week stirred the Post members
action in demands for prose
cution of the accused to the
limit of the law.
Pitre was shot mistakingly
because of his supposed resem-
blance to the description of a
purse snatcher. The accused
person admitting shooting Petri
but said he thought he was the

Observance of Farm Safety
Rules Viii Bring About
Reduction in Accidents
WORK AND LIVE SAFELY

Greater awareness and observ-
ance of farm safety rules to bring
about a reduction of the accident
toll among farm people are urged
by President Truman in proclaim
ing the seventh observance of Ma
tional Farm Safety Week, July g.
29, 1850.
The Presidents proclamation
said, in part: Experience has DEM
onstrated the value of a concen-
trated effort to stress the import
ance of learning and conscientious
ly observing farm safety rules.
therefore earnestly request all or
ganizations and individuals inter-
ested in farm life and the welfare
of farm people to join in a con-
tinuing campaign to encourage the
study and observance of farm SAFE
ty rules during the designated
week and throughout the year"
Ned H. Dearborn, president OF
the National Safety Council, in
discussing plans for National Farm
Safety Week, pointed out that
farm safety is everybody's job

crosswise over the line with top
and bottom hens even. Ease gent
ly into shape over the line, straigh-
tening edges. Wet blankets are
heavy; it pays to have someone
help you hang them on the line.
Do not use clothes pins. When
blanket is about half dry, squeeze
out water collected in the hens
or bindings, shake gently, and turn
the blanket on the line handling
lengthwise instead of crosswise.
This helps to prevent sagging and
makes for more even drying. A
blanket will dry more quickly if
hung over 2 parallel clotheslines,
2 or 8 feet apart.
When blanket is dry, shake well
and brush to fluff up the nap. Use
soft bristled brush. Brush length
wise and always in the same direc-
ton. Press the binding with a
warm iron, using a press cloth. Do
not iron the blanket.
