Each year more than one-third of the farm accident victims re.-ult from mot or mishaps. The driveway on many farms is a serious safety hazard. The National Safety Council suggests that a safe farm drive way can be built by a little pre liminary planning. First, park the car in the driveway with the front bump er about ten feet from the edge of the pavement. Second, mea sure a distance of 700 feet (290 paces) along the highway to the left and place a marker, on the side nearest the car. Third, like wise set another marker 700 feet in Tn, oonoosite direction and place it on the side of the high way epposite the driveway en trance. Fifth, sit in the driver's seat of the car. If the markers can be seen, the sight distances are good if traf fic passing the? farm is travelling no faster than GO miles an hour. When the markers cannot be seen, it's time to trim rway weeds and bushes or remove other obstructions to make the driveway safe. When a heavy truck is using the driveway, markers should be set 830 feet in each direction in stead of 700 feet. Since the highway right-of-way usiu.1'' extends a consider able distance on either side of the pavement, it is wise to g--t permission when it is necessary to put up signs.
