And, this pleasant pasttime can be quite dangerous. Take the word of James Hoag, manager of Union Electrie Company's Safety Department kite flying requires considerable caution on the part of the person handling the kite.

He stressed the danger of attempting to retrieve a kite, should it become entangled on a power line: "The price of the kite is negligible compared to the Injury that could occur when trying to get the kite." Climbing can be extremely hasardous and can lead to a bad fall, while climbing utility poles or towers can result in electric shock or even death. Noag offers three precautions that he feels all parents' should Impress on kite-flying offspring 1. Fly kites in open areas a way from wires. 2. When a kite becomes entangled in a tree, electrie wire or transmission tower, consider the kite as lost.

3. Do not use strings containing metal fibers or wire, as they conduct electricity, Plain cotton string can be used with relative safety for flying kites.4 While Nog's advice 1 is directed to youngsters, he believes the adults should realise that it la their duty to caution children about kite-flying dangers.
