Both Sides Were Missing

ONSENSUS among those merchants attending the

commission meeting last week appeared to be that

mo recent move had: been made to form a retail
merchants’ association.

The opinion is at variance with the facts because

it was early in March of this year that an organiza-

tional meeting of the town merchants was advertised.

At the time, some 12 merchants attended and decided’

to form such an association so that ‘‘ merchants could
reach a common ground on which to form policies on
credit, hours of closing and other matters,” A com-
mitte was formed to attempt to individually canvass
bulk of the merchants not present. This committee
was_to call a second meeting when their task had
been accomplished, but there the matter rested.

Fact remains, however, that the organizational
meeting was held, and that the majority of those
signing the latest petition on store hours, as well as
those objecting to the validity of the petition, were
not among those present.

We hope one of the outcomes of this latest dif-
ference of opinion among the merchants will be the
eventual formation of a strong association. This
newspaper has consistently advocated such a move—
mot out of any particular concern for the welfare of
the merchants—but in the interests of John Public,
the little man who keeps them in business.

Sound Decision

OUND move on the part of the Centennial Committee

was the announced decision this week to call a

public meeting to choose a local prs for the 1958
celebration.

Whether the project had taken the form of a
museum or a face-lifting job on the arena, without
giving the public the opportunity of sharing the de-
cision, would have inevitably resulted in engendering
@ community spat. out of proportion to the original
cause. ‘

12l=
We are assuming these proposed projects will be
the only ones offered, but we have heard a suggestion
of a health centre and one of a town swimming pool.
Perhaps there are other ideas floating around.

Once the decision has been reached, we can put
the squabbling behind us and prepare for the part we
are to play in the Centennial with the enthusiasm this
celebration warrants.

ATEST statsitics reveal that 13,000 accidental deaths
to rural residents occur annually on United States
farms.

The nation’s economic loss from farm accidents
alone is estimated by the National Safety Council at
one and a half billion dollars or more. These human
and economic tolls show that safety makes sense.
Every farm person, young and old, can help reduce the
accident rate by observing safe practices and avoid-
ing unnecessary risks.

They can eliminate farm hazards that strike with-
out warning by keeping their machinery and equip-
ment in good repair and always using safeguards; by
eliminating fire and fall dangers; by driving their
cars and tractors with caution; and by taking time to
do their work efficiently and safely all the time.

Death is not always the only tragic result of
accidents. Living with misery and disability is too
often the result of a needless accident.

Safety makes sense in preventing falls, the lead-
ing source of all injuries to farm residents and the
killer of 2,000 farm people each year. Safety makes
sense in preventing machinery and animal accidents,
which always rank high as farm killers. Take safety
seriously. Accept your responsibility to yourself, your
family and to your neighbors by helping promote safe
living at all times.
