The safety valve, therefore, in this case would be utilized in the form of a moral standard which should prevail in the factory's plant. "Sense of humor should be shared," Mr. Duncan continued. "In this way a more relaxed, comfortable and safe occupation can be experienced by the worker. "Humor can be found among people of all races, colors and creeds," Mr. Duncan claimed. Continuing, he said that pro- gress, like democracy, is based on family living. "A vacant chair in a factory is like a vacant 'chair in a home. Both are missed and dif- ficult to replace." He said that the executive of a company must know its em- ployees well. For this reason workers who may be in a poor frame of mind, which might result in being a safety hazard to himself and to his fellow workers, could be treated per- sonally in the correct manner to improve the situation. In announcing the safety cam- paign which will begin in Oc- tober, Mr. Duncan referred to the success of last year's cam- paign in which an accident rate decrease of 20 per cent was noticed due to greater interest in safetv measures "We must sacrifice for others to build pr: Mr. Duncan eoncluded I order otection,"
