If memory serves correctly this is Farm -
Safety Week--fiet by any means a week
when all on the farms are safe4 but a
remindcrp,eziod, alImed at reducing, farm
accidents. .•,
There are se .rnarty weeks set aside for
safe buating, safe driving, safe everythin
that vie tend 'kir bunch them all, together and
say a silent '''SQ what'' •
Forna Safety Week*, howeveris espe-
cially signilficant if for no other reason than
the strk fact that the Incidence of accidents,
cleathS and iniuries fp farm work is extreme-
ly high..Thereare more obviously hazardous
occupations, but tanners and their families
rate near the top of the list, for injuries
• • iincurrcdi tho,C,QUrze of
Oneof the reasonsmay be the -Wide
variety of tasks and the broad range of
*egoitirrient used, on the farm, A Hydro
. worker, for example, knows that he woll face
. a predetermined set . of hazards when he
climbs any giv,ert pole. He has all the In-
formation about voltage, height 'above 4he
ground, etc, in addition he works for a giant
. corporation Which has the money and the

trained safety officers tt! drill the workers in
all the soundest procedures by which to
avoidaccidents.
On the farm it is not the same. irs e4ery

log, when a cow may ,clecide to :kick or a .
muddy rut may upset a tractor. Safety on the
farm requires constant Vigilance and a great
deal of Cool judgment. '
*Perhaps the most tragic type of farm
accident is that u which' 'children are the
innocent here the farmer on
do sornething'practicak. A shocking: number
of YOngsters are injured or killed' because
their elders are too soft-hearted to keeptherri
out of harm's way. It is .understandable that
a father er eldqr,brottrtQrmt:44
no when a child wants to ride along with him
.on thetractor,' but the grief niuSt be nearly
unbearable when the youngster falls under
the moving wheels of an implement • ,
Farm Safety Week is something more
than just another propaganda effort. It
should,bea jolting reminder that death and
injury are a part of farm life whenever
caOtir, is allowed to slip. •
Better come home
Perhaps • we should' refrain ? from
comment about Canada's place on the inter
national commission in South • Vietnam..
Admittedly,,' it is a Complicated situation',
.with undercurrents Of tension which We May
fail to -comprehend at this distance. How.
ever, after the .northern :soldiers kept two,
Canadian officers as prisoners for neatly
three weeks, it would appear that the Cana- .
dian presence is, fruitless. ,
The PeacetreafY,Which the international
commission is supposed to be supervising is
a farce from the beginning, because, in Spite
of the treaty the war goes on. The Pace has
been reduced somlwhat as farasAmerican,
'participation IS concerned, but neither' side
,has laid down arms or ',called borne its
troops,- The - Americans • are Sfifk bombing,
targets in neighboring Cambodia and the
North and South Vietnamese are still at one
another's throats.
There's something silly about a neutral
. country, such as our own playing along in a.
role which has little orrto meaning.- if tf.ie,
Presence. 'of -- ',Canadian and .other
'fortes was actually keeping the combatants
apart; as hasbeen the case .in Cyprus for
Many ,years; there would be no doubt about
the . validity of the operation. . 'risk:
Canadian lives and spend, Canadian money
in Southeast Asia* certainly' seems ,to be a
-wasted effort.

In the United States \ the constitution
permits a wideAleavage between the elected
representative of the , people in both the
senate and the house of representatives on

on the other. It is true that the. president can
only hold office if he has been elected, but

The American news media and the most

'openly questioning the need for changes in
the constitution Which will correct some of
the weaknesses in the basic procedures and
powers of the president. Watergate and the
foul mess it has disclosed, may well prove to
be a pivotalpoint in American history -the
point at which the vast majority of 'sincere
and sensible American voters will demand
changes in their political system to that
there will be less opportunity for deceit' and
abuse of power. One of those changes should
obviously be that the president's aides be re-
sponsible in a far' more meaningful Way, to
the people of the United States, rather than
to one man or one political party. .
