PREY Lait DE AT or Things have been progressing well for Port Perry's newest elementary school -- the Scugog Christian School. A location has been found, albeit a temporary one, behind the Hope Christian Reform- ed Church in Prince Albert. The school, offering Kindergarten to Grade 8 will be housed in 3 portables connected by one central hallway, with a Property Committee active- ly looking for'a permanent site. Scugog Christian School is a member of the Ontario Alliance of Christian Scheols (OACS) which is a service organization for Christian day schools in eastern Canada. To date, there are 75 schools of this type Christian School progress operating in Ontario. Scugog Chris- tian School is proud to be number 76. Ruth van Eyk, the newly-hired Kindergarten teacher, commented: "We are not newcomers to the. Christian education scene by any means. Our schools have an ex- cellent track record." The Scugog Christian School Canada Safety Council reports farm fatalities have dropped Statistics just released by the Canada Safety Council show that 107 Canadians were killed on farms in 1985, down from 120 the previous year. 22 per cent were among children under 15 years; 20 per cent were seniors 65 and over. Two-thirds of all fatal accidents involved the use of agricultural machinery. The reported number of time-lost injuries for 1985 was 6,179 up from 5,935 in 1984. This figure represents a mere fraction of all agricultural injuries as it includes only those workers covered under Workman's Compensation Boards who received compensation payments for their in- juries. The cost to the Canadian public was approximately $30 million. Of the reported cases, 65 per cent resulted in one of three types of injuries: sprains and strains (38 per cent) ; contusions (18 per cent); and lacerations (14 per cent). The Canada Safety Council in co- operation with Agriculture Canada and Provincial Safety Councils, sponsors National Farm Safety Week each year from July 25-31 in an effort to promote safer work practices on Canadian farms. This year's campaign draws attention to the value of using personal protec- tive equipment to reduce the fre- quency and severity of work-related injuries and illnesses. "The use of ear and eye protec- Looking for A Place to Advertise Your Business? LOOK HERE! Where consumers in need shop for the professionals in business!

"Unlike other industries, where its use is regulated and enforced, the farmer is largely on his own to select, pur- chase and use the appropriate equipment." Where it is impossible or imprac- tical to control or eliminate a hazard, personal protective equip- ment is a major defense in the prevention of workplace injuries. The Canada Safety Council advises" all farm managers to ensure that each worker is proper]y fitted with protective equipment and trained in its use and maintenance. Personal protective equipment is important for backyard gardeners as well, whose jobs around the home and yard may also present safety hazards. One should always read product labels and instructions to find out what degree and type of ex- ternal protection is required. Copies of the Council's "Selection Guide to Personal Protective Equip- ment" are available to farmers and gardeners from the Canada Safety Council, 1765 St. Laurent Blvd., Ot- tawa, Ontario K1G 3V4.
