July 19-25 Set
For Farm Safety
CLEMSON.—The week of July
19-25 has been officially proclaim
ed National Farm Safety Week.
President Eisenhower, in calling
upon the nation to observe the
week, requested every farm resi
dent to cooperate in an all-out ef
fort to make 1953 as accident-free
as possible.
This will he the 10th year in
which National Farm Safety Week
has been sponsored J>y the Nation
al Safety Council and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, in co
operation with the farm safety ac
tivities of states and counties, the
farm organizations, farm press
and radio, and many other groups
interested in agriculture.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson in a recent state
ment points out that in 1951, the
last year for which estimates are
available, 14.500 farm people lost
their lives as a result of accidents.
This number, large as it is, rep
resents a reduction of one-fifth
from the estimated annual rate in
1941. The reduction in the rate
of fatal accidents to farm people
is in great measure due to the
concerted efforts of organizations
throughout the country which
have helped to create safety con
sciousness among farm residents.
“The nation has made real
progress in farm safety in the ten
years since National Farm Safety
Week was instituted, but we can
do more,’’ Secretary Benson states.
“While the farm accident rate has
come down substantially, it has
not come down enough. Exper
iences have shown time and time
again that when people give con
tinuing attention to the task of
eliminating hazards, the accident
rate falls.
“Although only one week is
officially designated for promot
ing the farm safety program, its
observance provides an opportun
ity for calling attention to the
year-round problem of farm and
home safety,” he adds.
Dr. Rankin, 59,
Newberry Native,
Died Saturday
Fifty-nine-year-old Dr. M. The-
ron Rankin, executive secretary of
the Southern Baptist Foreign mis
sion Board, died at his home at
Richmond, Ya., last Saturday. He
was a native of Newberry.
Funeral services were held at 3
o’clock Monday afternoon at the
First Baptist Church in Richmond.
Dr. Rankin formerly was a miss
ionary to China. He became sec
retary to the Orient in 1935. He
supervised the Southern Baptist
Board’s mission work in China and
Japan.
During World War II he was
captured and was interned for six
months. He was repatriated in
September, 1952.
He is survived by four broth
ers and two sisters. They are John
E. Rankin, Anderson; Lloyd C.
Rankin, Owatonna, Minn.; Manly
W. Rankin, New Orleans; Mrs. J.
R. Bailey, Tampa, Fla.; and Mrs.
Gladys Cook, Greeleyville.
Walter Richardson, spokesman
for the Annual Jolly Street
Fourth of July Celebration told
press representatives yesterday
that plans are virtually complete
for the annua: affair.
Mr. Richardson said that Judge
Eugene S. Blea^e, chairman of
the celebration, will preside.
The program will get underway
about 10:30 Saturday morning
with a speech by Sen. Olin D.
Johnston at about 11 o’clock.

Jolly Street, will give the welcome
address on behalf of the Jolly
Street residents.
Congressman Dorn informed
this paper by telegram that the

Jackson would be present and
would furnish music throughout

that this band will contribute
greatly to the success of this

the oratory, there will be the us
ual fine barbecue dinner served at
noon by the Jolly Street folk.
