Breaking insulators on Hydro poles, or shattering street lights, is an even more costly pastime that an astonishing number of boys and men fail to curb. An insulator or street light sits up so invitingly . and, to the uninformed seems, such a small and insignificant piece of equip- ment that it presents a tempting target. Few people would break insulators or street lights if they, understood the damage that can result. • A broken insulator can cause a short circuit and cut the service on a line. The homes; the factory, the hospital or the stores depend- ing on that line are cut off from power until the insulator can be replaced. Housewives are inconvenienced. Factories can be stopped with, possible,pay losses to the workers. Human lives can be endangered; especially in a hospital. Broken street lights imperil both foot and vehicle traffic, and create an invitation to crime. To repair damaged insulators and replace broken street lights requires men, trucks and possibly miles of travel. it all adds up to a big price for a target . . and Hydra consumers pay that price. Please use your influence at every opportunity to prevent the deliberate or careless destruction of public property. DON'T BREAK . STREET LAMPS DON1 LoAMAGE INSULATORS Amainnionnom.
