C. with Mrs. Charlie Williams and Mrs. Kay Johnson at 1:30 p. m. This Week With Macon County Agents By Mrs. Florence S. ShrrrilJ (Home Agent) President Eisenhower has pro claimed July 19-25 as National Farm Safety Week This is the tenth year in which National Farm Safety Week has been sponsored by the National Safety Council and the Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the farm safety activities of states and counties, the farm organiza tions. farm press and radio, and many other groups interested in agriculture. In 1&51. the iast year for which estimates are available. 14.500 farm people lost their lives as a result of accidents This number, large as it is represents a reduction cf one- , fifth from the estimated an nual rate in 194!. The reduc- ) tion in the rate of fata! acci- j dents to farm people is in great | measure due to the efforts of organizations throughout the country which have helped to create safety consciousness among farm people. The nation has made real progress in farm safety in the 10 years since National Farm Safety Week was instituted. Experience has shown time and time again that when people give continuing attention to the task of eliminating or min imizing hazards, the accident rate falls. Do you know that of the fatal accidents that happened to farm folks in 1951 almost as many occurred in and around the house as in the doing of farm work? Do you know that almost half the accidental in juries happened in and around the house? Do you know that falls rank first, fire injuries second, as causes of fatal home accidents Do you know that falls are the principal cause of death from home accidents ' among folks over 45: burns rank first among those from 1 to 44 years of age. To reduce the suffering, loss i of life, and loss of productive capacity earned by (arm home accidents: Use safety pad or backing (or rugs to keep them from slip ping. Keep floors clear of objects that could trip anyone. Repair broken steps, porch floors. Provide a light switch or flashlight within reach of every bed. Provide lighting for all stairs. Have handrails on all stairs ? indoors and out. Have a safe ladder or "step stool to stand on to reach high places. Do not use flammable liquids to start or hasten fires. Keep matches out of reach of small children. Provide and insist on the use of adequate ash trays. Burn flammable trash prompt ly. Store flammable fuels outside ' the house. Keep and use inflammable 1 cleaning fluids at a good dis tance from any spark or flame ? never in the same room.
