He admitted, however, his company did gain from "the spin-off of free advertising" from travelling the 317 miles of township roads. ' The scrap dealer told Zorra Township councillors he "felt it was quite successful for a first effort" and agreed to help in a fall cleanup campaign. This time, however, instead of going to each residence as they did in the spr- ing, the firm intends to leave a truck at a central depot on a Saturday during October. Council agreed, and will pay for the advertising costs in the fall.

' Joiy7l Iciflf Poor economy, stress blamed as 48 Ontario farmers killed in 1983 . TORONTO (CP) ---- Farming in Ontario 'may be hazardous to more than just economic health. The Ontario Farm Safety Association says there were a record number of farm injuries in 1983, with 2,809 reported --- an increase of 14 per cent. . 4 The economy, stress, carelessness and the number of children and young workers around a farm are all being blamed for the rise. The province's Workers' Compensation Board says injuries to farmers last year cost more than $10 million and farm fatalities were up 20 per cent, with 48 Ontario farmers killed in accidents. James Cibb, of Embro, president of the farm safety association, said stress caused by the troubling financial situation on Ontario farms is taking farmers' minds off their jobs. "The economic situation is on the minds of more and more people," he said. "Everybody is thinking about their financial situation and it is preying on their minds instead of what they're doing. ' "You've got the farmer working longer hours and they're working bigger farms with bigger . machinery. so the potential for accidents is greater." .Robert Plunkett, a spokesman for the associa- tion, said studies show farmers suffer more than urban residents from stress in times of financial difficulty because farmers stand to lose more. "The farmer suffers losses personally and di- rectly because it's his family and his farm," Plunkett said. He also noted farmers don't buy the latest safety equipment when times are tough because it doesn't bring them any concrete gain. Larry Swinn, public relations coordinator for the safety association, said the accident figures show that children shouldn't operate or ride on high-powered equipment. .- . ' 'Ten of the fatal accidents involved people ' younger than 20, and 40 per cent of farm injuries involved workers younger than 25. "The farm workplace has always been used as a child-care centre and parents don't seem toget the message that it's dangerous," Swinn said. There are no health or safety regulations gov- ' erning Canadian. farm working conditions, al- thongh provincial agriculture ministries try to make farmers aware of the hazardsof their pro- fession.
