We simply must train ourselves to observe all safety rules and make progress. We should never stick in a rut but always improve ourselves and still learn enough about our modern machinery to keep ourselves safe. So don't ever pattern yourself after the man with the mule. Accept all the new methods and modern ways. Just use care in handling them so that you'll not only remain safe yourself but help others as well. fins. Jimmy is stationed in California.
