FEWER BREAKAGES OF INSULATORS ON TELEGRAPH POLES
Regarded as fair game by generations of school children, insulatorbreaking as a sport seems to have lost favour with today’s youth, according to an engineer of the Post and Telegraph Department. He says that during the last year remarkably few cases of this form of youthful self-expression have been reported. The Education Department >and many schools have co-operated and have been largely responsible for discouraging the vandalism. Usipg a film especially prepared by the Post and Telegraph Department, they have been able to impress on the children the far-reaching effects and public inconvenience which can be caused by using telegraph cups as targets for stone throwing and airgun practice. “This co-operation has resulted in a definite reduction in the number broken during the last few years.'’ the engineer says.
