farmer a hired man or even the farmers own son has been killed or seriously injured as the result of some mishap with farm machinery mr sykes added and the tragedy is that most of these accidents could have been avoided mr sykes told the conference that his organization had appeal ed directly to premier leslie frost and agricultural minister w a goodfellow for legislative action to help reduce the num ber of farm accidents and deaths we have studied the problem for some time mr sykes said we believe that the provincial government should adopt some form of a farm safety act sim ilar to the

handle if it ever gets out of control a tractor appears simple to drive mr sykes added and it is tractors are easy to start and stop but in driving a trac tor during a normal farm day- there are hundreds of errors the man at the wheel can make and one of these errors could cost him his life mr sykes said his association felt that before a person gets behind the steering wheel of a tractor he must know certain definite things about how the vehicle will operate and should be operated under different con ditions in other words mr sykes added he must know what the tractor can do and what it cant do mr sykes said he felt the rec ommendation concerning the english language was important because many new canadians both on farms and on industrial jobs are driving tractors i the problem here is that these men do not understand our language mr sykes said they cannot read our road signs or instructions regarding the ve hicle they are driving but they start driving tractors and bull dozers
