And as the risk, however small, is yet real, ‘and thunderstorms are more frequent in summer, some "safety first" hints may not come amiss , That means that the risk is roughly one in 4,000,000. Put it another way, and you might say that thunderstorms are almost as safe as railway train« , Are you scared of lightning? Do these summer thnnderstorms make ' you hide in the cellar or take refuge in bed? _ Thunderstorms are unnerving, And they can be dangerous. But actually the risk is very much smaller than most of us think. It is said that in Great Britain fewer people are killed by lightning in twelve months than are killed by cars in a single day. Actually in recent years, the average annual number of deaths from lightâ€" ning in England and Wales has been ten. Thunder Storms Frishten Many The influence of speed per se is indirectly confirmed in another quarâ€" ter. Since 1927, while automobile horsepower has steadily expanded, pedestrian fatalities have increased only 29 per cent; it is easy enough to kill a pedestrian at any speed. Durâ€" ing the same interval, however, markâ€" ed everywhere by higher speeds, deaths resulting from collisions beâ€" tween two cars increased 142 perâ€" cent. These figures should dispose once jor all of the argument that it is ‘old fashioned" to emphasize speed as the most important factor in the alarming rise in the automobile death rate , While accurate figures regarding speeds at which accidents occur are ’dimcult to obtain, the council conâ€" cludes from the informestion availâ€" able from a number of states turnâ€" ing in detailed reports of accidents resulting in injuries that at speeds under 20 miles an hour only one such accident in 61 is fatal. In the next higher speed bracket, 20 to 29 miles an hour, one in every 42 is fatal, at 30 to 39, one in 35; at 40 to 49 one 11. "They don‘t really want to have an accident, but neither do they sufficiâ€" ently want not to have one. They take chances by going too fast; they passe other cars on hills and curves; they cross railroad tracks without looking; they do not slow down at intersections; they expect other drivâ€" ers and pedestrians to get out of their‘ way regardless of traffic condilions.”‘ 1 Council, confirms last yem:'sr hl;h reâ€" cord of 37,000 motor vehicle fataliâ€" ties. â€"â€"‘"Accident Facts," 1936 edition, published by the National Safety ope cinruee * * MB im tedititt sc 4 22 i thunderstorm seems to be Of the annual average of peoâ€" uts 4 unds New York Times, June 21 , ___ General John J.

It was noticed that during one very bad storm recently the Festiniog slate area, in Wales, was absolutely unâ€" touched, although a good deal of damâ€" age was done in place all round it. And people who live in or near slate districts say that this is not in any way unusual, but that the slate seems to give a real protection. It may pay to investigate this a little more closely. If lightning passes over a slate district, may it not pass over house with slate roofs in the same way? It would be interesting P MWm taes ts ie se s But the most dangerous place of all in a thunderstorm â€" one which must be avoided at all costsâ€"is near a metal fence, especially a wire fence. If a wire is strvck by lightning at any point it becomes dangerous throughâ€" out the whole of its length, so that a man touching a wire fence might be killed by @ flash a mile away. There have been cases where a numâ€" ber of cattle, huddled against a fence of this kind, have all been destroyed by Atheâ€"On6 HPhIDINGF Alenhaue. South Africans wiuld probably echo that advice. There was a case in Cape Colony a few months ago in which sixty natives, who had crowded toâ€" gether into a hut, were killed by a single lightning flash., There is another warning in the American code that is wofth bearing in mind. It is against taking refuge in a small shed or shelter in an exâ€" posed situation. This may be dangerâ€" ous. pf ~CC tepniation among country folk. % The safest rule is to avoid all isoâ€" ’,‘ated trees. Where remaining out of ‘| doors is unavoidable, however, â€" the | American Code recommends taking ~| shelter in dense woods or in a grove ‘| of trees, cave or depression in the | ground is also a good refuge, and : the foot of a steep or overhanging cliff should be reasonably safe. Some authorities belive that there is little danger of a man being struck by lightâ€" ning while moving over open grovnd. Others, however, say that just as a trees standing alone will attract the flash, so a man, if he‘s the tallest object in an expanse of country, may do so. The American experts brackâ€" et hilltops and wide open spaces as to be avoided. It is certainly safer to lie down if you are caught in a thunderstorm on an open common or golf course. And if you are carrying golf clubs. don‘t keep them beside you. Lie down some distance away from them, Experience suggests that you are safe in a car, if you keep movâ€" ing slowly. But don‘t go quickly, even if by doing so you may hope to get somewhere safer. The current of air which is set up by a fastâ€"moving car has been known to act as a conâ€" ductor for lightning. [ Recently oaks have been struck by lightning more frequently than any other kind of tree, thus justifying the old country rhyme: "Beware of an cak, It draws the stroke." Elms come next on the danger list, and then pines and firs are bracketâ€" ed together. But some years ago, popâ€" lars figured on the list immediately atfer oaks, and the ash also has A bad reputation among country folk. But if you‘re out of doors during a thunderstorm, as may happen to any of us at holidayâ€"time, what shou‘ld you do? Dr. Innes, Director of the Transvaal Observatory, has added another piece of advice: "Avoid the line between two open windows, two open doors, an open door and window, and a fireplace and window and door." There have, of course, been cases, though comparatively few, of people being injured wheff a house has been struck by lightning. So the American official "Code for Protection against Lightning" advises staying where it is dry and keeping away from fire places, stoves, and other metal obâ€" jects. ‘ Office, has suggested that the explanaâ€" tion is that there are "many more men than women out of doors durâ€" ing thunderstorms."
