(Canada’s Health and Welfares
Canada is a land of plentiful
food supplies, a land where agri
culture plays a most important
role in our national life. Largely
because of our agricultural posi
tion, Canada has become one of
the most important food pro
ducers of the world.
Canada, with a population of
roughly 14 million, has a farm
population estimated at three
and one-half million and this
groui> represents a segment of
the population which is extreme
ly vulnerable to the effects of
fire, accident or illness. On a
farm, where illness or accident
to one person may bring pro
duction to a standstill for many
days, there is much truth in the
slogan “one out, everybody out”.
If a store in a town or city
burns there is generally some
other place where the business
can be carried on. When farm
buildings burn, years of work
and an irreplaceable harvest of
ten go up in the flicker of an
eye. Illness, accident or death on
the farm are vastly more im
portant in the production picture
than similar events in urban
areas.
And the farm, through the
years, has been the site of a re
latively high percentage of ac
cidents. The accidents occur on
all parts of the farm—in the
fields, the barns and the home.
■Surveys of farm accidents in
dicate that falls ,encounters with
cutting or piercing instruments,
and crushing account for 71%
of the total of lost
accidents. Almost
time lost is due
such as kicks from
and misadventures
and motors. Burns
ible for the balance.
Unfortunately for farm pro
duction, statistics indicate that
by far the majority of farm
cidents happen to people in
working years. In fact. 84%
all farm accidents happen
people between the ages of
and 64. Fifty-eight percent
the accidents occur in the fields
and 27% in the home or out
buildings, so naturally the prov
inces with the greatest acreage

Fire is the worst accident haz
ard on most farms. Many farm
homes are of highly inflammable
construction and employ heating
methods that are relatively dangerous from ” - - -
fire hazard. , __L„
farms still employ methods of
illumination
that are potentially dangerous.
A sizeable percentage of our
farm homes have been construct
ed by inexperienced, if willing,
labor, and often the chimneys
and stovepipes could be con
sidered a menace.
Another factor in farm fires
is the type of wood burned in
many stoves and ranges. Gener
ally speaking, the wood is of
whatever type happens to be
easily accessible and it may of
ten be of a type that burns
rapidly, carrying off large vol
umes of sparks which may en
danger wooden roofs or adjacent
buildings.
Considering the proporetion of
farm residents to the population
as a whole, it is significant to
note that during the years 19 46
and 1949 there were 321 rural
