State-Wide Educational Program.
The use of “green hands” and old Or patched-up machinery on Indiana farms during the war only in- . Creases the number of farm acci-
dents and makes a farm and home| safety program more important than | §
ever, Adam Lintz, field representative of the National Safety council, said here yesterday. He spoke at a meeting .of the Indiana Farm and Home Safety council and representatives of state trade associations, civic clubs, labor groups and farm organizations. Mr. Lintz reported that in 1941 8 total of 18,500 persons were killed, 1,500,000 injured and 70,000 permanently disabled in the daily routine of national farm life. ;
Hurt War Effort
. “Needless accidents reduce our capacity to win ‘the war,” he said. The council adopted a state-wide educational program to make farm workers and housewives as safetyconscious as industrial and factory workers and will meet next Thursday to plan the definite procedure. Governor Schricker has proclaimed April as Home Safety Mo‘bilization month. Speaking at the
4luncheon, he said:
Your subject ‘takes on an increased importance because of the vital need of conserving everything of value that we now possess. In Indiana we're killing about 1000 people a year due to accidents from carelessness and indifference. We're “concerned about the loss of life in War, but we're indifferent to the loss pf life on the home front. We only take passing notice—we’ re just too busy.” Outlines Program
Mrs. George Jaqua of Winchester, past president of the Indiana Federation of Clubs, outlined the farm
and home safety program being
sponsored by the state civilian defense council. : Block leaders and farm neighborhood workers will canvass com-
munities, explaining safety meth-|.
ods to housewives and farmers and enlisting their aid in the campaign. Culmination of the state-wide program will be a. safety achievement day to be held next year during the annual farm week at Purdue university. The council originated at this year’s farm conference. Wallace O. Lee, a member of the council’s board of directors and vice president of the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. also spoke at the lunchecn. Presiding at the conference was
Barry Brandon, committee ‘chair-
man and vice president of the Indiana Farm bureau.
FARM BUREAU CHIEF Asks FOR IMPLEMENT
Hassil BE. Schenck, president of * Indiana Farm 'bureau, urged today that production of farm machinery be resumed and asked that equipment stored in warehouses and on sales floors be released. He also asked for additional manpower to produce vital crops this year. “It requires more than courage to plow and plant and reap,” he said. “Manpower and machinery are required .to produce any commodity, including food. “To meet the present production problem, no piece of farm machinery or equipment should be permitted to set on the floor of a factory, warehouse or local distributing agency,” Schenck said.

CHARGES WASTE OF CHILD FUNDS
Judge Rhoads Says Some
- Parents Use Welfare Money for Selves.
Many parents receiving welfare benefits for their children are not using the money in the best interests of the children, Judge Mark W. Rhoads of juvenile court charged in a Speech before the Wayne club last night. t “Cases coming into my court reveal that some parents receiving
public assistance have no feeling of responsibility either toward their children or the community but feel, rather, that this support is. due them,” Judge Rhoads said. ' He cited some cases of juvenile delinquency in homes where the mother is receiving benefits from the welfare department. “There is some evidence that these mothers are not taking advantage of the public funds to rear their children properly, the main thing the welfare program is designed to do,” he said,
Leave Children in Foster Homes
He also cited cases in which the parents of children, taken away from them and placed in foster homes at the county's expense, are now earning high wages in war plants, ‘but have made no move to re-establish their children in their own homes. Only yesterday the court was advised that the parents of six children, all of whom were placed in foster homes for better care because of lack of employment several years ago, are now earning $93 a week between them. Judge Rhoads said he will urge the welfare department to make periodic investigations of these cases and make reports on how the public funds are being spent rela< tive to the welfare of the children. — eee

SCOUT LEADERS HEAR GOVERNOR
Wartime Conditions Offer Opportunity to Boys, Schricker Says.
Wartime conditions in the United States offer one of the greatest opportunities in history to the Boy Scout movement, Governor Schricker said yesterday at a conference of seventh region leaders of the Boy Scouts of America. Pointing out that the Scout program is aimed at the destruction of
intolerance, the governor said: “The real security and safety of our people lie in the spiritual life of America—scouting can help to revive and nurture the spiritual strength of the nation.” Another conference speaker, Dr. Ray O. Wyland of New York, director of education for the Scout organization, made a plea for extension of scouting opportunities to a greater proportion of the nation’s youth, particularly in rural sections where only one boy in five avails himself of scouting. About 200 professional and volunteer scout leaders attended the oneday conference.
Finals of a series of Boy Scout first aid meets will be held at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium at 7:30 tonight under the direction of Dr. C. A. Stayton,. chairman of the health and safety committee of the Central Indiana Council. The local contest is part of a regional first aid program in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin and all scout patrols entered in tonight's finals will be eligible to Midwest . Scout first aid medals if they grade 90 per cent or better in the competition. Raymond Shel-
don, Red Cross representative, will:

Food Problem.
Housewives worrying about the supplies of fresh fruits and vegetables this summer will soon know just where they stand.
