FARMING IS NOT
SAFEST OCCUPATION
Contrary to the belief of many
persons, farming is not the safest
occupation in the world. It has a
higher accident rate than industry
as a whole. In fact, a farmer’s:
chances of being killed on the job !
are one and a half times greater
than are those of his fellow work
ers in the average industry. From
Pearl Harbor to January 1, 1945—
a little more than three years—
53,000 farm residents were killed
in accidents and 5 million others,
were injured.—United States De
partment of Agriculture.

BOEING AIRLINERS - GULLWING STINSONS
Shrinking the globe to new proportions, a super-fast plane, the
Rainbow was ordered this week by Pan American World Airways.
Built by Republic Aviation Corporation in New York, the Rain
bow will cruise at nearly seven miles a minute, 400 miles an hour.
It will take full advantage of the exhaust jet thrust.
The Rainbow could fly from Seattle to Tokyo in 12 hours,
Shanghai, Canton and Manila in less than 17 hours. The distance
bewleen New York and Seattle could be cut to a little over 6
hours, and New York to London to 9 hours.
Delivery of the first six planes, costing approximately $1,250,000
each, is expected to start within 22 months.
