26 The Health Bulletin February, 1930 the industries must reckon with; because the two major problems that are facing them today are: (1) Cost of production, (2) Purchasing power of the people. Just what part each organization would play in helping solve this tremendous problem of sickness and associated misfortunes, is one that must be worked out to fill the needs of its own environment. Each separate industry has its own peculiar hazards, and yet all have a common problem—that of a wage earner sick and unable to produce. As a further proof of the need of "Health Activities In Industry," an act of our last legislature made it obligatory on industries that they take into consideration the accidents which their employees sustain while in the performance of their duties, as practically every other state in the union has done. For every accident sustained sufficient to cause loss of time for over seven days must be paid for in part by the employer plus all medical expense. Hence all modern industries should be continually taking stock of their human machines, so that they may function as nearly one hundred per cent as possible. The R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company has maintained an organized medical department since 1919 and its work has justified its existence, until today it is almost an indispensable part of this large and efficient organization. Our equipment includes a general dispensary or plant hospital in connection with the employment department, located on the ground floor of our new nineteen story office building. In here we have dressing rooms for applicants, examining room, accident room, operating room, x-ray department, two wards, and a fully equipped dental department with one doctor, one dentist, and two nurses, all on duty all working hours of the factories.
