The occasion honored 16 sawfiling department employees for having completed one-half million manhours of safe woik.'Present foreman is Glenn Berglund, a seventeen year member of the department.
A personal presentation and the congratulations of Union Company president C. Russell Johnson went with the award. He said he believed any department that could produce such an outstanding record certainly deserves special recognition and that the President's Safety Award was designed especially for the occasron.
This award was followed by a second surprise award sent by the california Lumbermen's Accident Preveniion Association ani presented to CLAPA president Alder Thurman. Thurman. safetv supervisor for Union Lumber Company, said he believed that this was the only safety record of its kind in the California lumber industry.

o'When you consider that each saw blade can cause a serious injury if not handled in a safe manner, then the sisnificance of what these filers have achieved in the past 20 ye"ars becomes obvious," Berglund said.
