FLYING kites in the March winds
is a wonderful sport for the chill
dren, and a safe one as long as
they are taught to observe a few
important rules. Rule one is that
kite flying and electric wires don't
mix. Be sure that your children
fly their kites in open fields, where
there are no overhead wires. Tell
them to avoid runnir across roads
or streets while kite flying. There
may be electric wires, as well as
speeding automobiles. Impress up
on them, too, that if they do get a
kite caught in an electric wire
they must not try to get it, either
by pulling it down, reaching for
it with sticks, throwing stones to
disIodge it, or climbing electric
poles. Be sure too, that the kite
has no metal in it's frame, that the
string has no wire or tinsel in it,
and that they keep kite string dry,
since wet string will conduct cleo
trieity. Following these simple
rules will make kite flying safe,
and prevent accidents,
