PAGE SIXTEEN HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY. DECEMBER 13, mi Parsons to Aid Chest; Policy, Method Argued By WALLAC-K MYKKS Why has the Klamath comiminlly chest been obit lo make Its quota ill only one of Uie elKht years o( lis history r TTiit question was sited up from several aniiles In an Informal meet ing yesterday. , The meeting was railed at the behest ol a group of Klamath Falls ministers. The ministers, however, were concerned only with the (net the chest had (ailed attain this year. They did not Intend that (lie meet ing should srow Into a debate on chest methods and policy. The chest this year collected ap proximately 6t) percent of Its quota, lite goal was $77,370; collections to taled til, 105. The rhest drive was In process of closing up shop last week when a minister requested yesterday's meeting. Eleven ministers were present. They agreed to call attention to the chest failure from their pulpits. A few of the ministers also agreed to aid In a special funds drive. NEW TOPICS Those actions completed the meeting's original intent. But there was a good deal more to come and the session ran into a two-hour affair. ON THE RECORD Prior to yesterday's special community chest conference here, the three interested participants above leafed through one of the chest record books. The trio is composed of (1 to r): Verne Spiers, Mills school principal; Rev. Irvin Tweet, Klam ath Lutheran; and Rev. David Barnett Jr.. First Presbyterian. Engineers Ponder Ways of Building Dams Without Death Sticky muffins like sticky buns are delicious. To make the muf fins put a half tablespoon of soft butter or margarine, a half table spoon of brown sugar, and two or three pecan halves In each muffin cup. Pill the muffin cups two thirds full of baiter and bake as usual. Besides Ute II ministers, there were some JO chest officials, work ers and Interested business men at the mceiiuii. Once the ministers had disposed of Uielr matters Uiese laymen be gan a discussion of the chest fail ures. . .And some of the ministers look part. It was stern talk with criticisms levelled at chest methods and gen eral policy and stout answers from chest delenders. The Rev. George Alder, First Christian church, questioned the ad visability of having state agencies participate In the Klamath chest. DKHINSK Alder was fnrthrightly answered by Chest Co-chnirmuii Oeoige Mo Intyre. He said that since many Klamath persons were cared for by Uiese suite institutions Ulat Klam ath people should help support the institutions. Mclutyre strengthened his argument by telling of one or plumage which, because of lis dire financial plight, had to pay cash lor Its groceries day by day. Alder retaliated with Ute obser vation that a few of Uie chest agen cies were already being aided by uie churches. The Rev. P. C. Alderson. Seventh Duy Advenllsts. entered this debate by. pointing out Uiat some church- supported agencies did the sume type work as some o( Uie chest agencies. Calvin Peyton, president of Pey ton and Co.. criticised chest collec tion methods. He held that the payroll deduction plan, whereby PORTLAND. W You can't build big dam without killing some body. That's a pretty generally ac cepted idea in construction circles but the corps of engineers is try ing to change it. On the record the engineers can't do much convincing and they aren't trying to right now. But they think they are going to make the rec ords on future dams the one about to start at The Dalles, for Instance look different. McNary dam has been under construction for more thar, four years. It has killed 13 workmen. Detroit dam has been a-builduig for less than three years and has killed three men. Lookout Point's toU has been five. Chief Joseph dam is far from completion and it has claimed five lives. Lucky Peak dam in Idaho has killed only one. Workmen have been building Al beni Falls dam in Idaho for about year and so far they have es caped fatal accidents. That's probably just a fortunate coincidence, the engineers agree, but they think maybe they had a hand in it, just as they have been working to see that when actual construction starts on The Dalles dam, accidents will have trouble happening. Dam building is hazardous work. - That is one reason the corps of engineers has set up in each of its districts a safety organization whose job is to see to it that accl- ' dent-producers aren't buUt into the dams. And they think they are get ting results. They sit right down with the de signers and say what sort of things will cause more accidents and bow they can be changed to produce - fewer accidents. . In all of the engineers' projects In the North Pacific division, there are an estimated five million man hours a month of exposure to haz ard. In other words, there are lots of jobs that by their very nature are hazardous and lots of men working on them. Figures from the national safety council show that with the number of men at work for the engineers in this division and the types oi jobs, there should be about ISO dis abling accidents every montn. But there has been an average of only 65. Statisticians in the engineers' of fice here have figured out that as a result of keeping accidents under the national average, the saving In compensation payments since 1939 has been Sl.000.590. It was in 1939 that, the engineers applied safety engineering to all their contract work. At first there were some contractors who want ed to save time and thought they saw a conflict. But now, the en gineers say, the contractors for the most part are just as enthusiastic as anyone else about getting rid of the hazards. McNary dam, de spite the safety work, has had 5300 days of actual work lost due to accidents. That has slowed down the job. Fewer accidents would Know.....: i and at?

Any big construction job can be hazardous eight men have been killed In Oregon this year on high way jobs. One man was killed in building the old Tacoma Narrows bridge and another was hit by a beam and killed on the new one. But dams, for some reason, have been the most hazardous of aU and since dams and the PacUic Northwest go together, the engi neers hope that bv showing how to keep unsafe pracUces out. tne cost of new dams won't be measured In part In lives. And they say the accident trend per man-hours of work is on the way down- This Friday . .
