Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 22, 1961 FROM WHERE WE STAND - ‘Too Late. Too Late. The luckiest man alive just lost his pants. Perhaps that should read, -“lost JUST his pants”, because he stood a good chance of losing his life. The green chopped grass in his self unloading wagon had bridged and was not feeding out properly. Without shutting off the power, he climbed up on the wagon and pushed the forage down with his foot. . He said the thought flashed across his mind, “I shouldn’t be doing this.” but by that time it was too late. The luckiest man alive was in luck because he happened to be wearing a pair of old, worn pants. The cloth ripped and parted company with the man before he was pulled into the un loading mechanism. The few bruises and scratches he got paid for the least expensive lesson he ever learned. A few years ago when the editor was teaching vocational agriculture, he had planned a lesson on corn pick er safety. On the day the lesson was to be presented, word came to the teach er that the father of one ninth grade boy had lost an arm in a corn picker accident the day before. In a quandry over whether to pro ceed with the lesson or switch to something else, the teacher decided the punishment to the boy might be justi fied by the value of the object lesson. The lesson was scarcely started when the boy put his head down on his desk and sobbed through his tears, “Too late. Too late. Too late!” This concerned us for a consider able time. If the lesson had been pre sented a day earlier, the father might still have his complete limb instead of the empty shirt sleeve. If the presen tation had been a little more dramatic the year before, or if a safety cam paign had reached the father the pre vious week, this needless accident might not have happened. But the safety-conscious can not continuously hold the hand of the ma chine operator to keep him from put ting his hands or feet in places they were never ment to be put. Safety ed ucation is all around all the time, but, it can not save the man who takes foolish chances. Tho man lost his arm under a big sign on the picker which warned, “Do not adjust while machine is running’. Both these accidents, and most others on the farm, happen because Best Food Buys Outdoor Cookery Items Lead Everywhere in America, in towns, or country on pat io or picnic grounds, the outdoor barbecue has be come’ a part of living, and so, food buying succumbs to outdoor living, reports Tom' Piper, Penn State Ex tension Marketing Agent.

Machines cripple and injure and maim, and take life doing the things they were built to do. They can not be held responsible because they have no power to make judg ments, and no ability to differentiate between flesh and crop. Machinery manufacturers build in to machines all sorts of safety features and devices. Who is to be held respon sible if the operator short-circuits these safety devices for the sake of exped iency. Some safety experts will tell you the corn picker is a dangerous mach ine. We contend no machine is any more dangerous than the man operat ing that machine. Just a few years ago, the major cause of accidents and accidental death on the farm was the horse. Now we have traded the horse for horse-power, but we still need horse-sense to control it. When the horse kicked his owner, it was of his own violation and at the dictates of his own will, but when a piece of machinery causes injury or death, the only will responsible is the will of the operator. The figuers continue to mount up. Will you be one of the 3,400 survivors who will be saying before the end of this year that for their loved-one it is “Too late. Too late. Too Late!’*? You may be unless you and your entire family believe in safety, think safety, talk safety, and take time to practice safety every minute of every day of your lives. At least that’s how it looks from where we stand. The American Medical Association News points out that “seemingly inno cent objects can be hazardous to very small children.” It quotes a Public Health Service report on 5,605 drown mgs that occurred in a recent year. Three-fifths of those thus killed were less than five years old. _A number of them were drowned in 5-gallon cans, buckets and crocks. In Sum, home can be a mighty haz ardous place for smallfry and con stant precaution is essential. State Corn Crop Above Average ous eating.

A prime illustration is m the stoiy of Jesus Our Lord seemed remarkable to his contemporaries In many ways, and among these was the fact that al though a teacher of religion, he did not hesitate to Dr. Foreman make friends ol women a§ well as men. The offi cial teachers of religion, the Pharisees, leaned over backward never to be friendly with women. Some of them were even called “bleeding Pharisees,” getting their foreheads banged up by running into trees and poles with their eyes shut tight for fear of seeing a woman! H* Gav* Them Tim* Jesus, let it be said again, never was “entangled” with any woman His worst enemies would have liked, no doubt, to smear his rep utation, but he never gave them the least chance But Jesus did have some warm fi lends who v. ere women, among these the best-known to us being Mary, and Martha of Bethanj. He nevei brought them flowei s nor any usual presents Yet he did give them what friends always desne, and so made his fucndship with these two women a kind of model for friends evexywheie and al ways. Fust of all, he gave them time. He had nothing to get out of them, he did not need to convert them for they were alieady his loyal believeis and fucnds He spent time m their home just sit ting and talking, he went 4 to at least one dinner paity there Friendship calls for leisine, it will not upcn m a huny.
