Danford, director of safety education for the bureau, the accident preven tion division of the Association of Casualty and Surety compan ies. "Yet year after year they leave stoves burning while they go shopping, toss cigarettes on tinder-like decorations, attempt Christmas lighting displays vrith faulty fixtures, and engage in a dozen other careless practices." Christmas tree fires are among the big killers during the sea son, Mr. Danford said, adding that trees should be set up so their bases are in containers 01 water to keep them fresh anu reduce their flammability. Non flammable decorations should be purchased when possible. ?:Ii they are not available, a simple fireproofing compound contain ing seven ounces of borax and three ounces of boric acid in two quarts of hot water can be mix ed to sprinkle over cotton "snow" and other similar deco rations. Be certain Christmas tree lights are in good condition; shorting wires cause many lires, Mr. Danford warned. As a last reminder, he urged that the dead and dry Yule tree be dis posed of ? to a safe place where it can be burned ? as soon as possible after the holiday. 1 00 YOU KNOW WHAT THESE SYMBOL!
