Safety Experts Study Mechanical Failure In Accidents [ .}._ .. _ Hwy. se _ _ KBR 3, BOLTON Phone 150 MASSEYâ€"FERGUSON > Sales & Service 8 Miles South of Boiton on According to Canada‘s minister of agriculture, Douglas Harkâ€" ness, who has given his seal of approval to the safety week, farming need not be a dangerous oceupation. "We are told that out of 49,000 farm folk recently surveyed one in every 25 has been injured and one out of every 50 farm accidents resulted in the death of a farmer." Mr. Harkness said that in order to reduce the number of accidents rural workâ€" ers must be constantly on guard against _ carelessness. _ "Farm workers who show ordinary atâ€" Recent surveys conducted on provincial and national levels ¢laim that great number of tragic mishaps accompanying farm opâ€" erations could easily have been avoided. Statistics indicate that one in every four farm families in Canada is a victim of an ocâ€" cupational ‘accident. j Farmers Urged To Abide By Safety Rules Dr. Hannan, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriâ€" culture, is urging all Canadian farmers to actively participate in the safety week and thereby beâ€" come aware of all the necessary precautions which can cut down on accidents in an entire year.

Scenes like this are duplicated all over Ontario, partiâ€" cularly during the summer season when car travel is at its peak. Visitors to new surroundings, unâ€" familiar with local train schedules, are the most frequent victims of accidents such as that pictured above. However, highway safety experts argue that mechanical failure is as much to blame for such crashes as human errors of judgment or failure to respond quickly to emergencies.

Among other causes of levelâ€" crossing accidents in highway safety statistics are such oversights as: allowing tires to become "bald" so that skids into crossings occur in wet weather, even when there are crossing barricades ; failure to replace defective windshield wipers â€" summer drivers are frequently caught in sudden downpours which blind them to oncoming traffic.

Equally dangerous are other vehicles which contain used parts salvaged from scrapped cars; sudâ€" den failure of such parts can cause fatal accidents. AT HUMBER SUMMIT "It‘s the human factor, of course," one official said. "Meâ€" chanical defects in cars which develop gradually are potentially more dangerous than a sudden blowâ€"out or failure of the hyâ€" draulic brake system. We all tend to postpone acting on problems that don‘t have to be solved right away. As long as the car is still Safety officials agree that men who are normally careful in their driving habits are inclined to postpone correction of mechanical defects in their cars, often with fatal results. New tires are alâ€" ways going to be bought "next week." Slack brakes are frequentâ€" ly talked about for months beâ€" fore the car is taken to a service station for the necessary adjustâ€" ments.

Incidents like these, multiplied many times, oecur with frightenâ€" ing frequency all over Ontario. So much so that provincial exâ€" perts are conducting exhaustive "post mortems" on all highway accidents, with particular attenâ€" tfon to the mechanical failures which helped cause them.
