2 ' THE LIBEML, Richmond Hill, Thursday. Jan W. S. COOK. Editor A preliminary count shows thirty Saskatchewan farm people killed in trac- tor accidents in 1951. In relation to the number of farmers using tractors and the death rate from accidents in other occu- pations this figure may not seem high. The tragic side is that most of the acci- dents could have been prevented if the op- erator had followed a policy of safety first. The survey shows 60 per cent of the deaths were caused by tractors upsetting. Trac- tors can upset for many reasons. A list of the most common reasons is as follows:â€" 1. Turning corners at high speeds. 2. Brakes not balanced with the re- sult that the brake on one side operates before the other, throwing the tractor on avbriving he tractor too fast over rough ground so that the operator, in his efforts to hang on, loses control of the ""' 4 ._Making “Jack rabbit" starts when the tractor is pulling a heavy load causing tractor. one side. facts you need 0 R D TRACT! \. is gob/612 Juhke MODEL For 25 years your Ford-Monarch Dealer 188 YONGE ST.

A new nursery class has been for- med and placed in care of Mrs. Cummer Lee, while the primary class which had become rather large has been divided into senior and junior groups.

A special vote of thanks for his work during the year was given to our minister for her untiring effort. Appreciatino was extended to Mrs. Stewart Rumble for her splendid work as organist and choir leader and to the Brodie family for the upkeep of the Church grounds.

Annual Meeting Rouge Valley Conservation Ass’n On the evening of Wednes- dawaanuary 21, in St. Phil- lip's Church, Unionville, the Rouge Valley Conservation Association will hold its annual meeting. The most important event of the evening will be the election of officers for the ensuing year. But plans for fu- ture activities will also be dis- cussed and debated. Mr. Har- ry Neighan, Game Warden, Agincourt, will be present and will tell just how conserva- tion activities can aid and in- crease the efficiency of the important work of the game warden. It is encouraging to note the increased public interest and support of Conservation in all its branches. Conservation has a sentimental side and a practical side too. The land we live “off” and the land we live “on” can’t be kicked ar- ound much longer. There should be a full house at this meeting and if you de- cidé to attend you will get a warm welcome and spend an interesting evening. HEADFORD NEWS CORRESPONDENT Mrs. H. Acreman R. R. 2 Gormley.

The annual report of the activ- ities of the York County Health Unit in 1952 is expected tot be avâ€" ailable within the next few weeks but certain accomplishments over the whole year are now apparent at the end of December. Communicable Diseases Infectious jaundice which was occurring in the form of a small epidemic in the Richvale area of Vaughan Township during the ear- ly autumn seems to have almost disappeared. Nineteen cases of infectious jaundice came to the at- tention of the health unit from three streets in Richvale, and a complete report of studies of this outbreak will be available shortly. Many of the cases were schoolage children although a number of ad- ults were affected. No deaths oc- curred.
