Farm Safety Week
We Americans seem to need an official
“week” each year to remind us of thing* we
really should practice even- week of every
year.
There’s nothing wrong with the idea—the
official reminder usually proves helpful—but
too often too many people will substitute
one week’s observance for a year's practice.
National Farm Safety Week, now being
celebrated (July 23-29), is a perfect exam
ple of a “week” that should be considered a
continual part of rural life.
Co-sponsored by the National Safety Coun
cil and the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, the 18th annual National Farm Safety
Week has as its theme, “Safety Is a Family
Affair.”
Accidents in farm homes take about 2,-
700 lives a year, according to the National
Safety Council, and 3,400 persons are killed
each year doing farm work.
Accident prevention, on the farm as any
where else, involves positive action that
makes sure a job is being properly done.
Servicing a machine while it is moving is
not only an unsafe practice, but is an ineffi
cient way to do the job.
Observing safe practices when driving ve
hicles means operating the vehicles for peak
performance—getting the most efficient op
eration and saving wear and tear on the en
gine.
If we think of safe practices as a means
of doing things, rather than as a set of do’s
and don’t’*, accident prevention will pre
serve the lives of farm families.
It is up to each of us to see that we fol
low safe practices in every farm activity—
at work, at home, at play, and on the high
ways. None of u« can afford the economic
loss—to say nothing of the personal tragedy
—wrought by farm accidents.
Let’s make every week Farm Safety Week.
A Word For Small Colleges
Students who for one reason or another
cannot attend the big, famous and often
distant universities should not overlook the
values and opportunities to be found in the
small colleges which dot our land. In many
respects the small are equal to the big.
In a study of scientific manpower a while
back. Dr. John R. Steelman found that in the
same period Hope College, Monmouth Col
lege, St. Olafs College and Oberlin College
combined produced more candidates for the
doctor’s degree in chemistry than did Johns
Hopkins, Fordham, Columbia, Tulane and
Syracuse all together.
Prof. William S. Haldeman, a real-hfe
“Mr. Chips,” was responsible for inspiring
a fourth of all students who majored in
chemistry under him in his thirty-four years
at Monmouth College in Illinois to obtain ad
vanced degrees. If they needed money to do
so, he often loaned it to them from his own
pocket.
One of his graduate* had an important
role in the commercial production of peni
cillin. Others have helped in atomic research
and many are in key position* in the chem
ical industry. Still others are following in
his footsteps as teachers and helping to train
more scientists.
Professor Haldeman has moved on to a
well-earned retirement in San Diego. Cali
fornia, but Monmouth and other small col
lege* continue to have such inspiring and de
voted teacher* on their faculties and they
are among America’s greatest assets.
South Carolina’s small colleges, including
Clinton’s own Presbyterian College, have
been offering such values and opportunities
for years.
gambling against the possibility of being
crippled for life through their own negli
gence.
Whether or not the Sabin live-virus vac
cine is a better vaccine than Dr. Salk’s is a
hiatter for scientists and physicians to de
cide—later. The National Foundation,‘which
financed all the research leading to both
vaccines with funds contributed to the
March of Dimes, gives the only sound ad
vice which parents can follow. It points out
that, since no live-virus vac-cine has yet
been licensed for distribution, since you
cannot get live-virus vaccine from your phy
sician, and since the present polio “season”
will be over before mass 'production, li
censing and distribution of the live-virus
vaccines are completed, there is only one
course of action for conscientious parents to
pursue. Get your family started on a full
series of Salk shots TODAY.
Millions of pre-school children and young
adults are still without protection. These
are the age groups most open to attack.
Don’t let technical controversy confuse
vou. Vaccinate NOW.
Don’t Be Confused
When controversy lead* to public enlight
enment, we’re all for it. But there are times
when controversy results in public confu
sion, with disastrous results. This is particu-
lariy true when experts clash on technical
points that cannot be grasped quickly by
those of us without scientific background.
We fervently hope the recent controversy
over the relative merite of polio vaccines
will not discourage parents from seeing that
their families are given a full series of Salk
shots immediately. This is the critical time
of year when the unprotected are most ex
posed to the polk) attack. The Salk vaccine
is available now. It is more than 90 per
cent effective in preventing paralytic polio.
Those who have not been vaccinated are

Five Doy Week,
Babson Park, Mass., July 27—The laymen
whom 1 meet and talk with often express confu
sion as to the true statue of business and financial
conditions, having been bombarded with conflict
ing reports from the optimists and the pessimists
Therefore, 1 think it would be helpful to readers
to have a brief survey of economic developments
through mid-year 1801.
SECURITIES MARKETS
The outstanding feature of financial conditions
over the first six months of 1901 was the sharp up
spurt in stock market activity. The Dow-Jones
Industrial Average rose from 010 at the beginning
of the year to an all-time high of
706 in the middle of May, before
trailing off to 684 at mid-year. Al
though part of the increase in in
vestment interest was in anticipa
tion of some improvement in gen
eral business later in the year, in
flation psychology and specula
tive enthusiasm heightened buy
ing impationce.
Bond prices were on the upside
until late in this period as easy
credit conditions in the banking
system sustained demand for them. Tax-exempt
bonds proved to be the exception, however, with
prices depressed by the huge volume of new of
ferings.
GENERAL BUSINESS
" Industrial production continued to decline dur
ing January and February, then in March regain
ed the ground lost in those two months. There
after, output from the nation’s factories expanded
sharply. The breadth and vigor of the business
upturn were indications that the fourth economic
recession since World War II had run its course.
Notwithstanding pump-priming measures initiat
ed by the Government, the business rebound was
largely the result of natural curative forces It
has been my experience that over-exertion, colds,
and indigestion respond best to “rest and treat
ment," usually without my having to resort to
pills So, too, the recessionary period provided
the needed rest for the economy to appear to cor
rect such inbalances as excessive inventories and
debt, and unduly high price and cost structures.
The biggest source of disappointment during
the first half of 1901 was the lethargic pace of con
sumer spending for goods. Monthly retail sales
figures dawdled along at rates below those for the
year-earlier period This, however, may have
been a blessing in disguise, since consumers were
building up future buying potential by adding to
their savings and paying off their installment
debts.
NEW BUILDING AND BEAL ESTATE
New construction expenditures continued the
generally sidewise trend of 1900. Commercial, in
dustrial, and public utility outlays for new con
struction were at record rates, but these were off
set by the low levels of home building and high
way construction. However, housing starts began
to edge upward after the beginning of the year,
and road building took an upward spurt in the
spring.
Real estate prices were generally steady dur
ing this peiod Suburban porperty values held
firm because of residential, commercial, and in
dustrial developments in oulying areas made ac
cessible by new highways. Urban real estate val
ues, however, remained under the handicap of
traffic and parking problems Farm land prices
continued to rise, aided by prospects of increas
ed usugr of agricultural products through foreign
aid programs.
EMPLOYMENT AND INCOMES
Employment conditions presented a mixed pat
tern. Unemployment rose sharply during the win
ter. and improved only slightly in the spring. Em
ployment in manufacturing, mining, and con
struction suffered from the drop in business, and
responded only grudgingly to the rebound in ac
tivity during the spring. Factory work weeks,
however, showed a steady improvement.
Personal incomes edged downward early In the
year lengthened factory work weeks and wage
increases, however, restored the rising trend to|
personal incomes, which hit n new record level by!
mid-year. The foregoing study indicates to me
that, on the whole, the economy weathered the
“resting period” quite well, and has emergar on a
healthier footing.
