Mother purpose of the pro-
etatl i aside from warning people
of the dangers of electricity, will
be clearing up popular miscon-
ceptions and informing the public
of the results of electrical con-
tact.
Mr. Pudden noted some of the
features of electricity, "Many
people do not realize that the ten-
dency for electricity is to get to
Sometimes when we go to investi-
gote an accident we can't tell by
the outside appearance that the
Person has been electrocuted.
Qnce we look inside however it's
not hard to tell."
Ontario Hydro and the Ontario
'Provincial Police also want to
""stress that everyone should take
the time,,, to make sure their
equipment is right for the job
they are doing," said Mr. Pud-
den., "We want them to realize
that it is not worth the risk and
that they should not depend upon
anything. Often a driver in a car
will assume that the wires he has
just knocked down are dead and
will risk jumping out. Un-
fortunately many times that risk
can be deadly."
Cooperation between Ontario
Hydro and Ontario Provincial
Police has been commendable
during recent years particularly
in accident prevention attempts.
Mr. Pudden offered his own ap-
predation. " we` ;all work

accidents, things 1 mat.
The police are doing asplendid
job in the province and in specific
areas. They°. should keen, -u the

will know what we are doing and
all people will know 'precaution
