gear enough to tide them over the seven day trek from a remote spot called Duncan Ontario on Saturday June 13 and scheduling themselves at a pace of miles per day the girls completed miles of arduous climbing and hiking hours later Their recounts of sleeping in the open and beautirul views from the Blue Mountains made the adventure a worthwhile one worthy of repetition The girls had followed the

the north west comer of the township Farm Safety Week in July urges care caution on farm Over 1300 farm residents will die this year from accidents on the farm For this reason the Canada Safety Council is spon soring a Farm Safety Week from July 25 to to promote the idea of safety and caution in the rural areas Hal Wright Farm Safety Specialist for Ontario points to tractors and Tires as the largest contributors to farm deaths with the misuse of chemicals and serious falls running second The tractor is vital to all farm operations but a recent study by the Royal Commission on Agriculture showed that per cent of farm machinery fatalities involved tractors Farm equipment accidents in general have been blamed on fatigue and stress on the part of the operator much of which could easily have been avoided Farm equipment on public highways is another of rural death Tractors for example are not designed for highway travel and yet one third of tractor deaths occur on high Children are the tragic victims of many farm accidents An estimated per cent of all fatalities Involving farm machinery is made up of children under the age of 10 A constant surveillance of the whereabouts and activities of children is a reliable method of reducing such accidents Fires take their shore of human life Defective chimneys unsafe stoves and furnaces Improper use of electricity and gasoline have caused numerous serious fires and contributed to the growing statistics of farm deaths Again children head the list of victims In the final analysis It is the farmer says Mr Wright who must keep safety in mind whenever and wherever he may be The purpose of Farm Safely Week Is to make the farming population more aware of the dangers on the farm and urge a higher degree of care and caution What
