• Safety Week
(Continued from Page 1)
Its theme -is “Inspection plus
Correction "equals Protection.”
The 20th annual farm safety
program is sponsored by the
Department of Agnculture and
the National Safety Council.
Secretary of Agriculture,
Onille Freeman noted that,
“Every hour an accident claims
the life of a farm resident.
Someone living on a farm sut
lers a disabling injury every
40 seconds ”
He called on farmers to
practice safety every day of
the year, not merely during
the week. “Being careful is
no more than common sense.”
he said, “But it requires con
stant attention and mental
alertness. When a man is fa
tigued or in a hurry to finish
a job or trip, he becomes ac
cident prone.
The National Safety coun
cil has stressed a different
phase of safety for every day
in the week. Sunday has been
designated as the day to stress
“Reverence of life" Take time
to care Be open minded *o
safety suggestions. Realize that
haste makes waste. Plan to
avoid an overcrowded sche
dule.
Monday's theme is “Safety
Begins at Home”. Keep your
tann and farm home in order.
Eliminate hazards as you find
them Be a good housekeeper
