People who looked on fairly held their
breath Wednesday afternoou two small
boys climbed an electric wire pole on
Main slreet. The youngsters went almost

mean instant death to anyone. There
are 2.200 volts of electricity constantly
passing over these wires, and the small
boy who mistakes them for plavthings
will never liye to realize what struck !
him. This is the second caution to par
ents, published by request of parties who
have seen the poles scaled by the fool
hardy youths, and it is time something is
done to stop the antics, unless someone
has more boys than they care to "feed."
