Form Leader Gives
Reduce Accident Advice

Use your head before you use
your hands. Don't take chances to
save a few seconds.
These are the best safety rules
in using farm machinery, j. H. OPP
penheim, president of the Farm
Equipment Institute, declared in
endorsing National Farm Safety
Week. July 1881. Without head
work, he said, the best mechanical
safety devices cannot be completely
effective.
M. Cppenheim points out that
like their city neighbors, more farm
people are injured within the home
than anywhere else. And although
some 1890 farm workers were kill
ed and 100000 injured during 1947,
this represented 200 fewer work
deaths and 10000 fewer injuries
than the year before.
''The rules of safety are familiar
to most Users of mechanical equip
ment," Mr.. Oppenheim says, but
this knowledge always can be de-
feated by carelessness.
