Tips On Lifting DO NOT lift awkward or es pecially heavy materials by your self. Get someone to help. INSPECT the object you’re go ing to lift for sharp corners, nails and other things that might cause injury. LOOK over the ground or floor for obstacles and tripping hazards SET your feet solidly, somewhat apart. Sometimes it may be best to get down on one knee. CROUCH as close to the load as possible. Keep your back straight but bend at the hips so you are over the load. The object is to do the work with your leg muscles and not the weaker back muscles TO LIFT, straighten your legs and swing your back into a verti cal position. REMEMBER, _ Let your leg muscles do the WORK — ydtt WILL BE GLAD YOU DID' Towel Mill The Towel Mill 25-Year Club P'i held at the Fieldale Baseball Park urday afternoon, September 7, attrs a large attendance including a good i resentation from among the r®* members of the club.
