And, every spring, a few of them end up with bruises, broken bones or even worse. Kite flying is fun. But unless a few simple rules are observ ed, it can also be dangerous. Here are some things you should know (and some things you can tell you children) to help make this a safer kite flying season: 1. Make sure the area where kites are to be flown is far from electric power lines, TV and radio antennas. 2. Do not use wire or metal in building a kite. Use only wood, paper and cloth. 3. Make sure the kit string does not have a metallic thr ead. This type of string could result in serious electr ical shock if it comes into contact with an electric power line. 4. If the kite becomes entan gled in a power line, leave it there. Do not try to pull it free or attempt to climb the pole. 5. Make sure the kite string is dry. and avoid flying kites when there is lighting. Power lines have become so commonplace that children sometimes forget that the ele ctricity they carry can be dangerous. A reminder can help make this a safer kite flying season Business Activity Rose 1.2 Percent The level ot business acti vity in North Caorlina rose 1.2 percent in February, accord ing to the Wachovia Business Index.
