A SAI.I TE TO I II FARM SAFETY
National Farm Safetv Week is being observed through
out rural America, July 23-29. 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.

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”
