If Used Right The power lawn mower hadn't actually come Into vogue In 1944, so an accident Involving one was unusual enough to make the news. One of the first power mower accidents of record Involved an Army private who came home late in World War II to recuper ate from wounds received in three invasions and was wounded by a spoon! The spoon, hurled by a power lawn mower in his front lawn, penetrated the soldier's leg and had to be removed by an opera tion. Since then Dower lawn mow ers have increased in popularity. The number of mower mishaps has increased in direct propor tion. While no national figures are available on the power mower accident problem, the National Safety Council said a study, in Georgia showed that: 1. One injury in seven results In some permanent disability, 2. Toes and feet are most olt en injured. 3. Seven out of 10 persons in jured in mower mishaps come n direct contact w,lth the mower. The other three are hurt by ob jects thrown by the mOwer. While the first power mower mishap may have been unusual enough to be news, such acci dents today are anything out-of the ordinary. In fact, almost every day news papers carry accounts of mower accidents among them such serious ones as these: A Florida woman was killed by a blade that sailed 50 feet from a power mower unci through a winow pane before striking her. A little girl was killed when her jugular vein was severed by a piece of metal hurled by a power mower. But, according to the Nation al Safety Council, power Liwn mowers are no more danger ous than any other gadget used around the yard if a few .basic rules are observed. For exam ple: 1. Unless you have good arti ficial light, mow only during daylight. 2. Don't use an electric mower when the grass is wet and .slip pery. 3. Never allow youngsters or pets near a power mower. Nor should youngsters be allowed to operate one. 4. When starting the engine, stand with your feet planted in a safe spot. Always be sure of your footing and balance espec ially when mowing on an incline. On hills and banks, cut side ways, not up and down. 5. Don't refuel the mov.cr while it's running or still hot from use. Always refuel out of doors. Don't forget, either, to store the gasoline in an approv ed container. 6. Shut off the mower before moving it from one( level to an other, or when you want to work on its underside. Never while it's running. 7. Make sure the area to be mowed is free of sticks, stones, wire and other obstacles. 8. Know how to disengage the clutch and stop the engine quick ly. "Power lawn mowers are . great time-saver as any man of the house will tell you," the Council says. "But they brought with them new hazards users aren't fully equipped to guard against. "Only if manufacturers and users cooperate can power lawn mower accidents be prevented." 7;7:i::" Moat & Produce prices good thru Saturday, July 12th. Grocery prices good thru Thursday, July 17th.

Nebraskans Bag 700,000 Ducks Nebraska's terrific waterfowl hunting, chiefly in the Sand Hills lakes, Platte and Missouri River systems, rain-water bas ins, and farm ponds, is reflect ed in last year's computed kill of 700,000 ducks. This total is based on an extensive harvest survey just completed by the Game Commission. "Of particular interest," said Lloyd P. Vance, game-division chief, "is the big harvest dur ing the early days of the sea son. Approximately 138,000 ducks were bagged during the first 10 days of the hunt, 106,000 the second 10. and 120,000 the third 10. The number killed decreas ed each succeeding 10 days of the 75-day-long season." Breakdown of the duck kill: 365,000 mallards; 110.000 blue winged teal; 80.000 pintails; 10, 000 each of gadwall and spoon bills; 5.000 each of wicipeon, ean vasback, redheads, and blue bills. I Last year's hunters also har i vested 12.500 geese 1 5.500 Cana i das, 5.000 blues and snows, and remainder white-fronts), 12,750 and 250 snipe. t.iX: -if.-. ' remaH tuniiikVf. 1 coot, i
