Therefore we feel that now is the time to salute another nation-wide safety activity in progress 365 days a year. It is the 4-H Farm and Home Safety program carried on by nearly half a million 4-H club members between the ages of 10 and 21. We are told that these youth—who conduct safety surveys of their home farms and neighboring faim- nteads—have the best organised safety program in the rural field. They not only ferret out hazards, but follow through and correct thousands of unsafe conditions relating to farm machinery. livestock, homemaking, recreation, motoring, and scores of other things. Since the project was launched on a national basis eight yeai-s ago, enrollment has increased five times. This would indicate that our farm boys and girls have steadily become more safety minded. It means, also, that in addition to the 4-H’ers themselves, safety education has reached parents, residents of the local community, club leaders, and extension personnel. So it seems a foregone conclusion that many times the half-million young folks taking part in the 4-H safety pro gram are influenced and benefited. Perhaps this widespread flux of safety knowledge will prove to be a direct route to decreasing the 17,500 fatal accidents to farm people each year; or save some of the 35.000 farm buildings destroyed by fire; or put to constructive use the SI.000.000,000 in losses annually represented by these disasters. For furthering 4-H farm safety education, we take off our Hats to General Motors for its interest in rural youth and its public spirited action in providing $10.000 in awards annually; to the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work for arranging the program: and to the Cooperative Ex tension Service for directing the activity. BACK TO HIE ( AYES By BILL JENKINS Editor Klamath Falls Herald & News A recent AP dispatch carried this message: “Numerous casualties were reported among Red ground troops caught in a storm of rockets, bombs, machine gun bullets and — for the first announced time — the jelly-like explosive called Napalm. This incendiary liquid, composed of gasoline mixed in a secret soap-like substance, is carried in special belly tanks. The tanks are dropped and explode on contact, spray ing flaming gasoline in all directions.’’ A new weapon of war. A war fought, of course, to pre serve the peace. No war is ever fought for any other reason, apparently. When you think of the new weapons of destruc tion it is hard to keep your mind from looking backward. Picture a gloomy cave high on a hillside several hundred thousand years ago. Squatted in the entrance is a squat, hairy man patiently chipping away at a bit of flint or ob sidian — putting a keen cutting edge on it. When man in vented the knife, he first used it to kill and butcher his meat. Soon he was using it to “defend the peace of his cave” against intruders who moved into the same valley with him.
