Fatal Farm Accidents
Greater Than Any in
Other Major industry
Safety makes sense is the
theme for this year’s national
farm safety week, Arthur S. Bus
well extension service associate
director, said this week.
President Eisenhower has pro
claimed July 23-27 as National
Farm Safety Week and supports
the campaign to prevent acci
dents among farm families.
The death toll from farm-work
accidents last year was higher
than that in any other major in
dustry, according to a national
survey. Two-thirds of fatal ac
cidents on farms are caused by
machinery, drownings, firearms,
and falls. Machinery is the cause
of 31 percent of all fatal farm
accidents.
Tractor accidents kill more
than one thousand farm persons
every year with one-third of
those fatalities occuring on high
ways. Use red flags, lights and
reflectors for safety, Buswell

VMdn’t You
By Wes Lancaster
What the world needs is to
know HOW to get right with
God! When we are completely
honest we know that we need to
get right with Him but men are
trying a thousand dead-end
streets when it comes to actually
being saved.
We stumble over the simplicity
of God’s salvation. Religion never
yet saved or satisfied anyone
There are lots of religions and
many people are devoutly relig
ious who never knew God. Relig
ion without a real fellowship with
the Lord is about as unsatisfying
as anything on earth.
Well then, HOW do we get
right with God? The church
world of our day is largely ob
scurring the simple answer to
this-supreme question with join
ings and rituals and doctrinal
squabbles. But Jesus made it
plain in one sentence. He said:
“I am the way, the truth, and the
life; no man comes to the Father
but by me!”
I am the way to God said
Jesus. Christianity is Christ, not
systems of religion. “As many as
received Him, to them gave He
the power (right) to become the
sons of God ...” How do we
receive Him? By giving oursel
ves to Him in repentance for
sin and by faith accepting His
forgiveness. We cannot deserve
salvation nor by good works blot
out our guilt. We cannot educate
or legislate or cultivate our na
ture from sinfullness to right
eousness!! God alone can change
our inner nature. In the moment
that we receive Christ thru re
pentance and faith we are both
pardoned AND CHANGED! This
is what Jesus called the “new
birth.” This is HOW to get right,
with God.
I would rather have the as
surance of a right relationship
to God and be useful to Him than
to have the world at my feet.
WOULDN’T YOU?
