"Trends in corn harvest equip ment show the growing popular- ity of self-propelled combines with corn heads to handle the heavier crops which today's far- mers grow, " reports Mr, Wright. "New pickers also feature big- ger capacity and better shield- ing, facilitating the harvesting of corn without the frequent, annoying and sometimes dan- gerous stops to unclog or re- move trash. However, not ev- ery farm has the latest equip- ment. Many of the older ma- chines do not have the advan- tage of our recent developments in safety research and do not carry these safety features. "On the other hand, far too many farmers remove the pow- * Zr-take,off or other shields and guards, thereby defeating ef- forts of manufacturers to pro- vide safe and efficient ma- chines. Most corn picker acci- lents, for example, happen be- cause the operator doesn't shut off the power before cleaning, unclogging, adjusting, or ser- vicing the harvesting machine. All manufacturers provide an )perator's manual illustrating :afe and efficient ways of oper- ating the machine. If these ;afety precautions are followed, ge could reduce our corn pick- mg accidents to a minimum ;ince safety is 99% common sense." FORDWICH—There was a very good crowd at the Howick Fall Fair, held here on Saturday, despite the poor weather condi- tions. The gate receipts were down somewhat but the num- ber of exhibitors had greatly in- creased. Pupils from 16 Howick schools and eight Turnberry schools marched to the grounds to music provided by two bands from Norwell District High School. Miss Helen Johnston was the Howick- Turnberry Queen. She received a $15.00 prize and a gift certificate from Gary's Beauty Salon. She later com- peted in the Centennial Queen contest for District No. 8, which was won by Miss Marlene Johns of Exeter. Miss Johns re- ceived $25.00. Ken Edgar of Wroxeter was master of ceremonies. Ken Stewart, warden of Huron Coun- ty officially opened the fair. School project winners were: 1.
