WAR ON ACCIDENTS In of encouraging factors in the nation- wide campaign for safety are still wasting our most previous and replaceable wartime asset, manpower, at a rate that should bring to us a sense of humiliation. Only the other day Dr. Victor G Heisér, a consultant to the National Association of Manufacturers, told a conference of the Associated Industries of Massachusetts that more than 42600 war production workers had been killed in industrial and off the job accidents since Pearl Harbor, while the daily toll from fatal and other accidents to work- ers had reached the grim figure of 11,000 in the period. At same time he predicted that ab- sence {rom the job, due to illness and other causes, including accidents, would cost industry this year 121,000,000 man-hours, which, if applied in the right place, would be sufficient to produce 5,000 Flying Fortresses or 21,000,000 Garand rifles. Dr. Heiser showed that it is not only essness of attitude toward machines and mechanisms which ‘results in accidents, ‘but also fatigue and malnutrition in the broader sense. On the brighter side of the that the War Production Fund power, which is sponsoring a drive for safety on all fronts through the National Safety Council, has been able to enlist impre: roster’ of Ameri- can industry participants in its $5,000,000 fund and te organize many industries in the field the Safety Council reports a reduction of 24 percent for the first nine mor of this in ‘the vehicle. - traffic¢ toll of 6,600 lives compared with the same t year. However, the total of deaths in traffic for nine months still was 21,290, a figure which can only be regarded as a disgrace in view of the reduced driving in sections of the country and reduced speed of opera- tion. ‘With the coming of shorter days and mor: hours of darkness and with the approach of winter spite we least the car picture is the fact to Conserve Man- an Also, year motor or THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA onditions, special care must be exercised lest the relatively favorable trend in traffic accidents reverse | itself during the final quarter. | In all fields—in the factory, in the home and on the road—it is evident that the individual citizen | still has failed to. realize the extent to which the Axis is being alded by American carelessness.

A house, let’s say, is supposed to rent for $75 a month. But residences| in the nation’s capital are worth almost their weight in fine gold, and the owner is not satisfied with the| ceiling income, | What does he do? He “sells” the house for $125 down and $125 a month, with an understanding that | |when the “buyer” is through he will default on pa; ments and permit the house to revert to the “selle; This isn’t just a sharp business trick.

The factory whose lawyer gets the answer first has | the jump on its competitors.” These aren't isolated incidents. They are typical Almost anybody who gets around can substitute his own observations for these three. Apparently there still are many who do not com- | prehend that this is total war—that we can not tol- | erate any obstructionism for private benefit if we are going to beat Hitler and the Japanese.
