standing feature of this training
in the National 4-H Farm and
Home Safety program is to check
and remove from farms and
homes any conditions likely to
cause fire, accidents or injuries.
These 4-H surveys are acclaimed
a valuable contribution to the
1 nation-wide campaign to reduce
the annual toll of 15,000 farm
people dying and 1,300,000 being
injured as a result of rural ac
cidents each year.
Here is a report, made by a 4-H
girl on behalf of her local club,
after making a safety survey of
every home in the community:
“In all homes having stairways
that we visited, the stairs were
full of toys, jars, tools and other
articles,” she stated. "In many
homes people used kerosene to
build fires. They also had oily
cloths and papers stored clow to
the stove and flue. Matches and

"On several farms visited,
boards with rusty nails pointing
upward were much in evidence. In (
our local schoolhouse, the ceiling

If it fell it would cause severe in- *

we called a community meeting. .
Attention was called to the haz
ards we had found. Immediately
following the meeting everyone
present began work necessary to
make our community a safe one. 1
