KITE FLYING, a popular youth
full sport at this time of year. may
be a hazardous occupation. the
Central Power and Light company
warns.
Bows are warned not TO attempt
20 remove kites from the power
lines after they have become en-
tangled. They also are warned
against using metallic string OF the
kind used in tying Christmas
packages.

current and officials fear some
boy efforts TO rescue a kite may
result IN a death.
No grown-up who has any mem

deprive the present-day youth of
the 10y of this kind Of outdoor
sport, but the warning Is not amiss.
