Again I am tempted to quote from Major Griggs' able address. He said : 



"Logging is a hazardous life at the very best and calls for strong, dare-devil 

 men and men who are willing to take chances. Danger is always present and 

 men become so used to it that they get careless. This, however, is no excuse for^ 

 needless loss of life and limb." 



He commends : ''The benefit of co-operative effort in conserving human life 

 and in protecting the bread-winners, upon whom depend the life and happiness 

 of so large a population." 



The American Red Cross offers to do its share in this co-operation for the 

 conservation of the life of the lumber-jacks in the logging camps throughout our 

 country.
