Governor McKay has called at tention to the observance of Ore gon Earm Safety Week for the ¡x'riml of July 24 to 30. This con curs with President Truman’s proclamation of a National Farm Safety Week for the Mine period. In commenting on the theme of this week, the elimination of un- safe farm practices, Governor Mc Kay said: "My Interest in this periixl of «¡xvial attention to farm safety arises from a personal conviction that our state must accept acci dent prevention ns one of our most Important social problems. It is a problem which state agencies can only part tally solve; the major part of the solution rests with the people who arc so vitally concern ed, the working and employing public. The plans of the adminis tration for an intensified state wide effort in industrial accident prevention are now under way and I welcome this opportunity to emphasize the fact that agricul ture Is one of Oregon's most hazardous Industries. Certainly the theme of eliminating unsafe farm practices is a fitting guide for the activities of Oregon's farm safety week and for the entire year as well." IMPORTANT HOAD MEETING AT CITY HALL MON.
