Hurrying Puts Many
Farmers in Hospital

President Eisenhower has pro-
claimed the week of July 25 to
July 81 as National Farm Safety
Week.
This is an appropriate time for
special observance of farm safety" "
says Guy W. Gienger, University
of Maryland Extension agricultural
engineer who is in charge of Safe
ty Week activities in Maryland.
"A lot of accident happen at this
time of year when farmers are
busy with harvest and have a lot
of work to do in a short time
The engineer says he grew up
on a farm himself and knows how
important it is to make every
minute count" when crops are ripe
and ready for harvest. But there
are thousands of farmers in the
country today" he warns, "who
will testify that it is foolish to ig-
more safety precautions in order
to save minute of time. Instead
of getting the job done quicker,
these farmers went to the hospital
and didn't get the job done at all. ;"
Gienger says he recently had a
visit with a Cecil County farmer
who told typical story of being
in too big a hurry to get the job
done. The farmer was walking
along behond combine in his field
to make sure it was doing a good,
clean job of harvesting. He noticed
that a stream of grain was leak
ing from the combine and called
the operator to halt. He discovered
the leak in an elevator and dis
gustedly poked his finger into the
hole. The auger was still running,
When the farmer had recovered
from the shock of having his finger
cleanly amputated, he looked up at
the side of the combine.
There, in big letters, was sign:
Safety First Stop Machine Be
fore Repairs or Adjustments

sign that that was the right thing

She stopped by a neighbor's who
grew peas by the acre for the pea
cannery and who kept enough for
large quantities of home canning.
The twelve year old boy had
the tedious shelling job and like

invent a pea shelter. Mrs. Goodwin

in show business.
MY first appearance was in
Canada in the church choir with
my sister, who was the leader,
and my sister, who played the
organ. I was about 8 at the
time and was put out of the
choir because the congregation
laughed so hard at the way !

awful about being put out but
rather enjoyed making people
laugh, though I hadn't intended
to. I guess was born to enter
tain people"

Bea explained that a good way
to develop grace is to read aloud
and make gestures of the thing
you are reading about. Then,

gesture naturally"
