f-H Better Methods
Benefit the County
Time and motion studies are no
tools of industry alone. In North
Carolina nearly 900 farms have
become proving grounds where
boys and girls enrolled in the 1949
National . 4-H Better Methods
Electric awards program are find
ing easier and better ways of do
ing a job. Everything from un
loading grain to washing dishes is
analyzed to save time and energy.
The family and community alike
benefit from more efficient prac
tices'developed through this ac
tivity.
Guided by club leaders and
county agents, 4-H’ers are “learn
ing by doing” some of the 3.101
ays in which electricity is used
the farm. Doing the familj
wash, roasting a chicken, pumping
water, milking cows, and making
minor electrical repairs are only
a few examples of tasks the ‘teen
agers try to improve. And on
farms where electricity is not
available (about 30 percent) bet
ter methods of doing everyday
chores are worked out and prac
ticed.
Club members keep records of
accomplishments and for the best
in each county the Westinghouse
Educational Foundation presents
a gold-filled medal of honor. The
state winner is given an educa
tional trip to the National 4-II
Club Congress in Chicago, and for
the si'x top-ranking members
the nation, a $300 scholarship is
awarded. To the county in North
arolina reporting the most out
standing 4-H better methods elec
tric program, Westinghouse sends
an appropriately inscribed plaque.
Paul Breedlove, of Nashville,
won the I9'S8 Nash countv and
state awards. There were 50 othc
county medal winners m North
Carolina. Martin countj received
the plaque.
The Coonerative Extension Se*--
vice .supervises the program.
M r. farmer, has the 4-H Club
E
member in your family checked
your farm and home for accident
and Are hazards lately? If not, you
can expect him to do so any day
now. 4-H’ers are making an all-out
attempt to reduce the annual cpst
of accidents affecting farm folks—
Including motor vehicle. Are and
property damage — which totals
more than one billion dollars, or
about $35.00 per person! They are
also trying to cut down the number
of accidental deaths, which kill 51
farm residents in the U. S. every
day in the year. . .
Your 4-H’er doubtless will cau
tion you to drive carefully on high
ways, and use proper signals when
turning or stopping (top right).
More than 7,300 rural people are
killed annually in motor vehicle
accidents. In fact, more fatal auto-
! mobile accidents occur in rural
areas than in any other location.
Falls rank second in farm acci
dent causes. So watch your step
when carrying a clothes basket,
like the girl shown in right photo.
Your 4-H safety worker probably
will suggest you tack down throw
rugs or put them on non-slip mat
ting, and keep stairways unlittered.
Are your lightning rods properly
grounded? The 4-H’ers shown at
top left found the ground wires
broken, and therefore worthless.
Lightning, which is one of the
greatest causes of farm Ares, each
year destroys 20 million dollars
worth of farm property, kills 500
farm residents and injures 1,300
others.
National Farm Safety Week will
be observed July 24-30. Rural boys
and girls taking part in the Na
tional 4-H Farm Safety program
