Modern Living Requires Habits Of Safety LINCOLN '.'We are living in such a complex and fast-moving society that it Is now necessary that all members of a family practice and promote good safety habits," says Rollin Schnieder, University of Nebras ka Extension safety specialist. That's why National Farm Safety Week, July 23-29, has this theme: "Safety Is A Family Af fair." Members of farm families can become rural safety engineers in a very real way without under going any type of formal safety education. Being alert to farm hazards, urging carefulness In place of carelessness, being. a promoter for safety everyday, and giving support to safety or ganizations will ultimately pro duce safety consciousness on the part of farm people. Schnieder states that "there are three major steps necessary to promote safety for rural peo ple. They are: 1. Realize that hazards do exist. 2. Eliminate as many hazards as possible. 3. Learn to live with the haz ards that cannot be eliminated. "A good example here is the corn picker, which must be con sidered a dangerous machine. This need not be dangerous, if the operator will follow all safety instructions which come with the machine," Schnieder points out. "It is important that all mem bers of a farm family be made safety conscious. This includes danger spots around the farm, knowledge of what constitutes major hazards, awareness of dangerous practices In handling machinery and livestock, plans for safeguarding children, con sideration for risks in the use of electricity, eficiency In fire pre vention, and up-to-date first-aid knowledge. "It is also very important that the farm family participate in an organized program of safety for their communities, county, and state," Schnieder emphasizes. Be Careful, Young: Man Stoutish middle-aged women, a motor expert has discovered, are the safest drivers, but my boy, you'd better be pretty darn ed careful whom you compli ment on that score.
