Investigations: 



Constant haison work lias been conducted and essential investigations made 

 from time to time throughout the service as required, through which the Head 

 Office Relations with the held and vice versa have been facilitated. 



Accident, Health and Safety Measures: 



Medical and X-ra\" examinations have been continued. As a result, a 

 large number of the staff have been done, and in this connection, it ma>- be 

 observed that it is now essential for emplo\ees recommended for promotion 

 to the Permanent Staff to be categorized by the Health Clinic, or under their 

 supervision. Health and Accident Prevention literature has been circulated 

 and arrangements are being made for this to be followed In- motion {picture 

 propaganda. 



Attendance Records: 



These are compiled monthly and are necessarily maintained with con- 

 siderable care due to the fact that sick leave accumulations of employees with 

 over five years service are worth half pa\- on their separation from the service. 



Staff Suggestion Plan: 



The interest of both emplo\ee and official in this plan has been maintained 

 and on Januar\- 13, 1947, thirteen prizes for suggestions were awarded by the 

 ("ommittee as follows:
