We can close our eyes to this great
loss of lives, property and time but we
have no right to do this. We freely
state that we are greatly interested in
the welfare of our community. Work
' ing together to prevent accident
surely contributes to the welfare of
the community. Refresh our thinling
on how to so conduct ourselves that
aeidents will not occur, during the
week July 24 to 30, and then practice
what we know is right 52 weeks every
, year and watch the accident rate re-
duce to a much lighter figure.

Agricultureal Economics indicate that
falls accounted for one fourth of ac-
cidents to farm people. Accidents in-
volving machinery and those involv-
ing animals each accounted for about
i one eighth of the farm accidents for
the country as a whole. Sixteen per-
cent of all accidents to farm people
occured in the home. Fifty-six per-
cent elsewhere on the farm, 11 per-
cent on roads and streets and 17 per-
cent off the farm. Fifty-four percent
of injuries were sustained while the
[victim was engaged in farm work, 17
percent in recreational activity and 6
percent in housework. The remaining
23 percent included injuries resulting

Why A Safety Program
The American people are subject
to many campaigns, spe:lal weeks,
special days and other ob ervances of
one kind or another. At times we
feel like asking for a special week or
month to be set aside to stop all cam-
paigns. We usually reach this frame
of mind afher reading about a cam-
paign or special period for something
that seems most unnecessary tc us.
Few if any will say that we overdo
this matter of attempting to prevent
accidents. Most aeidents do not
happen, they are caused. With this in
mind you and I will be playing fair
; with our families and neighbors if we
do all we can to prevent accidents.
By concentrating on ac idents pre-
vention the veek of July 24 to 30 we,

these units if we keep them in bal-

teachings? No, but surely our schools
should be a dispensary of the highest
and finest Christain ideals. They
. should be open to minister, all alike.
I who respect the rights and beliefs of
ners. Our school is strong and most
- ive agency and should be used to
promote freedom and idealism. When
our public schools close their door to
Bible ideals or ministers they have
denied the grand purpose of pioneer
education. They stand as an agent of
disorganization and distruction.
Many things will be done religiously
but not secterainly. If public school
cease to sanction and promote Christ-
ian ideals our government will become
anorchal for they have organization
and scope that make their position
vital.

j and all others participating, are
1 simply clearing our thinking a bit
_ and reassuring burselves that acci-
dents can be prevented. No thinking
person will say accident prevention
should be practiced during the week
set aside for the campaign and then
shelf the idea the rest of the year.
It is well to take stock once a year and
see where we are getting with the pro-
blem.
The National Safety Council nas
prepaied some figures that deserve
the attention of every good Amer-
ican. They found that the total time
lost as a result of accidents to farmers
in any typical year equals the time
needed to produce one naf the aver-
age wheat crop in the United States.
That statement mentions the time
wasted only, about 17,000,000 days.
A conservative estimate of the cost 01
these accidents is given as $43,000,000.
An average of 2,400 accidents occur to
farm people every day of the year.
Last year a resident on one out of
. every six farms was the victim of an
_ accident. Thousands of fingers were
■ cut off, feet crushed, ribs broken, eyes
injured, arms and legs broken, faces
burned and ruptures sustained, in
