The Christmas season is impOr-

many of them are purchased during

any of these devices it would be
wise for purchasers to give atten-

of safety that can be depended
upon is the Underwriters label on
attachment cords. The attachment
cord is the part of the appliance
which is likely to wear out first,
and this part at least, should be
up to a safe standard of construc-
ton. Worn out cords are response

WASN'T it grand occasion
w years ago. when mother light
ed the candles on the Christmas
tree. Then We knew that Christmas
had really come. and that roast
duck, plum pudding and gifts for
everybody would soon be on the
way.
But when we stop to think about
1t, we wonder why the house didn't
burn down every time the tree was
lighted. The truth is that many
houses did burn down. The bell
on the horse-drawn fire engine too
frequently clansed in disharmony
with the Christmas chimes. Engine
companies looked forward to busy
season at the end of the year.
The use of lights on Christmas
trees goes back to the old world
many centuries ago. A Swedish leg
end tells of mysterious lights which
cleaned from the branches of
particular pine tree during the
Christmas season. Other stories as
sociate the lighting of trees with
shining stars seen through the ev-
ergreen trees. When candles were
invented it was only natural that
they be used to simulate the ira
ditional lights.
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1939-12-19

But candles, like the hOrse-draWn
engine. have fallen by the wayside
in the worlds march to safer and
more efficient things. Electric lights
have replaced candles for decorat-
ing CHI: ,,-~',e tvcos because they
are safer and more cOlOrful, and
each year we see greater number
of electric lights used, both indoors
and out. There is a precautiOn or
two, however, which should be
noted in the use of these lighting
sets. Like all electrical equipment
for attachment to the light circuit,
Christmas tree sets should be kept
in good condition if they are to be
free of fire and shock hazards. Last
year the Association of Electrical
inspectors received reports OF 81
fires which were caused by defec-
tive wires in Christmas trees, and
it is likely that many other fires
occurred which were not reported.
When you take your Christmas
tree set down from the top shelf
this year, look at the insulation on
the wires. See if, since last year,
the insulation has become dry and
cracked or if the copper wires have
become exposed at any point Also
see if any o. the sockets have been
broken or if lamp bulbs fail to fit
