safety should always uppe t m 'their minds, But as,
we all know, that is often not the case. As adults it is up
to us to remind Our 'children , to `.play safe and though

Hydro on the ,move - Engineers
were at work in Lucknow the past
week running lines and staking out
places for the erection of poles to
carry the Hydro wires. The work
on this system appears to be being
pushed rapidly. Already the pole
line has extended on this side of
Walkerton, and a gang is at work
on the branch from the Durham
Road to Teeswater. They are erec-
ting poles at the rate of a mile per
day, so that it will not be many
weeks before they are operating in
this part. Intending users of current
will make no mistake in having
their wiring done, Otherwise there
may be an unpleasant rush in the
early fall.
