Eisenhower Joins
Annual Promotion
OF Farm Safety
Safety makes sense" /"

Safety makes sense"
This will be the theme of the
10Th annual National Farm Safe
ty Week to be observed July l9-
rs.
The special week, proclaimed
by President Eisenhower, is
sponsored jointly by the Nation
al Safety Council and the u. S.
Department of Agriculture.
The purpose of the observ-
ance, says the Council, is to pro-
mote safety and accident pre-
vention on American farms-in
the field, in the home, and on
the highway.
Leading farm organizations
are endorsing the seven-day
safety campaign.
Each year more than 10000
farm residents are killed in ac-
cidents and another million are
injured. There are more acci-
dental deaths in farming than in
any other major American in
dustry.
The National Safety Council
said it is urging everyone with
an interest in the welfare of
farm residents to participate in
this years National Farm Safe
ty Week.
Safety is something you
can't think about just one week
out of the year." the Council
said. "But if everyone concen-
trates on it during Farm Safety
Week-and then practices safe
ty the year round, there's bound
to be a drop in accidents" it
added.

He also pointed out that sew

found guilty of violating the
Sherman Antitrust Act because
of a "broad-based conspiracy to

Intensive training together.
Each dog would have only one
master. If the officer left, the
dog would have to repeat much
of the training with a rev
master.
First in Area
Chief Halves thinks main
tenance of the dogs would be
inexpensive and he said the
City Manager Edward @. Heat
wole has reacted favrably to
the possibility of their use.
I'VE hope our current con-
sideration will bring some tan
gible results within the next
couple of months" the chief
said.
Should Alexandria establish
a canine corps, it would become
the first municipality in the
area to admit dogs to its police
force.
The Army and Marine Corps
successfully used them during
World War II and they now
are being employed by the
Strategic Air Command and
West German patrols in Berlin.
However. Capt. Everly points
out significant difference be-
tween employment of dogs by
the military and police.
Military dogs sometimes are
taught to kill, but those work.
ing with police are trained to
disarm or subdue.
In addition, Capt. Everly
notes, police dogs must have a
sense of public relations.
I'm working with the public,
we must have extremely we'll
behaved dogs" he says. They
can't bite just anybody"
