TV blessings of technological progress so significant in achieving agricultural production to contribute to our coun try's international leadership, also add to the danger of injury on the nation's farms. In keeping with the President's concern about safety in Rural America, and in an effort to help farm families avoid daily hazards, the Department of Agriculture has plans to expand an information and education farm and home safety program. This effort centers on practices and activities that will help avert mishaps on the farm and in the home. Plans for the coming year call for renewed USDA emphasis on rural safety. Many accidents can be prevented by elimination hazards. There are many practical, common-sense precautions that farm people can take to prevent deaths and injuries. They can use the Slow-Moving Vehicle emblem on farm equipment on public roads, use protective equip ment at work, drive defensively, install rollover protection on tractors, and follow general safe practices at home and recreation. This new phase of agricultural safety through regulatory requirements must come from volunteer efforts by all of us. We want to encourage farm safety during every week of the year not just the week of July 25, 1974. "Let's all make it our goal for 1974 REDUCE ACCIDENTS ON THE FARM AND IN THE HOME," said Mrs. Nila Mann, Program Assistant in Charge of the Madison County ASCS Office.

We all know that this new highway has been "promised" the citizens of Madison County for the past 20 years. Now this is no longer a "promise" but a reality. We will now have a good road between the county seat and the largest town in the County. This project will cost app. $6,000,000.00, not counting the resurfacing of 9.2 miles of NC 208 from US 29-70 to the Tennessee' line (app. 8200,000.00). Comparing these projects with the other bids awarded to eight other counties in our area (Bun combe, Burke, McDowell, Cherokee, Macon, Tran sylvania, Henderson and Haywood) which totaled 1.7 million dollars, Madison did not come out on the short end for a change.

Morgan Explains Background For Road Letter Much interest was shown in the Bend of Ivy Road last August when over ISO people congregated at the Oak Grove Baptist Church for a road meeting at which Dr. Wayne Montgomery, a member of the Board of Transportation, and Mr. Ted Smith, a member of the Rural Roads Council, spoke of the procedure to follow In road improvements. The $30,000 appropriation for spot improvements of the deep curves and narrow sections of this road which extends from the Laurel Branch Road, across Ivy Creek, and on into Buncombe County, was the direct results of considerable citizen interest in safety and better conditions in their area. "This appropriation clearly demonstrates that patience and perseverance pay off, and that the road meeting and citizen concern were not in vain." Mr. Joe Morgan Route 2 Marshall, N.
