It f,4!$:. a large amount of common sense dash of precaution • pinch of neatness • 1 tsp. of conscientiousness 1 tsp. 'of aWiareness . •,2 min. of.extro time (to ensure that the other ingredients are used to advantage) combine all ingredients together. If .the recipe is followed, and. vfOl!, done,.'.the resulting railway safety should serve a pleased C,N. Serve this. dish regularly, ,•until it beiOmes a habit or way of life at home and on the job. This may seem a humorous way of explaining the requirements one ..needs to obtain railway safety;' but it isn't meant to jest at its import- - once: Healthyworkers are essential to on efficient organization, and the • means to achieve the necessary safety is. similar to baking a cake. Each :employee is an important ingredient,: and must do his part to make sure that the operation doesn't "fall- flat." This is a time that too many cooks won't spoil' the brew! The more people who are involved and aware of railway safety; arid- contribute to its making, the 'better the final product will be.the•importance of each individual's "efforts' is best, explained by the old adage, "Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle!" Just as cm extr9 spoonful of salt:coil ruin an angel food cake,. ,one Misplaced- 0/1. can. or a careless movement can destroy the safety at.a station .or • maybe even endanger -the life of a worker. Andonee 'a cake i5 ruined, -nothing can ,bedone to remedy it. Therefore, prevention. is a key to avoiding any 'failures; in railway safety. Once an injury occurs, nothing can undo the .doMage. But part of success is to learn from past mistakes. Sirice a tested recipe is always better, so. must everybne attempt to use their errors to improve their own safety habilS and also those 'of. their fellow workers. 'Experience shOuid never fail to. 'offer a small kindly word of advice before a lesson is learned the hard • way and at great cost. • Moreover, althoUgh: Grandmother alwoys seemed to achieve the.,best results with o. "dash of thiS, and a pinch of that" thrown together in an • old .blaCk pot, railwaymen must be precise. Tools which are carefully used, and stored neatly in their provided 'Places, and ideas. which pre. thoughtfully considered before they are acted,..upon will .help to. guaran= tee a better-ProdOct„ . And' the "substitution method" was never :an accepted one in .baking or • railroading. Employees-.should never settle for..a bolt 'that "almost fits", anymore than a chef would compromise to.use .baking soda instead Of baking poWder, . .One of the most important 'ingredients. in 'any recipe is time. No taste 'compares. with that of a home-made cake one made by someone who cared enough to take a; little extra time. for the sake of excellence. And probably no 'component in the recipe. for railway.safety is more essential than .thoie added moments to ensure that the job is. completed correctly and safely. Just a. few extra seconds can •save.an pye,,. a legs or even a life. There is no way to economize on baking time, and 'no railway job worth doing should be rushed either.- • . If the recipe 'for railway 'safety was used by; each and every' Canadian National employee, the hazardi of working conditions would ,drop' to a Minimum. Just imagine. how Much misery, manpower, and money would be saved by its use. 'I.hope this recipe 'finds a .special spot in the recipe files of all employees' homes. And reniember.kailwaymen: Agricultural Tidbits With Adrian Vos It seems that there are differ- ent yardsticks for farmers and for urban people. Take the item I mentioned last Meek about the location of•livestock buildings. This does.not apply to dwellings. No fanner can even dreaM of put- ting up a livestock building near a city or town. The city or town, however find it quite nor- mal to dump their smelly gar-. bage in the country. . At present two. more townships are engaged in a fight to keep the city's pollution out of their back- yard. Hope Township 'in Durham County, with the help of local. Federation of-Agriculture and a one thousand' citizen group called HOPE, are fighting desperately in "hearings" conducted by Ont- ario's government. The other municipality is Elgin County. With an energy crisis upon us,, isn't it about time that some more money is made available to come up With a plant that re- cycles the garbage into methane gas and nitrogen fertilizer? It . has been known for decades that this is possible. The argument is. that it is not profitable. One never hears if it reduces the cost of disposal, and what about the quality of life of' the people who live nearby? 'These are intangib- les that can't be expressed in money ,.so the computer leaves it out. of the computation. ton city, has a system of partial re- cycling and it seems that they make some profit on it , so why not Toronto and London? Talking about recycling reminds me that more • efforts are being made in the recycling of animal waste through farm digestors. The University of Waterloo plans to build a methane gas plant on a hog farm, as a pilot project.. In the meantime I received another book from India,. with engineer- ing designs for different sizes of gas plante. After adapting one design to my' present facilities, I sent it away to the Bio-gas engin- HEAT UNIT AREAS BIG BONUS VARIETIES Lucknow District Co- Each growing season, more Ontario acres can be used for corn production.
