STATE SECRETARY OF
MINES URGES ADDED |
SAFETY MEASURES
Consrvation of manpowef in the
coal mines through curtailment of
accidents, was urged last Friday ev-
ening by Richard Maize, secretary of
the State Department of Mines, in
an address delivered before Ebens-
burg Council of the Joseph Holmes
Safety Association in the Court
IHcuse.
Declaring that a great number of
accidents occurring in the pits are
due to the fact that the men do not
have their minds on their work and |
the job at hand, Secretary Maize |
asked for full cooperation from min-
ers and operators in preventing mis- |
haps.
Operators were requested to do all
in their power to safeguard against |
injury to the mine worker since no |
replacements are available for those
whose services are lost. He empha-
sized the vital need for coal in the
Nation's emergency and deplored the
tonnage lost by lost-time accidents.
He extended praise for the fine re-|
cord achieved by Pennsylvania mines
in comparison with other coal pits in|
the nation. The mine secretary at-
tributed the enviable record of the
state to the stringent mining laws
and the high caliber of officials and
inspectors.
Ebensburg council went on record
as favoring the holding of a safety
rally during the summer for mines
enrolled in the chapter. Tentative ar-
rangements for the meet were made
at the session. The council did not
sponsor a meeting last summer.
Discussion as to whether the rally
will be sponsored by Ebensburg
Council or the Central Pennsylvania
Safety Association was postponed un-
til the next meeting when 2 decision
will be made,
Secretary Maize said that he had
assurance of OPA that gasoline will
be available to miners going to ral-
lies.

| JULY 31st IS DEADLINE FOR
INSPECTION OF MOTOR VE- |
| HICLES IN PENNSYLVANIA |
| .

|
Semi-annual inspection of motor |
| vehicles began May 1 and Secretary
of Revenue David W. Harris urges
[“in the interest of safety and car|
| conservation,” that there be no delay |
in taking advantage of this import- |
| ant mechanical check up. .
The inspection period ends July |
31st. Following that period a motor
vehicle cannot legally be operated in
| Pennsylvania without a new inspec-
tion sticker appearing on the wind- !
shield.
| Secretary Harris, in a brief state-
| ment, advised motor vehicle owners
as follows: {
“Inspection of motor vehicles is
at all times important as a safety |
| precaution. Today, more than ever, |
it assumes added importance as aj
| war time conservation measure. The |
| preservation of every vehicle as long
|as it can be done is vital to the war
| transportation effort. National el
tistics show that there are 5,000,000
|1ess cars and trucks on the road to- |
|day than there were two'years ago. |
“This year will see 2,000,000 more |
| passenger cars retired because of age |
|and mechanical defects, Of the pass- |
|enger cars in use today 54 per cent |
|arc seven years or older. New cars |
| will not be available for some time |
|atter the war ends. The car you own |
| today must be made to last for |
|some time to come. Constant care |
such as mechanical check-ups fre-|
quently, will help considerable. The
