Farm accidents are costly. In
some counties accidents to farm
people cost the farmers approx
mately $4,000 last year. That's a
lot of money to throw away. This
would buy a good size farm and
all the equipment necessary to
operate that farm. Some accidents
have cost Individual farmers hun
dredS of dollars. Yes, and hours of

Der is, I'VE should, we can, we

Anti-Red Stand

New York (LPA) A roaring,
whopping majority of the delegates
to the seventh biennial convention
of the Natl Maritime Union at st.
Nicholas Arena adopted a resolu-
tion stating the unions faith in the
United States and affirming that
the members would defend the US
against any enemy including the
Soviet Union"
The vote was 4S9 to Sc, with 81
abstaining. The results indicated
that union president Joseph Cur
ran had completely overriden. at
tempts by Communist elements
and other anti-Courranites to seize
control of the convention.
The Curran supporters were
ready to push for an amendment
to the union constitution barring
membership to Communists and
Nazis. The amendment would re-
quire two-thirds majority to pass.
Anti-Curran forces, including
Communists and Communist SYM
pathizers allied with a non-Com-
munist anti Curran bloc, defeated
the administration on two motions
