Play 1t Safe

Stay away from electric wires
bathing suit warns George NJ.
Nelson, vice president of Delaware
Power and Light Company. Water
Is an excellent conductor of cleo
tricity and electric current can
shoot through il in fash.
With your youngsters be very
specific about the dangers of mix
ing water and electricity Probably
the wise move is to train them not
to touch anything electrical If they
are wet or wearing wet clothes.
Today's electric appliances are
designed with safety first in mind
but we must be ever mindful Of the
nature of the current which oper-
ates them. We must be particular
to repair wires with worn insula-
tion-to replace frayed extension
cords. They can lead TO dangerous
situations
Fallen electric wires are dang
erous." continued Mr.. Nelson.
Stay away from them: they may
be alive and can DE deadly ii hand
led. Ii you see a fallen wire, call
the electric company as quickly as
possible and tell them where ii is.
Don't be tempted to touch 1T your
self. Neither should you touch
metal fence, automobile or TV an
tenna which is in contact with a
fallen wire. 1t can be dangerous"
Electricity is the servant of ev-
erybody In this era, and like any
good servant, should be treated
with respect. With safe and prop
er wiring It will work for you day
and night through all sorts of cleo
tric appliances.
