Ontario’s Safety Conference ELCOMING the third annual Ontario Farm Safety Conference to the Ontario Agricultural College, the President. Dr. J. D. MacLachlan said. “As members of the Farm Safety Council you are not here only for yourselves; you are working for the safety of everyone." And Mr. T. R. Hilliard. Assistant Deputy Minister of Agriculture. congratulated the council on the fact that since its organiza- tion interest in farm safety had increased in- stead of decreasing after the first enthusiasm. Mr. Hilliard also paid a tribute to members of the Department of Agriculture staffâ€"en- gineers, agricultural representatives and others who are working closely with the peeple in the safety program. "As a young organization you are not ham- pered by tradition," Mr. Hilliard said. "You can “think dangerously’â€"not act dangerously. but have courage in introducing things that catch people‘s imagination. something they will talk about. You don’t know how many lives you may have saved. but perhaps your best measurement is your own attitude in being more concerned with safety than you were before.” The Broad Scope of Safety Dr. W. R. Mitchell. Director of Extension of the Ontario Veterinary College. speaking on the question “What dees safety mean to you?" said that safety began to have meaning for him when an uncle was gored by a bull. when his father was crushed in a gravel pit and crippled for life. when a friend had a tractor accident that left him with a permanent spinal injury. Members of the audience. when asked for their ideas of the meaning of safety. made such recommendations for accident prevention as “eternal vigilance“. "the removal of hazâ€" ards“. “think. think, think". "don't be in a hurry". “remember that an accident results from either human or mechanical failure". and “that safety comes through education“. Dr. Mitchell dealt with some "accidents" re- sulting in illness: He warned that unsafe eating habits may lead to food poisoning â€" many deaths have occurred from food poisoning at church suppers: the old-time “summer comâ€" plaint" usually came from spoilage in food be- fore the days of refrigeration; meat is not alâ€" ways inspected in rural districts: brucellosis in unpasteurized milk causes undulant fever; ring- worm is frequently contracted from calves: lockjaw may result from the tetanus germ getting into a wound.
