About Lightning touowtng a lew .simple safety rules will help reduce the chances of in jury by lightning, says H. HI. Ellis, State College. - t Don't' go outdoors or remain out i J..; 4.1 J unless it is absolutely necessary. Stay inside a. building where it is dryTpre ferably away from fireplaces, stoves, and other metal objects. ;': In choosing shelter, select a build ing which has a lightning protection system or a large metal or metal' frame building, lf an unprotected building must be used, choose a large rather than email one. In all cases, stay away from, open doors and win . dows. . ' : Ml you must remain outdoors, keep away from small sheds and shelters in exposed locations, t isolated, trees, wire fences, hilltops, and large open spaces, seek shelter in a cave, de pression' in the ground, valley, the foot of a steep or overhanging cliff, dense woods, or a grove of trees. t Occupants of an automobile having a metal body are practically immune from injury by lightning. Ellis points out that lightning is one of the chief causes of farm fires, damage' from this source exceeding 20,000,000 annually. ; Buildings should be protected with equipment covered by the Master Label Service, which is a guarantee that the system is in accord with the best modern knowledge. ; A wire fence will conduct electricity for considerable, distances. Livestock should be protected by jr round inn all wire fences. . Connect ground rods with each lateral wire of the fence and ' extend into the ground for at least three feet. Fences joined to a build. ing should be grounded at the post nearest the building. Also, the around rod of the structure should be con nected to the fence.
