Young Martin had been attending “a Scout meeting and was bound for home on his bicycle, bucking the vio- lent wind and rain. Suddenly he saw ‘ahead of him the dim outlines of light poles, leaning at sharp angles over the street. He pulled his flash- light out of his rain-soaked pocket, pressed the switch, and—came to a sudden stop. He stopped none too soon. .Wires from one pole were at about the height of his head and only three feet away.
