SAFETY RECORD
IN PAST1NTH
District Has Average of Only
3.3 Accidents Per 1,000
Men Former Mark 4.8
Best safety record In Its his
tory was registered by the Med
ford district civilian conserva
tion corps last month, head
quarters here announced today.
Recorded accidents last
month affected on the average
only 3.3 men per thousand. The
best previous record, estab
lished in March, 1939, was 4.8
The record is compiled on the
basis of lost-time accidents, or
accidents which necessitate
medical attention beyond the
day on which the accident oc
curred, It was explained.
21 Camps Accident Free
Twenty-one of the 32 camps
In the Medford CCC district
had no accidents at all last
month, the record showed. Sev
en camps reported one acci
dent each, three reported two
accidents each and one reported
three accidents, a total of 16
accidents In 11 camps. In each
accident only one person was
injured. There are about 5800
men In the district. Motor ve
hicle as well as all other types
of accidents are Included In the
record.
"When you consider the num
ber of men involved, the inex
perience of most of them with
tools and the necessity of teach
ing them fundamental safety
methods, the April record is
rather remarkable," said a dis
trict headquarters executive.
Lecture Given
Safety meetings of all camo
personnel are held twice a
month in each camp. At eich
meeting a designated speaker
lectures on safety precautions
and analyzes any lost-time ac
cident that has occurred. Cir
cumstances leading up to the
accident and what preventive
steps might have been taken
are discussed.
The CCC has a textbook of
strict rules and regulations re
garding safety, all designed to
inspire and help carry forward
the humanitarian and economic
movement of accident preven
tion, the headquarters spokes
man said.

WIN OVER PILUSO
j Using a series of devastating
headlocks that, to many fans
In the audience resembled choke
holds, Prince Selakl Mehalikis
took the third and deciding
tumble from Portland's Ernie
Piluso to win their gruelling
main event grappling match in
the armory last night.
The falls stood one apiece
when Mehalikis started his ser
ies of bone-crushing headlocks
and although his arm appeared
to be in direct contact with
Piluso't wind-pipe now and
then nobody did anything about
it. After four and half min
utes of receipting for the pain
ful hold, Ernie was pinned with
a body press.
The Prince won the first fall
in nine minutes of great scien
tific wrestling. After the ad
vantage changed hands with
lightning-like rapidity, Mehali
kis whipped on a Boston Crab
and Piluso patted the mat to
save himself further punish
ment Four minutes after Piluso had
the equalizing tumble, by vir
tue of several smashing sonnen
berg's off the ropes, a flying
tackle and a body press. Dur
lng this heat the boys took turns
sonnenberging each other to the
mat, but Ernie's had Just a lit
tle more oomph.
The Black Panther, aggres
sive colored boy, withstood
Bulldog Jackson's most terrific
hammerlocks to trounce the
Portland toughie in the middle
event, two falls to one.
The Panther brought into
play his potent headlock In the
second round to grab the first
fall, but Jackson came back in
the fourth to get his lone turn
ble by use of an excruciating
hammerlock, which he made
more effective by breaking the
Panther's 'arm over the ropes
and committing other illegal
maneuvers.
In the fifth heat Jackson
slammed the darkie outside the
ring and kept booting him in
the stomach whenever he at
tempted to return. Finally, the
Negro flash employed a sling
shot back through the hemp
that dropped Jackson dead In
his tracks. Panther pinned Bull
dog with a body press for the
match.
Frankle Clemens used his In
dian paralyzer in the fourth
round to win the third and tell
ing fall from Villainous Al Fer
ona in the opener. Clemens also
won the first fall in the second
round with a press, while Fer
ona employed a leg-breaker in
the third to even the match.
