Safety group elects officers At a recent meeting of the Huron County Farm and Home Safety Association, directors decided to sponsor a Power Take Off Clinic. This Clinic will be held in conjunction with the farm machinery dealers in Huron County and will be held on one day - April 1- only. On this day farmers may take their power take off shafts to their dealer to have them inspected and repaired. The dealers are waiving the cost of labour to replace broken or worn parts on that day. The farmer will be charged for replacement parts only. The safety related components for power take off shafts pertain to such items•as nylon bearings, tumbling shields, guards and other items which might save a limb, arm or life. This should prove to be one of the most worthwhile projects ever laun- ched by the Huron County Farm and Home Safety Association. Further details about this Clinic are available by contacting John Underwood, presi- dent, at 335-6277. Over the past 10 years there have been 458 deaths in Ontatio according to information compiled by the Farm Safety Association Incorporated, Guelph, Ontario. Huron County has the third highest number of deaths in Ontario with Grey and Wellington Counties exceeding the 25 deaths by only one higher in each area. During 1984, seven deaths were reported in Huron County. This was higher by double than any preceeding year since 1975. Officers for 1986 are Past President - Robert Stirling; President- John Underwood; Vice -President- Hugh Flynn; Secretary- Don Young; Treasurer- Ron Gross. A safety poster contest for students of Huron County schools will again be conducted during the month of April. This year there will be four categories. Three prizes will be allot- ted in each category with prize money ranging from $15 to $4. Participants may enter the contest through their school or on their own initiative. They should contact the principal of their school for full rules and regulations. All entries must be in the hands of the secretary by April 30. As well, the Directors decided to again offer a similar type contest through the Agricultural Societies to be held in conjunction with their fair. Details of this contest are available by contacting the secretary of your local fair board. The next meeting will be held at Clinton public school, Thursday, March 20 at 8:15 p.m. FARMERS You could ave money and time if you come to the income tax specialists!
