Question 2: What kind of pre' ject could your forum work en the spring to prevent accidents es improve farm safety? Make a liet of possible accidents which could take place through the use of farm machinery or any other hazards around tune farm, and take all cor- rective measures to eliminate same. such as fire extinguishers on trac- tors ra -tors and around farm buildings; keep tractors out of barns, and have a good supply of water on. hand at all times for fire protea' time • Following discussion, a social hour was spent in progressive euchre. Winners were: ladies. Mra. Stewart Dolmage, Mrs. Wm. Storey, Eileen Dolmage; men, Sam Storey. S. McBrien, Ellwood Clark•. Next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs T. McMil- lan. PARR LINE FORUM The Parr Line Farm Forum wear held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Coleman on Monday even- ing. There were 20 present- Topic for discussion was on "Safety on the Farm." It was believed that the main cause of so many accidents with farm tractors is due to careless- ness on the part of the driver, fair example, turning corners at the high a speed, or applying brakes at too high a speed; also cranking tractor while still in gear. Toa long hours on tractor. causing fa- tigue, is another cause. We think the Department of Highways should prohibit children under If years of age from driving tractors on highways. We also think par' ents should not allow children nu - der 14 mder,14 years to drive a tractor on the farni. Second question: Insist that all fire insurance companies engage an inspector to inspect all wiring is farm buildings. A fire extinguish- er should be kept on hand at alt times. Farm ponds provide an ex- cellent supply of water in case oL fire. Olean up all fire hazards around, the house and barn. We suggest that farmers should pro, cure the various bulletins on farm tractor safety operations and first- aid. - Progressive euchre /allowed. The winners were: ladies, first, 'M'rs.

Topic under discussion was, "Are., School Taxes Fair? How Should) They Be set?" "Do you think that the, property school tax is on a fair basis?" The forum didn't think them fair. The equalization system is unsatisfac- tory in some ways; certain parts b1 the township haven't developed; .some parts have. Five school sec- tions in the township are paying their share; two are not paying and are a burden. School sections should be balanced more evenly. Assessment isn't as high on tows buildings as on farm buildings, therefore equalization on school taxes isn't fair. "Do you think any improvements are needed isa the system of school finance in your Province?" The forum thought there should be im- provements, namely; (1) A Federal educational grant, as a central gov- ernment is in a position to spend the money where it is needed most. Some Provinces could increase their grant, as they are spending more on roads than education. Progressive euchre was enjoyed by all.

The Fireside Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jamieson Monday with 18 .adults! present. Topic under discussion was "Safety on the Farm." The forum agreed tractors were main causes of accidents as there are so many in the country today. Thee have replaced Old Dobbin almost completely. Many of these tree' tor accidents are caused through carelessness - shields not being kept in ,piace, especially over pow- er drive takeoff; driver's fatigue causes accidents; unkempt parte and repairs on tractors; eliminate passengers; Mop motor before ad- justing parts and refueling; a16 drivers should have driver's lic- ense. Each family should look around) their own property to see what ac- cident hazards are present, and a then make repairs where necessary- Also look to your neighbors' farms to see where his water and fire ex- tinguishers are in case of fire. >. eryone should study electrical fe- stallations, as they would know when they needed repairing.
