SAFETY FIRST IS
FOR EVERYBODY
Nation-wide Drive Starts To
night; Public to Co-operate
With Railroad
At 12.01 a. m. to-night, railroad
employes in Harrisburg and vicinity
will start a nation-wide, no-accident
drive, to end October 31, at midnight.
In the movement to save lifeand limb
the public in general has been asked
to co-operate. For several weeks
committees on the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway, and the Pennsyl
vania railroad have been busy mak
ing plans for this movement.
During the two weeks meetings
will be held daily. Topics of in
terest will be discussed. All local
organizations along with the public
schools will join with the railroad
ers to make this campaign a success.
For the Harrisburg division of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway,
C. E. Chamberlin, superintendent
will be in charge, and William El
mer, superintendent of the Philadel
phia division of the Pennsylvania
railroad, is directing the forces be
tween Marysville and Philadelphia
and including all branches under
the jurisdiction of the Philadelphia
division.
Mayor Keister Enlisted
Mayor Daniel L. Keister is enlist
ed in this movement and in his proc
lamation yesterday called upon all
citizens to co-operate with the rail
road forces. Mayor Keister who
has been confined to his home with a
bad cold said o-day:
"It is a great movement. Look
what it means to save just one life.
This is a question that should be
uppermost in the minds of every
body. Much good will be accom
plished by keeping in mind the value
of preventing accidents. What safety
first means should be drilled in every
pupil in school. Every organization
ir. Harrisburg has an interest in this
campaign. To be careful at all times
is of great value to every human
being."
At the last pay each employe
received a card with his check which
contained an appeal and pledge. At
the next payday each employe will
receive with his check a card which
will remind him of his pledge "to
think and act safely" during the
drive, from October 18 to Octo
ber 31.
From General Manager
Another poster by General Man
ager R. L. O'Donnel is as follows:
"All railroads are putting forth a
concerted effort to make the Na
tional Railroad Accident Prevention
Drive a success. The plans thus far
developed and the enthusiasm dis
played by our officers and employes
indicate that the results that will be
achieved by the Pennsylvania Rail
road, Eastern Lines, will be in keep
ing with its long-established repu
tation for safety.
"The purpose of the drive is
largely to stimulate interest in acci
dent prevention and the adoption of
measures to reduce the hazards of
railroad operation, both among efn
ployes and the traveling public, and
I earnestly appeal to all officers and
employes to do all in their power to
prevent accidents to themselves and
to others and thereby place our road
in the front rank in the National
Railroad Accident Prevention Drive."
The railroads have asked the Mo
tor Club of Harrisburg, the Cham
ber of Commerce, the Rotary Club,
the Kiwanis Club, schools, churches
and the Boy Scouts to co-operate
with them in this drive. An invita
tion has also been sent to all towns
along the right-of-way of the rail
roads.
To this effect, a bulletin, which is
the work of J. H. Nixon; agent of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and J. S.
Kleindinst, agent of the Philadelphia
& Reading Railway, both of whom
are giving much work to the drive,
has been issued.
According to Edwin Ferry, chair
man of the safety committee of the
Pennsylvania railroad, the railroad
companies are giving each employe
a celluloid button which he will
wear during the drive, and which
will distinguish him as a railroad
man interested In the movement.
"Railroaders of the nation, hav
ing progressed so far in the safety
first movement to the point where
fewer railroad employes are now
being killed on the railroads than
nonemployes, a campaign is to be
waged to inspire the general public
with the same ideas," said Mr. Ferry.
"As the movement is a nation
wide one, backed by the united rail
ways of America, It surely cannot
fall to be productive of much good.
"Owners of garages and others
Interested in motor cars have been
enlisted to bring the campaign to
the notice of their patrons."
