P.U.D. THREE got the call around 10 a.m. and sent a crew to make repairs. They returned to town about 4:30 p.m. The top of the power pole was burned away as a result of being hit bY a hot line which fell when the insulat- ors were shot down• Local power officials are very much concerned over tnm macter because it presents a grave danger to the lives of persons or animals :who can easily come into contact with the hot lines after they drop close to the ground, The insu- lators control the line which keeps the power line tn proper position. "People who shoot insulators off power lines do t realize" the danger which they can cause,": said Claude Danielson, manager of the P.U.D. "THIS IS a serious problem for power companies everywhere. It isn't just a question of the troub- le it causes' the companies in re- pairing the lines that is import- ant but these lilies contain 7200 volts which is enougi to kill any- body," Danielson added.

A total of $145 in three dons- Lions is now of record in the cam- paign to save this community's swimming classes, peewee brass- ball, and other summer vacation children's recreational activities, which face the prospect of drastic curtaihnent at the very least, and perhaps complete abandonment be- cause of the lack of municipal fin- ancial support they formerly r- celved. First contribution to the fund was a $20 bill given by an anoni- mous donor the day the campaign was announced in last week's Journal, THIS WAS followed by a $100 check from the Shelton Almnrli Association and The Journal toss- ed in a $25 check as the third contribution made to date. Anyone wishing to contribute to the fund may do so by sending checks or cash to the H.ecreation Fund, c/o city hall, Shelton. They will be recognized in the, so columns each week. Need for a public rescue cam- paign to raise the funds for the recreation p r o gr a m developed when the city was unable to con- timm the $3400 it has annually contributed to the cost.
