THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28; THE" DAILY "TIMES: GAZETTE PAGE THREE Britain Suggests Economic Pressure Would Sto top War nt Preventive Plan Is Outlined At I.A.P.A. Meeting Special speaker at last night's meeting of the Oshawa Industrial Accident Prevention Association was F. C. Ethier of the Stewart-Warner Alemite Corp. in Belleville, who spoke on "Effective Preventive Planning" as a method of cutting down industrial accident totals. His address was preceded by the showing of the industrial safety film "Blueprint for Safety." Mr, methods which have been used in his piant to combat accidents. He emphasized that the most import ant thing, and the goal of all safety campaigns, is to sell the plan to the employees, and make them safety- conscious at all times. Although his own plant has now gone almost 1,000,000 man-hours without a. lost-time accident, Mr, Bthier admitted that its safety record only a few years ago had been "pretty bad." The change, he said, had been accomplished by a nine-point safety program which kept the employees safety-conscious at all times, 'and which tracked down the most frequent causes of accidents. Focus Employees Attention The first stage in the Stewart 'Warner plan, he said, was the erec- tion of a large blackboard behind the time clock in the plant. On this board was the sign "Our plant has now gone ---- days without a lost- time accident." This drew the attention of the employees to the accident problem, and kept it in their minds at all times, This was followed by the usual device of a Plant Safety Commit tee, which was Stage Two. This at first proved ineffective, but after radical alterations in the organiza- tion of the committee had been made, it became an effective method of forestalling accidents by effective preventative planning. One of the innovations in the formation of this group was the inclusion of the workers who last had a lost- | time accident as a member of the committee. Stage Three, Mr. Ethier said, was "the re-organization of the plant records on accidents. Under the new system, all the records are kept by the plant nurse, and they are | surveyed regularly to find possible causes of an accident, repetition in type of accident, and persons who have accidents frequently. When the surveys of accident records began to produce concrete results, it was time to draw the attention of foremen and super- visory employees to the most com- mon causes of accidents, and to try to stamp them out. This was Stage L Four. After the plan had been in operation for about a year, he said, it became obyious that watchfulness on the part of foremen was helping greatly in cutting accident tolls. In Stage Five the program began to concentrate more attention on the prevention of minor accidents, which . require only first-aid or medical aid involving no lost time. "Every minor accident," Mr. Ethier said, "points out the seat of a pos- sible major accident." An essential element in accident prevention is thorough investigation of" every mishap, no matter how small, Mr, Ethier said. This enables preventive measures which may forestall recurrence of the accident. This was Stage Six, Report "Close Calls" The last three stages, Mr. Ethier said, are less important than the others, but essential to a complete accident prevention program. Stage Seven involves the treatment of a "close call" as if it were a major accident, as it might have been. Reports are submitted on the cause of the "close call" and preventative action taken just as in the case of major mishaps. Stage Eight deals exclusively with prevention of minor eye accidents, which might sooner or jater build up to the loss of an eye through neglect of accident prevention. Mexly of these mincr eye accidents, he said, involve foremen who may not wear the protective gogzlss 2s- signed to them, The method used to prevent this was the issuance of goggles to every employee, with the warning that they must be paid for if lost. Every morning a survey was made to make sure that each em- ployee was wearing his glasses, An excuse for not having the protec- dive eyewear Drought a warning that the glasses must be worn--or paid for. This soon got the em- ployees into safe eye habits, and once that habit was established it stuck, The final stage in she accident prevention by effective preventative planning was dealing with the in- dustrial hazard--the man who, des- pite all efforts at prevention, con- tinues to have repeated accidents. In the failure of other methods, Mr. Ethier said, it is often better to re- move the hazardous one from in- dustry for his accidents could not otherwise be prevented. This type of workman, he said, is bad for the morale of a department, and for his own sake and that of his fellow employees it may be better to re- move him. Inconclusion, Mr. Ethier warned that there was one danger in safety teaching: Don't make your instruc- tions ineffective by trying to get too Coming Events RUMMAGE SALE, -- SIMCOE STREET Church basement, Friday, 2:30, aus- pices the Harvey Hunt Auxiliary.

' (2528) Ethier described practical Assessments At Newcastle Said Too High Newcastle; Oct. 28 -- Newcastle Village 'Council, which also serves as a Court of Revision, finds itself in the centre of a red-hot assess- ment controversy over the increas- ing of assessments by as much as 300 per cent in its equalization pro- gram, under consideration for 30 years. Appeals have been registered against nearly 75 per cent of the buildings in the village, including properties of Reeve George A. Wal- ton and all four members of his council. A large number of the ap- peals were entered by one home owner, Earl Walton, brother of the reeve, whose assessment on his home was increased from $400 to $1,200, after he had made a small addition to the rear. He appealed all assess- ments on buildings from $700 to $2,100. Any citizen can appeal an- other person's assessment under the Act. The fact that councillors' own assessments have been appealed makes the present Court of Revi- sion impotent, as the Ontario As- sessment Act stipulates that no per- son with an appeal before the | court may serve as a member. Court Adjourns As a result Reeve George A. Wal- | ton had no alternative but to ad- | journ the session of the Court of Revision to obtain legal advice | from either a county judge or from officials of the Ontario Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs. Under the new assessment, made by an outsider, F. E. Fenton, Col- borne, brought in to equalize after council had refused to accept a pre- vious assessment, all properties have been increased by at least one-third, with some HS much as 300 per cent, according to H, C. Monathan, clerk treasurer. Under the new equalized system, the total assessment was increased from $304,000 to $465,000, while the first attempt made by the previous assessor increased the total only $7,000. Reeve Walton explained that a levy of 37 mills under the new assessment would raise as much revenue as 56 mills, the present rate, under the old basis. "We know that inequalities still remain but if the people will bear with council for one year, they will be corrected," promised the reeve, who said that nothing has been done during the past 20 or 30 years to have the assessment equalized. Discrepant Figures The clerk explained that one hotel in the village, the assessment of which is being appealed, was in- creased from $4,000 to $15,000 while the same property was sold for $74,000. Assessment on Councillor 'A, W. Glenney's home was raised from $1,100 to $1,700 and on Reeve Wal- ton's home and orchards from $1,700 to $2,400. Irate property owners contend that the assessor did not visit their properties and that assessment no- tices were irregular. "If this new assessment is not accepted the mill rate will be 65 or 70 mills next year," the clerk pre- dicted. He said that $6,000 for a skating rink would mean 20 mills and a grant of $2,500 for a hospi- tal, already approved by the rate- payers, would mean another eight mills. Legal Advice man can appeal against the assess- ments on all residential properties and another agawnst all farm build- the appellants stating that their own assessments are too high in comparison with the others," ex- plained Reeve Walton. "We are getting legal advice on this point. It is understood that the assessor did not visit all properties as claimed, but rather took advantage of the portion cf the Assessment Act, which stipulates that he may obtain necessary discreet inquiry. By this method, saved a 'substantial amount of money, which would have had to be paid for all such work to have been done.

E. Sampson, AR.C.A, now hangs in the Oshawa Branch of the Bank of Montreal. calculated to promote interest in art among residents of the district, also grace the walls of the branch. ---Central Press Canadian 4 Silk Screen Prints Grace Montreal Bank Branch In Oshawa Taree other striking prints, Following the announcement by the National Gallery of Canada that the Bank of Montreal has ar- ranged to purchase quantities of the Gallery's silk screen prints, the bank's Oshawa office has now re- ceived a selection of the pictures. Full color reproductions of inter- esting subjects strike a new note in bank decoration, and will make the office more pleasant for both cus- tomers and staff. One of the four striking prints now hanging in the B of M's Osh- awa branch is 'Veterans of the Sea," by J. E. Sampson, A.R.C.A. The inherent romance of the sea is well-expressed in this vigorous human-interest portrayal of fish- ermen. By contrast, "Beech Woods," by Fred S. Haines, RCA, is a composition of trees against a background of tranquil lake and wooded hillside, in warm colors suggesting an atmosphere of sun- bathed calm. Other pictures in this group at the local office are "Eve~ ning, Nipigon River" by ¥Y. McK. Housser and "Bon Echo" by Charles F. Comfort. In the silk screen process, by which these pictures were made, a series of silk stencils is used. Through these, color patterns in oil paint are impressed directly upon paper. The resulting print has a freshness and brightness difficult to obtain by other methods, and ideal for business offices. Though many' duplications may be made by this process, the prints are not re- productions in the ordinary sense. In designing this series of pic- tures, the artists worked directly for the silk screen process, and most of the prints sponsored by the National Gallery are original works for this medium. In the rare cases where the pictures have been adapted from other originals, the unique possibilities of silk screen reproduction have been fully ex- ploited. The resulting changes in treatment give the prints an in- dividual character. H. O. McCurry, Director of Can- ada's National Gallery, says the bank's plan to supply these pictures to its branches from coast to coast "will have far-reaching effect on some phases of the work the Gal- lery is trying to do." Robert Argo, manager .of the B of M's local branch, is pleased that his office has been included in this scheme. He hopes that Oshawa residents will soon drop in and see the new prints. E. F.

Speeches there were none and entertainment much. For that perhaps, as well as for other reasons, the evening was believed to be one of the best yet held. Garage operators and their wives and friends were here from all over the county. In addition to the Coun- ty Association president, Robert Deverell, of Whitby, two of the Pro- vincial Association's officers were there, Ed Wadham, from Toronto, Secretary and James Robertson, Treasurer, also from Toronto. Both of these men were accompanied by their wives. The evening began with a dinner after which there was a cabaret with entertainers from Toronto, All this was followed by a dance. Art Clarke, of the Ontario Motor Sales, was master of ceremonies at the affair. At the dance there were spot dances and special prizes for the ladies. Flowers were provided for the tables by Claralee. Elmecroft Farm Sold 3 Beasts In Toronto Sale Oshawa's Elmcroft Farms re- ceived good prices at the sixth an- nual All-Canadian Holstein Sale held in Toronto on Monday. Besides receiving top price of $9,400 for the bull calf Elmcroft Heritage, Elm- croft Farms sold the second highest priced female, receiving $4,000 from Cashman Farms, Hopewell Junc- tion, N.Y. for the three-year-old heifer Elmcroft Hiemke Monogram which won first prize as a two- year-old at the Peterborough Championship shew in 1947. Elm- croft Farms also received $1,575 from Watson Brothers of King for a bred heifer. Other district breeders who ob- tained good prices at the show are James T. Brown, Newcastle, who received $1,750 for a three-year-old from Harold James of Sarnia and Thomas Flett and Son, Oshawa, who received $825 from D. W. Shively, Springfield, Ont., for a bred heifer. O. E. Croxall of Port Perry paid $1,500 to A. Seiling of Elmira for a bull calf and J. E. Holtby and Son of Port Perry paid G. A. Hogg of Thamesford $975 for a bred heifer.

China Supports UK Plan For Palestine Settling Clash Paris, Oct. 28 (CP)--Britain and China suggested today that the United Nations Security Council consider the use of economic pressure to stop the Palestine war. Sir Alexander Cadogan of Britain ®-- offered the Council a draft resolu- tion calling for a special committee to "examine urgently" the action the council might take under Article 41, Chapter Seven, of the U.N. Charter. That article reads: "The Security Council may decide what measures not involving the use of armed force are to be em- ployed to give effect to its deci- sions, and it may call upon the members of the United Nations to apply such measures. These may in- clude complete or partial interrup- tion of economic relations and of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio, and other means of com- munications, and the severance of diplomatic relations." Canada and Belgium announced they will support the British-Chin« ese resolution when it is put to a vote. Authoritative sources outside the council said the United States also would support it. Gen, A, G. L. McNaughton threw Canada's support behind the reso- lution and said the Canadian dele- gation looks forward to having the report of the seven-member Council committee before the Council at an early date. "No party must be allowed to de- rive any advantage from the use of force while the truce is supposed to be in operation," McNaughton said. He was sure the committee, consisting of the big five members and Belgium and Colombia, could render "very useful help and as- sistance," in the Palestine question. Dr. T. F. Tsiang of China de- clared stronger measures were needed to enforce the truce in the turbulent Palestine situation. The Council called today's ses- sion to hear Egyptian charges tha® Israel is violating the U.N. cease= fire order on the Negev front in Southern Palestine. Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, acting U.N. Palestine mediator, told the Coun= cil the: Negev hostilities might wreck the Palestine truce. The time had come for "bolder and broader action." St. Mary's River Navigation Halted Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Dct. 28 --(CP)--Navigation was brought to a complete halt in the St. Marys River early today by the heaviest fog of the season. It was expected the fog would bee gin to rise about noon.
