New Fall Stock Arriving Daily The accidental death rate on the farm is 20 per cent higher by estimate, than the national average, according to the Canada Safety Conned, In its national campaign Farm Safety Week July 25 to 31 the Council stresses the need for more safety practices and caution in everyday farm activities, The campaign is co- sponsored -by the Canadian Farm and. Industrial Equipment Institute. The need for such a campaign is underlined by the fact that, while the farm accident rate is higher than the average for Canada, the percentage of Canadians engaged in farming has been declining. The paradoxical ratio of a high farm accident rate to a decreasing percentage of the population in farming is partly explained by the increasing use of more powerful and complicated machinery, But the basic cause of accidents—on the farm or off—is human neglect of safety procedures and thoughtlessness by farm residents themselves. In one year accidents take the lives of approximately 1,400 Canadian farm and rural residents. They injure about 25,000 of them and permanently disable around 1,500. Studies show that farm machinery fatalities per 100,000 farmers doubled in the past decade, Of all fatal machinery accidents for example 78 per cent involve tractors and of these more than half are overturn accidents. The Canada Council makes available through provincial safety councils, a number of booklets, leaflets, and posters on farm safety. Not the least important is one booklet on farm machinery safety and consistent with the above figures, its first feature is on tractors listing 26 points on safe practices with respect to tractors. For example, since overturns are frequent, overhead protective frames (roll bars) and crush-resistent cabs are among the needed features listed for safety. Farm mechanization has reduced the time and effort required for many farm operations and has helped bring about the spectacular increase in Canadian agricultural productivity. But machinery has brought increased, hazards. And though hazards are inherent in the equipment, it is the human lack of care and attention to safe operating practices that cause the accidents with machinery. Following the tractor, farm machines most commonly involved in fatal accidents are combines, balers, corn pickers, forage harvesters and spreaders. The principal type of farm machinery accident involves the victim being caught in machines or being crushed. Many farmers fail to keep guards and shielding in place or they attempt to service equipment while it is under power, In some accidents they have fallen from moving equipment. According to national studies, 72 per cent of accidents involving rural residents occur on the farm or in the farm home and 28 per cent off the farm. On the farm 45 per cent of the accidents happen in the farm yard, 28 per cent in the field and 27 per cent in and around the home, Off the farm 42 per cent are on main highways, 30 per cent on secondary roads and 28 per cent elsewhere, Youngsters are distressingly significant in the farm accidents statistics. Ten per cent of farm machinery deaths occur in the under-10 age group. A further 16 per cent involve the 10-19 age group, all of whom are killed in overturns or are crushed. "Children and young people who lack the physical capacity, experience and judgement, should not be permitted to operate tractors and farm machinery", is the warning given by the Canada Safety Council and the Canadian Farm and Industrial Equipment Institute. The organizations also point out that the practice of allowing children or even adults to ride as passengers on tractors and farm equipment should not be permitted. Fuels oils and greases require safe handling too. Accidents result in lack of knowledge and carelessness in the handling and storage of petroleum products and in refueling equipment. Some farmers their employees and families still forget to turn off switches while fueling is being carried out, Another example of fire danger is the re- starting of a hot motor when fuel has been spilled on it or near it. In the farm home, common types of accidents are falls, fire, poisoning and suffocation. Making a home neater and more orderly makes it safer. The handling of agricultural chemicals is another activity that can cause poisoning accidents when proper procedures arid storing are not kept in mind. In its plea to all farm and other rural residents to help "weed out farm hazards", the Canada Safety Council points out that the responsibility of preventing the accidents rests with everyone engaged directly or indirectly with the farming industry.

The Teachers walked all over the Colts giving them a 22 to 3 Are fish Fast Swimmers? Not many anglers have time to think about how fast a fish swims when he's hooked, but , one thing is sure—he's pro!), ably going as fast as he can. -How much speed do fish de, velop? There's a wide varia- tion between species, and even within a specie as far as or- dinary travel, top speed and highest sustainable speed are concerned. Information gathered by Red Fisher at Mercury out- boards shows that most ang- lers tend to overestimate the speed a hooked fish swims. One of the fastest species is the barracuda, and they have been experimentally clocked at 27 miles per hour. It's doubtful if other fast species, such as tuna, wahoo and mar- lin, exceed this rate. Brown trout swim at just over five miles an hour, while striped bass have been checked at 12 mph. Experiments have shown that fish •swim by alternately contracting muscles on each side of their body, in effect pushing themselves against the water. How long the fish is, and the rate at which its tail oscillates, determine the speed. Vertical fins, such as the dorsal, anal and caudal, are used mostly for balance. Paired fins, generally the pec- toral fins, are used for steer- in Some of the flat fishes, such as flounders and rays, move by undulating their bodies in a flattened sine wave. Visual- ize this movement as a flag held horizontally in a stiff wind. Some fish, such as angler- fish, propel themselves by jet- ting streams of water through their gills. Many other species use this same method to assist them in turns, along with body and fin movements. Generally speaking, most species of freshwater fish are capable of extreme speed for only a short distance. This is helpful in securing food, or escaping from another preda- tor. And, undoubtedly, when a fish is hooked, it calls upon reserve strength to make a final slashing run through the water in a desperate bid for freedom. drubbing. Nothing seemed to go wrong for the top place Teachers and nothing right for the Colts. Next Monday night at 6:30 the Colts play the Bluebirds and in the second game the Teachers meet the Kinsmen. .11A—Clinton News-Record, Thursday, July 27, 1972 Less popillatioin but higher accident rate Dickert of Harriston, and the youngest person present was Myla Lovell.
