The results of accidents are tromendous losses in man power, time, and material. These losses are prolonging the war and delaying the fiml day of victory. iWe on the Home Front have many reasons to be ashamed ot the record we estidbllshed in 1943 as far as casualties and a*‘cidcnts are concerned. We killed more people on the home <rom than were killed in battle when men make a •’business” of killing. Two railroad disasters in 1943 took a combined toll of more than 15 i lives. Two coal mine < X4>lo*lon*. one in Montana and the other In Alabama, took 74 and 28 live*, respectively. A Texas hotel fire klllel 51 persons. Drowning* took from the Home Front and production line 7.500 live*. These figures are from the National Safety Council, and represent but a sow t»f the type* of accidents to which any of u» might lie *u*»ject. I hope that as this year progresses each of us will Im-i nine more safety conscious, so that we can add our bit to the tremendous effort that I* required to produce the material with which to win this war.
