  • THE laborers, the railroads and their employees. We handle your products, you handle our cars and it is very often that we can assist each other in preventive measures. You can evidence your interest in no more practical way than by a safe and sane conduct of your labors and the teaching of the principles of safety to those with whom you work and come in contact, for the safety of others often depends upon IT and, frequently, your life and happiness hinges upon the question of whether or not, someone else has recognized his personal responsibility. We are all, tho Cain denied it: "Our Brother's Keeper." That you may continue the good work along these lines which your company's reports indicate that you are doing, is the earnest best wish of a friend and co-laborer, J. C. Hobson. ■g to A suggestion made by H. C. Adkins, sawmill grader at Fremont, has resulted in an experiment being made to determine whether much of the split in wide firsts and seconds boards can not be eliminated by cleating the ends. The chain men at Big Branch mill have been instructed to cleat boards 12 inches and wider and the yard foreman has provided them with cleating material, hammer and nails, which are kept in a handy place. A pile will be formed, with all boards 12 inches and wider cleated, and a check will be made just before they are ready for shipment to determine what improvement has resulted from the carrying out of this idea. The simple device below is being used by Elmer Roten, construction foreman at Nan- f i m *ft::;:ft=ftftftft *z '&■• ■.:::•:::,■:;■: tahala and his men, somewhat as a miter box, to aid them in sawing round timbers for the construction of the new dock foundations on the Nantahala high-line. BARK Completes 14 Years At 28 Charles Tilley, head machinist at McClure planing mill on June 5 completed 14 years of Ritter service, although he is just 28 years old. Mr. Tilley has worked con- vjHI tinuously with our company. One of his first jobs was helping to dig for the f o u n da- tion of the kiln at Lower Elk and he dug such a big hole, considering his age, that the su- p e r intendent c omplimented him at the close of the day. At one lime Mr. Tilley had to quit his job as water boy for a few weeks until he had reached the legal working age of sixteen years, because of a law coming into effect just before his sixteenth birthday. He has held his present position six years. Of an inventive turn of mind, he has made several time and labor saving devices. Mr. Tilley was born September 22, 1900, at Ashland, N. C. and was educated at Mountain City, N. C. "-ti&*a In order to prevent the shipping of defective stock which might bring a complaint from the customer, every man at Beaver connected with bundling the finished product and loading into box cars was cautioned at a recent meeting to watch carefully for defects which the man who bandied the stock before him may have overlooked. It was pointed out that a bundle of carelessly handled stock may have its edges broken and should be laid out for replacement with good stock. No accidents during April: Nantahala mill, Beaver, Lower Elk and New River mills, New River woods. One Accident: Hurley, Blackey, Fremont mill, Nantahala woods, Fitzpatrick mill, Barrett woods and tram, Barrett mill. Ten
