HOOPER Down to THE TIMES-AD VO CATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28, 1954 New Courthouse For County Quite Different From Others' How Much? "Holy cow! What a mess.” That was the doctor’s thought when he looked at the patient with the mangled leg. It was just a pulp from the hip down. How did it happen, Nobody ex­ actly knows. He was found in a semi-conscious condition . by a passer-by. The tractor was still running at full throttle, the (un­ shielded) power take-off spun merrily on. They had to use a torch to cut him out of the nose of the corn picker. Hospital Report: Patient suf­ fering from deep shock — le.g amputated at knee. Condition — fair.

Secondly — mud, mud, mud, and more mud! What a combination. How easy it will be to place yourself in position to have a serious accident as we described above. One misstep, one slip in the mud, just one second of carelessness can perhaps at the worst — cost your life. This first step towards safety is: Don’t become overtired!

But if you’re smart you will knock off, if you have no re­ lief operator. Be safety conscious about your clothing too. Don’t buy a gauntlet glove — they catch. Buy only blouse style smocks and keep it buttoned up. Dress warmly. Corn­ picking can be .a cold job. A numbed body’s reflexes a.re slow­ er. That hesitation can he fatal. Down at the Cash Crop Day the contestants in the Corn Pick­ ing Contest received points for safety. That is only right. Safety practices in the operation of all machinery has top priority. You only have two hands, two legs, two eyes, and one life! Let’s not make headlines in the obituary column this season. Let’s be careful. What price a hand — a leg — your life? DID YOU KNOW? If you don’t stick your neck out, how can you ever expect to get above the crowd? THIS WEEK — Storm Windows Indian Summer? Spare Bulbs?
