There are many possible hazards in the daily op eration of a farm? chances for accident and injury: trampling or coring by livestock) cutting from any of the many sharp-edged tools of the farm, including power-driven tools | drowning in lake, pool, irrigation ditch) shock or burns from electric appliances or equipment) tractor accidents, and many others. But these hazards need not lead to accident or injury, and in almost all cases, will not, so long as nor mal rules of safety are used. Accidents, injuries, deaths on the farm are almost invariably due to care lessness on the part of the worker, to the failure to take some simple precaution. The man who knows the safe way to perform any task, who uses care and thought in his work, who keeps his tools and electric eqirfpment safe by keeping it in good repair, will lose There is a close relation between the amount of work you do and the amount of profit your farm will show. For you, lost time from your work is lost money. It pays to be safe. And remember that while farm safety is promoted only once a year, it has to be practiced every day.

The proclama tion by the President of the United States setting aside the week of July 25 as Farm Safety Week has particular interest for North Car olinians where more than 600 per sons are killed each year in home and farm accident*, it was pointed out here today by v safety spokes man of the , North Carolina State Board of Health. Dr. Charles M Cameron Jr., chief of the health department's Accident Prevention Section, in annojncing the special Farm Safe ty Week, called attention to farm machinery and equipment, fire, live stock, pesticides and other chemicals as accident hazards found on most ol the state's farms. "The Insect and Rodent Control Section of the State Board of Health has recently completed a survey of eye . injuries due to the careless or improper use of pesti cides," Dr. Cameron said. "Due to the widespread use of these chem icals it is necessary to point out that many of them are safe only if the directions on the lable are followed exactly." In gathering information as to eye injuries from pesticides, the Board of Health investigators in terviewed six eye specialists in eastern North Carolina who con tributed data indicating that sever al hundred persons each year re ceive treatment for eye conditions resulting from pesticides entering the eye. Dr. Cameron emphasized the excellent work done by North Car olina State College, the Agricul ture Extension Service, the De partment of Agriculture, and the various chemical companies in stressing the importance of observ ing safe guards when using chem icals on farm and in the home garden. "Let me stress that these use ful chemicals have played an im portant role in advancing agricul ture in North Carolina," Dr. Cam eron concluded, "but all farmers and gardeners must read and heed the precautions on the label if many serious injuries are to be avoided."

Nine years after the war, sudden death still lurks in West Germany in the form of hidden land mines, forgot ten ammunition dumps, dud bombs and other high explosives left on the battlefields of world war II. Almost 1,000 persons have been killed or severely hurt throughout Western Germany since the end of the war German officials esti mate. ( In the biggest West German state, North Rhine - Westphalia, the district government of Duea seldorf alone has lost 30 men of its 80-man mine clearing squad since 1947. Nine were killed and 21 crippled for life. Many of the explosions occurred while the mines or bombs were be ing defused and taken apart. To lessen the danger of unexpect ed explosions while the bombs are beihg dismantled, technicians of the Duesseldorf district government have constructed a robot turning lathe which automatically takes shells, mines and bombs apart. The lathe is controlled by a technici-' cian who sits in a concrete bunk er about 100 yards from the robot lathe. A stream of water cools the bombs while they are cut to make explosions through heat impos sible. An automatic steel saw cuts open the mantle of the shell which is then taken to a steel press and ripped apart. The press is likewise automati cally controlled. From there the bombs are taken to the burning ground where the powder Is burn ed out of them. During the last 12 months, da molition squads have collected from the Duesseldorf district more than 1,000 bombs, 44,500 artillery shells, 1,000 bazookas, 200 land mines of all kinds, nine tons of small arms ammunition, 1,300 hand-grenades and 4,000 ignition bombs. 1 It will be another five years, German officials estimate, before all of West Germany is cleared from mines, bombs and shells.

The National Safety Council and the' United States Department of Agri culture, with the cooperation of other organization* interested in promoting safety among farm peo ple, sponsor this program. The National Safety Council conceived the idea of National Farm Safety Week to emphasize the importance of safety conscious ness among farmers and their families. ? The annual observance of National Farm Safety Week began in 1944 with an official proclama tion by the President of the Uni ted States. This is the 11th con-; secutive year that the last full , week of July has been so desig nated. Do you know that the number of fatal accidents to farm worker is greater than in any other occupa- 1 tion in the United States? Serious injuries are nearly 85 times as many as the fatalities. Available information indicates that 700 of the fatal farm accidents involved wheel tractors. One-third of the fatal tractor accidents re- ' ported involved persons under 20 year of age. One case in 10 was a child under 5 years. Work around the barns can be as hazardous as work in the fields, safety experts report. Remove hazards and avoid risks to reduce accidents in farmwork, they advise A good slogan to follow is: "Farm to live and live to farm."
