rui>LlC KITE FLYING. DANGER FROM ELECTRIC UNES. WARNING TO CHILDREN AND PARENTS THE Municipal Electricity Department finds ample evidence of how little is realised of the dangers of kite flying in the proximity of overhead electric Tines. If parents and teachers would only realise the swiftness with which tragedy mi v come, there would be mo.e warnings issued to childre t about flying kites in such sui - roundings. Occasionally the Departm-nt'. staff receive a call to assist a child whose kite is euta gied in the bare conductors of an 11.000-volt overhead line. Pulling at the tangled string will gradually draw together the wires of the high-tension circuit. Low-tension lines also have a very definite danger for kite dyers, and the only safe course is to avoid entirely all types of overhead electric lines A wet kite string In contact with a live line may have very serious results for the child holding the lower end When the risk Is so real, and a word of warning may mean -o much, a strong plea is made by the Department to parents ind to schoolteachers to warn ■hildren against flying kites near overhead lines, and particularly 'o urge them to abandon any kite which becomes entangled with an overhead wire A word of warning may mean nothing less than a life savjd, and th* orecaution te surely worth taking.
