Show Spring Winds Spell Danger For Kite Pilots When spring winds give junior jun-ior the urge to turn kite-pilot, make sure he enjoys his fun in safety. "Flying kites m a stiff March wind is great sport, but it can be dangerous, too, unless proper precautions are taken," says J. R. Jarvis, Salt Lake division superintendent of Utah Power & Light Co. "For your own safety, and for the safety of others, observe these rules:" 1. Fly kites in plenty of open space, and never fly kites near electric wires and poles. 2. Don't use metal or wire of any kind on kites. 3. Use only dry cotton string. Never fly your kite with wet string. Water is one of the best conductors of electricity. 4. Never climb poles to recover re-cover kites. Never try to release re-lease entangled kites by throwing throw-ing stones at them. 5. Never run across streets to get kites into the air. 6. Report kites caught in wires and poles to your nearest power company office. |
