NO SERIOUS MISHAP
TWELVE YEARS’ RECORD HANDLING SULPHURIC ACID All testing officers employed by the Auckland Herd Improvement Association were warned to exercise , extreme care in the handling of sul[phuric acid, and over the past 12 i years there had not been one serious i mishap. This statement was made today by Mr S. J. Sheaf, general manager of the association, when referring to an accident which took place in Palmerston North recently, when two women herd testers received bums as a result of their car capsizing. Mr Sheaf added that there had been one or two cases of minor sulphuric acid burns, but it could be said that throughout the Dominion such accidents were few and far between. It might be assumed from the report of the Palmerston North accident that accidents of this nature were fairly common, but the experience of the Auckland Herd Improvement Association had proved that this was definitely not the case.
