Santa Visits Robertson's Cleaners
Santa Claus made a visit to Robertson's Cleaners and is shown with Julie Robertson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Robertson (left) and Dennis Robertson, son of Mr. and
Mrs, Jim Robertson, on his lap. The children seem to have mixed feelings about sitting
with the "Jolly Old Man". One thing every individual can agree upon at Christmas time is
that peace on earth and good will toward men is a desirable goal for mankind. It is a
holiday during which all of us have the right to take some time off, to try to enjoy family
and friends and some of the good things of life. It is to hundreds of millions a time for
spiritual rededication. It is, to children, the magic time of year - perhaps this is the most
enjoyable part of Christmas. For Santa Claus, it is a lot of work, but he seems to enjoy it
to. Merry Christmas!. , ... .u;. ... r .
Keep The Home Fires
Burning
Have you checked your
chimney lately? If you're
planning a cozy fire for those
long, cold wintry evenings, you'd
better think ahead, according to
Mrs. Paige Underwood, Home
Economics Extension Agent. If
your're fortunate enough to have
1 a real fireplace and want to
consider "lighting it up" - then,
check it all out now. It shouldn't
smoke excessively - and it
should contain a safe fire.
Does your fireplace smoke?

But Safely
You can usually eliminate that
problem; check for fallen bricks
in the chimney (they could block
the flue). Then check for loose
mortar joints, or nearby trees or
tall structures causing eddies
down the flue - any one of these
could cause a smokey fireplace
If you still have the problem -
try a metal hood across the top of
the fireplace opening. This would
reduce the area of the opening
which should eliminate the
smoking, according to USDA's
bulletin on Fireplaces and
Chimneys.
A well-built chimney is very
important to produce sufficient
draft to supply an . adequate
quantity of fresh air to the fire
and to expel smoke and gases
emitted by the fire or by
equipment. The height of the
chimney is important too:, it
should extend at least three feet
above flat roofs or at least two
feet above a roof ridge. An in
spection each fall is important.
You may check for some of the
problems , and excessive soot
accumulation by lowering an
electric light into the flue.
In the event you don't have a
fireplace - perhaps, you want to
consider one in your new dream
house? Remember, a good
fireplace must be properly
constructed in the first place.
Chimneys and fireplaces must be
designed for safe, efficient use
The homemaker should have a
working knowledge of chimeny
and fireplace construction so
that he will know how to use it
and enjoy it. ; :
