Guelph, November 9 th 17 ROYAL WINTER FAIR, C.N.E, Coliseum, Toronto. For Farmer When a farmer stopped having to rest his horses periodically he also Lopped resting himself. The failure to observe rest periods and the accompanying fatigue is blamed for many farm acci­ dents, according to a. report from the American Medical As­ sociation received by the Health League Of Canada. Dr. Franklin H. Top, , from Iowa City, points out that deaths from farm accidents in 1954 to­ talled 14,000, a rate of 61.7 deaths per 100,000 farm residents. Motor vehicle accidents were responsi­ ble for the greatest share, fol­ lowed by “work” accidents, in­ cluding accidents with tfarm machinery. Among major indus­ tries farming rates third in the number of accidental deaths. ThC high level of work acci­ dents on the farm, he says, is partially due to the shift from horse • drawn tc machinery. “Horses had periodically, "nd motor - driven to be u rested _________ .... with this came rest for the 'driver. Furthermore, J the same horses could not be iworked 10 to 15 hours a day for several days,”'lie says, adding I that it is not unusual for a farm- Thirteen-year-old Leslie Riley,' Riley, Hensall; Joan Sinclair, pupil of S.S. 7 Hibbert, officially S.S. 2 Tuckersmith; Grant Jones, captured his fifth consecutive | Grades three and four—Grace championship qf Hensall Schol: Riley, Robert McNaughton, and Fair Friday night at- a concert Ted Mock, Hensall. in the town hall.

Even the suburban gardener may contribute to his own .de­ struction .by placing compost heaps too close to buildings. Giv­ en the right weather conditions, spontaneous combustion niaj! start the rubbish burning. The dual associations, which are going all-out to prevent such fires, urge farmers to remove weeds and undergrowth, to clean, up and destroy rubbish that may' contribute to a. fire.- .

It may be adequate to service the house, but tinder constant pump­ ing the water ih the well does not return -fast enough to main­ tain steady pumping. The associations suggest- that in addition th the usual garden hose, fire extinguishers, filled water pails and ladders, every farmer should ■ keep on hand equipment for’ fighting field fires such as 'back-pack pumps, spray­ ers, fire swatters, brooms or wet burlap bags. And don’t be afraid to call your neighbor—and the nearest fire1 department—to help in fighting grass fires.
