Sta John's Reformed Church Leonard Campanaro, 24, an em¬ ploye in the stone storage and urinding section of plant 4, Penn- Dixie Cement Corporation, Nazarelh, was injured in an accident at that plant Wednesday afternoon. While engaged In his duties, his left hand and arm became caught in a broad belt leading to an Idler pulley and his scream brought fellow workmen to his aid. One of the men had the presence ot mind to shout to the switchboard operator to Immediately shut OfT all power and this prompt action saved him from being drawn into the main motor shaft and !;i'ouiid to pulp. Ho had thrown his right arm around an adjoining pillar and al¬ though this saved him temporarily, it would have been a matter of only a few minutes until the loss of blood j would have caused him to release liis hold. Members of tho first nid team placed him on a stretcher until Dr. Ernest A. N Seyfried arrived and dressed his injuries. The doctor ordered his removal to the Easton Hospital and on arriving there he was treated in tho receiving ward and an x-ray examination was mado to determine the full extent of his injuries. Ho was then removed to his home in Nazareth. A ha.sty examination bv the phy¬ sician revealed a probably broken wrist and fracture of the shoulder blade. His left arm wns badly lacerated.

Sta John's Reformed Church Leonard Campanaro, 24, an em¬ ploye in the stone storage and urinding section of plant 4, Penn- Dixie Cement Corporation, Nazarelh, was injured in an accident at that plant Wednesday afternoon. While engaged In his duties, his left hand and arm became caught in a broad belt leading to an Idler pulley and his scream brought fellow workmen to his aid. One of the men had the presence ot mind to shout to the switchboard operator to Immediately shut OfT all power and this prompt action saved him from being drawn into the main motor shaft and !;i'ouiid to pulp. Ho had thrown his right arm around an adjoining pillar and al¬ though this saved him temporarily, it would have been a matter of only a few minutes until the loss of blood j would have caused him to release liis hold. Members of tho first nid team placed him on a stretcher until Dr. Ernest A. N Seyfried arrived and dressed his injuries. The doctor ordered his removal to the Easton Hospital and on arriving there he was treated in tho receiving ward and an x-ray examination was mado to determine the full extent of his injuries. Ho was then removed to his home in Nazareth. A ha.sty examination bv the phy¬ sician revealed a probably broken wrist and fracture of the shoulder blade. His left arm wns badly lacerated.
