Accident on
Farm Might
Start Early
Does a farm accident begin at
breakfast?
“It can,” said Maynard Coe, the
National Safety Council’s director
of farm safety, “if there’s lack of
harmony at the breakfast table.
“The attitude the farmer has
when he goes out to run a lot of
complicated machinery,” said Coe,
“is extremely important. If his wife
or children upset him at breakfast,
he’s much more likely to have an
accident than if he leaves the table
in a good frame of mind.
“It's just a theory,” he said, “but
We think how a farmer feels at
breakfast has a lot to do with how
safe he stays throughout the day.”
Coe’s observations came on the
eve of annual National Farm Safe
ty Week, which the National Safe
ty Council will co-sponsor July 24-
30 with the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
It’s not only a nagging wife at
the breakfast table that can drive
a man to an accident, Coe—a mar
ried man—hesitated to point out.
“Burnt toast, bad weather or a
sleepless night can have the same
disastrous effect,” he said. “Any
thing. that causes a farmer to con
centrate less on the work at hand
is to be avoided, if at all possible.”
