Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-20

In the budget preparation proc
ess, there is a good deal of figure
juggling. Budgeteers will examine
the figure "X-billion dollars" and
ask themselves what it would buy
ir the way of national defense.
Then they will ask what X-plus-3
billion would buy. or X-minus-3
billion.
The Source Of Locks
This "trying-on-for- size" process
helps In the writing of a meaning
full budget, but it has one drawback,
according to Mr.. Lehrer. Out of
such exercises come leaks to the
presS-leakS such as the one that
predicted terroneously) a $48.5 bill
lion defense budget and another
that forecast equally incorrectly
drastic cuts"
1t was late october of last year
before the Pentagon had budget
anywhere near in shape. Then the
individual services checked their
subordinate commands, and gave
these commanders an idea of what
they would be getting in the COM
ing year. Then, toward the end of
october, Defense Department and
Budget Bureau officials held "hear-
ings" at which officials of the serv-
ices made their final cases for
budget estimates.
Final drafts of the Defense
budget were written during No
vember and early December, and
last minute policy questions were
taken up with the President and
the National Security Council. The
last work was done just in time to
get the budget to the printer.
Although almost a year of work
by thousands Of Defense Depart
ment officials has gone into this
budget, the document is far from
immutable. When hearings are
scheduled on the Hill two or three
months from now, some of the
answers may be different. What
happens in Suez might cause a
change in the contemplated num-
Der of Air Force flying hours: a
rise in prices Of commodities would
make difference in what could
be bought.
But basically the budget the
Pentagon has written in the last
year is something 1t will have to
live with for another year and q
half.

Mr.. Thomas invited the Governor
to see conservation practices at his
dairy farm near Marydel. Several
thousand Delaware farmers are CO.
operators in our District programs
to establish sound soil building
practices on our lands. We find that
showing pepole what can be done,
and reminding them of their re-
sponsibilities to future generations
is quite effective. And those farm
ers, who achieve top yields today,
are our best conservationists," he
added.
Soil Stewardship Week is one of
several methods of encouraging
conservation work. Speakers are
available for ILLUSTRATED talks to
organized groups. Literature and
specific information can be obtain
ed from the county agricultural
agents or the soil conservation
service.

Caution Needed In
Use Of Power Mowers
Continued from first page)


lawn mower injuries reported that
large number of disabling in
iuries to the feet from the blades
of power mowers and an eye wound
from a stone thrown by a rotary
mower.
Mrs. Cam said the physician ex-
pressed the opinion that the reel
type lawn mower is relatively safe
and that the rotary type is more
dangerous and is responsible for
the majority of injuries. The blades
of the rotary mower turn at aboat
1000 revolutions per minute and
are a potentially great propulsive
force as well as a direct cutting
force. Wounds resulting from acci-
dents with these mowers include
direct cutting wounds and wounds
from flying objects propelled by
contact with the whirling blades,
she noted.
The home safety chairman said
the author of the article is not op-
posed to the use of power lawn
mowers but thinks that they should
meet certain safety standards in
their manufacture, and should be
operated with caution.
Eleven simple suggestions for
power mower safety cited by Mrs.
1 Cam are:
1. Start safely. Stand firmly
Make sure your feet are in safe
place.
2. Keep in step with your mower
/ for perfect control. If you lag be-
hind or let it pull you, you won't
be in full command of the machine.
Don't run.
8. Learn how to disengage the
clutch or stop the motor quickly
in case of any emergency. Stop the
motor whenever you leave the
mower.
4. Keep the way clear of little
tots and pets. Don't let them play
around the mower while it is in
operation.
5. Always be sure of your foot
ing and balance when moving on
inclines. The sleeper the incline
the more care required.
6. Inspect the lawn that is to
be moved before the moving be-
gins. Clear the lawn of all stones,
wire and other debris.
z. When grass is wet or when it
is raining, it is best not to use an
electric power mower unless you
are certain the entire mower and
the cord are in perfect order.
8. Disconnect the spark plug
wire whenever you want to work
on the underside of a mower. Tip
mower over by means of the han
die Don't reach under the deck,
chain guards or belt guards of
any mower. Keep hands, feet and
clothing away from any moving
parts. Never attempt removal of
any objects from the mower until
motor has been completely stopped.
9. Keep fuel stored in an approv-
ed tightly sealed container.
10. Respect your power mower
and teach this respect to the
younger members OF the family
who use it. Teach them, too, these
simple safety suggestions.
IL. Excessive cutting blade speed
is dangerous-do not overspeed the
engine by tampering with the gov
ernOr.
Your power mower is a safe tool
if you follow these simple rules.
