An additional 1,200,000 farm resi- dents suffered injuries. Farming has the third highest death rate among the major Industries in the nation, surpass- ed only by the mining and other extractive and construction in- dustries, according to the edi- torial. Motor vehicle accidents among farm residents accounted for 6,900 deaths and 21'0,000 in- juries, home accidents for 3,600 deaths and 540,000 injuries, oc- cupational accidents for 3,800 deaths and 32,000 injuries, and public non -motor -vehicle acci- dents such as streetcar or side- walk mishaps for 1,300 deaths and 150,000 injuries k N: "Increasing use of machinery on farms may be a causative fac- tor in the high death rate," the editorial stated. "There were abou,t 700 fatal and about 25,000 nen-fatal accidents involving farm wheel tractors in 1952, Fifty-five per cent of these deaths resulted from overturned tractors and 16 per cent as a result of falling from the vehicle. In eight per cent of such deaths, the victim "was run over by the tractor, and In five per cent he was crushed Dress Rehearsal - Resembling a fugitive from a horror movie, this masked man in the bulky, padded suit is actually a mem- ber of an Italian mountain - climbing team preparing to climb the rugged K-2 mountain peak of the Himalayas. The 15 - man team is currently under- going rigid training at Plateau Rosa, Italy, for its risky try this summer. between the tractor and another Object. Three per cent of the tractor deaths resulted from en- tanglement, and 13 per cent from Other and unspecified causes. a ,i e "Farming is one of the few oc- cupations in which children are permitted to be close to Operat- ing machinery, It is no wonder then, that one-third of the 306 fatal tractor accidents reported by Wisconsin and Ohio over a period of several years involved persons under 20 years of age. One case in ten involved a child under five years of age, Deaths among the very young often re- sulted from falls that occurred while the children were riding on tractors. 4 G e: "One-third of the tractor Satan - ties in Minnesota and Iowa dur- ing 1949-51 occurred in highway accidents. Considering the small proportion of time that tractors ..are on the highways, the accident rate during this use is probably much higher than the rate during use on the farm, 4, 4: M "On the basis of corn harvest accidents in Iowa during 1952, It has been estimated that doctor and hospital costs per accident average $160, while the time lost tiveraged 30 days." Farmers must be as accident conscious as their city friends, the .editorial stressed, Since careless- ness is responsible for most farm accidents, farmers must realize that caution is synonymous with common sense, n a a Rural physicians should paint Out safety facts and fallacies to farmers, as such advice is just as much preventive medicine as a vaccination against small -pox or the purification of drinking water, the editorial stated, add- ing: "Most physicians are close to their patients and take a person- al interest in their welfare. This relationship is seen more pro- nounced in the rural areas, where the physician and the farm resi- dent usually share more titan a patient -physician affinity. ere - fore, the rural physician is in an ideal position to proffer advice that may prevent farm accidents, Uulust Sentence Tur: ed Man Her/ it There has just come to light a strange sequel to a road accid- ent outside the city of Paris eight years ago. Jean Soulier, roadmender, was engaged in his job of breaking stones by the side of the road when he was run aver by a fast- moving car and died on the way to hospital. Peasants saw the accident and testified that the car had been driven at great speed by a man who did not even slow up or look back after the accident oc- curred. No trace of the car or its driver could be found. About a month later the lab- ourer's widow received a sum of money by registered post, and further amounts came at regular intervals. She suspected that the money was from the man who had caused the death of her hus- band, and she reported the matter to the police. The police found the scndee to be a wealthy Parisian merchant.

But then the police discovered that the man had in fact been seen driving along the particular stretch of road about the time the accident occurred. The mer- chant admitted this, but said he could bring a witness to prove that Ile was not the driver of the car involved. The witness was said to be a wool agent on his way to Eng- land on business, but inquiries proved that he had died just be - fere he was about to return to France. But the police arrested the mere chant, and in spite of his fervid protestations o1 innocence, he was sentenced to two years' im- prisonment, for manslaughter. When he was released at the encs of this period he sold his house and his business and bought himself a cottage in a lonely vil- lage miles from Paris. He called the cottage "House Without Pity." He never opened his door to any- one, kept a dog as his only friend and surrounded his house with barbed wire. Ile lived .like this for five years. Now he has been found dead in his hermit's cottage. Almost co- incident with the death of the embittered merchant, an engin- eer's mate lay crying in a Paris hospital. Just before he passed away he asked to see a priest, to whom he confessed that it was he who years before had knoelcecl down and killed the road mender on the Calais road. lie had been driving a stolen car, River That Ploughs Through The Sea Geologists have estimated that the Amazon river of South Am- erica has been running in its pre- sent state for at least one million years. In the volume of water it dos. • gorges it is in a class by itself. One-fifth of all the world's run- ning fresh water is carried by the Amazon! So immense is the volume of water pouring from the river, that ships approaching the east Mast of South America can de- tect an easterly current 200 miles out in the ocean, Right out: of sight of land they sail through what is practically :frown water, In ce rteie Areals 180 miles from land this water can be used for drinking purposes. Near the township of Manaus, a thousand miles up the Amaz- on, the river has a yearly rise between the dry season and the rainy season of sixty feet. At its peak the river increases hundreds of miles in width at several points, -flooding thousands of square miles of forest. There are some eleven hundred known tributaries of the Amaz- on. Seven of them are over a thou- sand miles long, and one, the Ma- deira, is nearly three thousand miles from source to mouth. Yet the main stream often receives the waters of these subject rivers without showing any appreciable increase in either width or cur- rent. It was given its name by Fran- cisco d'Orellena, a Spanish war- rior explorer who, in 1540, sailed along its lower reaches. The Indians told hire of a tribe of female warriors, and he claim- ed to have encountered them, Hence the name "Amazon," given in ancient times to women war- riors. .... .._ Most Slot -At Man.

But these little books are packed with all sorts of vjtal information and facts. In flowers there is word about heights, color, season of blooming, whether the plants are hardy or tender, or require special light or soil. With veg- etables one is given the number of days from seeding to maturity, type, hardiness, spacing and so on. This is essential information in planning and planting, With such knowledge one can arrange flowers so that the smaller plants will be in .front and odors will not clash and so one can get a succession of blood') from early summer on. This infurmatiou is needed too, with the vegetables, so that one can select the varieties that are particularly suited to whatever soil and location is available, so that one can get the utmost out of a small plot, and above all a continuous supply of garden fresh vegetables right at the kitchen door. Informal is Best The best garden layout, es- pecially for non-professionals, is the informal one. This does not mean that shrubs, flowers, trees and always are put in helter skel- ter. Far from it. Some of the finest and most costly gardens in all Canada are decidedly in the informal category but into thein gooes the most precise and long tern planning. The famous Butchart Gardens of British Co- lumbia are of the informal type and much of the beautiful grounds around the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, as well as about the Federal Parliament Buildings and the famous drive- ways of Ottawa. One doesn't see long straight rows of flowers or square flower beds there. Most of the planting Is done in clumps, with sweeping but irregularly shaped lawns as a foreground to massed beds of flowers and groups of shrubbery, And there is a deliberate "open- ing up" effect. You can't see everything from any central p o i n t. Shrubbery, trees and other natural screening is brought forward here and there so that -each turn in the path or each rounded corner of lawn reveals another view. Even in the smallest garden it is usually possible to get this same result even if we only bring a few larger shrubs or flowers forward a bit to screen part of the back, and invite visitors to explore farther. But not for Vegetables All that has been said about in. formality in the flower garden should be forgotten when it comes to vegetables. Here string - straight rows are essential, not only for neatness, but -for getting capacity and for easing cultiva- tion. Usually on the seed packet are precise directions regarding width of rows and spacing. With small things like carrots, beets and lettuce, if necessary, one can have as little as six inches be- tween rows, though at least twice that makes things easier. Beans and peas will require a foot to 18 inches. Potatoes and corn need still more. For economy and interest, trailing or tall things like cuntunbers or tomatoes can be grown around the edges of the 'vegetable plot, and also certain flowers for bouquets like sweet peas and gladiolus.
