Council and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. This annual rural safety
event was begun in 1944 to help
reduce farm accidents impairing
wartime food and fiber production
The theme for the week is
"Personal Protection A Defense
Against Injury.” In this proclama-
tion, Judge Decker said “for years
many industries have relied on
personal protective equipment
(PPE) to help reduce the number and
extent of on-the-job injuries. The,
proclamation also points out that
farm safety leaders Believe that had
PPE—safety helmets, .goggles or
safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes,
and suen-been worn, it is estimated
that more than four of every ten of
these injuries could have been pre-
vented or reduced in severity.
"Most of us farmers wear "baseball
type caps” that are given to us by
feed, seed, fertilizer, farm equipment
companies, etc., because they are
comfortable to wear and-free-but
give little head protection," said
Wernette. According to the Texas
Farm Bureau Safety Department,
you should: PROTECT your head
with hard hat, bump cap when
building, trimming trees, operating
and repairing machinery, etc.;
PROTECT eyes with safety glasses,
goggles, face shield when welding,
working in the shop, when applying
ammonia, pesticides, working in
dust; PROTECT hearing with muffs
or plugs when running noisy machin-
ery and tools, shooting blasting,
etc.; PROTECT lungs with proper
respiration devices when working
in neavy dust, applying pesticides,
fumigating, working in bin, silo or
tank, etc ; PROTECT hand with
barrier cream, sturdy gloves (except
near moving parts); PROTECT body
with impervious g

PROTECT feet with safety shoos on
all farm jobs.
and skin with impervious garments
when handling ag chemicals;
The Texas Farm Bureau Safety
Department, has tabulated farm
fatalities for the past 12 years. An
average of just over 200 non-traffic
farm fatalities occur each year in well
over 100 different counties. Although
incomplete, records show that more
Texas rural farm and ranch family
members die as k result of motor
vehicle traffic accidents than any
other major cause category.
The 197H total of 152 state-wide
non-traffic farm fatalities was the
lowest count on record. Other than
traffic, two-thirds of all Texas' fatal
. farm and ranch accidents fall into
five major cause categories. The 1978
major causes and number of fatalities-,
are as follows: (1) fires & buns - 30,
involving rural homes and buildings
as well as unsafe use of flammable
liquids; (2) drownings • 27, usually in
a farm pond or tank; (3) falls - 23,
including those on ground level as
well as those from ladders, plat-
forms, and farm machinery; (4)
firearms-22, with mishaps split
between those accidents occuring in
the field and those occuring in and
around the home; and (5) tractors -
28, most of which included overturns
on both the same level and different
level, run over by and fell from the
tractor.
The 12 year study revealed that
over 2,400 Texas rural farm and
ranch family members suffered fatal
accidents, excluding automobile
accidents. Only 20 counties, repre-
enting less than 2W percent of the
state's rural population had no fatal
accidents.5 The' largest number of
rural farm and ranch fatalities in
one county was 29, excluding traffic.
During 1978, one county recorded
eight, on-the-fnrm non-traffic fatal-
ities which included five fire deaths
in the same farm home; one asphyx
iation from butane gas; one home fall
and one gunshot (hunting,!

Ranch Store
celebrates 25th
Everyone is in a happy mood at the
Ranch Store in Hondo this week as
James “Chick" and Aurline Tschir-
hart celebrate their 25th year in
business with a gigantic sale.
The Tschirharts purchased The
Ranch Store from Jake Schuehle on
July 26, 1954. It was located at 1102
18 th Street at that time.
A few years later they knew they
must have room for expanison so
they purchased property on the
corner of Avenue M and 16th Street
from the late Ray Jennings on
February 26, 1958.
Five years later in 1963 they built
their present building at 1602
Avenue M. Then in 1972 they
enlarged the structure and also
added the office building where
. Entex is located.
Dennis Zerr, service manager,
joined the firm in February 1955, and
in the past years the Tschirhart
children have joined the work force
and sales staff.
Chick and Aurline have six
children. Four sons, John, Bob and
Tony are presently employed in the
business. Joe worked after school
and during summers but now is a
butcher at Dzuik Meat Market in
Castroville.
The two daughters are "Cindy and
Cathy. Cindy is married to Glen
Kriewald and they have two child-
ren, Christi and Justin. Cathy is a
senior at Hondo High School.
The Ranch Store offers a large
display and warehouse space for
Whirlpool washers, dryers, refriger-
ators, freezers, gas and electric
ranges, air conditioners, dishwash-
ers, microw'ave ovens, trashmashers,
disposers and build-ins.
They also sell Fredrich Air condi-
tioners, Rheem water heaters, RCA
and Zenith televisions, Soundesign,
Tanglewood and Zenith Audio equip-
ent, Cobra and RCA equipment, gifts
and small appliances, electrical
supplies.
Their motto: "We Service What
We Sell.”
To celebrate their 25th Anniver-
sary Aurline and Chick will be giving
away four prizes. First prize will be
250 Susan B. Anthony Silver Dollars;
Second, third and fourth prizes: 25
Susan B. Anthony Silver Dollars.
Drawing for these prizes will be
held on Saturday, August 4?
“We are proud of our employees
who are dedicated to their jobs and
provide the best possible service,"
Chick said in announcing the celebra-
tion sale.
“We* also wish to extend an
invitation to the entire public to visit
us during this sale and take advan-
tage of the bargains as well as
register for the prizes to be given
away.”
