AND COOKIES REPRESENTING YEAR'S CONSUMPTION
His Worship A. W. Shackleford, mayor of Lethbridge, Alberta, was en
gaged in a duty dear to the hearts of all public officials: introducing a
beauty queen. As he began speaking to 800 Valentine's Day dancers he
took hold of the handle of the public address system microphone and
then, in a manner dear to the hearts of public officials, grabbed the radio
station mike too. Instantly an electric current fled into His Worship's
body and froze his hands to the mikes. The stuttering mayor reeled back
ward while a radio announcer (left) and a town alderman tried desperately
to free him. But the mikes held the frantic jmatM|^j£tive until switches
were thrown, releasing him unharmed. The a difference
in grounding systems left a difference of 50 two mikes
and when the mayor embraced both he becJ^^^^^^^^^^^^nductor.
