BilI'WiIso The importance of proper care in ;4riving farm yelhicles on .public roadways was stressed Friday night when the . Huron County Farm Safety Association held a meeting, banquet and dance at The White Carnation at Holmesville, Guest speaker following the dinner was Corp. R.W. Wilson, Community Services Officer for the Ontario Provincial Police in Huron County. Corp. Wilson conducted a quiz of 29 questions based on regulation ` covering farm vehicles as contained in the Highway Traffic, Act, He stressed that the laws apply to all public roads, not just provincial highways. Among the topics he discussed in a free -wheeling conversation with members of the audience was the problem of farm vehicles which are too wide for legal travel on the road. He said he 'sympathized with the problems of farmers and that action should be taken at the manufacturing level to make equipmentwhich meets legal limits, but it is the job of the police to enforce the law, not try to change it, he said. He pointed out that the legal width limit of 102 inches -is often exceeded even' by' tractors with dual wheys, let alone huge cultivators and corn planters which can be 18 feet wide or more. The legal lengthof vehicles, he said, is 65 feet and that can be made up of any number of vehicles such as farm wagons. The wagons must, however, have a chain guard or similar separate means of attachment in case the main attachment breaks. Loads over 20 feet long must also have the proper lights or reflectors mounted on the sides of the load, Corp. Wilson also pointed out the requirements for, proper' placing of slow moving vehicle signs on farm vehicles as being in the centre of the mass, base down. After the lengthy presen- tation which was kept lively with examples of Corp.• Wilson's humor, banquet convener Don Young of Auburn impressed upon the audience the purpose of the organization to try to improve safety on the farm. He said the Employees Health and Safety /Pict gives the provincial government at.ithority to get tough on farmers in regards to safe working conditions. It is hatter for farmers to clean up their own act, he said, than to have the government impose restrictions. He spoke of such things as roll-over protections for farm tractors to be used with seat belts. Corp. Wilson in- terjected to say this sounded like a good idea since the local O.P,P, detachment deal with four of five roll-overs a year and they can he deadly, New FM station Stereo 102. the FM channel of CKNX Wingham, officially began broadcasting 'Sunday morning at 8 a,m.
