Nobody benefits from accidents. But we all benefit when good accident prevention programs are put to work to attack the problem. Acciuant reduction is your gain, your community’s gain. For centuries accidents to people of the land have caused untold suffering and destruc tion. But little or nothing was done about it. In recent times organized rural safety efforts have helped save thousands of farm people from the misfor tune of accidents through direct- action programs and educa tion. Something is being done about it, now! Rural safety is being promot ed or supported by voluntary state and local community youth women’s and farm organiza tions; extension; schools, reli gious leaders, rural media, busi ness and industrial firms serv ing agriculture. Even with this help, acci dents took the lives of over 8,000 farm people last year and injured nearly 800,000 more. Many victims were young chil dren (nationally, accidents lead as cause of death of Ameri cans ages 1 through 36, and rank 4th as cause of death in all age groups). The dollar cost to farm people? $1.5 billion. Farm people can’t afford losses like these of life and limb, time and money. A farm family experiencing a serious accident may suffer great financial hardship. If the farmer himself was the victim, a son may be forced to discon tinue his education to take over the farm, or the farm mip^ f Who Will Pay The Mortgage If You're Not Around? LIFE INSURANCE WILL!

One way is to promote safety during NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK July 25-31, and throughout the year. Here are helpful sugegstions on how: REVERENCE FOR LIFE: Take time to take care. Be “safety conscious”. Be alert and aware of ordinary hazards of the unexpected. Know what to do in an emergency. Be open- minded to safety suggestions. Correct hazards promptly; learn to live with hazards that can’t be corrected. Accidents cost time, money, suffering and sometimes life. Accidents need not happen and can be prevent ed. The individual has a re sponsibility to act safely to pro tect and prevent harm to him self and others. SAFETY BEGINS AT HOME: Neat, orderly farm houses are safer, more pleasant homes. Have a place for everything; keep everything in its place when not in use. Practice safety while doing housework, caring for the family, during periods of relaxation and home recrea tion. Check appliances, electri cal wiring, power tools, etc. for defects. Look over heating sys tem, chimneys, stoves, portable heaters, etc. to reduce fire ha zards. Clear out clutter and rubbish that could cause falls and fires. Work up a home fire escape plan. Take extra care to protect small chidlren and elderly persons. FARM AND HOME CHEMI CALS: Chemicals are widely used in agriculture; chemical household and drug products are found in every farm home. Always read label, use as di rected, take necessary precau tions in usage. Keep in original containers and store in suit able places well beyond the reach or access of small chil dren. Never transfer potentially harmful materials to unmarked food and drink containers. Poi sonous materials should be locked up. Dispose of empty containers and unused portions promptly. PREVENT FALLS: Good Planning reduces need to rush, means more work done with fewer mishaps. Repair or re place broken, unsafe ladders. When a ladder is needed, get one—don’t use makeshifts. Pro vide handrails and good light ing for stairways and steps. Pick up tripping hazards from around house, stairs, porch, yard, walkways, out buildings. Clean mud, grease, snow, etc. from shoes before climbing lad ders or on machinery, buildings trees, other high places. Re pair defective floors. Skidproof small rugs. Put up handholds at bathtub.
