Tractors are for work,
not play. And they each
have only one seat-for the
operator. Unfortunately,
many people -most often
children-are seriously in-
jured and even killed in
falls from tractors on
which they were allowed to
ride.
Such mishaps can be
prevented by following a
few precautions, points out
Kirby C. Vanover, county
agent with the Texas Agri-
cultural Extension Service,
Texas A&M Univer-
sity System.
These include the follow-
ing:
•Keep children and non-
workers off of and away
from farm machinery. Do
not offer rides or give-in to
a child's plea to ride along.
Make “No Riders" your
policy.
•Make sure no one has
climbed aboard the tractor
or trailing equipment with-
out your knowledge. See
that everyone is out of the
way before moving.
•A tractor is not a
suitable place to babysit.
Arrange for child care if
necessary.
•Make it clear that
young tractor operators
cannot let friends or sib-
lings ride along. They
should not allow another
driver without your per-
mission.
•Try to arrange for safe
transportation for workers
rather than allowing them
to ride on equipment.
•When you must ride
along to supervise or in-
struct a new tractor opera-
tor, choose the safest pos-
sible place to sit or stand-
and hang on tight.
Tractor accidents gener-
ally increase as farm and
ranch activities get into
full swing with the spring
season, notes Vanover. At-
tention to a few safety
precautions can head off
many of these mishaps.

Working on floors usually results in extreme
discomfort to the knees. Now you need to suffer
no more. Rig some knee pads from two large
plastic sponges. All you do is attach each sponge
to your pants legs with a pair of large safety
pins. It’ll be like kneeling on a pillow. And after
you're through, the sponges should still be good
for cleaning purposes.

professionals responsible

The sole purpose of to-

dustry is caring for the
community. In insuring the
well-being of the citizens of
this state, hospital staff
contributions prevail in
public welfare, higher
standards of care and for
educational and research
programs.
These programs are de
dicated to raise health
standards to higher levels
by educating Texans in
living healthier lifestyles.
The hospitals of Texas care
about individual and com
munity health.

Simple Precautions
Cut Energy Costs
If the home is properly insulated, where could one look
for further energy savings?
The properly insulated home retains heat. This means
it takes less energy to keep the home comfortable. The
cost of heating can be further reduced by lowering the
thermostat at least five degrees when no on^is home or
everyone retires for the night. If everyone in the home will
be at work or in school during the day, it’s simple for the
last one leaving and the first one returning to adjust the
thermostat. While it is a good idea never to waste water,
it’s a very good idea to use hot water sparingly. This
doesn’t mean skimping, just being careful, not wasteful.
Here are two good ideas. First, insulate the water heater.
This will result in less energy being used. If heat escapes
and temperature of water in the tank comes down, the
burner comes on, even though no water has been removed
or used. Also, keep an eye out for faulty washers on hot
water controls. A small, but constant drip puts extra
work on your water heater and adds to your energy costs.
How do you remove paint stains from clothing?
Render prompt attention if the clothing is valuable, if
paint is oil-based, sponge with turpentine and launder im-
mediately. Spots made by latex paints may be rubbed
vigorously with laundry detergent, then washed.
