Farm Safely Week
Stresses Need for
Safety Checks
July- 24 to July 30 is National
Farm Safety Week.
Contrary to many people’s be
lief, the farm offers more hazards
than many occupations, James
Wilson, Territoriaf commissioner
of Agriculture pointed out this
week. There are several reasons
for this, he said.
First, a farmer engages in a
greater variety of jobs than any
profession. He is painter, carpen
ter, machinist, laborer—a true
“Jack-of-all-trades”. He is often
less inclined to takes the pre
cautions in scaffolding, for in
stance, than a professional paint
er might, for he lacks the speci
al equipment that a full time ar
tisan can afford. Often too, his
equipment may be outmoded,
overloaded or not fully adapted.
The second reason for the in
creased hazards in farm work is
that farms are becoming more
mechanized and specialized.
Many insecticides and weed kil
ers are on the market, each with
different precautions needed for
safe use. The increased use of
power tools adds to the lines of
knowledge needed for safe oper
ation. The fact that most farms
are electrified calls for a know
ledge of handling electricity safe
ly.
Commissioner Wilson offered
the following suggestions of pre
caution that can be observed to
reduce accidents on farms:
1. Keep equipment in good re
pair and inspect frequently.
2. Do not overload equipment.
3. Observe precautions print
ed by manufacturers on machines
and chemicals.
4. Keep a healthy respect for
farm animals.

J You can buy a Buick Special like the one
shown here if you can buy any new car.
\bu can boss this big and brawny Buick
Sedan for just about the price of the smaller
cars—even for less than some models of the
three most widely known smaller cars. The
price we show here proves that.
But you can’t get anywhere else for the
money what you get in this Buick, or any
other new Buick—and that’s something you
really ought to look into.
For Buick sales are soaring to all-time
* best-seller highs this year just because
more and more people are discovering
how much more automobile their dollars
buy in a Buick than the same dollars
buy elsewhere.
They find Buick a bigger package of sheer
automobile for the money—bigger in power
thrill, in stretch-out comfort, in ride steadi
, ness, in structural solidity.
They find Buick size and styling an added

options are bargains.

ease an added pleasure—Buick brawn and
precision an added reassurance.
And they find Buick performance a thrill
without peer—for where else can you get the

IVIaybe you’d better drop in and see how
much real automobile and fun and deep
down satisfaction your money buys in Buick.
Whether you want the low-priced Special,
the high-powered Century, the extra
roomy Super, or the custom-built
Roadmaster — you’ll find the price more
than right and the trade-in deal terrific. Can

f Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only Dynaflow Buick builds today.
It is standard on ROADMASTER, optional at modest extra cost on
other Series.
