LIVE-WIRE DANGER
POWER BOARD’S ADVICE (From Our Own Correspondent) MORRINSVILLE, Today. Reference was made at this week's meeting of the Thames Valley Elec-tric-Power Board to recent fatalities due to the handling of electrical extensions. The engineer. Mr. N. G. McLeod, said it was very necessary that both wiremen and public should know what methods to adopt in case of shock. The wiremen were given full instructions, but the public were not cognisant of the precautions required. In the case of contact with a live wire attempts at resuscitation should be continued for several hours. Attempts at artificial respiration in the cases reported recently had been carried on for only half an hour. Efforts should not cease for at least four hours. In one case on record breathing had been restored eight hours after an accident.
