Two groups discussed the evening’s program on “Safety on the Farm’’. It was decided that the reason for so many tractoi* accidents was due in part, to carelessness. Tractors are easily turned over and are faster and Stronger than people realize, with many complicated attachments. Since the machines are used all year round for so many purposes, and with young and old driving them because of the labor shortage, it Was decided that the possibility of accident was in­ creased. In answer to the question of how accidents could be prevented, the groups felt that National Film Board pictures, keeping children off trac­ tors, education on safety measures and teaching the hazards of fire, machinery, electric wiring and first aid measures would be a help. Rev, R. D. A. Currie and John Pur- don won at crokinole and Mrs. J. D. Beecroft and Kenneth Purdon held high points in euchre. Mrs. Jas. Fal­ coner and Russel Purdon were low.
