sit still and await rescue this is the advice nj wills mac- lachlan of the electrical employ ers association of ontario and one of canadas top authorities on tcsuseitation he was commenting on the death recently of a 25yearold truck driver who was electrocuted near orillia ont when he climbed out of his truck after thevehiele skid- ded hit a hydro pole and brought live wires tumbling down on it electrocution of motorists 4y fal len overhead live wires while not an everyduy occurrence could be eliminated almost entirely if motorists who suddenly find their ears entangled in live wires wmrfd sit still and await rescue rather than try to leave their vehlcle sni3mrt mnclachlnn if no onels about n motorist should blow his car horn or yell to attract attention anyone who ap proaches should be warned of the danger and asked to summon help by reporting to the nearest fire de partment or police official mr muelochlan points out that car bodies are all metal when a live wire falls on a car the metal becomes charged at the same volt age as the wire the rubber tires act as insulation and prevent the charge from being grounded thus when a person steps otit of a charg ed car his body provides a path to ground for the current as soon as one foot touches the earth or pave ment if a motorist finds himself in an isolated- spot with the chances of immediate discovery and rescue slim he can escape by jumping from the car this isnt recom mended procedure for the average person howev mr mactachlan emphasizes it is much safer for car occupants to wait for a rescue party bi1t0n perry limited
