By dairy AnflreWS Paul Steckle, chairman Ofjhe Huron County Farm Safety Ct40-^ mittee says unless organizatiOn help in developing a Farm Safely Act they are going to live with An act that is not going to be sensible or economic, , Mr. Steckle sAd this to the Huron County Federation 'of Agriculture Thursday night in Clinton. He said, "It isn't .going tq,be long. We are entering a time in history when we are about to see a Farni Safety Apt." . Mr. Steckle used slides to show the need for roll over protection. in case a tractor turns over., He said all tractor cabs have arrived at a standard with roll over protection except some' foreign cabs. - He said, "many farmers are buying cabs for the noise level factor ,because they are realizing that a high levels& ear damage is being done." Manufacturing companies are providing tractors with a more comfortable, more enjoyable environment. He said there are three things that could help prevent accidents -- concentration anticipation and Consideration. These were the three things that enabled Jimmy Stewart, a famous Scottish racing driver to retire without any injuries. Mr. Steckle, himself a part- time farmer, said concentration requires us "to keep.our mind. on what we are doing." Consideration .means to consi- , der the effect Of your actions on, others. For example when you are driving a tractor consider whit a fast stop could do to a man riding on behind. He, said he thought more children from the age 2 to 4 are injured in farm accidents than people in any other age groupS. At this age, a child is not use to riding with his father. "I myself lost a three year old girl in a farm accident. It comes right home to your own table,' he said. Reported farm accidents in Ontario last year cost a total of $3.5 million, he said. "Every Police News During the week from the 30th of April 1975„ till the '6th of May 1975, the Seaforth Police Dep't has investigated 24 occurren9es.

Steckl Mr. Steckle Said the Farm Safety Committee members are appointed by municipal councils and are trying to ,education people and groups. Robert Drummond said ' he didn't know how the 'committee could prevent "stupidity" and that the accident rate wouldn't decrease until you get people to Use a little common sense. Mason Bailey asked about the effect of inexperienced help and the fatigue factor on the accident rate. M r. Steckle said the mushroom and tobacco industries have the highest accident •rate in the farming- -industry due to inexperienced labour and 'fatigue also i"s an important cause of accidents. , Mr. Steckel said 25 per cent of the total work force in agriculture in Ontario today participate in Workmen's Compensation.
