The "Conservative leader was given a very enthusiastic. reception by, the two thousand people or more who at- tended the gathering, the most sue,° cessful of its :kind ever -held in: this part,of the Dominion.. A -unique fed tore was the presence of members of the Party from the Province of Que- bec, whose characteristic vi`v'acity helped to enliven the `proceedings. In his address Mr. Meighan dealt with National questions, handling them in his usual', straightforward, outspoken manner. He was listened to with rapt attention and• during the :evening was acclaimed as the coming Premier. ° Other • speakers were: Hon. Ilugh Guthrie, Hon; 3, S. 'Martin, Hon; - L. G. Belley, Hon R.

Supt. Chant ' gives it as his- opinion that: there was some de- fect in the heater. "'But," he added, "it would 'take an expert probably, to detect that defect, so it behooves ev- eryone to the very careful when hand- . - Iing electricity. It is' especially web to bd,sareful when standing in water or with wet hands." " The following warnings were print- ed, by the Hydro Commission when Hydro ' was first introduced. It nriglrt be well to repeat thein in or- der that people may take necessary precautions: The fact that water is one of the best conductors:' of electricity makes it particularly dangerous to touch an. electric ;switch.or any appliance' while standing in a bath or while standing on wet: ground with bare feet, Manypeople are of. the impression that 110,220 or even 550 volts. are quite harmless. This is not the 01800, officials declare. From an issue of the, "Live Wire" published in 1921,.the following "tlou't" have been extracted: "peep the hands and ,feet , away from '"any grounded objects when touching anything electrical`." "Don't stand 111 5 bath tub and touch any part of aln..electrical s device, Don't use an:, electrical vibrator while. in the bath tans' ,"The turning on of a,water taTh n'as stove, or rata accrr na y br nt; ' re- ;,tilts 11 . the p555'crr.
