Mission “Safely-70”;
More War On Waste
Another front in the “War on Waste”—waste of human resources,
productive skills and money—has been opened recently by Presi-
det Johnson. It is known as Mission “Safety-70;” a mission directing
federal departments and agencies to reduce their injury frequency
30 per cent by 1970.
Because the cost of accidents are high in both the loss of lives and
money, Mission “Safety-70” asks federal employees, both military
and civilian to reduce needless tragedies and waste.
Since 1958 more than 1,200 workers in federal service have lost
their lives through job injuries. Nearly 300,000 have sustained
disabling injuries and more than 18,500,000 man-days of potential
production have been lost. In 1963 alone, there were 190 deaths
and 41,905 disabling injuries among federal workers, at a cost to
the government of $3,600,000.
Attainment of the 30 per cent accident reduction goal by 1970
would prevent about 45,000 injuries, save approximately 200 lives and
save almost a quarter of a billion dollars in direct and indirect costs.
President Johnson stated, “Our objective is the fullest protection
for our civilian and military personnel on and off duty and for all
who visit federal buildings, installations, parks forests and other
facilities. To advance these goals the federal government will co-
operate with state and local governments, management, labor and
safety organizations in developing and applying safety standards
responsive to changing conditions and the pace of technological
progress.”
While the armed forces have consistently posted an admirable re-
cord in the field of safety, we can still make an important contribution
towards achieving the goal of Mission “Safety 70.” As part of the
implementation of the mission, a review of current safety programs
in each federal department and agency has been ordered. By sub-
mitting safety ideas and suggestions, we can work safely, avoid ac-
cidents and insure that those around us do the same.
The goal of Mission “Safety-70” won’t be easy to reach, but it is
attainable. And as President Johnson points out, the effort’s cost in
interest, time and energy is small compared to the great benefits
that can be gained. (AFPS)

Corner
LCdr R. E. Blade, CHC, USNR
O Lord, the Friend of sinners, 1Vho hast befriended us with the
benefits of thy most gracious sacrifice, help us to befriend one an-
other by the sacrificial gift of our timri and interest to thee, and
through thee to one another. Amen.
We live in a crowded world which is growing more crowded every
day. We work in close quarters. We must learn to get along with one
another. How shall we do it?
Our Lord said to his disciples that when he left them they would
have to depend on one another, and to learn to work together not
as servants, but as his friends. The secret of our fellowship is
found in his words.
“This I command you, to love one another.”
This love is not just a tolerance or forbearance. When we bump
elbows, or run into arguments it is pretty hard to avoid the conse-
quences of our differences. We cannot run away from one another, or
ignore one another in a crowded space. Most importantly, as the
friends of Jesus, we cannot set aside the obligations we have toward
one another.
Not Our Choosing
Our Lord chooses us and expects us to “bear fruit.” This is not
our choosing. Our friends are not our choosing. Our circumstances
are not our choosing. The matter of “bearing fruit” under difficult
circumstances is not our choosing. This is all his doing.
In his fellowship all are friends because they are the objects of
His love. His is the supreme example of friendship.
“Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Because he forgave our differences with him, we too can forgive
one another. Since sacrificial love is the basis of his friendship with
us, it ought to be the basis of our friendship with one another.
Pray for one that you have wronged.
