Delaware to coincide with the OBJ
servance of National Farm Safety
Week proclaimed by Dwight d.
Eisenhower, President of the Uni

The Delaware Safety Council and
the University of Delaware Agri-
culture Extension Service are
again sponsoring Farm Safety Week
in cooperation with farm organiza-
tiOns, farm press and radio, and
many other groups interested in
agriculture. The concerted action
of all of these groups during the
past number of years has done
much to effect a substantial reduc-
tion in farm injuries. There are
still far too many accidents, how

theme from the 10th observance be-
cause of it's success in encouraging
farm residents to practice safety
in the home, at work, in traffic and
elsewhere to a greater degree than
any other theme.

Federal ReserUe Bank of PHILADELPHIA
GiUes "A Mid-YeGr Report From
NelO-CGr Dealers

On balance, the midyear report
from the new-car dealers in this
area is not an optimistic one, ac-
cording to the July Business Re
view" of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Philadelphia. Spring sales we're
not high enough to signal a turn
ing point, and profit margins re-
main too thin; yet improvement in
the inventory situation is encourag-
ing.
Over the first half Of this year.
the Bank says, dealers have had
three principal problems: Cd slow
er sales, 90 reduced profits; and
(S) burdensome Inventories. AS
dealers turn into the latter half
of the year the box score on these
problems is "one down and two to
60"
The zone down" refers to inven-
tories. Only four of the So new-car
merchants interviewed said that in
Ventories were now a problem. I'm

the campaign to free as many
homes as possible from the trage-
dies and losses caused by needless
accidents"
Observance of Farm Safety
Week serves to emphasize that
farm people still suffer a high pro-
portion of unnecessary losses from
fires and accidents. Safety is an in-
dividual responsibility. Each of us
must make a contribution to reduce
tion of FIRE and accident hazards
in order to make America Farms
safer, more efficient and happier
places to live.
Farm Commandments for Living

1. Keep machines in good repair
2. Operate tractors safely.
3. Know and obey all traffic laws.
4. Be fire-sighted
5. Speak to animals when ap-
preaching them.
8. Be a good hOusekeeper.
