^urfd«y, 'July IS, IV6S • 11.1%/nk.vr r\ii^w«.r, mwwi^i#nfi^« Frames Protect Tractor Drivers Statistics indicates that at U‘ast 20 Tar Heels will <lic this year lor the lack of a simple safety device on farm tractors. The safety device is a ''piolijc- five frame,” designed to protect tractor drivers against a crush- ' ing "roll-over.” Alarmed by the high rale of farm tractor deaths, traolor man ufacturers and land-grani utfiver- sities have been studying ways to make them safer. Results of these studies show , that at least three-fourths of all "roll-over” victims could he sated by a simple steel 'frame wi'Ided above and to each side of the driver. "The Agricultural Exti-nsion Service now recommen<ls that, such a protective frame be i)laci'd| on all farm tractors," said Eu.s- tace Beasley, extension agricul tural engineer at Noi th Carolina .State University. "Statistics from the C. Slate, Board of Health show that 11 people were killed in tiu' stale last year in tractor accidents," Beasley explained. “Of this num-, ber, 29 were killed in tractor ov erturns.” While the U. .S. DeitarlmOnl of- Agriculture and the National Safety Council eslimtile that at lea.st three-fourths of these roll over victims could havtt been saved, actual experience with protective frames in Sweden shows the percentage to he much higher. Sweden has required protective frames or cabs on all farm tr;ic- tors delivered since 19.>n. As a, result, only one di-iver was re ' ported killetl in .35 tractor over-, turns since that date, and he died while trying to jump from the tractor. “All major tractor manufac turers are now designing and testing protective frames for their most popular new tractor' moriels,” Bc'asley said. "Protective frames for some! models of tractors are already on the market. One estimate is that these frames, along with .seat belts, will cost from about .Slid, to $360. depending on the tractor size,” B(‘asley added. ' “The cost of tills protection is' small in comparison to the poten tial savings in life, injury, med- ii-al costs, and properly damage," he slre.s.sed. “.So far, I’ve* seen no commer cial farm tractors in North Caro lina with such equipment. 1 have scs-n .sonic tractors with c-abs to protect the driver against weath er. I tut tractor owners should reali/e that many of these eabs will not iiroleci the driver against over-turns.” .Norway, Denmark, and Fin- laml iiave joined Sweden in re- (tuiring protective cabs or frames,I (ireat Ifrilain will reiiuire frames or cabs on tractors sold or rent ed after .Sept. 1, 1971). Disposable Home Furnishings Now On Market Having A /, Wedding? . Paul Lemmons Phone 487-4.51)2 Photographer -fc- --y] 1;.-\LE1(:II Disposable house furnishings, such as furniture, curtain.s, draperies, tablecloths, bedspieads and even rugs, have arrived for liome use, says .Mrs. Lillie B. Lillie, extension hous ing and liou.se furnishings spe cialist, North Carolina State Uni versity. These furnishing.s, made of paper or tionwoven fibers, are ex pected to perform in short-teim; not long-term situations. Short term furnishings eould he an ari.swer for the young cou ple who i-annot and does not wish to put much money imme diately into permanent furnish ings, Mrs. Little believes. They can prove u.seful in apartment living or for fixing up a college room or rented house. Another use for disposable fur nishings is children’s rooms, .since this type of furniture is'soon out grown. Though of paper construt - tion or tionwoven Dbers, the.se items are built sturdily enough to last for the time they will be needed. "TIktc’s not much point,” Mrs. Little .says, "to talk of paper fuf- nishings that can be drycleaned or restored to last a long lime. The main idea is dispo.sability.' Lower prices are the lure for short-term furnishing.s. Cost of paper or nonwoven fiber prod ucts i-u.'rentl.v range from low to moderate depending on produc tion costs. Pricing and disposabil ity will have to be closely linked, if these furnishings are to be poiiular. she says. Currently attention is being focu.sed on the need for better labeling .so consumers buying di.s- posable furnishings will know what Ihe.v're getting. Also these furnishing.s are being given tests to make sure they meet the .stan- ilards set by the Flammability Act. for fire-prevention. rout CLOTHES CAN li LOOK LOVEUER Itfs a feet i)ry cleaning aMkas clothes last up to twieo as longl And with Martbrizbift your clothes fBt personal care tiud lastoies them like newk Everyday - Special SHIRTS Folded or on Hangers ONLY i^nCHOUR 7 mmam. the most in DRY CLEAllinG II FREE" STORAGE We have a large storage space especially for summer storage.
