Baytonian Is Charged In Check Case A Baytown woman has been charged seven counts of passing worthless checks in the BaytowT. area.

Kimberly Locked, 23, of 2700 Ward Road, was arrested Monday morning by Deputy Constable George Scott and Del. Arthur Oviedo. Baytown merchants with outstanding checks on the woman are asked to contact Justice of Ihe Peace N. 0. Morrison at 4277449.

Records reflect, too, that most injuries occur among new employes. This indicates the city needs to have a stronger orientation program for new employes.

(The cily is in the process of hiring a personnel director, a position approved in the current budget.) The city's safety program started Jan. 1 under Ihe direction Hickerson.

For the first lime records are being kept on accidents and the city is taking action to prevent accidents by studying Ihese records. Hickerson says he is getting good cooperation not only from city departments but from physicians who are being asked to fill out forms on the nature of injuries. Safety programs are relatively new in municipalities. One of the few cities ahead in this field is Port Arthur where only nine disabling injuries per 1 million hours of work occurred last year. "And they have a few more employes than we have," Hickerson noted.

"Port Arthur has had a safety program longer than other cities. They hired a consultant from Texaco to direcl their program.
