SAFETY IS IMPORTANT Precaution Always Saves Lives And Lost -Time Accidents JULY 21 TO 27 Is Farm Safety Week PLEASE PLAY IT SAFE Farming has become one of the most dangerous occupations in Canada ranking third only to lumbering, traditionally the most hazardous industry, and mining. Farmers no longer are able to take their time and unhurriedly walk behind a team of horses. Farm machinery is cumbersome and complicated and there is a machine for every job which compounds the places where accidents can happen. The alarming figures of farm fatalities and lost -time accidents prompted the formation of The Ontario Farm Safety Council six years ago. The results of the survey and the education program have proved conclus- ively that the dreadful toll can be halted. Even the U.S. Government has taken notice of the success of this program, inaugurating a similar one of its own. The rest is up to the farmer and his family. OBSERVE SAFETY RULES ON THE FARM. PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR INVESTMENT. This special page has been sponsored by the listed Wingham and District Farm Dealers as a public service. Farming ranks third among the most hazardous occu- pations in Canada. In human and dollar costs the statistics are staggering. It is therefore in the interest of our county and the entire nation, that all possible care be taken to observe the specific safety measures that apply to farm work—not only during the Safety Week but throughout the year as well.
