The discarded nail was
hidden in tall grass. The
mower blade hit it and sud-
denly it was buried an inch
deep alongside the shinbone
of the 23-year-old Wil-
liamson County secretary.
Accidents of this type
will be on the increase
now—this is lawn-mowing
time, you know—until fall
weather brings a welcome
respite from the weekly
chore.
The State Department of
Health does not keep sta-
tistics on i»en- ratal acci-
dents, so the extent of in-
juries from carelessly
handled power mowers is
unknown. But one central
Texas city reports, con-
servatively, that 15 to 25
serious accidents are re-
ported each year.
Like the man who stop-
ped his car at the curb,
intending to say hello to
his perspiring neighbor
busily mowing the grass.
Neighbor wheels up with
mower to return the greet-
ing. Man in car—elbow

This does not apply to 173 Willow Shop
his forearm pinned to bi-
cep with a five-inch piece
of wire flung at him by the
whirling blade.
Power equipment i s a
tremendous boon to the man
who likes to keep his yard
neat with a minimum of
effort. But it takes con-
stant concentration to do
the job safely. Even ex-
perience is no substitute
for concentration.
A garden club member in
a major Texas city used to
pride himself on his safe
and sane use of power tools
that helped him maintain
the sharpest yard in the
block.
But no more. One after-
noon recently, while trim-
ming his -driveway with a
power trimmer,, he reach-*
ed down ~x6' lift a bloom-
laden branch of a rose
bush out of the way.
When he with drew his
hand two fingers were
missing. "I wasn’t alert,”
he wryly explained.
One of the most frequent
mower accidents has this
sequence: "; " ?' v‘ 1 %
A stick or wire or rock
jams between cutting bar
and blade. The operator
attempts to clear the jam
without going to the trouble
of killing the motor. Re-
sults: Badly cut or severed
fingers when the surge of
power spins the freed
blade.
Most power mowers
come equipped with safety
guards. Trouble is that
guards are removed by
owners for one reason or
another and never re-
placed.

But use one carelessly
