School News SAFE FARM DRIVEWAYS Farm Driveways lay outs present serious traffic hazards on many farms. Frequently the driveway is flanked with trees, bushes, or crops, making it impossible for motorists to see farm vehicles entering the highway, but attractive landscaping can be achieved without the use of hazardous, view-obstructing plantings. The highway right-of is' usually 66 feet in width. If necessary to trim bushes and other obstructions on the right of way. consult the Highway Department or the officials under whose jurisdiction it lies. Adequate sight distance is not all that is necessary for safety at driveway entrances. Safe driving are also essential. In one study, involving 15 states, over 5 percent of all rural highway accidents occurred when farm vehicles were entering the driveway and. nearly I*2 per cent leaving the driveway. Here are some good rules to follow’: • When entering the highway, make a full stop about ten feet from the edge of the pavement and look both ways. When the flow of traffic is clear, turn into the proper lane. Avoid swinging beyond the center line when turning right. When leaving the highway, signal your intention of turning at least 100 feet in advance. Give yourself and any’ vehicle that may be following you plenty of distance so you can both slow down gradually. Stay in the proper lane—do not swing to the left side of the road when turning right, and vice versa. When moving large farm equipment such as combines, mowers, hay racks, or tractors on the highway. drive on the shoulder if possible. Be extremely cautious in turning and crossing. Never move such equipment at night without lights at the from and rear. Farm families travel on the highway both for business and pleasure. You have special problems. Much of your driving is on the open highway when speeds are high; moving bulky machinery down high-speed roads is sometimes necessary; you may cross railroads several times a day-., where trains run at top speeds; you may cross the road frequently to get the mail. One moment of carelessness may cost your life. Mark Godshalk Second Grade One cardinal, some starlings l and sparrows have visited our i bird feeding counter during this cold weather.

It can kill you faster than a gun if there is enough current. The safe use of electricity should be known to everyone, young and old. Most people do not realize the dangers involved in electricity. It is really not safe (ta a technical sense* at any time. Here are some dangers, and ways to prevent them: Short circuits, as most people think, are caused only by crosstag positive and negative wires. Thi? is not true. Short circuits can also be caused by putting too many appliances on one circuit. This causes too much current to come through the wires, thus melting the insulation on the wires, exposing the bare wires to wood (unless the walls are insulated) and causing a fire. To prevent

make sure all wires are properly insulated with the house. Always use the proper-sized fuse. Make sure that there are no faulty switches, plugs, extensions, ect. These can be very dangerous. Wall switches should have plate around them flush with the wall. This eliminates the danger of getting a shock, especially when a person’s hands are wet. Plugs and extension cords should not have frayed wires. Always repair these hazards. Another problem in rural areas is the use of electric fences. Many people and animals are killed by “home-made” or make-shift electric wires hooked up to 115-volt (and higher) power lines. Fanners should always use an approved controller. Fence lines should be well insulated from brush, crops, etc. to prevent short circuits, Electric fences need to be used for pastures or valuable crops, etc. to prevent the escape of farm animals, crop-injuring wild animals, etc. Never should one be used near a house.
