Theme for the week is "Your Safety is in Your Hands." Mabel Mack, assistant director of the agricultural extension ser vice at Oregon State college, says the governor's committee on farm safety for Oregon plans a concerted effort during Natiqnal farm Safety Week to make far mers more safety conscious. Al Bauer, Salem farm radio director, is chairman for the committee. The committee is made up of representatives from the Oregon Grange, Farm Bureau Federation, Farmers Union, REA's, youth groups, industrial accident com mission, OSC, press and radio. "We believe farm safety is pri marily a'job of education through continued publicity and we're going to take full advantage of this opportunity during National Farm Safety Week," says Bauer. President Eisenhower recently underscored the need for more attention to safety precautions on the farm in pointing out thaf'a death toll of 14,000 farm residents each year is a tragic loss o the nation." Oregon's Governor Paul Patter-' son, referring to the huge death toll and the farm safety committee, had this to say: "In addition to the deaths, the president has also pointed out that more than 1, 000,000 farm residents are Injured each year. When we project these figures into our own farm ing areas, we can begin to realize the huge loss to agriculture, one of our state's greatest industries." o Monument News Dick Martin visited his brother Ansil one day last week at the La Grande Forrestery office, where he is working.
