Christmas Trees
Source Of Danger

The state fire marshal has issued
warning on the danger of fires from
Christmas trees, which will be well
for both old an6 young to remember,
especially at this time when all effort
should be made to protect and pre-
serve the home. BY so doing the gov
ernment may be helped to conserve
food and property, and in addition
keep the old home waiting for the
return OF many of the sons and broth.
ers who have answered the call to
colors. The following suggestions
will not cause any hardship, but If
followed will insure a merry Christ
mas
Don't decorate Christmas trees
with paper, cotton or other inflamma-
BILE material.
Use only metallic, tinsel or other
non-inflammable material, and Sc.
the tree securely, so that children in
reaching for things can not tip 1t
over.
Do not permit children to light OF
relight candles when parents are not
present; they frequently set fire 10
their clothing instead, The tree it.
self will burn when needles have be-
come dry.
Keep matches out of reach of chill
dren at holiday time; they like to eX-
pertinent with them.
The light, inflammable decorations
in stores, churches and bazaars make
fires easy to start and easy to spread.
A match, gas flame, or any electri-
cal effect may do it, Watch gas jets.
Do not make the slightest change
in electric wiring without consulting
the electrical inspector.
Many fires are caused by candles
on Christmas trees The tree should
be fastened firmly, so that it can not
be upset. Cotton, which is used to
represent frost or snow, catches fire
very easily. The same effect can be
secured by the use of asbestos or min
eral wool, which is safe. The can.
/ dies should be placed on the tree so
they can not set fire to branches
above them, and should not he light
ed by children Before the gifts are
distributed the candles should he eX-
tinguished. Electricity is much safer
than candles for lighting Christmas
trees. Doors should remain closed
while the candles are burning, be-
cause of the danger from drafts sway
ing the branches or blowing curtains
against the tree The floor under
the tree should be protected by a
piece of zinc or iron
