' National Farm Safety, Week
Was observed last week. We
should all look upon farm safe
ty as a year-around, twenty
four-hour job. The theme for
-L961 is “Safety Is A Family Af
ttir.-’.
There are many phases in
fapm safety, such as fire, elec
tricity, falls, tractors and home,
letc. This year’s emphasis is on
(Rural Highway safety and safe
ty with Farm Machinery. Fami
lies are encouraged to continue
jefforts in all phases of farm
Safety.
| Safe Drivers. (The informa
tion below was prepared by the
National Safety Council).
Safa Drivers
Every family and community
wants safe drivers only. Safe
•drivers have dependent safety
attitudes, knowledge, skill, along
With physical ability to see
clearly and control their motor
vehicles capably.
. Safe drivers are safe only in
safe motor vehicles with wind
shield wipers, steering gear, ex
■haust, brakes, wheels, tires,
lights, mirrors and signals reg-
Hilarly inspected and dependably
maintained.
Safe drivers are alert, cour
teous, and sober, continually ob
•serving safe driving practices
dnd traffic regulations. Safe
driving improves with experi
encet -and self-control suited to
the traffic, the time of day or
night, the weather, visibility, the
road, and the vehicle.
Safe drivers avoid acts of
(omission as well as commis
isions, and make safe allowance
for the failure of other drivers
■or pedestrians. This is called
defensive driving and is the
mark of all safe drivers. Safe
ty is NO accident,
j Keys To Defensive Driving
j Obey All Traffic Regulations.
(Only the immature and incom
petent think they can safely ig
nore speed limits, “no passing”
pfules, stop signs, and other traf
fic measures.
K Be Alert At All Times. Dan
gerous situations develop fast.
Be doubly watchful after dark.
Remember to glance at the rear
yiew mirror frequently.
| Allow A Margin Os Safety,
fjlood drivers never assume that
Other drivers or pedestrians will
4° the right thing—and they |
don’t insist on their right-of-way
Ut all costs. Follow the car
dhead at a safe distance. This
|| obviously a matter of judg
ment, but there is a good rule
of thumb to use as a guide. Al
lyw at least one car length for.
tjvary 10 miles per hour of speed
r-that is, at least three car
Jengths at 30 miles an hour,
jpur at 40, and so on.
Make Your Intentions Clear.
Before stopping, turning, chang
ing lanes, or other maneuvers
•that may affect nearby traffic,
give proper signals and make
•tire the way is clear.
E’ ’ In On* Lane As Much As
la. Don’t weave or hog
>ad. Cross centerline only
when passing or turning left.
|{ Prepare For Turns And Slops.
Get into the proper lane well
t advance and signal.
Keep An Eye On Parked Can.
Watch for signs indicating that
$ vehicle may be about to pull
alt from the curb.
?; Pace Yourself By The Traffic
Around You. Don’t race. Don’t
lag. Don’t ride the bumper of
the vehicle ahead.
1 Don’t Back Into Trouble. When
; «ou back up, make certain the
ray is clear.
Raducs Your Speed At Night.

jrour passing beam,, even if the
Other'’fellow doesn’t. Keep your

Rhome of Fayetteville were

ternoon, July 23, at 3 o’clock.
The ceremony was performed by
Elder Smitih at Smith’s Temple.
The couple had as their attend
ants Miss Ann Frinks of Eden
ton and Lee Davis of Fayette
ville.
Hose your temper at other driv
ers or drive recklessly to “let
off steam”.
Always Be Courteous On The
Road. The Golden Rule is the
most important adjunct to the
official traffic rules.
Tractor In Traffic
About 1,000 persons are kill
ed each year in farm tractor ac
cidents. One-third of these oc
cur on the public roads. Upsets
and collisions lead the list.
Non-fatal accidents involving
tractors are estimated at 45,000
a year. Daring or sporting lib
erties should never be taken
with tractors in the field, on
the farm, or orv -the .highway..
Tractor Drivers In Traffic
Good planning can avoid much
unnecessary movement of farm
equipment on heavily traveled
roads.
Keep the tractor under con
trol. Slow down for turns.
Leave the tractor in gear on
down-grades.
Only experienced operators,
possessing mature judgment
should be given the responsibili
ty of handling farm machinery
on public roads.
Permit no extra riders on the
tractor. In a 5-year study 28
fatalities (17 per cent of the to
tal) occurred to children under
10 years of age. More seriously,
18 of the deaths occurred among
children 4 years of age or un
der!
Well-located entrances to fields
and farmyards allow good visi
bility for operators of farm ma
chinery and motor vehicles.
Courtesy makes friends and
prevents accidents. Pulling off
the pavement to let faster traffic
pass takes only minutes—and
may save lives.
Red flags by day, approved
lighting by night, call the at
tention of the motorist to the
dangers of slow-moving ma
chinery.
