The extended spell of mild weather which ended Friday stalled the workers and nearly drowned all hopes of Hamilton having a municipal rink for some time.

C. RECORD Groat Kalis, Feb. in 1932 was the accident record of the Great Falls plant of the "Anaconda Copper Mining company lower than it was In 1937, according to the annual safety report just issued. In 1932, however, the number of shifts worked was the smallest in a table going back to 1915, so that in comparison the record- last year might be considered the best. The report reveals that per shifts in 1937 the accident rate was 1.37 as against 1.57 in 1936.

The' rate for serious accidents de--ereaaed from 1.00 in 1936 to 0.65 last year. The average number of days lost per accident again showed a decline in 1937. There was one fatal accident at the plant in 1937. In the last five years there have been four such accidents, following five years in which there were no fatalities. The following departments, in which more than 1,000 shifts were worked during the year, had no lost time' accidents and constitute the honor roll in accident prevention for 1937: Copper anode casting, 1,464 shifts; wire scalping, rolling mills loading, rolling mills, 8,595 cadmium, zinc plant surface, electric tramming, brickmasons, machine BhoprT.bS'f t'sumpllng department, reduction department, watching and fire pro te cti on, rwarehouser 4.S89.

For seven consecutive years the copper anode casting and reduction departments have been on this honor roll, meaning they have had no lost time accidents in that period. The rolling mills and watching and fire protection departments have six years to their credit; sampling department, four; brickmasons and warehouse, three, and all the others, two. Classification of accidents last year as to causes shows one-third the total resulted front falling or flying objects. Many of these DEATH ANGEL CLAIMS MRS.

SAFETY BEST IN HISTORY were foot injuries, frequently prf ventable, officials say by wearing safety shoes, use of which is urged by the company.

Slipping and tripping, resulting In falls, was the second most fruitful cause of accidents. Burns, handling materials and sprains and strains each caused five injuries, for a total of more than a fourth of all accidents. Nails and splinters, formerly a frequent cause of injury, accounted for only two accidents. Last year had no accidents from the handling of electricity and no accident has resulted in two years from the use of hand tools. The handling of natural gas caused no injuries in 1937.

It is pointed out that In the last two years lees than 10 per cent of the accidents have involved 'em- ployes who have been employed less than three months in the department where they were injured. The report likewise indicates that a ratio of accident to the hazard of the job does not maintain, the percentage of accidents being highest in some Instances where the occupation is relatively free from hazard.
