Your best buddy makes a dive for your desk chair and settles himself comfor tably. Your roommate, an EE major of no small ability, proudly tunes in his newly constructed tel evision receiver. Hoards of visi tors, destined to become your “friends,” have a collective sigh of admiration as John’s other wife becomes distinguishable on the screen. Whistles and catcalls drown out your sigh as yoti petite to the only available space in the room—the closet. Sitting there you have a chance to think, for now only a few sub dued whistles interrupt the grip ping story of John and his wives. In the past when you turned out the lights you could be reasonably certain of at least a little privarcy. Not so now. Your buddies, money lending and otherwise, spend their time waiting for darkness so that they may dash your way with “tel evision” gleaming in their eyes. The less subtle ones enter at dusk and turn out the lights themselves, announcing that it is time for the popular television show, “The Kin sey Hour.” and you darn well bet ter get the set tuned up.

The Governor went., further to state that (adequately providing for the safety and health of indus trial workerk, the annual prevent able toll of injuries, fatalities, and lost wages among the industrial workers of the state is recognized by both labor and management as being tremendous. Loss to otir industries caused by injured peprsonnel, accidentally damaged equipment and material, delayed production, and increased casualtyinsurance rates is four times as great as compensation and medical costs of the .average industrial accident. Unsafe and unhealthful work ing conditions are the most con ducive factor in the labor-man* Ugement strife.
