E16N7-COYN7Y SURVEY SXOWS
31 Die, Property Damage $600,92
Wtngi}arr� Advance-T$mes, TIwrs4ay, June 3 X1100 -Page 3
These are startling figures yet they represent only eight
counties in Ontario. The Ontario Farm Safety Council reports a
marked decrease in farm accidents but the toll is still far too high.
The 1963-64 eight county survey also points out the following
figures: 45 permanent injuries; 334 temporary injuries; 9,566
day off work; $63,740 in medical expenses.
The regrettable part of these statistics is that in most cases
the cause was carelessness. Farmers working with heavy, high
powered equipment should be continually aware of the dangers of
poor judgment. One careless moment can result in hours of suf.
forking and weeks of lost time, permanent physical damage or pos.
aibly death. Your farm equipment takes the hard labor out of
work, but it requires careful planning and operation. Don't be-
come a statistic! Observe Farm Safety Week fifty-two times,
a year!
PLAY IT SAFE! OBSERVE FARM SAFETY EVERY DAY!

Manufacturers put only one seat on a tractor and that's for the operator. This
is no accident—it's planned that way for safety. Don't risk accidents or toy
with death. Play it safel
What caused this accident? The operator can't tell us—he was killed Wet
and slippery grass? Travelling too fast? Poor judgment? Changes in cir-
cumstances may be simple, but deadly, if we don't take them into account.
Don't let your life hang
on the balance!
