THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
An iEteknau Law. The “New Zealand Railway Magazine” does all in its power to further the “safety first” campaign, and its last number contains a list of injunctions to railway workers in order to minimise risk to life and limb. It concludes this portion of the issue with ‘the following: “The law of cause and effect takes no account of modern Conditions. It was the same when Noah built the Ark as when Dunedin built the Exhibition. -.But whereas Ham and Shem had little to take their minds off boat-building, the modern worker has a thousand outside interests to divert his mental processes from the mechanical work in hand—and with every diversion the hazards are multiplied. Hence the need for constant vigilance and observance of the laws of Safety First.”
