Safety Program
Is Adopted

Ten practices farmers can adopt
to start a year-round safety pro-
gram are outlined by w E. Stuck
ey, safety specialist with the Agri-
cultural Extension Service, Ohio
State University, and the Indus
trial Commission of Ohio.
Stuckey says the number OF
safe practices that can be adopted
are practically without limit
These ten can mark a starting
point for a definite program. Time
TO start them is during National
Farm Safety Week, July 22-28.
Here is the list suggested by
the National Safety Council:
/. Keep machines in good re-
pair. Keep guards and safety de-
vices in place. Stop machines be-
fore unclogging, oiling or adjust
ing them. Don't wear floppy
clothes around machines.
2. Operate tractors safely. Start
tractors smoothly; turn corners
slowly. Avod ditch banks
soft ground. Always hitch to the
drawbar.
3. Use the right tools for the
job. Make sure your tools are in
good. safe cndition. Keep them
in a safe place.
T. Watch your step to prevent
falls. Keep ladders and steps in
good repair, with no loose rungs
Make sure they are easily ac-
cessible in case of emergency.
5. Speak to animals when ap-
preaching them. Keep them calm
by acting with calm self assur-
ance yourself. Keep bulls in a
safe bull pen.
6. Know and obey all traffic
laws. Follow safe driving prac-
tices. Read and heed all traffic
signs.
Z. Be ''firesighted." Don't smoke
around the barn. Pour gasoline or
kerosene outdoors to prevent t h c

You can then see why I've got

sought SCOTS. Does this Eric

Did she get him into her writ

Scott nodded readily, as if he'd
already submitted the query to
his own thinking. There was a
piece suggesting such a person. A
person of artistic bent, wi t h
whom she felt a sharp, emotional
incompatibility. But not in the vi

These titles: The Oregon Trail,

nostalgically. They were the read

People are SO repulsive to even
the more rugged reptiles that one

No one knows what a snake

And most of what they feel they

For example The average
American believes the Cobra is
probably the deadliest snake in the
world. This is not so. In Brock

are several Cobras but they are
not nearly so dangerous as a
small country cousin of theirs
from India called the Russells Vi

slender and innocent behind h c

Jigger looked apologetic.
The resentment dissolved slow

Jigger returned to his narrative.
With his daughter fled, Matthew
Hunter, the f a h er, circulated
news of her death. carrying the
hoax even to a trumped-up GER
tification of death and cremation.
From I h n on, he undoubtedly
