Make ’52 Safe For You Nineteen hundred and fifty-one has nearly passed with one of the best safety records ever experi enced by the Caromount and Wil son Divisions. Congratulations are in order for all who helped make this rec ord. A good safety record depends on the individual - it cannot be made with rules and guards. You are responsible for making our record as good as it is and only you can make it better. From March until October this year the Caromount Division worked over 750,000 man-hours without a lost-time accident. We had hoped to make it one million and with a little more effort on the part of you we can reach this goal in 1952. The Wilson Division has had no lost-time accidents this year and can only strive to maintain that good record. Let’s make it Safety for you in ’52. For A Safe Christmas 1) Use a “fresh” tree, not one that is dry and tindery. 2) Keep it outdoors until you use it, and set it up only the day that it is to be decorated. 3) If possible, place the tree in the coolest part of the house, where it will not block any means of exit, and turn off the radiator nearest it. 4) Never use lighted candles. 5) Check electric wiring for worn spots and loose connection. Christmas In Germany Since many of our most cher ished Christmas customs origin ated in Germany, perhaps you would like to know something of the native German observation of Christmas. In Germany Christmas begins on the first Sunday in December, when homes are decorated with branches of fir and lighted can dles appear in the windows. A large wreath is placed on the din ing table, surrounded by four candles. Every Sunday night one of these candles is lit, so that on Holy Night all four of the tapers are alight. On this first Sunday, also, the first Christmas cookies are eaten, and grownups and chil dren begin preparing their Christ mas presents. The night the Christ mas Man comes around after the children are asleep, to collect their letters requesting gifts. The second Sunday of the Tw^elfth Month sees each child leaving a shoe in front of his door or wdndow, to be filled during the night with candies, apples and nuts by Santa Claus and his help er. Gradually the Christmas spirit mounts, culminating in Holy Night, or Christmas Eve. During the day all decorations must be renewed, and even the humblest home in Germany has its Christ mas fir tree. On the afternoon of Christmas Eve the whole family attends special church services, returning to find the gifts by San ta, with replicas of the Holy Fam ily in the Nativity scene, arranged under the tree . . .Dyelines and Bylines. Supper was served buffett in tbe dining room and tbe exquisite table made a lovely picture. Sbown bere is tbe new borne of Mrs. Katbei'ine Morris and Ralph Morris of tbe Weaving Department.
