PAGE TW£riO A nw ~ i £ , A WuP.Pu.5IA ý ON TWAMU ?NURDAY, JUY 4th, 18 ED17 ORIALS More Accidents on Farms Than Factory Farmers have a hîgher accident rate than industnial workers, according to recent studies, and yet mast farm accidents are preventable, states the Department of Agricultural Engineering, Ontario Agi-- ,cultural College, Guelph. For instance, dangerous stairways and ladders cause many mishaps in farm build- ings. Makeshif t stairs should be eliminat- ed, and constructed with handrails, as an -extra precautian. And the stairs should not be allowed ta accumulate hay, leaves, and dirt. Many a ladder that is used a great deal has loase or broken rungs. Ail rungs should be tîght and strang, says the de- partment, with the advice that "a broken rung may mean a broken leg." Every year, farmers are injured by falling through feed chutes. Trap doors or covered chutes should be built at the edge of the mow, s0 that straw and hay rnay be handled with safety. Tests have proved that a 250 watt heat lamp ignited straw when the clearance is one inch. Accardingly, heit Iamps when used for the brooding of paultry, hogs, and other livestock, should be installed pro- perly. Individual heat lamps should be suspended 'by a chain, not twine, aind at no time should they be placed dloser than 12 inches from the litter. Light bulbs too have been found capable of starting a f ire if located too close ta inflammable material. Owîng ta the dusty conditions which exist in hay- mows and grananies, and the cansequent danger of fire, ail light- bulbs shouid be equipped with dust-tight globes. A number of precautions should be observed when using any electrical equip- ment and the same applies fa the location of buildings, building construction, the handling and staning of implements, the disposal of rubbish, and the practice of smoking. These precautians -are treated in detail ini a new circulai-, "Safety around Farm Buildings", obtainable now at the office of the agricultural representatîve. Our actogenarian feilow townsman and merchant prince W. J. (Biily) Berry, who is on his annual sight-seeing tour of America sends us the following dlipping from the Lexington (Kentucky) Herald which he read during a stop-over at San Antonio, Texas. Billy adds this note: "If this editorial is any good, OK; if not, your wastebasket wilI hold it." With the hot weather we are having the editor is in no mood for writing editoriais 50 we gladly pass on the clipping for your approval, as follows: "One of the tenets of communism is equal redistribution of the wealth. On first thought this idea seems ta have some menit but a double take of the proposition ,reveals an entirely different story. Such is remindfui of a tale we onc&- heard of a man who wished for a huge sum of money and awoke one morning ta find out that through a miracle hîs wish had came true.' Finding himself rich, he hurriedly donned his clothes and rushed out ta tell his neighbors about bis good fortune. Althougb surprised, it did not dim his hap- piness ta learn that ail his neighbors too had become rich overnîght. For a time they ail reveled in their new and mirac- ulously gained weaitb but then the picture cbanged.

Sa if you want ice that will cool things, and keep them cold for 24 hours or mare, without getting them wet, this new canned ice is the thingr. It cames in a six-ounce can, like frozen orange juice. And when you feel a picnic or a fishing trip coming on, you put these cans in the freezing compartment of yaur refrigerator. Whatever is in the cans freezes faster than watrr - and colder.

When tbey tried ta cail the editar and the miik- man ta complain, the telephone wvas dead. Likewise were the radio and television sets because there was no electricity ta activate the tubes. But that wasn't ahl. The gas was cut off, the gracery stores closed, and for ail practical purposes the world was dead because the wealth had suddenly been redistributed. Everyone was nich, including the butcher, the baker, and the editor. There was fia necessity for anybody ta work any more. Instead of making everybodý happy, this newly acquired money had just the opposite effect and the folks weren't long in discovering that mere money isn't wealth. This stary, we know, is a fantasy, but it is being used as an example ta show that real wealtb lies in the capacity ta produce and not in huge sums of money alone.

In the Diii and Distant Pas Prom The StatesmnFile 25 YEARS AGO (1930) Rev. R. J. Shires of St. John's Anglican Church was Ieaving in October to take over mis sion work in the Haliburton district. Tribute was paid ta Mr. Shires' work in the church and community. Rev. W. J. Todd of Alsa Craig was inducted as minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Mrs. L. B. Williams, assistedj by her better haif, landed a lunge weighing 211½2lbs. at Lake Scugog. The fiEh was 46 inches long and had a girth of 18'2 inches.' Family picnics were rnany with the Courtice - Everson, JTruil, Collacott and Werry clan gatherings all listed for July,. Among other Rotary Club activities in 1930 was the sup- plying of 30 botties of milk per day to Public School pu-J pius. Among those off for military camp at Barriefield Camp, Kingston, were Mayor W. J. Hoar, Staff Capt. D. C. Warni- ca, Major E. S. Ferguson, Ma- jor G. C. Bonnycastie, Capt. A. H. Bounsali, Capt. F. L. Dud- ley, Ptes. Ingram, Colmer, Hon- eyman, J. Weeks, also Corp. N. Hackney.
