The Rogue River National forest has been, awarded the regional forester's safety tro phy for 1959 for having the lowest accident frequency rate over a weighter four year average, according to C. E. Brown, forest supervisor. Regional Forester J. Her bert Stone awards the trophy annually to the forest super visor at the annual supervi sor's meeting in April. Last year there were no lost-time accidents on the Rogue -River forest. The award is based on 60 per cent for the current year, that is 1959, and 40 per cent of the average frequency rate for the three preceding years. The award is currently held by the Siuslaw National for est at Corvallis. Accident prevention is a continuing program in which every one from the supervi sor to the laborers participate in actively, Brown added. , "We are not necessarily trying to set a record, but we are interested in preventing injury to persons and the hardships that follow," he said. One part of the safety pro gram, of which we are not proud, is that of motor vehi cle accidents. During 1959 the Rogue River Forest had 17 of these accidents resulting from dented fenders to total demol ishment of a vehicle. Fortu nately no one was injured in these accidents. We are con tinuing our driver education program, and setting a goal of no lost-time accidents and no motor vehicle accidents during 1960," Brown said.
