CHRISTMAS
Every year an estimated :
11,000 person lose their lives
' needlessly because of fire,
and 4,000 of these will be
children! Sadly enough, the
majority of fires begin in
homer-the very places where
children should be safe and
secure.
Here are some hints from
experts in the Hartford Insur
ance Group's Junior Fire Mar
shal Program, on how to
prevent fire in the home this
Christmas:
1. Keep candles away from
Christmas greens.
2. If strings of lights are
used, be sure they are in good
condition no worn or frayed
wires or loose sockets. Look
for the UL label, which
means that the Underwriters'
Laboratories have tested
them for fire and shock
hazard.
3. Be sure Christmas tree
lights don't overload the cir
cuit. 4. Stand the Christmas tree
in a bucket of water or wet
sand in a cool place away
from radiators, heaters, fire
places and doors.
5. Don't set the tree up
near any stairway or elevator
shaft which could provide a
draft.
6. Never use lighted can
dles on trees.
7. Ornaments should be
made of fireproof material.
Never decorate with cotton
or paper unless labeled
"flameproof."
8. Never set up an electric
train under a tree. Sparks
from the train might start a
Ore.
9. Don't leave tree lights
burning when no one is
present.
10. Provide a switch some
distance from the tree for
turning lights off and on.
11. Don't let gift wrap
pings pile up under or near a
Christmas tree.
12. Use only fireproof
party decoration,- ipd Christ
mas costumes.
13. Discuss the subject of
fire with the whole family.
Plan how you would escape
from each room of the house
if fire cuts off one or more
exits.
14. Check the location of
the fire alarm box nearest to
your house. And learn the
telephone number of the fire
department.
15. If you give a Christmas
party in a public building, be
sure exits are unblocked and
have fire extinguishers handy
at all times.
16. After the Christmas
party or gift-unwrapping
time, be sure there is no de
bris left to catch fire.

cranberry punch is a taste treat that is sure to be the hit of the
party.
Home economists at the Corning Glass Works lest kitchens

holiday entertaining. It should be served from heat-resistanl

ware sculptured toddy bowl being appropriate. The ingredients
are: ..-.- .
V cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup water
V teaspoon salt
' teaspoon ground nutmeg
' teaspoon ground allspice
'! teaspoon ground cinnamon
V teaspoon ground cloves
1 46-ounce can unsweetened pineapple ju ice
IVi-quart bottle cranberry juice
4 cinnamon sticks
butter
In a five-quart saucepot, mix sugar, salt, spices (except cin
namon sticks) and cranberry juice. Bring to a boil. Add pine
apple juice to the hot spiced syrup and heat again to boiling
Pour into a warmed Pyrex four-quart toddy bowl. Serve in
Creative Glass sippers. Dot with butter; use cinnamon sticks
for stirrers. The recipe makes 3' quarts or about 20 five-ounce
servings. ; f
The gals in the Coming test kitchens say' that even though
their punch recipe is non-alcoholic, "it tingles all the way down
to your toes."
BRIGHT IDEAS ON CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
1S - s
The "light fantastic" is a
term that can well be applied
to the glow that comes from
our Christmas trees, and some
enlightening ideas from fire
safety experts may help pre
vent that glow from turning
into a burning ember.
If you are using strings of
lights from last year or even
earlier, check the cords to see
that they aren't frayed.
Frayed cords can lead to
frayed nerves and worse.
Getting new lights this
year? Check to be sure the
ones you buy have a "UL"
label. This means that the Un
derwriters' Laboratories have
tested them for fire and
shock hazard.
If plugging in your tree
lights blows the fuse or trips
the circuit breaker, don't iry
using a larger fuse. Instead,
use fewer strings of lights.
Better less light and more
safety.
When erecting your tree,
stand it in a bucket of water
or wet sand.

' Want to make unusual,'
shapely pasta ornaments to
hang on your Christmas tree?'
It's easy.
First you dye the pasta
(manicotti, macaroni, spa
ghetti or noodles). To do this,
' prepare a dye solution by
pouring one quart of boiling
water into a mixing bowl
containing M level teaspoon
Rit- Dye powder Or Vi table
spoon Rit Dye liquid. (If col
oring light blue, use one tea- ;
spoon powder dye.) Stir'
briefly. Add the pasta. Stir
for about five minutes. Then
remove with a small strainer
or slotted spoon and drain on
paper towels to remove ex
cess moisture. After that, s
place on waxed paper or foil ''
to dry thoroughly.
To make exciting Christ
ni. is tree ornaments, all you
have to do is cut imaginative
shapes from cardboard, cover
them with felt, decorate with
itlued-on dyed pasta and tie
them with heavy thread to the
ti-ee.
And that is only the first
thing you can make for starts.
Create unique pictures
by covering stiff cardboard
with a pasta design; use white
glue to fasten each piece in
place
Have a standout decora
tive box by simply gluing on
in 'arrangement of dyed pas
la, Homemade napkin rings
.ue yours when you color
manicotti and decorate with
qlued-on macaroni.
Light your way with
candle holders made from
spray-painted frozen juice
cans decorated with pasta.
Kill each can with plaster of
Paris, sink bottle top (such as
Irom NuSoft fabric softener)
i. to top of plaster and let set.

Desserts at this, time of
year are always something
special. Fruit cakea.'.' . rich
plum puddings. . .delicate
cookies in all shapes and sizes. ,
With everyone trying to out
do each other, a change of
pace is- always welcome -such
as this lovely light wine
chiffon pie.
A full-flavored Rhine wine
from Germany is the secret to
this pie's success. Fragrant
and delicate,' it blends well
with the creamy sweet flavor
of the pie. In fact, it's almost
a haunting taste. . .you know
at once that there's something
unusual about this pie. . .but
you're not quite sure what
it is.
Wine chiffon pie makes a
pleasant contrast to the hearl-ier-than-usual
meals bping
served in so many homes at
this time of year. Its lightness
tops off,, any meal. And be
cause of its elegance, it makes
a perfect late evening dessert
when friends stop by. :
You may want to serve
some of the same Rhine wine
used for the pie during dinner.
Americans have found these
white wines from Germany
pleasing to practically any
taste, from the beginning
wine drinker to the experi
enced connoisseur.
