Electrici can be and is I hid- den and dent killer that is ever present in many Canadian homes. It is often the cause that takes a tragic toll of the lives of wo- men and children, yet household- ers continue to give casual attent- ion to the hazards that lie behind the proper use and installation of electrical equipment In the home.

For this and other reasons the Electrical Inspectors Department. under Mr. W. H. Poole. in con- junction with the Maritime Elect- ric C I, are ' ta 3 gur. vey of between four and five hund- red homeo and business establish- ments In the Charlottetown area. So far to date almost thirty per cent of the places visited it has been found that much of the elect- rical installatlons are far below standard IEQLIIFCTIICDIS.

Many of them were wired fif- teen or more years ago, at a time when appliances included only a few items and in most cases did not require anywhere great deal of Power to operate. Lonsequently the original wiring lsinot of suf- ficient Carrying capacity to handle the many and vuietf appliances of today.

In a nationwide survey it was found that a large percentage of all Canadian homes have skimpy wiring and the present team of surveyers ls discovering many in- stances of this in the Charlotte- town area. There is a difference, but not a great deal, between skimpiness and danger. The dan- ger begins when the impatient ” L ” , becoming cranky with the electrical system. seeks heav- ier fuses instead of the services of an electrician.

Mr. Poole said that a large num- ber of the present fire hazards could be prevented, if the house- holder instead of trying to be the amateur electrician. shining and adding to the permanent Install- ations. would call on the service: of a qualified tradesman.

Also if fuses frequently burn out don't try jambing pennies or tin foil un- der the old fuse. as this may eas- ily cause the wiring to burn out between walls or floors. A fuse in an electrical system has the same function as a safety valve on a boiler, and is generally placed in a position where it is unlikely to

cause damage.
