SAFETY HONOR

For the first time in its history,
the Gypsum plant of the U. S.
Gypsum Company has received ma
tional recognition for its superb
safety record.
In Chicago this week, The Ma
tional Safety Council announced

award of honor to the local plant.
This award is presented only

Manager B. E. Welty, explained
that the local plant qualified for
the award because of its low in
jury rates in 1858.

per cent better than it's "par''
rate, and its severity rate was SO
per cent better. "Par" rates are
computed by The Natic1al Safety
