CHANCES SMALL
OF BEING HIT
BY LIGHTNING
WASHINGTON. — Chances are
422-million to one that you won’t be
killed by lightning this year.
You can raise the odds even furth-
er by following a few simple' rules
suggested by the National Bureau of
Standards.
For instance, no large object is en-
tirely immune aginst being stl'tick by
lightning. That’s why ybii Should
never stand under a lone ttee of in an
isolated shed to keep from getting
wet during a rain and electrical
storm. The damage to your dignity
by getting wet is far less than the
damage several thousand volts of
electricity can do.
The safest place to be during a
thunderstorm is a room entirely sur-
rounded by metal, or in steel-framed
buildings. Better yet, a room under-
ground.
But even when in a room like that,
you shouldn’t stand under a ceiling
electrical fixture or touch a telephone
during a storm. There’s danger of an
electrical shock.
The next safest place is a building
j well-equipped with lightning rods to
conduct bolts to the ground.
If you’re caught outdoors during an
electrical storm, head for a cave, a
depression in the ground, a deep val-
ley or cavern, the foot of a steep or
overhanging cliff, in dense woods for
a grove of trees.
A Want Ad will §ell it for you.
