EXCEPTIONALLY LOW
The reasons why the J. Neils
Lumber Company is listed among!
the high five lumber and sawmill
companies in the 11 Western
States having low accident records
were apparent to all attending the
annual Forman's Safety Meeting
held last Tuesday evening.
The meeting opened at the Presby
terian Church, where a three course
dinney was served featuring nast
turkey and all the accessories. The
dinner would have added honors
to any festive occasion, both for
the variety and abundance of the
foods. It was served by Circle B
of the Presbyterian church
Immediately following the dinner
the meeting adjourned to the Mil)
office, where a most interesting and
instructive program followed, with
Walter Neils Vice President of the
J. Neils Lumber Company, presi
dine. Every accident durinv 1946
was 8 discussed as to cause and re
suits. It developed that not one;
accident resulted from defective
equipment. There is much friendlyihoped
rivalry between the Manufacturing
department at the mill an ! the log
ging department in the woods as
to which department can turn
the best safety report. The manu
facturing department has a largeri,
force of men working than does the
logging department but the latter's
work is rated as more hazardous.
The manufacturing department
turned in an outstanding record
never equalled but once during the
past seven years. -The chargeable
loss in man days amounting to 507
as compared with a high in 1939
of over 7,000 days. The 8 year 1945
saw 1199 days lost. There were
accidents in 1946 and 17 in 1945.
The amount of compensation for
>uch accidents is set by Montana
state law, and in 1946 amounted to
$1,236.52, as compared with $5,934.-!
83 during 1944.
In the logging department, em
ploying 147 men there were only
11 accidents in 1946, with a charge
able loss in man days of 297. Com
pensation for these accidents a-!

mounted to $700.17. These records,
like those in the manufacturing de
partment are among the lowest in
the company's history, and the total
loss of man days for both depart
ments is exceedingly light when it.
is realized that 517 employees em-)
ployed in these departments had
a total of 962.912 hours of exposure.
The accident frequency for 19461
in the manufacturing de partment
was 28.60 and in the logging de
partment was 36.23. The average;
frequency in logging departments
throughout the industry is 58%. The
accident severity in 1946 amounted
in the manufacturing department to
.906 and in the logging department
the severity was .978. The fre

An interesting comment
the meeting made by Dr. Cairns, is
to the effect that m iâte years prac
tically all infections are of a local
nature. Throughout the entire meet
mg the responsibility of the fore
indh for the safety of their men
was stressed. Each foreman is ur-j
ged again and again to emphasize
the need of safety to the individual
members of his gang when and
wherever he notes the least care

any other opportune time presents
itself for impressing the need for

EASTER SERVICES
WELL ATTENDED
The Easter Services at the First
Lutheran Church were very well
attended. An appreciative audience
enjoyed the singing of the chorus
f r0 m Handel's Messiah, "I Know,
That My Redeemer Liveth," and the
i singing ' of the twenty-third psalm'
by the church choir. The two)
! songs by the girl's chorus, "Christ
The Lord Is Risen Again" and
"Beautiful Savior" were also well
received. The singing of the song
"O Sacred Head Now Wounded" by
a mixed quartet, consisting of Ruth
Hansen, Helen Roberts. Gunnar
Larson, and Archie Minde pleased
the audience. Much of the credit
for the good singing of these groups
goes to Miss Ruth Hanson who
directed each group.
