The Great NorthernS acquiring the best safety
record for 1858 among the nations major rallroaos
is an enviable record.
The GIN employe casualty ratio of 3.13 per mill
ion man hours worked the lowest among the
country's 16 largest rail systems-railways work
ing more than so million man hours In year. The
report lists four employe deaths and l02 reportaoe
injuries as result of on-the-job accidents on the
Great Northern in 1858 as compared with fat
alaties and 299 lostime injuries in 1852 when the
GIN ranked sixth
The Flathead had even a larger share of this
achievement with the Kalispell division from Havre
to Spokane, topping the GINS operating divisions
with the lowest casualty rate of 212-this was the
safest division for employees.
In Columbia Falls Great Northerns achieve
rnent creates even more personal satisfaction.
Great Northern safety supervisor for lines west
of Wiliston is Jack Andrew, who lived in this town
until four years ago.
Jack was active in civic groups and served
on the town council Mrs Andrew taught home &c
onomics in the high school. Their son, Eric was
vaedictorian of his class, and is now completing a
college engineering course, again the top scholar
in his group. The Andrew daughter, Billie 10,
was likewise a talented student.
Jack Andrew was brakeman on the Great
Northern with about IL years of seniority as we
recall. He worked on freight and passenger trains,
and put lot into his job.
Jack had lot of IDEAS and he possessed native
artistic ability He brought back sketches OF trains
operating in this continental divide area.
He also became interested in employe safety,
and drew cartoons illustrating accident prevention.
His interest in safety and desire to do some
thing about it attracted the attention OF men VINO
run the railroad with its $4,000 employees Jack An
drew was given new job helping spread the mess
age of staying alive and well while working.
In the meantime, c. L. LaFountaine retired as
safety supervisor after long years of service, and
Harry j. Surles formerly train master at Whlteflsh
became the new general safety manager for the
Great Northern.
The railroads safety program became even
mora aggressive The Flathead few months ago
saw the new visual instruction car, theatre on
wheels that travels over the system showing safety
films along with pictures and instruction on petter
car handling and service.
The Great Northerns topnotch safety record
isn't an accident 1t is the result OF hard work ana
an attractive program. ...,

Two rails (b) are set into
the tops of the leg pieces, as

The inverted V saw cut in

The whole job is done with
just saw, brace and bit, screw

screws should be fiat-headed

for the side rails drawing p
may be round-headed or fancy.
Screw holes, slightly less
in diameter than the screw,
should be bored to avoid split
ting. Two-inch wood screws
are adequate.

harnessed, waters are backing up
all for a good purpose. We called
on friends in Umatilla, Ore, who
are employed at McNary Dam.
They too are growing balder, gray
er and fatter. But we like to think
of that span in life as the mellow

Sure, the Oregon mist didn't

We arrived in Portland about 4

coast is enveloped in rain and fog,
but what nice vegetation it brings.
Sunday noon we started on the
return, and what an eventful day.
Near Cascade Locks, Ore, we
saw the Union Pacific derailed by
40-foot slide tearing up 400 feet
of track. 1t was a freight train SO
no one was injured.
After having a lunch at The
Dalles we were turned back by
a rock slide of 100 ton of rock
across the highway nine miles east
of The Dalles. Luckily We were
hungry at the right moment, or we
might not have been here to re-
late this tale. BY timing the fig
ures prove we would have been in
the path of the slide at exactly 2:05
p. m. No car was covered by this
spill, but about 100 of them had
to detour, cross the river and ira
vel up the Washington side to Pas
co. Monday found us back in the
old home state, happy to be home
again. Yepl Home Sweet Home, no

also hope Kalispell keeps in mind that Columbia

Sparks Have Fast
Trip TO West Coast

SUNRIFT-Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Sparks left Feb. 18 for a short trip
west via Thompson Falls. Roads
were fair, ice and snow going fast
out that way. We spent the night

you a comfortable bed and plenty
of hospitality for the price of So.
On down No. 395 to Pasco we
encountered wind and tumble
weeds. Once we saw sheep jump
ing over one another, crossing the
road, about 100 yards ahead of us.
The sheep proved to be thousands
of tumble weeds blowing and ira
yelling at the rate of 40 miles per
hour.

lem to find decent room in town.
