up their act and change their
attitude , towards farm safety,
members of the Huron Federation
of Agriculture were told at their
meeting in Clinton, Thursday
night. The speaker was Ted.
Whitworth of the Ontario Farm
Safety Assocation.
"Farmers have the highest
accident frequency and the
biggest single factor is attitude.
You could get all sorts of
information, but if you don't pay
any attention to it, it won't do any
good," he said.
Mr. Whitworth pointed out that
it is estimated Ontario farmers
will pay $30 million because of
accidents ' in 1976. •
'We have to have a united
effort of all the farmers in Ontario
to clean up their acts. On the way
up here I saw a guy on a tractor
hanging out of the cab wiping off
the window while he was discing.
Now that is an accident just
waiting for a place to happen."
A farmer should be careful to
replace all guards on machinery
Mr. Whitworth said.
"I know when you're in a hurry
and it is about to rain it is' easier
to leave a guard off. But if you
lose an arm or a leg it is going to
rain anyway and you won't get
yotir crop in."
farrowing barns. Following him,

' The Federation passed several
resolutions at their meeting. A
proposal by Bev Brown to initiate,
a program whereby members
would be trained to speak to
different orgainizations (such as
consumer groups) on farm
problems was unanimously
adopted.
It was also agreed to accept a
resolution to set up a program
whereby farmers would invite an
urban dweller to dinner some
time. It .was felt these actions
would help increase the
understanding between
producers and consumers of their
separate problems.
Two resolutions presented- by
Jake Van Wonderen were
discussed.One asking that the
Canadian Federation of
Agriculture petition the federal
government to "allow - a lot more
immigrants, who could create a
living for themselves and be able
to buy food, that would 'mean less
hungry people and a broader
market for agricultural produce"
was tabled for further study. The
second resolution presented by
Mr'. 'Van Wonderen asking that
the OFA bargain with the
provincial government for
"sufficient funds for tile drainage
at an interest rate of 2 per cent
below prime" was adopted.
