However, when loads of loose hay or bales are piled high on it the situation changes, Loose hay, particu- larly, creates a very bouncing, unstable platform on which to ride. Hal Wright, farm safety specialist with the Ontario Department of Agriculture, warns that while it is fun for your children to hitch a ride to the barn, it could be dangerous. During the 1960 haying season six Ontario farm people were killed and 173 injured, in- cluding 48 children. So be kind to your children by re- fusing to allow them to ride on the load of hay alone, Iuevale personals Mr. and Mrs. R. J.

Never Leave Power Mower Back at the beginning of the century, a "whirling der- vish" was a fanatical religious dancer of the far east. Nowa- days, we have a mechanical counterpart --the power rotary lawn mower! It's much more dangerous, too. When you realize, that the tips of the blade may be rotating at over 150 miles per hour, you can understand why it's a dangerous machine when carelessly hand- led, One should always re- move the sparkplug wire before attempting to clear, lubricate_ or adjust the mower, and never leave it, even for a moment while it is still running. Your children or your pets could be victims. They know by experience, and not by books; and experi- ence is everything; It's hearin', and seein', and tryin'; and after that, a feller must be born fool if he don't know. —T, C.

Ask You an egg, And we figure the same is true of the Volkswagen Sedan. Don't think we haven't tried. any hen, just can't design a more functional shape for (As a matter of fact, the Volkswagen's been changed nearly 3,000 times). But we can't improve our basic design, Like the egg, it's the right kind of package for what goes inside. So that's where most of our energy goes. To get more power without using more gas. To put synchromesh on first gear. To improve the heater. That. kind of thing, As a result,. our package carries four adults, and tiieh luggage, at about 38 miles to a gallon of regular gas and 40,000 miles to a set of tires. We've made a few external changes, of oourse. Such as push-button doorknobs. Which is one up on the egg.
