Don't cheat your wife Many husbands do it without trying. # They work a lifetime to build an estate, but don't make plans for their estate after they're gone. So you enctup leaving more to the tax man and less to your family. But some basic estate planning may change all that. For example: you can leave nearly half your estate to your wife free of federal estate taxes--no matter how big it is. It takes experts to plan your estate. So talk to your attorney.

But the fact is that power lawn mowers are becoming more and more popular. In 1963, there were an estimated 22 million of them in use in the United States. Now this figure has more than doubled to in excess of 45 million! Un­ fortunately, the number of injuries from power mowers seems to grow in direct »proportion to the number of machines in use. The greatest percentage of power mower injuries is at­ tributed to the rotary mowers. Health experts estimate that, each year, between 60,000 and 80,000 Americans are injured in power ^ mower accidents seriously enough to require hospital emergency room care. These injuries include cuts, punctures, fractures, am­ putations, loss of sight and other permanent disabilities. Nearly 70 percent of mower injuries are caused by direct contact with the mower Made. The remaining 30 percent are caused by foreign objects thrown by the machine, usually by the blade, such as nails, rocks, wires, metal and glass. The blade tips of a power mower move at more than 200 miles an hour, and can hurl projectiles at speeds in excess of 33 feet per second, which approaches the speed of a bullet. Manufacturers have been making a considerable effort, through design and engineering features, to make the mowers as safe as possible without reducing their cutting per­ formance. But it is up to those of us who use the mowers to learn how to do so safely. Too many injuries occur through carelessness and simple misuse or abuse of the equip­ ment. The Illinois Department of Public Health has some recommendations that may help reduce your chances of suffering a power mower in­ jury. First, become completely familiar with your power mower by reading the operator's manual from cover to cover before starting the machine. Learn where all the controls are located and how to operate them. Proper main­ tenance of your mower is very important. Check the machine out'completely before you do any mowing, especially the fuel. Gassing up a hot, or running engine can cause serious explosions. Secondly, police the area to be cut thoroughly, making sure there are no objects lying around that can be thrown out by the blades. The tiniest items, such as pieces of wire, can be lethal. Keep children and pets away from the area to be mowed. When you are ready to begin mowing, keep your feet clear of the mower at all times while starting it up and operating it. Be sure the motor does not tip or roll during the starting operation. Never unclog the discharge chute when the motor is running. This is one of the most common causes of serious mower accidents. Also, be sure of your footing and balance while mowing on grades or inclines. Mow steep slopes sideways. Mowing a steep slope up and down can invite trouble...you can slip down on to the mower, or the mower can slide down on to you. Remember that mowers are designed to be pushed, not pulled. Many injuries have been caused when someone inadvertently pulled the lawn mower over his foot. Wear sturdy shoes while mowing, and never leave the engine unattended while it's running. Remember, too, that mowing a lawn can be a tedious task. Be well rested and alert when tackling the job, and do not over exert yourself. Fatigue has been a contributing factor in many power mower ac­ cidents. If you want more information concerning power mower safety, contact your local health department, or write to Illinois Department of Public Health, Consumer Product Safety, 535 West Jefferson, Springfield, II., 62761.
