See you next fall when you take a trip
Slips and falls account for fully 23 per
cent of all reported lost time injuries. Most
falls do not cause time off work, but end up
in bruises, scrapes and stiff muscles.
Others result in broken bones and long
term pain and agony.
This time of year is ripe for falls! Slip-
pery, muddy ground, snow and ice, wet
leaves and uneven surfaces are factors
that need to be addressed in the prevention
of falls.
Wear proper footwear. It sounds like a
basic rule, but how many pair of boots are
worn after the tread is gone? Hopefully,
we wouldn't drive a car with bald tires,
and we should give the same consideration
to our feet.
Also, don't try to side step the realities of
the season. There's no shame in Wearing
proper footwear outside, then changing in-
to indoor shoes later. Wearing smooth

leather soles is inviting an accident to
happen.
Keep the pathway clear. Inside or out-
side, this is important. A good housekeep-
ing practice is to put everything in its
place - out of the way. Take special precau-
tions around animal handling areas.
Know how to fall. If possible, you should
try to spread the impact of falling over as
much an area of your body as you can. You
don't want to land on an elbow, knee, or
outstretched hand. Landing on a small
part of your body can result in broken
bones and often it's not the fall, but the lan-
ding that will hurt you.
ARM REPORT
A pot luck dinner preceded the
Christmas meeting of the Lucknow
Presbyterian W.M.S. held at the manse
December 7..
Mrs. Evelyn Little was in charge of the
program, opening with scripture. Reflec-
tions on the Advent season were given by
Celia Aitchison, Dorothy Brown, Rhoda
MacKenzie and Mildred Loree.
Reports for the year were read and the
same officers were returned for another
year of service. Roll call was answered by
19 members with a Christmas thought.
Nan'ies of shut-ins to be remembered at
Christmas were drawn.
Mrs. Ramsay closed the meeting with
meditation while Rhoda presented a dos-
. prayer.
Slow down and look where you're going.
`Tis the season to move quickly to get
everything done. Take a minute to wipe off
tractor, truck and combine steps. Walking
on loose grain is like walking on marbles.
Put a bag of salt or sand in your vehicles
now. Carry a flashlight to light your way
on unknown territory. Everything seems
different in the dark. If there's something
to hold onto, grab it!
If you make the NO RIDER policy a
rule, you'll never have to worry about your
children falling off of machinery.
Make your next TRIP somewhere ex-
otic, not to the hospital emergency room!
FEDERAL GRAIN STABILIZATION
The federal government will pay more
than $60 million under the Agricultural
Stabilization Act for eastern grain crops
marketed in 1987-88.
• It was recently announced that support
prices under the Act would be set at 100 per
cent of the previous five-year average
market price, adjusted for changes in the
cash costs of production. This is above the
minimum statutory level of 90 per cent.
While all grains and oilseeds crops will
be supported at the 100 per cent level,
preliminary estimates show payments will
be triggered only for grain corn, barley
and canola.
That would mean a total estimated pay-
DOri't be left out
mthecoid.
