While they save time and effort, they also take lives (over 100) and cause personal injuries (s..me 55,000) each year. And, as you might expect, toes and * fineers i?pt thp wnrct nf ; ~ 0 c-v ?..w .. W. o?, xyi ill l^Ul Ulg U recent year, more than 50,000 toes and < 13,000 fingers were amputated by power mowers. One in seven of these * accidents brought a permanent disability. Rotary mowers were the culprit in over 90% of all cases. Whirling blades can hurl dangerous missiles; can pick up rocks, rusty nails, pieces of glass, steel or wood and hurl 1 them at bullet speed. These flying ob- ? jects usually strike the left lee. ankle or foot of the operator. Sometimes they are thrown upward hitting the torso, or the eye. causing serious eye ? injuries or the loss of sight. To avoid such accidents, put these < safe-mowing practices to work. Before Mowing t Read the instruction manual carefully. Check mower for cracks, loose nuts or bolts and parts that need replacing. Fill the tank before you start so that you won't have to do it during mowing . . . when the engine is hot! ? Leave space for expansion. The heat of the sun can cause gasoline to expand. Work out-of-doors for protection against harmful fumes. Clear away stones, sticks, rocks, wire, etc. on the lawn. Place large ? objects, such as sand boxes, tricycles and swings where you won't step back and trip over them. Be sure you can stop the mower and motor at a moment's notice. Know how to disengage the clutch and stop the engine. f CLOTHMAKER t Miss Crocker Directs Play Ginger Crocker is the student direc:or of an original play which will be brc-sented May 4-8 at Columbia Colege at 8 p.m. in Cottingham Theatre.
