Pyongyang, February 28 (KCNA) -- One day in April Juche 53 (1964), Chairman Kim Jong Il visited the Kanggye Youth Power Station nearing its inauguration.
Looking round a distributing board room at the station, the Chairman said that the room was dimly lit.
When the person on duty answered that he was accustomed to it, the Chairman said that as he and his colleagues did mental work, the poor lighting would trouble their work.
It was admirable for the power plant to try to save electricity even a bit, but working all day in a dimly lit room would harm the health of workers, especially their eyes, he said, admonishing the officials to install brighter electric bulbs and harmonize the colors of walls, floor and furniture in order to make the room brighter.
Not satisfied with this, he asked the officials to pay attention to the health and working conditions of workers, stressing that power production is very important but it is not necessary to produce electricity if it damages workers' health, and nothing is more precious than people.
The officials were deeply moved by the noble traits of the Chairman who dealt with everything from the standpoint that the people should be placed above all and everything should serve the people. -0-
