FIX ilyZXX Don't wait until your lawn needs mowing to roll the mower out of the garage and see if it is in shape to use. Any lawn mower, power or hand, needs a spring checkup. Doing it ahead of time will mean it is ready to use when you need it. It also is likelier to get through the summer without breaking down. Most people do not store their "towers properly i:. the fall. It you are like nearly everyone else your mower probably has a coating of dust and dirt and maybe even a little rust. Clean it thoroughly. Scrape away accumulated grass clippings. If there is any fuel in the tank from last year, drain it, Don't take any chances with it. Replace with fresh fuel. Power mowers have an air that should be cleaned regularly. Start the summer with a clean filter. Clean it out by rinsing it in kerosene or gasoline. Work in a well ventilated area and in a spot where there is no name or chance of sparks. Some mowers use an oil bath filter. Drain out the old oil and replace with fresh oil after first rinsing the parts. The filter element is generally soaked in clean oil and drained.

Peter MacDonald, chairman of the Navajo tribal council, said the legislation would set the two tribes against each other and that the Navajos and the 1 Hopis should be allowed to resolve their dispute over some 2 f million acres of land without outside interference. Testifying before the House Indian affairs subcommittee, MacDonald said a bill intended to avert possible bloodshed j between the tribes by dividing the land would force more than I 6,000 Navajos now living there on a "long walk" to nowhere. The Navajo leader said the administration-backebill introd duced by Rep. Sam Steiger, would be "punitive" legislation in which the Navajos like Jews "are singled out in Nazi Germany and are told to march go." The result, MacDonald said, would be that the two tribes would be further set against each other and not permitted to cross each other's lands. "This is madness. That is a declaration of war," the young tribal Ijader declared. "Because do you think for one moment once you have set this insane proposition in motion that any Hopi will get permission to cross over Navajo territory to get to the outside world?" The 6,000 Hopis live in 630,000 acres of a 2.5 million acre reservation created by President Chester A. Arthur in 1882 entirely within the vase Navajo reservation. federal court, A three-judg- e in a decision affirmed by the Supreme Court in 1963, has held that more than 1.8 million acres belongs equally to both the Navajos and the Hopis.

Adjust for proper height and then make sure the blade is sharp. A blade can be touched up with a file. If it goes dull quickly again, then it needs grinding. Since rotary blades are inexpensive, keep a spare on hand so that you always have a sharp blade to use. Reel type mowers get out of adjustment rather easily. Hold a sheet of newspaper between the reel and the knife blade. Turn the reel by hand. It should cut the paper along the full length of the rotary knife. Adjust the knife if it doesn't. There are adjusting nuts or serews to do this. If your reel mower seen dull it may only, need adjusting. If proper adjusting doesn't help then get the blades sharpened professionally. Oil and grease your mower before using it. Go over all the oiling points. Use grease on the axle. Coat wheel gears with grease. Bearings should be foiled. Grease and oil from last year that has should be picked up cleaned with a solvent. Lubricate these points over again. Tighten all nuts and bolts.

Assistant Interior Secretary Harrison Loesch, in testifying bill to of the lands, conceded the interior not been able to live up to its to protect the responsibility Hopis' right to use the joint lands. MacDonald, accompanied by other tribal officials and two white attorneys, told the committee that the Indians did not believe in lines drawn upon maps and that there was no word for "trespass" in the languages of either the Navajos or the Hopis. "You draw lines upon a piece of paper and divide the earth while the divisions we recognize are those of the land itself the line of mounof nature tain and mesa, of river, and valley, canyon and plain. "We are still a people of the land; our land is our mother, the sky our father," MacDonald said. While some of the Navajos appearing with MacDonald were garbed in traditional dress, MacDonald appeared in gray flannel slacks, a navy blue blazer with brass buttons, buttonin shirt and striped -down tie. He wore horn- rimmed glasses and his short wavy black hair was neatly parted on one side. MacDonald's testimony followed that of the Navajos' general counsel, George Vlassis, and Richard Schifter, Washington attorney who represents them in the national capital. In arguing against the bill calling for partitioning of the land, Schifter argued that the Supreme Court had been wrong in holding that the Hopis still had interest in the land a occupied by the Navajos. Steiger told Echifter that he thought the lawyer was doing his clients "a diff .n ice" with the argument, saving "this is the law, like it or not." Schifter also suggested that, instead of paying the Navajos to leave the disputed lands, the Hopis be paid for their claims to the land. Vlassis also suggasted that compensation for the Hopis be considered before acting on what he termed "a piece rf but legislation." one-ha- lf ' |
