Mr. and Mrs. “Pete” Thompson,
Miss Viola Vaughn, and Mr. Son-
Here’s a tip from the Depart
ment of Agriculture on how to re
duce the fire hazard of your
Christmas tree: stand it in water,
from the time you get it home un
til you discard it after the holi
days- That’s the most practical,
satisfactory and convenient meth
od found so far for reducing the
fire hazard and and preventing
needles from discoloring or fall
ing. And if you haven’t seen the
very inexpensive stands that now
include a bowl arrangement to
hold water under the tree, it might
be well to investigate them.
The place you select for -your
tree should be well away from
stoves, radiators, and other sourc
es of heat. When you smoke, keep
away from the tree.
The tree should be well se
cured against falling by incon-
spicious wires holding it against
the wall. The tree should be so
placed that standing or fallen, it
cannot block a doorway which
might be needed to escape from
the room.
It is important that your
Christmas lights be in good con
dition. A short circuit in worn
wiring might be sufficient to
start the tree burning. Sets bear
ing the label of Underwriters La
boratories, Inc., have been tested
for fire hazard and pronounced
safe by experts.
Christmas wrapping burns like
tinder and should be removed as
soon as possible. See that all
wrappings go into the waste bas
ket and that it is taken out and
dumped in a covered metal barrel
or incinerator as soon as it is
filled.
Be careful of heat operated
toys and new electrical gadgets.
