SAFETY NOTES

January lth and the day broke mildly
under grey clouds at Cassilar. This was a
pleasant respite from the previous
biting cold.

A normal day shift began on the tram-

line and continued so for the first hour. |

Full buckets of ore trundled in orderly
procession down the mountain side, But
' suddenly the tempo quickened, the line
began to sing and buckets came hurtling
through the stations.

Down in No.3 station at the plantsite,
Charlie Bronson, Plant Superintendent,
pressed the emergency step button
without immediate response. Up at No.2
station, swing operator, Lew Palmer,
seized a bar, ran to the thruster brake
and by prying with the bar succeeded in

activating the brake and the line stopped.

This action may have stopped the line in
itself, or it may have taken effect in
conjunction with Mr. Bronson's action

at No.3 station.
the point is that the operator displayed
a cool head, and his action was a timely
effort toward the prevention of possible
injury to others, and perhaps serious
property damage.

In commendation of this action, manage=
ment at. Cassiar wish to extend to

Mr, Palmer their sincere appreciation
and thanks for displaying courage and
prompt action above and beyond the line
of normal duty.

N.B. The cause of this accident on the
tramline has bem found and rec~
tified.

Billy was in tears. "Papa just hit his
hand with the hammer." he biubbered.

soothed his mother. "Why didn't you

laugh 2" I did." Was the reply.
