You may be one of the farmers who travel the highway between your farms with your tractor and other equipment. Or maybe you do custom work and so must take your machinery on the road. Whatever the reason, more farmers are mixing their relatively slow machines with the faster car and truck traffic. In many cases, this has resulted in irritation and frustration for the motor- ist and a very real hazard to the farmer. This need not be so, if both realize the problem and also use a little courtesy, suggests the Ontario Farm Safety Council. Many city drivers do not recognize that farm vehicles travel thirty or forty miles an hour slower than their own vehicles. This results in rear end collision, if the car cannot be stopped in time. If a special sign is used that denotes a slow moving vehicle, this problem could be eli- minated or greatly reduced. All drivers recognize the octagonal STOP sign; the triangular YIELD sign and the blue SCHOOL CROSSING sign and react accordingly. When the SMV sign has be- come common, it too will be recognized on sight and will provide the warning in sufficient time to slow down. This is only part of the answer to our current car-tractor ac- cident rating of about two hundred each year. The other part is just common COURTESY. If the car driver will display a little patience in trying to pass a farm vehicle and the tractor operator will pull over onto the shoulder occasionally and prevent a traffic buildup, then, in conjunction with the SMV warning sign, we will be able to reduce these needless tragedies. Breath On Life Every year, the lives of many Canadian adults and children are saved because someone performs mouth-to- mouth rescue breathing on them. Yet, many more lives could be saved if more people knew this artificial res- piration technique. It's taught by Red Cross Water Safety instructors and groups which are interested in first aid. It's easy to learn and takes no special skill. We think everyone should learn this life-saving tech- nique, and we think it's particularly important for every mother to know how to use it. Too many of our children die from drowning or suffocation every year. Many of them could be saved if they had the breath of life breathed into them. June 6 to 12 is Red Cross Water Safety Week in Canada. This makes it a good time to learn mouth-to- mouth rescue breathing from the Red Cross.

Is everything cut-and-dried, black-and-white, for you? Or do you sometimes wonder? I do. are some of the things I wonder about. can supply the answers. What is it about spring that turns normally toler- ant, sweet-faced, mild-eyed women into tail-twitch- ing, yellow-eyed tigers who prowl the premises in a perpetual rage, snarling, "Lift that barge, tote that bail, wash those windows, paint that rim?" Becond quesion. Why are normally devil-may- care, lion-hearted chaps, who would mix it up with an adult male gorilla if they didn't like the look on the ape's face, frightened white, at this time of year, by these 110-pound tigers? How do you tell a nice mother, wearing rose-col- ored glasses, that her son, whom she insists is going to be a brilliant surgeon, will be lucky if he catches a job at the supermarket meat counter? ' Why does the sun beat down unmercifully when I wear a raincoat while trout fishing? And why, when I don't take a raincoat, and the inevitable cloudburst comes, am I always a mile and half down the stream from my car? What kind of nuts is the world producing these days? First example. The other night there was teenage rumble near here, Police and, firemen Maybe you Here' broke it up. One kid was handcuffed and stuffed in the police car. The cops jumped out to aid fellow officers, The kid jumped out the other side, pre- sumably to aid himself. Four days later, he turned himsel in, still handcuffed, What did he do during those four days? I mean, did he ever try to... uh . .. well, you get the idea? Second example. Maybe you read this in the paper. Fellow named George Wilson was arrested. Why? Because he had just thrown Harold Wilson (no relation) through a plate-glass window. As Harold lay there in his own blood, he protested vigorously the arrest of George, "Hey! You can't do that! He's my buddy." Figure that one out. What, short of going up and strangling the lot, can I do about the black squirrels who hold howl- ing matches, footraces, country-style hoedowns, and hootenannies in my attic, in the dead of night, every night? Why are 14-year-old daughters so dreadful? They are sullen, sulky, stubborn, slouchy, grouchy, pouty, resentful. They fight with their mothers. They wreck the third pair of nylons in three days. They weep wildly at the slightest admonition. Why are 14-year-old daughters so wonderful? They are sunshine not They (This is the next day.) showers, They are helpful, not hopeless. SMILEY are sweet and shy and funny and full of vitality and eager to learn and idealistic and you wonder what you did to deserve such a bundle of blessedness. Why do 17-year-old sons think their parents should be put in wheelchairs and trundled off to an institution for the feeble-minded? And why do they get that long-suffering look when dad is tell- ing them something extremely important, like how hard he used to work in school? And why do they laugh tolerantly when mother, whom they tower over, is dispensing pearls of wisdom, like if you don't get enough sleep you won't grow up to be big and strong and wise like your father? Why do wives think their cancer, or their heart attack, or arthritis, or piles, or whatever they have every -morning at breakfast, is so much more seri- ous than the genuine ailments of the poor wretch hiding behind his paper, across the table? And why do all wives, everywhere, think they can't trust their husbands with liquor, other women, the children's up-bringing, or the best china? This is the age of questionmaires. I'm sure you have some of your own.
