A device protecting this portion of the line auto-, matically shut off theN circuit. The property owner wascj cultivating corn, working his way slowly toward the fallen wire. Not wishing to drive over it and perhaps damage it, he dismounted from his cultivator, picked up the end of the wire, carefully rolled it up and hung it over a fence post near a power pole to which it was attache^ He had no more than turned it loose and stepped away when this coil of wire suddenly became "alive" and arced and burned its way through all the strands of the woven wire fence. J Now let's go back and see what happened: Our farmer -friend wasn't the only one Who had an interest in that fallen wire. The local power company had been notified that service in the area had been interrupted and promptly dispatched a repairman to investigate. | Unaware of the actions of each other: The farmer stopped his tractor at almost the same time the repair truck drew up some distance away.. The farmer started to roll up the wire. *A repairman started to tflimb the pole to check the switch. As the farmer, finished rolling up the" wire, the repairman decided to test the line. The farmer hung the loop of wire on the fence post and turned away. The repairman closed the switch. And the farmer had missed death by seconds! Electricity is a relatively new miracle to many rural areas In the country. When handled properly it is, beyond any doubt, one of the wonders of the world. But Color Scheme A Problem ?
