(Pat Livingston photo) Play it safe with oversized loads. A suggestion we have would be that the suppliers of building goods and pipe have proper flags readily available for their customers. Take some responsibility upon yourself to ensure that when you haul long. loads on the public roadways that it is a . safe undertaking. This may , seem like a 'minor safety concern but by . taking, a small safety precaution you ' could prevent a major catastrophe in your. 'com- munity and in some, innocent per- son's. life. We thank you for the space in your paper to address this concern. If any of your readers have any safety concerns, that they would like the. Bruce County Farm Safety Association to address please speak to any of our members either at one of.our many displays that are being .presented or by. calling 881-3671. Bruce County, Farm Safety Assoc' Dear editor: On, behalf of the Bruce County Farm Safety Association, I would like to thank your newspaper for all of the support you have given to us to promote our Safety messages to the farm cominunity in the pasta From time to time certain safety concerns are brought to our atten- tion either at one of our regular meetings or by a concerned member of the 'community at one of the displays we regularly set up at. various farm meetings and events. The most recent Concern is one regarding the use of proper flags and ,lights for long anti oversized loads while on' public roadways. The highway traffic act clearly lays out the criteria for hauling such loads. It states that any object ex- tending more than five feet beyond the end of a trailer or tailgate must, TO THE EDITOR have a red flag on the end of the load in daytime and be properly lighted at night. Because farmers are often in a situation where they are hauling goods' from point A to point B we would like to take this opportunity to ask that they take extra 'safety precautions while hauling such loads as building materials and steel pipe. We, as thelpublic, must take more responsibility to adhere to rules that _are in, place for the safety of all. Due to (imitations in resources and manpower, . the Ministry. of Transportation and Police Forces cannot' always enforce these rules. Ask for historic IPM marker The International Plowing Match (IPM) , hosted by Bruce County last September is history, and the Plowmen's Association wants that history marked with a monument. IPM chair Jack Cumming suggested a joint committee of county council and. the Plowmen's Association to put up a monument marking both the 1976 and 1993 matches. Rarely has the IPM been hosted twice on the same proper- ty,. Cumming said. ' "I think the other unique thing is we've only had two lnterna- tional Plowing Matches in Bruce county and they've both been highly successful. I think it's' something that should be com- memorated 'and recorded for posterity," he added. ' Cumtning was at'Bruce'Coun- ty Council March 22 to present an aerial photo of the tented city ' last year's match. "Bruce Beckoned and every- one responded in "fine style," Cumming said, thanking county council for supporting the 1993 match bid as far back as '1984. Warden Milt McIver praised Cumining's committee and 411 the volunteers for making Bruce County a, showcase during the match.. Thanking Cumming for the large framed photo, McIver said it "indicates the immense activity that occurred on this site." Cumming didn't' get official response to his suggestion of an IPM monument. Meanwhile, council is looking for a permanent home for the sculpture it commissioned to mark the IPM and the county's 125th anniversary. The life-size model of a pioneer and horse pulling a stump spent the winter at the county museum in Southampton. Most people think there's only one way to help the developing world. We haw 26.
