SHUMAN EDITORIAL 



NATIONAL HONORS 



THE Record, Illinois Agricultural 

 Association official publication, has 

 received an award of honor for 

 submitting the best editorial on 

 farm safety entered in a national 

 farm magazine contest sponsored by the 

 National Safety Council. 



The winning editorial was written by 

 President Charles B. Shuman in the July- 

 August issue of the lAA Record and 

 was entitled Safety Islands in the Coun- 

 try. 



Leading state and national farm maga- 

 zines competed in the contest conducted 

 by the National Safety Council, a non- 

 profit organization supported by leading 

 insurance companies, including Country 

 Life Insurance Company. 



In his editorial President Shuman con- 

 trasts the false sense of security on a 

 farm with the obvious dangers of city 

 traffic and concludes that the farm is not 

 a haven of safety. 



The award was presented to President 

 Shuman by Maynard H. Coe, director, 

 farm division of the National Safety 

 Council. 



In granting the award the judges said 

 the editorial was "short and concise with 

 an appropriate title, gripping with the 

 use of examples, an editorial in the true 

 sense." 



The Record was one of seven maga- 

 zines- to win one of the National Safety 

 Council's awards of honor for distin- 

 guished service to farm safety. 



Better Farming Methods, The South- 

 ern Planter, and The Wisconsin Agri- 

 culturist and Farmer, were picked for 

 the national, regional and state magazine 

 winners, respectively, for their work in 

 promoting farm safety week held this 

 year during July 20-26.

 awarded to the Illinois Agricultural Asso- 

 ciation Record in the National Safety Coun- 

 cil's farm safety contest. 



The Farm Journal won first honors in 

 the photograph division with a picture 

 of five farmers who had lost arms or 

 fingers in accidents. 



Successful Farming won first for the 

 best original feature story on farm acci- 

 dents told by the magazine by the use 

 of pictures. The Illinois Granger won 

 honors for the best farm safety cover. 



The judges were Harold Swanson, as- 

 sistant editor, college of agriculture, St. 

 Paul; Walter John, director of informa- 

 tion, USDA Production and Marketing 

 Administration; and Maynard H. Coe of 

 the National Safety Council. 



"Special commendation goes to the 

 efforts being made by the smaller maga- 

 zines for their participation which, in 

 spite of the paper shortage and other 

 handicaps, are giving vigorous and in- 

 telligent support to farm accident pre- 

 vention." 



This is the first year the lAA Record 

 has entered the contest and is also the 

 first year that the best cover, best pho- 

 tograph, best original feature, and best 

 editorial divisions of the contest have 

 been offered. 



FARM YOUTH IN 

 CHICAGO INVITED 

 TO VISIT lAA 



FARM BUREAU and the Illinois Ag- 

 gricultural Association seldom look 

 with favor on the migration of young 

 people from rural areas to large cities. 



The lAA realizes, however, that 

 many are determined to try life in near- 

 by cities like Chicago. It is with this 

 thought in mind that we invite young 

 farm people arriving in Chicago to visit 

 the personnel department of the Uinois 

 Agricultural Association. Perhaps there 

 is an opportunity to suit you in your 

 own farm organization. 



If you can find a job with us, your 

 farm background will be of great value 

 to you. It will be of value to the 

 lAA. We do not wish to lure young- 

 sters away from the farm but invite 

 those to see us who are planning to 

 come to Chicago. 



The Association offers a wide variety 

 of clerical jobs — general office work, 

 typing, stenography, bookkeeping, and 

 office machines. The new office build- 

 ing provides a modern office environ- 

 ment. Salaries are based on prevailing 

 area rates and promotions are made from 

 within. 



The housing situation remains seri- 

 ous and anyone moving to Chicago should 

 make certain of living accommodations. 



If you plan to move to Chicago and 

 will be looking for work, write to the 

 personnel department. In your letter 

 you might mention what kind of job 

 you feel qualified for, and also when 

 you expect to be available for work. 



CORN DRYER INSURANCE 



When a corn dryer is used in con- 

 nection with a farm building, a permit 

 for such use must be attached to the 

 fire insurance policy covering such 

 building and its contents if insurance 

 protection is to remain in force. 



Farmers who contemplate the use of 

 a corn dryer should see their fire in- 

 surance representative and make ar- 

 rangements for a permit. 



The permit will be issued for periods 

 of 90 days, as desired, for a charge as 

 provided by the official rate making 

 organization in Illinois. 



The dryer itself will not be pro- 

 tected unless it is specifically insured. 

 The amounts of coverage on the build- 

 ing, contents, or the dryer during the 

 period of operation may, if the insured 

 desires, be for lesser amounts than that 

 carried in the regular policy.
