National Farm Safety Week To Be Held National Farm Safety Week has been proclaimed by President Truman, and will be observed throughout the nation from July 22 to 28. The two-fold aim of the week, inaugurated last year by the Na tional Safety Council as part of the nation-wide accident preven tion campaign, is (1) to educate farm dwellers to act safely 52 weeks of the year, and (2) to teach them to recognize, guard against and eliminate as many hazards as possible. The need for such a week is un derlined by the fact that on the average between 40 to 50 farm dwellers are killed by accidents each day. making an annual death toll of 15,00 to 17.000. In view of the fact that more than 300 organizations and 50.000 individuals in 46 states took part in the observance of the first Na tional Farm Safety Week, it is reasonable to assume that the ac tivities of the week contributed to the reduction in the general acci dent toll in 1944. Thus, wider observance this year is certainly to be recommended. But it should never be forgotten that accident prevention, in the final analysis, is the individual responsibility of each farm resi dent. Engaged in one of the na tion's most important industries, the farmer must be his own safety engineer. Nor will his safety job cease with the signing of the peace- uni versal safety can be achieved only by unremitting effort on the part of farm organizations, manufac turers of farm equipment and farm residents themselves. A day-by-day program for Na tional Farm Safety Week, is an nounced. Each day of the week has been designated for a specific safety activity. Sunday, the first day of the Second National Farm Safety Week, will be observed as church day. On this day, it is hoped that farm families which have experi enced near miraculous escapes from farm accidents in the past, will offer heartfelt thanks, and will resolve to adopt and maintain safe practices in the future. Monday will be observed as home safety day as a means of emphasizing the fact that the farm home is the scene of the greatest number of farm accidents. Na tional Safety Council figures indi cate that nearly 7500 farm home fatalities occur each year. Tuesday, the third day of Na tional Farm Safety Week, will be livestock day. Groups and per sons cooperating in the observance of the week will be asked to em phasize the correct and safe hanaling of livestock in an effort to cut down the great number of farm work accidents that result from incorrect handling of animals of all kinds. W.cnesday will emphasize falls, the chief cause of accidents. Farm safety check-up tours are recom mended as a means of finding and eliminating hazards which cause falls. Good housekeeping, as one way to avoid falls, will be emphas ized. Thursday has been set aside as traffic safety day. On this day cooperating groups will emphasize the importance of preventing high I way accidents which annually kill between 4,000 and 5.000 rural resi dents. Friday has been designated as machinery day in order to stress the great danger from improper operation of farm machines, many of which necessarily have sharp death-dealing knives and blades. Saturday will be observed as farm safety review day ? the last day of National Farm Safety Week. On this day groups throughout the nation will be ex pected to review all phases oi farm safety as a means of insuring accident prevention on the farm 52 weeks a year.
