ment of Meacham Field and also
outlined the proposed new rate
structure.

Under the set up that went into
effect Jan. /, 1854, the county
charged the airlines so cents for
each passenger who landed and
took off, plus rent for space used
at the field by the lines offices.
Wilde based his figures on the
number of passengers handled here
by NAL in the last quarter of 1858.
which showed an average of 7.2
passenger per landing and take
off.
Figured on the basis of 7.2 pas
sengerS, Wilde said the NAL would
have paid $2,214 for the quarter.
Under the proposed rate, based
on 40 cents for each 1000 pounds
of plane weight, the line would
have paid $1,99S for that quarter.
Hardy asked Wilde to send him
a memo of understanding, outlin-
ing the proposed rate structure and
the proposed improvement at the
field.

Precautions Can Curb
Losses From Lightning

Life and property losses from
lightning, major cause Of farm
fires, can be reduced through TAX
ing proper precautions, states
County Agent George Vapaa. He re-
ports that each year in the United
States lightning takes the lives Of
nearly 500 people and Injuries lSOV
others and destroys about $40 mill
lion worth of property.
Farm and rural districts suffer
80 per cent OF the damage done Dy
lightning.
See that the principal buildings
are protected by an approved
lightning rod system. Mr.. Vapaa
advises. Check the ground conduc-
tors frequently. Be sure they are
deep enough to be in contact with
moist earth continuously, and that
cables from buildings are tightly
connected with the ground rods.
When an electrical storm ap-
/ prOaches, certain precautions are
recommended to insure safety. Do
not go out of doors or remain out
during thunderstorms unless It is
necessary. If there is any choice
Of shelter to enter, choose shelter
Il in the following order:
1. Large metal frame dwelling
/ 2. Dwelling or other building
which is protected against
lightning.
3. Large unprotected building.
4. Small unprotected building.
The county agent adds: "If you
are unavoidably out Of doors, keeT
away from isolated trees, wire
/ fences, hilltops and wide open spac-
es, and small sheds and shelters in
an exposed location.
