GUEST EDITORIAL FOR SAFETY WEEK

If1 told -you your father or brother had just
been hurt or killed at work—how would you feel?
Yet in the lumbering industry in’B.C. it had? to be
done 4952: times last year.

The 70,000 man lumbering industry is out to
curb this.

People are becoming more and more safety
minded. Records show a reduction of 32% over the
last eight years. It’s good. but-not good enough. It
only shows that safety-mindedness is the solution to
our problem.

In: contrast to the situation in the lumber bus-
iness, industrial accidents have steadily ‘increased,
1950-51 "up 9.1 per cent, 1951-52 up 4 per cent,
and 1952-53. up 5. per cent. 1953 death toll in
Canada was 9042. : ;
. Every ‘man, woman and’-child, in every station
of fife throughout the: country should forget ‘It
cannot happen to me.” It is:not enough for a mother
to say “be careful’ to her children. Tell them why,

- what for, and how. The same goes for every foreman
or whoever is in charge of men and machinery.

We have safety signs ’and' posters.. They are not
there for decoration: Too many. do exactly. as. the
fellow seeing the “wet paint! sign. He had ‘to -feel
it, and - afterwards cussed for getting paint on his
hands. >"

Starting today, let us wakes every week a safety'week.

AIR AND SEA'NO LONGER FREE | * °

The consternation caused last week by reports
{apparently erroneous): that the Peruvians were fix-
ing to send a fishing fleet into North Pacific waters
illuminated’ a‘ problem which has grown -almost ‘un:
noticed since World War I! That is ‘the encroach-
ment by various states on the fregdom of sea and
air.

Free movement -about ‘the ‘world’s oceans’ first
became an issue <fter’ ‘the’ discovery. of . the ‘New
World, when simultaneous expansion of. “Spanish,
British, Dutch and. French shipping resulted in ‘fre- ©
quent hostilities’ and legal confusion. A’ Dutch jurist,
Huig de Groot, was the first to ‘draft-a'‘set of in-
ternational: laws designed to bring ‘some order into
seafaring in 1609, ‘and despite ‘the strenuous : op-
position of the British the code was finally accepted
by all civilized nations.

However, the trend has always been toward ~
more far-reaching exercise of :national sovereignty.
The Russians have made a big joke out-of the three-
mile coastal limit.on the water.and in the air. They.
have captured Scandinavian and’ Japanese. boats far.
out at sea and they have shot down planes that

\ were not even in“ sight of their coast, making it

clear to’all concemed ‘that they intend to push their

“sovereignty” as far out to sea as the “acquiescence
of their neighbors will: permit.

Canada “and: theU.S., mindful “of the clamor’
raised by ‘our fishermen, made ‘occupied * ‘Japan sign
a treaty that excluded Japanese fishing yessels from
the largest and richest. Part of ‘the North: Pacific:
Korea, China, ‘and Russia soon followed “suit “with
similar. ‘restrictions “of their own, and..some Latin
Americans, sniffing «the changing wind, “arbitrarily
extended their “coastal waters” from’3 miles to 250
miles. When two U.S._ fishing boats’-were, caught
within these’ ‘limits ‘and impounded, mighty Uncle
Sam meekly -forked “over. “several thousand: “dollars * to:
bail them: out.

In the air, the situation looks @ven
with propaganda and weather ‘ balloons;
spection, and artificial satellites: 2°: ~

Nobody can predict: where this expansion will

“= stop, but the whole’ story demonstrate “once again
that among nations, might still, makes: right, .and

A. considerable number of

qualifications which hé has pre-

Wher. he (or she) goes to

teachers and’ companions get
the’ blame.

Thts is ‘not to: suggest that

usually "most vociferous, ;In fact
I believe: that:too many parents
