M? 1 SAFE CHRISTMAS: The Christmas season is one for fun and fellowship but it can be one of sorrow and tragedy. Many di sastrous home flrea have been caused because of faulty Christ mas lights, and many painful falls have come from putting the Star at the top of the tree. To lusure you and your family of a truly Merry Christmas, check yourself on these safety points: 1. Are the cords of your Chrint mas lights frayed or damaged? 2. Are the plugs cracked? 3. Is your Christmas tree root ci in a pall of damp soil or sand to prevent its drying out. Dry needles exposed to hot bulbs in vite trouble. 4. Is your tree placed to close to. window curtains? Many cur tain materials ignite easily. 5. Do you leave the Christmas lights on when no noe is in the room or in the house. Leaving the lights on for long periods of time can cause trouble, particu larly if there Is no one about to check the fixtures occasionally. 6. If you have lighting out-of doors, Is It the type of lighting that haa been weatherproofed. Severe shock may result from using Indoor lights outside In damp weather. 7. Take precautlona In trim ming the tree. Use a firm step ladder for decorating the top of the tree. # 8. Haa any Inflammable ma terial been placed about the base of the tree? 9. When the trimming job Is done, Is' the floor free of loose needles or ornament fragments that may cause falls? 10. Precautions should also be taken If gifts are to be unwrap ped about an open fire.
