Show Page Six The Springville Herald Sept 10, 1970 1 STYLISH KNIT -PICKING Double knit cotton provides two fashionable ways to keep your knits about you comfortably comforta-bly this fall. Ideal' for classroom or office wear is the long-sleeved long-sleeved dirndl dress with body-hugging shirt top and wide side belts that tie in back. At right, a chevron-patterned pantsuit with long fitted tunic jacket and flare pants with fly front. Both designed by Wayne Rogers for No Comment. Al" of this talk about inflation, infla-tion, gross national product, pollution, and dropping hemlines hem-lines is enough to make a woman get hooked on soap operas. They're ideal, I've found, for getting away from your own problems by escaping into some one else's ... especially when other people's problems involve such simple matters as ' John's other wife's son eloping with her current husband's daughter by his first marriage and using John's present wife's second car to elope in. My husband doesn't exactly see eye to eye with me on this ' "escape" routines'. He's a firm believer in facing ' problems squarely with a cool head . unless it's some domestic crisis like that one glass of milk that keeps getting overturned at every family meal. Things like that really make the old boy lose his cool, but I kind of enjoy en-joy them 'cause it's the one time I turn into a model of efficiency. ef-ficiency. (Unfortunately, the image lasts only as long as it takes me to wipe up the spill ... so lately I've toyed with the idea of adding a little dance routine to my mopping-up mopping-up chores to prolong the image a few minutes more.) Anyway, the other night we had one of those serious husband-to-wife talks after the kids were in bed and the pillow-fights had dropped off to a normal boys-will-be-boys level. Seems that he had been thinking seriously about inflation, infla-tion, gross national product, etc., and decided we should contribute to their solution by starting in our own home. For one wild moment, I thought he was about to suggest sug-gest that I go on a diet to combat com-bat my own personal inflation and slim down from a gross local product. But then he started talking about all of the garbage we have at our house . . . disposable soft drink bottles, plastic milk cartons, paper towels, etc. I was about to remind him it's his dear little wife who has to empty the garbage every night, but the caution light was clearly on. If the average family, he said, would refuse to buy "dis-, "dis-, posable" items and demand reuseable or returnable containers, con-tainers, it would do more to reduce . pollution than elimi nating all the factory smoke stacks in America. Before I could think that one out, he started talking about all the money we could save, too. Turned out we could save $30 a year just by buying a few kitchen cotton towels, washing them with our regular laundry, and using them over and over again. What's more, he continued, buying soft drinks in returnable bottles would not only save money but reduce our garbage by about 600 bottles a year. (We're our own drinking uncles.) My husband apparently didn't realize he had also of- fered me a solution to the hemline problem. With the savings we'll have by disposing of disposables in our grocery shopping, I just might be able to buv me a new midi this fall. r HEALTH & SAFETY- Mainly for Mothers Power lawn mowers no toys where children are concerned Cutting the grass on the family lawn, once a laborious chore for the man of the house, has been made faster, easier and more efficient by the introduction of the power mower. Unfortunately, the power lawn mower can also be a dangerous weapon and last year injured 140,000 people, an increase of 40 percent over 1968. The power mower may well be the greatest thing to come along since grass, but it is also one of the most dangerous since it often is in the hands of amateurs, women and children. Children, in particular, are too often the victims vic-tims of lawn mower accidents. The Council On Family Health, sponsored by the manufacturers of medicines as a public service, cautions parents to be watchful of young children when using power mowers during the summer sum-mer months of fertile lawns. A study of pediatricians at the Ohio State University College Col-lege of Medicine reported that most lawn mower injuries to young- children occurred under three circumstances: when the children, ranging in age from two to twelve years, were bystanders, when they were operating the machines, or when they were passengers pas-sengers on the mowers. All three types of accidents could have been prevented if children under 13 had not been allowed to use these machines, if parents had not held children on their laps and if bystanders had been kept a safe distance away. Some additional advice to parents par-ents using power mowers is: -Never adjust or repair the ma- . chine while the motor is run- ning. 'i -Trytotho: Try to thoroughly rake the lawn clear of stones, twigs or toys before cutting. When using rotary mower in tall grass or weeds, slow the engine en-gine speed to prevent damage to cutter blades. Periodically, clean and inspect mower parts to make sure nuts and bolts are tight. Age is a very definite factor in lawn mower injuries, as the Ohio State study indicated. The Council Coun-cil On Family Health reminds all parents to remember that children chil-dren are simply not mature enough t be given the responsibility responsi-bility of operating power mowers.
