Farm to Live and Live to Farm
National Farm Safety Week offers a real chal
lenge to Oregon farmers to make farming in Ore
gon a safe occupation.
The State of Oregon, as determined by fatal
accident statistics, is in a relatively unenviable
position in the United States.
According to the accident facts reported by the
National Safety Council in 1952, Oregon ranked as
the eighth worst state in America for fatal acci
dents and has the worst record for the Pacific Coast
states.
There were 1236 accidental deaths in Oregon in
1952 an average of 77.5 deaths per 100,000 popu
lation; 201 or 20 of the deaths were due to oc
cupational accidents. Disregarding all logging
fatalities, Oregon's occupational death rate is still
the tenth highest in the Unied States.
The Oregon State Board of Health Registrar of
Records and Statistics reports 22 accidental deaths
in agricultural work in 1952. The State Indus
trial Accident Commission reports on farms cover
ed by insurance in 1952, a total of 2108 accidents,
1421 represented loss in time and 9 were fatalities.
In Morrow County there were five acciden
tal deaths, one listed as occupational. Falls, agri
cultural machinery, animals, and motor vehicle
accidents account in the order listed for nearly
two out of three accidents to farm residents.
Farm families in Morrow county will join with
their friends in every county in the state this tenth
National Safety Week to plan to make their farms
a safer place in 1953. Let's plan together to re
move those accident haards in 1953-51 and FARM
TO LIVE AND LIVE TO FARM.

SHOW DRIVER COURTESY
You don't push others 'around
on sidevvulks. Don't do it in
your cur. Good sportsmanship
pnys oif for motorists in safe
ty ami in respect, says the AAA
driver training book, "Sports
manlike Driving."
Good sportsmanship is a com
bination of fair play and cour
tesy. Fair play means you know
the rules. Courtesy means you
observe them.
The driver who believes in
fair play is careful not to break
a tnillk' rule. He never cheats
at stop si'iis or red lights. He
takes the right-of-way only
when it is ae to do so.
The sportsmanlike driver does
more. In addition to obeying
trallic rules, he extends every
act of courtesy. He uives fellow
motorists every chance for
safety.
Had highway manners are
dangerous. Studies of accidents
show that good iraflic vitirinrrs
by everyone would reduce traffic

This good driving tip is worth
a try. Give the other driver a
break! Road courtesy pays off!
