<MED> KITE FLYING UNGER FROM ELECTRIC LINK. WARNING TO CHILDREN AND PARENTS THE Municipal Eelectricity Department finds ample evidence of how little is realised of the dangers of kite flying in the proximity of overhead electric lines. If parents and teachers would only realise the swiftness with which tragedy may come, there would be more warnings issued to children about flying kites in such surroundings Occasionally the Department’s staff receive a call to assist a child whose kite is entangled 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 flyers, 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 so much, a strong plea is made by the Department to parents and to schoolteachers to warn children against flying kites near overhead lines, and particularly to urge them to abandon any kites which becomes entangled with an overhead wire. A word of warning may mean nothing less then a life saved, and the precaution is surely worth taking. MUNICIPAL ELECTRICITY DEPARTMENT, CHRISTCHURCH. 8237
