MERRY CHRISTMAS HINTS FROM HOLLYWOOD In this series of pictures, Julie Bishop, screen and TV actress, shows some of the "do's and don'ts" to be observed around your Christmas tree to assure a Safe and Happy Holiday. Julie is cooper ating with the service bureau of Employers Mutuals of Wausau, Wis., to prevent home accidents which are more prevalent at Christmas than at any other tune of the year. 1?Be careful decorating the top of the tree. 2?Always use fireproof ornaments. 3?Water the tree often and don't keep it after it dries out. The next hint for Christmas safety is demonstrated by Julie Bishop's husband. Colonel Clarence A. Shoop, who stands too close to the tree with a lighted cigarette so. No. 4 rule is: Be careful about smoking near the tree or around gift wrappings and boxes. 5?Julie, her husband and children. Pamela and Stephen, aren't going to throw all those wrappings into the fireplace at one time because paper burns so rapidly that (larr.es might easily get out of control. * ?rnurtfsv of TCmoloyers Mu.uals of Wausat* CHRISTMAS IN JAPAN FAR EAST (FHTNC)?Christ mas and New Year's holidays are to be spent in Kobe, Japan by the USS Los Angeles.

The poinsetta has long been a popular Christmas plant but prob ably few people have given much thought to the fact that it does come into bloom each year only at this season. The so-called blooms are really leafy bracts which color up a brilliant red. The true flow ers are the small insignificant yel lowish cups found in the center of the whorl of red bracts. The poinsetta is one of a group of plants known as short day length periods, preferably ten hours or less. That is why it Is always In bloom during the Christmas sea son and not during the summer. It could be prevented from bloom ing now by lengthening the day light period to 15 hours by means of artificial lights. Flower growers have learned how to bring garden chrysanthemums into bloom any month of the year by using shad ing cloth to shorten the days and artificial lights to lengthen the days. The chrysanhemum Is also a short day plant. How can one keep a poinsetta plant until next season ? Alter its usefulness, is over, place it in the basement or some dry place whefle it will not freeze. Do not water it (or at least very little) and let the soil dry up. Next May bring the plant out. cut the stem back about two thirds, wash the old soil off the roots and re-pot in new soil. From then on handle it like any other plant. Softwood cuttings taken in July and rooted will give you good Christmas bloom. A good potting soil can be made by mixing equal parts of sandy soil, clay loam, and well rotted stable manure.
