MAKING FARM SAFE
This and National Farm Safety
Week Will Be Observed July 34-30

Throckmortoa-Yotinfe Baptist Brotherhood
—
The week July 24-10 should be
for every Tiun on and off the
firm a practice period in preven-
tion of accidents. The period has
been designated as Texas and Na-
tional Farm Safety Week.
The Texas Farm and Ranch Saf-
ety Committee believes that acci-
dents on farms do not occur be-
cause farmers and their families
am more careless than other citi-
zens But with excess work and
fatigue they often neglect neces-
sary precautions in working with
power equipment and edged tools,
and in keeping in good repair arti-
cles which are used frequently.
Prevention of accidents has a
deeper importance than merely
keeping people fit to do their
work The waste of human lives,
the pain and sometimes permanent
crippling resulting from accidents,
and the disruption to family life
when a member it injured are of
even greater oentoquonce. The dis-
tressing thing, points out the com-
mttteeman. is that so large a part
of accidents which are happening
daily could be aveided by caution
