Tractor Safety
To Be Shown AT
Plain City Fair

Tragic Ted will "die" in trac-
tor-tipping demonstration August
/, Thursday, 3 pm, at the Plain
City Fair Grounds. He's the straw
stuffed dummy who rides the
demonstration tractor when it
moves into death traps and upsets.
He's the nervous sort, a scatter
brain who does everything wrong.
He loses his head easily. When he
gets too close to an unshielded pow
er take-off shaft, he just throws up
his arms and goes all to pieces.
Ted'S tragedy-of-errors routine
is designed to show how NOT to
drive farm tractor, explains John
E. Moore, county agricultural ag-
ent, who points out that last year
So persons in Ohio were killed and
hundreds of others crippled be-
cause of tractor misuse.
The demonstration tractor is
equipped with a protective frame,
remote controls and other safety
features to shield it from damage.
The actual operator stands on the
ground and maneuvers it by means
of lines attached to the controls.
Mercury switches stop the engine
when the tractor overturns.
Those attending the demostra-
ton will see the tractor flip over
backwards when a heavy load is
hitched to its. axle instead of its
properly adjusted drawbar. They
will see the machine roll over side
ways when a 6-inch block is
thrown under the inside rear
wheel with the tractor travelling 6
miles an h our in a forty-foot cir
Gle They will watch the demon
strators put out gasoline fire,
show what constitutes proper trac-
tor lighting and how to use red
flags when travelling on the high
way. The visitors also will see a
tractor tragedy cemetery" with
signs the shape of tombstones pre-
senting vital statistics on tractor
casualties in Ohio.
Local sponsoring group is the
Plain City Fair Board, who has
arranged for the demonstration to
help promote a statewide cam
paign to reduce accidents caused
by misuse of the farm tractor. The
program on the state level is spon-
sored by the Ohio Agricultural
Extension Service as public SER
vice feature in cooperation with
the Standard Oil Company, the

The safety division believes that
the program will be effective in
averting accidents which may pos
sibly involve highway department
equipment as well as being of help
to the employees when operating
their own vehicles. State Highway
Department officials are of the
opinion that if private industries
and businesses would adopt sim

done to decrease the number of

Disabled Folk Should
Check S. S. Benefits
Continued from first pagel

reason of disability, this simply
means that the time after you be-
come disabled will not be counted
when your earnings are averaged
to determine the amount of your
payments. Your rate will be figured
as though you had reached retire
ment age as of the date you were
disabled. So the freeze" can make
many dollars difference in the
amount of your payments. Since
the disability period is also left
out in figuring the amount of time
that you need to be able to qualify,
it can also mean the difference be-
tween your qualifying for benefits
and not qualifying.
To become eligible to have your
record frozen, you must meet the
following conditions:
1. You must be disabled to the
extent that you cannot do any sub
stantially gainful work The disa-
bility must have existed for at
least months, and must be Of
such a nature that it is likely to
continue lndennlLely.
2. You must have been in work
by social security for out of the
10 years before you became dis
abled, and for 115 years out of the
3 years just before you became dis
abled.
3. You must file an application
and secure medical proof of your
disability.
If you were disabled more Ghan
a year ago it is important that you
file your application before June
80, 1857 After that date your rec
ord can be frozen for no more than
a year before the date the applica-
tion is filed. Thus, if the disability
has existed for 2 years or more,
the 11a years of social security
credits out of the years before
the onset of the disability could
not be met.

appointments, confirming them,
and watching Judge Terry sworn
in.
1t was shortly after $3.50 p. m.
when Edward Ewell, Governor
BOggs' administrative assistant,
entered the Senate chamber to de-
liver an envelope containing the
nominations Of Judge Terry and
Judge Christie to Mr.. BucksOn, the
Senate's presiding officer.
Mr. Buckson Immediately turned
the envelope over to Senator Lem
uel H. Hickman (D-Frankford), !,
chairman of the Executive Com
mittee. On Senator Hickman's mo-
tiOn the Senate resolved itself into
executive session and closed the
public out of it's deliberations.
The nomination of Judge Storey
was withheld at this point because
no vacancy existed in Kent County
until Judge Terry's resignation
was submitted.
The Senate's deliberations took
slightly more than Is minutes, and
Senators ElwOod F. Nelson, Jr.
(R-ClaymOnO and John E. Reilly
wilmington were dispatched
to inform Governor Boggs that the
two appointments had been con-
firmed
The Senate then resumed public
session, and Senator Nelson in
formed the chair that Governor
BOggs had notified Judge Terry of
his confirmation land the judge
told him he was in the act of
writing out his resignation" as
resident judge.
With that information, the Senate
accepted the appointment of Judge
Storey, resumed executive session,
and emerged minutes later with
the third confirmation. Then the
lawmakers convened again with
open doors and waited for the ar

Wolcott.
Shortly before 4:3O, Governor

escorted into the chamber. Cover

Justice WOlcOtt administered the
oath to Judge Terry at the head of
jurists joined the others on the
rOstrum.
Introduced by Mr.. BucksOn, JUS
tice WOlcott told the crowd of so
or more members and guests who
witnessed the ceremony that "a
vacancy of some duration (on the
Superior Court bench) has result
ed in some piling up of litigation
to the detriment of litigants."
He pointed out that Judge Terry
is the most experienced member of
the court in length of service, add
ing that he knows of no other
single factor that should be given
more consideration in the selection
of a president Judge.
Governor Boggs spoke a word of
appreciation to members of the
Senate for the opportunity to
participate with you in fulfilling
what is surely one of our greatest
obligations.
He said be was proud that he
