Fire Chief Lewis
Gives Safety Hints On
Christmas Trees
Howard Chandler Christy’s
Christmas poster for the U. S.«
Army and the tJ. S. Air Force
is one of the most appropriate
to the times
it Psp 10 Mfitieri
ever display
ed. Entitled
“Give Us the
Faith and
Courage of
Our Fore
fathers,” this
fine poster
portrays
, Sam
H. c. rtrirtv kneeling in
prayer with the light coming
down from above. Painted orig-
iinally for the Layman’s Na-
^'^nat Committee of New York
City, this Committee made it
available on a public service
basis to the Ariny. and Air
Force Recruiting Service for re
production as a national Christ
mas poster. It has already had
a most encouraging response.
' Mr. Christy has done several
posters for the Armed Forces,
including “Freedom I^..^our
Business,'” which appeared na
tionally during October and No
vember of this year. He has
always exhibited a fine public
spirit ii'i. commemorating the
paintings of notable events and
historical personages.
One of his best-known works
is the “Signing of the Constitu
tion of the United States,"
which he was commissioned to
paint by the Government. It
depicts the signing of our Fed
eral Constitution and is dis
placed at the Capitol Building,
Washington, D. C. The painting
is regarded as the greatest pic
ture of that historic occasion
ever created by any artist. It
was viewed by millions of peo
ple while on display with the
Freedom Train.
Recently, Mr. Christy, a na
tive Ohioan, painted a mural
depicting the life of Thomas
Alva Edison. It was presepted,
with'appropriate ceremonies, to
the people of Ohio.
Howard Chandler Christy has
painted many of the great men
of this nation as well as many
of the women leaders of society
and' civic affairs. He has also
portrayed most of the^gcpat in-
^ternational leaders. One out
standing painting not yet made
public is .the signing of the
United Nations Charter in San
Francisco, in 1945. '
Chief Lewis warns that the
Christmas tree you are planning
to have in your home could be
a major hazard unless you take
the necessary safety precautions.
The Chief pointed out in con
nection with the never ending
fire prevention campaign of the
fire department, and the Junior
Chamber of Commerce that tests
by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters demonstrated that
Christmas trees of average size
are easily ignited and burn fur
iously. The blaze could easily
start a dangerous fire in the home.
The following recommendations
in regards to Christmas trees
have been made by the National
board, and have been passed on
by the Fire Department and the
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
1. Choose a small tree. It will
be less hazardous.
2. Wait until a few days before
Christmas to get your tree.
3. Keep the tree outdoors until
you are ready to set it_up.
4. Place the tree in the coolest
place in the house.
5. If a radiator is near the tree,
shut it off.
6. Do not use cotton or paper
decorations unless they are flame-
proofed.
7. Do not place electric trains
around tree.
8. Do not use candles. Use elec
tric lights instead.
9. Make certain wires are not
frayed. Choose lighting sets ap
proved by the Underwriters La
boratories Inc.
10. Do not plug or unplug lights
bgneath the tree.
11. Do not leave tree lights
burning when there is no one in
the house.
12. If needles near the lights
turn brown, change the place
ment of the lights. •»*
13. When needles start to fall
take the tree down and discard it.
