Show Use electricity with judgement Electricity is one of the safest saf-est tools used by modern man but, like all implements, it must be understood and used intelligently. Fixtures and wiring wir-ing devices now being produced are virtually fool-proof in installation in-stallation and use, if only a few simple rules are remembered remem-bered and followed. But older wiring and gadgets may be potentially dangerous. If you get slight shocks, usually from touching grounded metal ob- jects such as switches or outlets, out-lets, better ask the service de- ; partment of the power com pany to bring their simple device de-vice to check the circuit. If re-wiring or new switches and sockets are needed, it is cheaper cheap-er to "do-it-yourself," but you may not live so long: Better call a licensed electrician. Television is a truly remarkable re-markable invention. The same set that puts you and your wife to sleep keeps the neighbors neigh-bors awake. Harold Coffin. |
