ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SAFETY?

Just over two years ago a group of people who
were mainly engaged in the promotion of safety in
industry located approximately in the Nelson, Trail,
Satmo, Castlegar, area, got together and formed the

K y Safety A

ion,

In the beginning the idea was the pooling of in-
formation and the’ exchange of ideas on Industrial
Accidents prevention, but the Association also had
an eye on Sofety affairs outside of industry.

Due to the difficulties of ‘keeping together and
the problem of communications over so wide,an area,
the activities of the Association have been rather re-
stricted ‘in the past, especially with regard to safety
out side of industry. The members,‘ being fully aware
of this, decided in the fall of 1956 to seek affiliation
with the B.C. Safety Council, After some. negotiation
this has been accomplished. The Association also de-
cided to form Chapters in Nelson, Trail, Salmo and

Castlegar. ..

Looking back over the past year alone the sta-
tistics for Castlegar. presents a somber picture. This
cannot continue, and the Association will welcome the
support of any persons interested in forming a Chap-

ter of the Association in Castlegar. The services of -all
members is entirely voluntary and the Association will
be dedicated to public safety. Their present intention
is to form a group of safety-minded people who will

get together, elect their own officers and then go.

The mother or father who re-
peatedly gjves a ghild candy
and other sticky sweets, between
meals can set off a chain reac

pair the child’s dental health.

These parents ‘unwittingly giv-
ing their child a strong nudge
on the road to joining the vast
army of dental cripples who re-
quire artificial dentures. by the
time they are adults.

While the cause - and - effect

tion of a child’s first teeth is es-
sential to the proper alignment
of healthy permanent teeth.

‘of listening to it at the Kinnaird. P.T.A. Concert last .

Friday night, and were amazed at the progress they
have made.

Mr. Fishwick can well be proud of his accomplish-
ments with these boys and girls, and we are sure that
they are proud of their conductor.

It takes hours of practice, untold patience from
both sides, and above all. the spirit to do even better
to bring an organization such as the Stanley Humph-
ries High School Band to the point of presenting a
concert such as you will hear tomorrow night.
