The discarded naB was hid-
den in talll grass. The mower
blade hit it and suddenly it was
buried an inch deep alongside
the shinbone of the 23-year old
Williamson County secretary.
Accidents of this type will be
on the increase now—this is
lawn—mowing time, you know
until fall weather brings s wel-
come respite from the weekly
chore.
The State Department of

In the block.
But no more. On* afternoon
recently, while trimming hto
driveway with a power trim-

bloom-laden branch of a rose
bush out of Hie way.
When he withdrew hie hand

wasn’t alert," he wryly ex-
plained.
One of the most frequent
mower accidents has this se-
quence :
A stick or wire or rock jama

Classified ads are effeettoel
on non-fatal accidents, so the
extent of injuries from care-
lessly handled power mowers
is unknown. But one Central
Texas city reports, conserva-
tively, that 18 to 86 serious ac-
cidents are repotted each year.

his car at the curb, intending

Power equipment is a tre-

likes to keep his yard neat with
a minimum of effort. But it tak-

the job safely. Even experience
is no substitute for concentre
