Home, Farm Accidents Take 739 Lives
In State Last Year, Official Reveals
U. S. Fertilizer manufacturers
are supplying farmers with 23
million tons of fertilizer, each
year.
State Health Board
Cites Increase In
N. C. Accident Toll
North Carolina’s home and
farm accident death toll mounted
to a new high of 795 during the
year 1954, it is revealed by the
Accident Prevention Section of
the North Carolina State Board
of Health.
According to official death rec
ords on file with the state health
agency, all types of accidents cost
the lives of 2,492 North Carolin
ians in 1954 compared with a
total of 2,445 for 1953. In 1954
motor vehicle accident deaths
dropped from 1,196 in 1953 to
1,143 while non-motor vehicle ac
cidents rose from th e 1953 total
of 1,249 to a new high of 1,349.
Dr. Charles M. Cameron, Jr.,
accident epidemiologist with the
State Board of Health, attributed
over one half of the total increase
in addicent deaths to an increased
incidence of accidents occurring
in the home and On the farm.

739 Lives Lost
“Home and farm accidents took
739 lives in 1953 and in 1954 this
figure increased to 795,” Tr. Cam
eron said. “Official records show
that one put of every three acci
dent deaths in North Carolina last
year tock place in the home or on
the farm.”
He pointed out that accidents
are the leading cause of death for
persons under 25 years of age in
North Carolina, with home acci
dent deaths in pre-school age
children causing more deaths
than the next five leading causes
iof death, including motor vehicle
accidents.
“Accidents in the home are of
importance to the aged in the
state also,” the public health
physician said. “One put of every
two home accidents happens t6 a
person over 50 years of age and
with the exception of heart and
blood vessel diseases and cancer,
accidents are the major cause for
death and disability among the
senior citizens in our state.”
State Board of Health estimates
show that in 1954 there were a
minimum of 79,500 injuries in the
home which resulted in tempor
ary disability for at least 24
hours, it was pointed out by the
safety official. Of this number an
estimated 3,180 sustained some
degree of permanent disability, he
said.
Needless Deaths
“Home accidents are North Car
olina’s ‘unnoticed’ accidents
which year after year take a
frightening toll of the state’s hu
man resources,” Dr. Cameron
concluded. “State-wide safety ac
tivities are excellent, but North
Carolina’s communities must be
gin vigorous activities to direct
public attention to the needless
deaths, disabilities, and economic
loss resulting from home and
farm mishaps.”
STILL The No. 1
SOUTHERN STATE!
In terms of people employed and earnings. North
Carolina continues to be the leader. 1953 employment
was an all-time high with 728,918 persons working,
earning $2,045 million — or 7% more than 1952.
While figures have not been released, 1954 looks
even better — contributing greatly in making the
Tarheel State a better place in which to work, play
and live!
Another contribution to more pleasant living for
North Carolinians is the brewing industry's self
regulation program where brewers, wholesalers and
retailers—in counties where malt beverages are per
mitted under State control — cooperate to maintain
wholesome conditions for the legal sale of beer
and ale.

THE BEVERAGE OF MODERATION
Boarding Home
Operators Take
Part In Meeting
Operators of five Moore County
bearding homes for the aged, ac
companied by Mrs. Walter B
Cole, county welfare superinten
dent and Mrs. Mark King, case
worker with the welfare depsu-t-
ment, recently attended a 12-
county meeting at Fayetteville to
discuss and study boarding home
problems.
Attending the session were
three operators of homes for
white boarders: Mrs. Mamie Gib
son of West End, Mrs. Walter Fu-
quay of Carthage and Mrs. Curtis
Williams, operator of the county’s
largest boarding home which has
been opened by Roy MeSwain at
Robbins. Negro operators attend
ing were Mrs. Lillie Leak of Jack-
son Springs and Mrs. Queenie
Waddell who has just opened a
home, licensed to care for five
boarders, on West New York
Ave., Southern Pines.
Mrs. Cole said that all attend
ing found the meeting most in
formative and interesting. The
Moore County boarding homes
were set up under Welfare de
partment supervision when the
county commissioners decided to
close the county home. Boarders
without financial resources pay
their monthly bills with funds
frpm welfare department checks,
with a large portion Of this money
coming to the county from State
and Federal assistance.
