There are no accidents
IAPA members are told
"There Are no accidents."
An unusual theme, and all the
more so when it became the topic
for a talk at the annual meeting of
the Perth -Huron Section of the
Industrial Accident Prevention
Association.
Over 100 members and guests
representing 20 industries from
the two counties were present at
Thursday's meeting at the Wing -
ham Legion Hall to hear guest
speaker Dr. George Goth of the
London Metropolitan United
Church.
Dr. Goth was straightforward
in both his commendations and
condemnations: "I want to com-
mend you people for the concern
you have shown for the men and
women who work for your com-
panies ... bat are you really con-
cerned about safety?"
He urged the IAPA members to
look at "the larger picture of
safety." Dr. Goth explained: "If
an accident is something over
which we have no control, there
are no accidents. In the last an -

taIonde �-five gronts to w�►rr�e� s .fir
Hon. Marc Lalonde, Minii it tet of
National Health and Welfare and
Minister responsible for the
Status of Women, recentlly an-
nounced five grants totaling
$72,765 to voluntary organizations
under the Grants to Voluntary
• Organizations — International
Women's Year Program of his
Department.
The purpose of these grants is
to enable voluntary organizations
to participate in International
Women's Year projects which fall
wituin the mandate of National
Health and Welfare.
Organizations receiving granas
are:
The Canadian Foundation on
Alcohol and Drug Dependencies
to receive $10,000 to organize and
co-ordinate a national consul-
tation during International Wo-
men's Year on the problems of al-
cohol an drug dependencies
among women ;
The Canadian Psychological
Association—Task Force on the
alysis, it's the -character of the in-
dividual that determines our
safety."
Dr. Goth condemned society as
"very superficial — more con-
cerned with the sociological
levels instead of first principles."
This misinterpretation of values,
he said, has resulted in "a social
menace of gigantic and frighten-
ing proportions" •
"We're doing all sorts of foolish
things in this age," he continued,
citing fast driving, smoking and
drinking as dangerous acts of ir-
responsibility. "It's sheer
stupidity ... a slow way of com-
mitting suicide. Really a puzzle
to me."
Organizations like the IAPA, he
said, are just "piddling around
with machines" as a measure of
their concern with safety. "We
don't do very much about the real
dangers,", he said. "We're in a
jam today and we've got to stop
pussyfooting around. We've done
a great deal, but we've 'failed a
lot."
Dr. Goth said the cures for
society's ills were a return to "in-
tegrity, honesty, faith in our-
selves and convictions. As a man
thinks, so he performs. If you
don't care, you can't live, you're
not safe. All the safety gadgets
and measures won't help us if we
don't get back to basics."
Dr. Goth quoted T. S. Eliot sev-
eral times in his talk, quoting the
phrase "quest for permanent
things" as the true goal for pres-
ent day man. He cited greed as a
major factor in the present dil-
emna "We have been told that if
we want anything, we can have it.
Everybody's doing it."
He concluded with a slightly
pessimistic but challenging
statement: "I'm not sure our
kind of society is safe for the sur-
vival of man, but are we worthy
of survival?"
