RICHARDS HADE A SPEECH
- and Safety t*a4 Sc\n
Some year* after the turn of the century, "North West
ern’s’’ Ralph C. Richards delivered an address before a
group of employes. His subject was, "Conservation of
Men.’’
Richards was a crusader, in the finest sense of the word.
He felt keenly the need for safety education. To him the
saving of human life was a sacred duty ... he rebelled at
the easy philosophy that permitted carelessness to go
unchallenged.
In 1910, thanks to Richards' zeal, "North Western" began
. systematic efforts to reduce accidents ... thus the first rail
road accident prevention organization came into being.
Richards* influence spread. The Father of the “Safety
First" movement won recognition from dties, states, in
dustries and other railroads. Finally, came the National
Safety Council, the attainment of his long sought ambitiofti
Richards’ dream had come true. Acddents were ^dr
reduced . . , lives were saved ... a new jHwkv'
"Safety First" era had begun!
Today, “Safety First’* is a
by-word on every railroad
and in all industries. The
security of travelers is im
portant; that of employes
equally so. Safety measures,
too numerous to mention,
have been introduced. Along
with faster train schedules
have come protective de
vices, such as automatic
train control, that have made
train travel safer than an
evening at home. In the
years to come “North West
ern,” always a leader in the
“Safety First” movement,
will continue to pioneer.
Safety—first, last ana always!

FAT- SALVAGE BEE
v ,' I ; f kX ' 1
for your country?
• . '"V, w

fatj
HERE IN AMERICA, when a neighbor
needs help, it has always been the custom
for all the folks to pitch in and give him
a hand. Many a harvest would have been
lost without the help of a husking bee.
YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS a fat-salvap
bee right now! Million* of tons at fat have
been used up to supply the thousands of
battlefield and home-front needs in this
war. And there’s still a lot of war ahead!
•r •’ ' .* *
A PLEA TO EVERY WOMAN 1 Our country is calling on you, the women in small
cities and towns and on the farms, to save every drop of used fat. Your used fats are
desperately needed to meet our country's requirements.
So scrape all pans and roasters. Skim soups and gravies. Keep your used fats in
a tin can—any kind will do. Save meat trimmings and plate scrapings in a bowl;
melt them down and add the liquid fat to your can.
When the salvage can is full, take it to your butcher. He’ll give you 2 red points
and up to four cents for every pound. If you have any difficulty turning in your used
fats, call your Home Demonstration or County Agent.
Needed this year: 100,000,000 more pounds of used fats
