The Wingham Advance-Times, 1951-05-30, Page 10ar 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.

And to conic across a bearded son of Turnberry whose red badge bore the word "Dir- ector" was to be inspired with rever- ential awe, I was greatly interested. 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 Lueknow.---littie fellows ;-u s e d to straddle the sheep in the water and have great fun.; and if expected home 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 a MORE MAN POWER NEEDED TO FIGHT FIRES IN NoRrHERN ONTARIO • vainly calling Wan.
