No. 4 Farm Forum met at the home of Mr, and Mrs. W. R. Lobb, Hohnesville, for the March 8 meeting. There were 18 present and a lively, discussion of the questions followed the dramatized broadcast. In reply to the question dealing with why the tractor is the great- est source of farm accidents and how to remedy this situation, the forum decided that this statement is true because: (1) It is used more than any other one piece of, machinery; (2) People are not well enough , informed on the po- tential dangers of a tractor; (3) It has 'a great attraction for children; (4) People try to per- form almost impossible tasks with it; (5) They try to stop too quick- ly; turn without slackening the speed, and sometimes are inclined to show off a little to prove a cer- tain make of tractor has . more desirable points than some other make. Remedies for this situation would be: (1) Teach and preach safety to the beginners; (2) Have the manufacturers cut down on the speed at which a tractor may be driven; (3) Keep extra riders, especially children. off the trac- tor: (4) Wives should keep their husbands', or mother their sons', clothing patched and mended so there will be no loose ends to be caught in moving parts; (5) Make people safety -conscious and try to persuade them that there is no need for the haste which so often causes accidents; (6) Teach youth from ten to 12 years of age, under adequate supervision, to drive the tractor safely, observing all the safety rules; then, when he reach- es the age when he can drive with- out supervision, the safe driving habit should have become second nature to him. "We maintain that it is 'easier to teach children of that age to drive safely than it is to teach 15 or 16 -year old"; (7) Each farmer should see that there are no possibilities for acci- dents on his farm, and his ma- chines should be always kept in good repair. The second question dealt with projects which could be carried out to promote safety on the farm. In this regard each home should have the electrical wiring checked periodically, at intervals of per- haps not more than five years. This is not really a project but we would recommend that each home be equipped with a first aid kit and each occupant of the home be taught how to use it properly. Every one in our forum should, make a resolution to go home and correct the accident hazards with- in his knowledge on his farm and in his home. Next week's meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Les.' Pearson. THE NINNERS (By Guy Cunningham) "The Niners" forum met at the home of Andrew Kirkconnell with, Mrs. Lapp leading the discussion.

The forum thought that one thing that could be done would be to see for sure that there were no passengers on the tractor and to see that tractors are not left run- ning, at least where small children are. The second- question about how to promote safety brought the sug- gestions that first aid courses would be of help, and an exting- uisher kept in shape to put out fires would help. Last but not least, the forum suggested that there should be a place for every- thing, and everything should be kept in its place. Next Monday the forum will meet at the home of James Jack- son.
