Safety Campaign Launched

At Kimble Glass Plant

The safety flag at Kimble Glass Company was still flying today, but employes were barely started on the company-wide attempt to complete a full month without a lost-time accident.

It is-the second time the Kimble Glass Company plant in Muncie has joined with other Owens-Il­linois units in a one-month cam­paign to eliminate lost-time acci­dents. They tried it in 1946, when there were 22,000 people on com­pany payrolls, and had only one mishap to mar the record.

THIS TIME there are more than 27,000 people involved.

Members of the plant safety committee attended the flag-rais­ing ceremony last Friday, but the campaign didn’t actually start un­til Saturday morning. The safety flag serves as a constant reminder that of the status of the campaign. In case of a lost-time accident the flag comes down and stays down for a week.

The slogan here: "Let's keep the flag flying."

Members of the safety committee attending the flag raising cer­emony were Claude Brooks, Charles Clevenger, Richard Her­ron, Marvin Johns, Donald Kerr, Bob Kowalski, Clyde Logan, Gola Mahoney, Ben Rhinehart, William F. Smith, Everett Whitlock, For­rest Hazelbaker, Clara Conner, Ed Langas, Ed Spence and Harold Flowers.
