And we don’t need to seek the ad-
vice of a chiropodist to find the cause
of this prevalence of foot trouble.
The answer is readily found and sum-
med up in one word—SHOES. Ill -

ters on the feet of the wearer and
will keep them there until the cause.
The Foreman Takes The
New Worker in Hand
"at home,”
ara, classical and popular pieces
which the band interpreted for its
wearer’s occupation. A work shoe
should be of sturdy construction, and,
built so as to give protection as well
as comfort to the foot of the wearer.
Just such a shoe is aviliable at a
very low price at the Warehouse.
Check up on your shoes before ye
get your feet hurt; walking on cru
ches is hard work.
The foreman must take the
new worker in hand and drive the
wedge a bit deeper into his heart by
disciplining him in safe methods; not
. by compelling or threatening or driv-
ing him, but by winning him over and
bringing to the surface the very best
that there is in him. The first job
and the hardest job that any foreman
has is to make his men like him.
When he can do that, the rest is
easy. True, he is responsible for the
manner in which the job is carried on,
but his big responsibility is in driving
the wedge of safety -down into the
hearts of the workers until they open
right up. Workers don’t require boss-
ing nearly as much as they require
friendship and fellowship. A job
should be a place of happiness and
not a semblance of a chain gang, and
this is made one or the other by the
foreman. It doesn’t require a prophet
to gauge the accident standing of a
gang when every man would go to
hell for his foreman, but the gang
that is trying to “get” their foreman
generally gets hurt. And so, this
high temperature safety which was
fired with human interest at head-
quarters must be kept hot by the fore-
man. He does this in a number of
ways; going over the job, tools and
materials; pointing out special and
hazardous conditions together with
the remedial rules covering them;
and by making safety gang meetings
a regular part of his production pro-
gram. 1
