Lord, Director of the Madison County Health Depart ment,, offered tips today on how to lower the number of injureis these machines inflict on adults and children. Both power and hand-driven mowers are not com pletely safe in use because they can cut most things they touch be sides grass, Dr. Lord said. The U. S. Department of Agri culture reports that 75,000 power mower accidents occur each year. More than half the injuries are to the feet and hands. About one third involves different parts of the body where stones or pieces of metal are thrown by the mow er blades. These missiles can have the impact of a .22-calibre bullet Last year, many accidents involv ing lawn mowers happened in this area alone. Since most injuries are due to Ttarelessness or error on the part of persons . using mowers, Dr. Lord advises these precautions: 1. Remove stones, sticks and I other objects from the lawn. f Organization Candidate Uin Smashing Uiciory, Led Ticket Sheriff Ponder Leads Slate; Complaints a Filed ; Issues Cited 2.
