tunity this summer to view "Fahnenschwingen." This oddity in the
sports world, a favorite in Swiss alpine regions, consists of the
artistic manipulation of a large flag mounted on a short handle.
Accompanied by music the player waves the flag around his
head, enveloping himself in the folds, without allowing it to become
entangled. Then, tossing it high into the air with one hand and
catching it with the other, it is passed under each of his legs, back
wards and forwards, in a series of clever manoeuvres. For addi

Farm Safety Week
Planned July 24;
State Program Set
To focus the attention of the
nation on what needs to be done
about reducing farm accidents,
July 24 to 30 has been pro
claimed as 12th 'National Farm
Safety Week. 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."
