Tlie meeting was very ably han- 'iied by H. L. Keichenhach. siiper- intendeiu of .Nazareth Cement Co. He introduced Morris Fortuin, gen- M. 1 i:;'inager of the Peiiin> Ivania- Dixie C-nient Corpor.-'ion, as Past < resident     of  ili •     l.eliigh   Valley

He also .sated that the Hercules Cement Corporation suffered Us last lost- lime accidr^nt in May l'J2S and the Lone Star Cement Company in .Sfjpteniber 192S. Thesn are long and very enviable records and are naturally the talk ot the confknun- ity.
Lawrence Rupp. who was sched¬ uled to be the speaker of the eren- iiig. was unable to be present be¬ cause ot the Inclement weather. Iu his stead R. B. Fortuin, vice chairman of the cement section ot .if National Safety Council, offered a talk which was very ably present¬ ed In his remarks be spoke ot tbe toll accidents are tiking throu- giiout the entire country and the stare of Pennsylvania. He mad* a -strong appeal for each one prev¬ ent to take the safety and accident prevention idea Into their societies and clubs, into the schools and homes, with the Intent to promote a stronger community safety Idas. Industries have a great work in ttie reduction of accidents—the next Ktep is to educate the future generatint'.s. which naturaHy would n;?an the schools. Following that the ommunity as a whole should he educa'ed to this idea by obtain¬ ing belter traffic control, better Ure protection, better building codes and above all. playgrounds tor the children which would keep tfaelta off the streets and away from traffic hazards.
One of the most interesting fea¬ tures was the three-minute talk given by a representative ot each of tbe cement companies and th* Bates Valve Bag Company. Th* outstanding talks naturall/ «*r« those by representatives ot th* plants eligible to secure the Port¬ land Cement Association trophy- each of these men spoke of th* jjfety organization at their plants and how they managed to co.mplete at least 365 days without a lost- time accident.
Afer the close of the talks th* assenitiiy enjoyed an all-t.Iking, Vital.hone picture entitle 1 "Oh Veah." The evening's euiertaln- nient was very thoroughly enjoyed hy every one present.
These nieeMi.gs are a most won¬ derful means of rromotir.g good fellowship, co-ordination and co¬ operation in the grt. t woTk of re- ducii.g accidents In .ndus:ry and the c.immunity, and eve;-y one pre-?:U  is  unquestionably  looking

that the company workmen are careless in handling dirt from the exravatloiis nnd have piled It ou i-id'-walks, front porches and In rtrlvevayi. mm b to the Inconveni- eni'o of those who live on the 1 remises. The Councllmen say they  do  not  expect   a  Job  of  this
kind to be acc.iuiplished without >iinie liicoiivtiiience but Ihe nature ,iiid details of many of the com- ..lalnts seem to ^how that the com¬ pany is not using any c.ire in the iiaiidl.ng of the dirt from tiie tr^.'nches and that haphazard me'''ods prevail rather than an or- lieiiy progress. The covering ot a fire plug is pointed out as unnec¬ essary and Inexcusable and the leaving of a charge of blasting m:iteriai with an e.vposed fuse at- •ai lied is al'O regarded as a piece of gross negligence.
It Is expeiteil thai the matter will be lirought up ut the next Coiiiiiil meeting and tlioroimhly threshed out and that the contrac¬ tor will be asked to have his work¬ men pay more attention to the h.indling of the Job with regard to the convenience of tbe put)lic and with p>»:'ecial regard to public s:irtrfy.
