An electrical contractor in Toronto was electrocuted recently when he cut into a live 110 volt wire at the office of a doctor, The press report of the unfortunate incident did not say if the contractor was standing in a pool of water or not. It is logical to assume that the man was in contact with something when he cut the wire, Electricity is dangerous, if care is not taken, The doctor had rushed to the basement to cut the main power switch but was too late. The shouldn't have had to do it at all. No electrical contractor has worked with electricity long enough to ignore common sense safety rules, "Electrical Contracting & Maint," Page 8 CONSERVATION CORNER Kapuskasing----A pair of whistling swans which have been living on a marsh lake on the northeast side of Remi Lake and thought to be nesting ventured out on the lake only to be chased by some local "sportsmen" in fast motorboats, The swans, moulting and unable to fly, were soon exhausted, One was captured and brought to the south end of the lake where it was released and again pursued mtil arrival of a conservation officer to put an end to the "sport", Swans are protected at all times and Ontario Department of Lands and Forests officials point out that persons © possessing, molesting, pursuing, hunting or in any way interfering with them or their eggs may be prosecuted and all boats, firee ~ns or equipment used in capturing or hunting them may be con- fiscated, The large white swans are nearly twice as big as Canada geese, have a wing spread of about 52 inches and weigh up to 20 pounds. The trumpeter swan has a wing spread of 63 inches and may weigh as much as 36 pounds. Both have black bills and black feet and, in flight, greatly resemble the crane or pelican except that cranes fly with neck and feet outstretched, Pelicans fly with feet outstretched but neck drawn back to the shoulders, while swans fly with the neck fully outstretched but the feet tucked up tight to the tail, The wing beat in each case is slower than that of geese, o-0=0 SAFETY SLOGAN Winners of last week's Safety Slogan "Liftin's a breeze when yoa bend your knees" were: J, Wainwright, V.
