Kites, Power Lines Don t Mix
Warns Pacific Power and Light
Brisk winds and kite flyers
are among the first harbing­
ers of spring in this area,
and also a source of concern
for Pacific Power & Light
Company when the kite fly­
ers disregard the basic safe­
ty rules of their popular pas­
time.
The power company this
week repeated its annual safe­
ty warning about the hazards
of flying kites near electric
power lines, and emphasized
important reminders for the
spring kite season.
Parents should carefully
check the type of string and
kite to be flown by their
youngsters, and caution them
against using metallic string
or thread for kite string.
The company said two re­
cent “near misses” in Oregon
— both potential tragedies—
involved the use of metallic
crochet thread for kite string.
The thread had a strong ny­
lon core and an outer cover-
ing of spun metal, and was a
perfect conductor of electri-
cty.
Here are the basic safety
rules for kite flying:
Never fly kites in wet wea­
ther, because even damp
string can conduct electricty;
Always fly kites away from
power lines and TV and radio
aerials; Never use metal wire
or string with metallic
strands; Avoid kite frames
with metal bracings or metal­
lic tails, and Always avoid
busy streets and highways
while flying kites.
Parents are urged to cau­
tion youngsters to stay in
open fields and away from
power lines. If a kite or string
becomes entangled in a pow­
er line, call Pacific Power.
Do not touch the string and
never attempt to climb a pow­
er pole or tree near the line
to free the kite.
Colorful “Reddy Kilowatt”
posters for schools and store
windows, illustrating the kite

nation. It will be greater than the combined populations of
Alaska, Delaware, Nevada, Vermont and Wyoming—plus a-

The federal government, according to the Budget mes­
sage, will pay $42.55 billion to 6,502,695 persons on the govern­
ment payroll during the next fiscal year.
The major share of the payroll, $25 billion, will go to an
estimated 24) million civilian employees (approximately 170,-
000 more than last November). The 3.5 million in uniform
will receive an estimated $17.5 billion.
If you remember, not too long ago, President Johnson
said he was cutting down on government employees. This is
Just a sample of how much faith we can place in the man
who is at the head of our government, leading us where?
You don’t have to be too smart io figure it out. If we leave
him in office, we certainly are headed for bankruptcy, and
all we’ve done since the inception of our great Republic will
have been lost.
Few if any government employees are losing their jobs
as a result of the spending cuts ordered by Congress and
the Administration. In fact, when questioned about retrench­
ments, an Administration spokesman said, “We are abiding
by the guidelines, principally by attrition.’’
It seems to us that the federal government could attain
a higher level of efficiency with fewer people, and at the
same time free additional capital for Job creation in private
enterprise.
