Getting snagged on the wire in his effort to climb over a Hydro barrier . probably to recover a ball- .. , may have saved his life. Some boys have not been so lucky. Hydro energy is one of the finest things we have in Ontario to make for better living. But it can stop one from living, if you .thoughtlessly give it a chance to flash through your body. Every possible precaution for safety is taken by your Hydro; but once in a while someone gets careless or "takes a chance", and tragedy strikes. A boy climbs a pole and touches a wire. Or he flies his kite near a Hydro line, and if contacts a high-voltage circuit and carries death or injury to whoever is holding it. Sometimes a storm breaks down a line and some- one takes „hold -of the broken live- wire with disastrous results. These are just examples of acts that are beyond the power of Hydro to prevent. Your Hydro can only warn of danger, and seek co-operation of parents and teachers and all who have influence with those who might expose themselves to that danger. Hydro need never be a threat to anyone who: 1. Will not climb poles. 2. Will stay away from distribution lines and transformer stations: 3. Will keep away from fallen wires. For your safety, in case of trouble immediately notify your nearest Hydro office. But never, never touch: a fallen wire; HYDRO -ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO
