n't touch t
all
Despite all of Hydro's careful precautions, there are times when storms
or unavoidable accidents cause electric wires to break down. When that
happens, don't touch that fallen wire 1 Your very life may be at stake.
Keep curious children--and adults—away at all costs. Shock, severe burns
and worse can result from touching such a wire.
If you discover an electric wire on the ground or hanging dangerously
low, remember these three things:
I. Don't, under any circumstances, touch the wire.
2. Stay on guard and keep everyone away until help arrives.
3, Have someone notify the police and the nearest Hydro office at once.
Nothing has been overlooked to give you the best possible electrical
service, But, should trouble occur, your co-operation in being careful and
warning others may prevent injury or even loss of life.

in seeing sheep judged, Here aga i n,
part of the John Dinsley methpd
seemed to prevail; as the sheep-
owners holding the innocent animal
by the neck, first with the right hand
and then with the left, fluffed up the
wool with the idle hand to make the
sheep appear larger than it was.
There was much activity along this
line as the judge was approaching
How true the Scriptures are, "Man
looketh on the outward appearance,"
and even in profane history we find
that Pliny said "It is natural pro-
pensity of man to falsify." The judge
arrives, looks critically at the quad-
ruped and the hopeful herdsman dares
one more fluff-up as the sheep says
"Hal" The judge feels strongly with
his powerful grasp of the hand, to
make sure that living mutton is actu-
ally back of the wool and then holds
mumbied conference with his fel-
low judge. To eye sharply the judges,
it wou1,1 appear that laughing Jack
preferred number five, while laugh-
ing Jim liked number six, in which
case a r, d ticket was tied to the neck
of number three.
Thinking of sheep reminds me of
sheep-shearing, which was a very in-
teresting outdoor sport. Boys around

for dinner sharply at twelve they
were there on the tick. I mentioned
my brother once or twice hi articles
and I cannot refrain from telling here
a joint incident in our illustrious lives
in the long ago, Among John's multi-
farious equipment for the prosecuting
of his various undertakings was a pair
of sheep-shears. One fine day in early
summer I was commissioned to be
his helper at this art of clipping
sheep. It took place in a field in
Lower Town to the left of Cameron's
corner. The field was grassy but quite
uneven and contained a considerable
number of small shrubs, but few
trees. As I remember the occasion
there was but one victim to come
under the spell of the springy shears
on that warm summer afternoon, We
!got the sheep down on its side and
it was my unvaried duty to keep its
neck to the ground while John clipped
and clipped away: It was the first
!"necking" I had ever done, and too
' much cannot be expected of an am-
ateur. John as in horse-racing was
going a fast clip. The sheep was irrit-
able as a teething baby and panting
like a horse after a heat. We were
both bending over it like lovers
looking for a fish off a bridge. By this
time the fleece was almost half off
and, as in a barber's chair, a shift was
necessary to accommodate the clip-
per, so the sheep had to be shifted
to get at the other side. Without
warning, she sprang from ray feeble
