Show SHOOTING POWER INSULATORS With the hunting season opening at the close of this week it is brought to our attention that a great many hunters indulge in the questionable sport of shooting at insulators on power poles while they are out looking for deer or other game While it is possibly true that the shooting of a few insulators does not result in a a great financial loss to the power company it is however a much more serious serious serious seri seri- ous matter than that For example is is possible that thata a transmission line might be knocked out with power service being cut off at the local hospital in the midst of an operation causing serious delay and possible death of the patient A line may be knocked down into which some hunter might walk into and be electro electro- A child or woman accompanying the hunter may be the innocent victim of such a wire live that has been shot down by the hunter or the hunter himself himself himself him him- self may later walk valk into the wire vireo We sincerely trust that the hunters in this area this year will viII respect the property of others and if they have the desire to shoot at targets that they will viII pick those that cannot directly or indirectly cause the death or injury of some citizen of this state Hunting is a great eat sport and we ve hope along with the hunters themselves that they have great success in the sport this year but we do urge that the they use every care possible to aid in the preservation of life and property during the season this year |
