When Midnight Strikes . . Efforts Must Be Doubled To
Reduce High Accident Rate136 Lost TimeCases In 1950At the company's Annual
Safety Meeting held recentlyat the Community Club withJack Rodgersoii presiding, itwas learned that there was anincrease of 45 percent in ac-cidents during the year 1950over the previous year. It wasreported by Dr. Arnold Han-son, Director of Company Re-lations, that 136 lost-time ac-cidents had taken place in ourplants during the past yearwhile the lost-time accidentsexperienced durin^JL949 only
~lblalled 94.
There will be horns and confetti on New Year's Eve; gayparties and laughter — and then the morning after.
Likewise, there will be solemn services in churches, and ser-mons and prayers, as another and new calendar year is givenus for what we will make of it.
This is as it should be, for this is free America, a land ofindividuals who may work or play or worship where and whenthey choose — unregimented.
But on that stroke of midnight, wherever we may find our-selves, let us each individually pause if but for an instant and,reflecting why all this is so, give thanks for our freedom. Let useach resolve to cherish it anew this New Year and in all theyears that will come — and united, labor and management andAmericans all, work for and defend it as never before.
Administrative OfficesShow Increase In Ratings
S44,000 in WagesDr. Hanson's startling inter-
pretation of the past year'slost-time accidents revealedthat the total number of dayslost amounted to 4,.298. this, hesaid,, is equivalent to "shuttingdown the new Kraft Mill for 67days." He further revealedthat this lost time amountedto $44,000 in wages (based onthe average hourly rate), partof which affects the injuredman's family and the com-munity in general.
Unsafe ActsEighty-five percent of these
accidents were due to unsafeacts on the part of the indi-vidual. The remaining 15 per-cent, due to unsafe conditions,have already been improvedor are being investigated forimprovement.

Bond Buying Program MaySoon Go "Over The Top"
President L. F. Whittemoresaid today that the currentnational effort to increaseparticipation in the U. S. Sav-ings Bends payroll savingsplan would be a success ifthe results obtained in BrownCompany were typical.
Many Buying Bonds"Nearly half of our em-
ployees are signed up to buyUnited States Savings Bonds.This figure is expected to in-crease substantially and putBrown Company 'over the top'during our Payroll SavingsCampaign. We now have 43percent of our employees en-rolled on the bond-buyingplan, thanks to the fine co-operation of all concerned."
"In these times when the
responsibility of citizenship isof special concern to all of us,buying bonds is one of theways to demonstrate goodcitizenship," he commented.
A Worthy EffortMr. Whittemore said that
the reasons given by his com-pany's employees for buyingbonds were to build "spiritualas well as material resources— education funds, home-building f u n d s , retirementprograms."
"I think that the TreasuryDepartment's campaign to getmore firms to sell bonds tomore employees where theywork is a worthy effort anddeserves the support of em-ployees a n d e m p l o y e r sthroughout the state of NewHampshire," he said.
Twenty-Eight Tree FarmsEvidence of Improvement
With the recent certifica-tion of 28 Tree Farms, NewHampshire gave concrete evi-dence of her interest in theimprovement and perpetua-tion of her forest resources.
This program encouragednationally by the AmericanForest Products Industries andsponsored locally by the Socie-ty for the Protection of NewHampshire Forests, is designedto give public recognition for
a good job of woodland man-agement carried out on pri-vate lands.
Huge ForestlandWith over 80 percent of its
area in forestland New Hamp-shire has good reason to beinterested in her forestryfuture. Over 150,000 acres ofthis forestland are owned byBrown Company.

Pointersfrom
Portland— By DORIS E. SMITH
As we come to the end ofone calendar year and to thebeginning of a new one, thisseems to me to be an ap-propriate time to express myappreciation to you readerswho have been so kind as tosend along various suggestionsand pointers to be used in thiscolumn. These all help great-ly, and I hope you'll continueto send them along to me.
— o —Each January many depart-
ment stores feature "WhiteSales." Very oiten there aresome real bargains includedamong the items on sale. How-ever, it is well worth while toknow enough about the articleyou want to buy to be able totell whether it is a bargain,or not.
oSince sheets will be among
the items featured duringthese sales, here are a fewsuggestions as to what to lookfor when buying them. Thesesuggestions came from theP e p p e r e 11 ManufacturingCompany, so you know youcan rely on the informationgiven.
First of all, look for thebrand name you can trust.
Learn to know the differenttypes of sheets: finest all-combed-yarn percale, regularpercale, luxury muslin, utilitymuslin. Compare all four kindsto get the right sheet, at theright price, for every bed inyour house.
Look at the thread count,which tells the number of cot-ton threads per inch length-wise and crosswise.
Read the tensile strength,which is the number of poundsstrain either warp or fillingthreads w i l l stand beforeb r e a k i n g . High t e n s i l estrength in the threads makesfor a strong sheet.
Stretch sheet tightly be-tween your hands and hold itto the light. The fabric shouldbe closely woven. A loosely
woven sheet wears b a d l y ,wrinkles, and soils easily. Be-ware, too. of sheet threadswhich show knots, unevennessor pucker, or missing warpthreads.
Hold sheet flat on a levelwith your eye. Look forsmooth, flat finish, with verylittle fuzz.
Look for small stitchesalong the hem, caught secure-ly at both ends of the hem.Look at the tailoring detail.Hems should be smooth, flat,neat; never puckered.
''Sizing" is a special kind ofstarch added to warp yarnsin all sh3ets to protect theyarns as the shuttle goes backand forth in the loom. Someinferior sheets are given anoverdose of starch, or chinaclay, to fill up a loosely wovenfabric. Such sheets turn sleazyat the first washing. You cantell by rubbing parts of thesheet together. No fine powdershould come off on your hands.
Look closely at the selvage.It should be finely woven, withtapelike sturdiness.
Sheets should be torn in theproper sizes. Sheets that arecut won't keep their shapeafter laundering.
oNow that you know what to
look for when buying sheets,don't forget that it is well toknow the proper sizes youneed for each bed. Measurethe length and width of thebed and the thickness of yourmattress. Your salesclerk willthen be able to help you pickthe proper size.
Good luck to those of youwho go bargain-hunting forsheets during the White Salesand a Happy New Year to allof you.
There were some 30,000polio patients from past yearswho still needed some assis-tance for care last year. Giveto the March of Dimes to pro-vide for tomorrow.

Tall Tales From Tree FarmsContinuedfrom One
by Jack RodgersonIn 1534, Jacques Cartier
sailed up the St. LawrenceRiver and when he returnedhome he told the folks hethought he was on a shortroute to distant Cathay —(China to youse).
"Wrong-Way" Corrigan flewto Ireland when he said thathe intended to fly to Friscoor some other place out west.He gave for his excuse the fact that he didn't compensate forhis compass.
Problems in navigation are baffling and the methods em-ployed are various and sundry. Some of the intricate methodsinvolve land inductor, celestial, and the use of the sextant plusa few mathematical equations and the observer can figureout just where he is and ought to be.
Others use the old trial and error method — "dead reckon-ing." Whatever navigational method is used it is suggestedthat one of the first necessities is to plot a course beforehandand work out in advance the possibility of eliminating anyhazard which will tend to alter the course.
All of these intricate problems mentioned are not confined,however, to the sea or aviation. There are times when the "goin*gets tough" right in our own bailiwick. It can happen to anyone of us and it did:
Howard Williams, one of our qualified, industrious, WoodsDepartment Storehouse boys, a man of regular habits, recentlypurchased a new and modern home in the residential sectionof Gorham. We have learned that since then, he has had dif-ficulty navigating to the new location.
The other day, Mr. Williams left for home as usual and withthe cares of the day plus those of the world at large on hismind, he drove on, oblivious of his destination, turned into thedriveway, up to the door and upon entering,, made the remarkto himself: "Ah! We have company for tea."
He was greeted cordially, even requested to join the strangers.Then it struck him like a ton of bricks. He, like a faithful ser-vant, had returned to his former home in anticipation of a hotmeal and the comforts of home. He didn't find them.
As a reminder, we respectfully suggest that Mr. Williamscall at any local gas station and procure a detailed road mapwhich is clearly marked and defines the routes out of town toother geographical locations here-abouts. Then again, it may bethat the services of a guide or a call at an information boothcould clear up the situation.-JThereJs no doubt that.Mr, WUliamsjffim^oori^bje_farniUarizeiL
with the Gorham environment and adjust himself to theroutine of life in general.
To Mr. and Mrs. Williams, we extend our good wishes for aHappy New Year and many, many more in their home — ifthey can find it.
Doctor SaysDr. Kaschub
Few people realize thatmany of us may have Pulmon-ary Tuberculosis and not beaware of it.
For your information —some of the symptoms areeasy fatigu2, cough, night-sweats, chest pain, spitting ofblood or weight loss.
Tuberculosis is cureable —but like any other condition, itmust be recognized early inits course. In general, anearly diagnosis can be madeby means of a combination of
skin tests and X-Rays ofthe chest.
It is probably not knowngenerally that the state ofNew Hampshire operates aclinic in Berlin approximatelyonce a month for the follow-up or new examinations forpersons with conditions ofthe lungs.
While it was originally in-tended that this clinic wasfor the follow-up of personswho have had or have Pul-monary Tuberculosis — thereis no reason why the expertopinions of chest specialistscannot be combined with theservices of your family doctor.
Appointments can be madethrough your family doctor.
wood wasn't used to makepulp, paper, rayon, veneer,plywood or many other thingswe take for granted today. Inthose early days wood wasused mainly for fuel and tobuild houses. Today these olduses are still with us, but tothem we have added thou-sands of new u s e s . T h esearch for new and betterways to use wood keeps on.The demand for wood as abasic raw material continuesto grew.
Employment for ManyForest industries in New
Hampshire provide employ-ment for approximately 65,000workers who earn about 80million dollars a year in wages.This is big business. BrownCompany rates high amongthe mills and plants whichsupport this payroll. With thesupply of raw material lack-ing or significantly depressed,the effect would be felt overa wide area. This need nothappen if the many thou-sands of New Hampshire tim-berland owners follow the pat-tern established by the 28Tree Farmers now practicinggood forest management.
Each Tree Farmer has prov-ed to his own satisfaction thatgrowing crops of wood reallypays a satisfactory return oninvestment. It is literally acase of "eating your cake andhaving it too."
It's A CropUnder good management
the timberland is cared forwith as much thought andplanning as any other cropdepending upon the soil fornourishment. Intermediatecuttings to improve the standare made at proper intervalsand the final cutting for theproduct desired always leavesthe stand in condition to re-generate and continue thecycle of producing "woodendollars."
Perhaps you or your neigh-bor would like to learn moreof your opportunity to becomea Tree Farmer.
Here's HowIf so, your county forester,
the Society for the Protectionof New Hampshire Forestsand Brown Company's WoodsDepartment all have import-ant news for you. Make an ap-pointment without delay andyou will soon be started onthe way to becoming a mem-ber of America's timberlandowners who now have over22 million acres of privatelyowned timberland under soundand profitable forest manage-ment.
