COOPERATE TO PREVENT
 TUNDRA FIRES

The Tundra is highly inflam- able.
 Tundra fires leave ugly, life less country. They kill small birds and animals, destroy eggs. They ruin the slOw-reviving rein deer pasture.
 Don't throw lighted cigarettes or matches from your automobile or tractor.
 Don't build fires on plant life but on bare open spaces. Put out sparks.

Christmas Day
Growing Record
Is Fun for All

If you have new house and a
baby this Christmas there is a
nice old fashioned custom that
you must start without delay.
Select some place in the house for
a measuring stick" that may be
kept through the years. Each
Christmas morning the family
should be measured and the no
tations made for posterity.
You may be casual about this
and merely mark up the heights
on the side of the coal bin, and
they will still be fun to look back
on 20 years from now-but the
ones you will love are the ones that
take on the form of a calendar
of achievement as the years 90 on.
For this take an important spot
on the play room or recreation
room wall. Carve or paint in color
the measurement for this year
and for the baby, his birth date,
etc. Each year with great ceremony
carve or paint additional data. so
that by the time big brother be-
comes a Rhodes scholar or sister
sings her first concert, the family
record is complete on the play
room wall. It's a nice idea that
came from the old country to New
England, and We still find here
and there throughout the United
States where family customs are
followed up.

BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

Getting the house ready for Christ
mas might mean something more
than the usual housekeeping and
decoration with garden boughs.
Nothing adds more to that joyous
feeling than some new feature, for
the house something you have
always wanted, that is all bright and
shining for the holiday season.
Father might do this for the family.
or even better, the family surprise
father on Christmas morning with
something to make his paternal du-
ties lighter.
II you have the type Of garage
doors that swing out-but refuse
to swing after the first snowstorm
until some one shovels the snow and
chops away the ice-have an over
head door installed for father so he
may get his car out with merely
a touch on the carefully balanced
door. This complete installation
may be done in an afternoon and
will cost approximately $50.
How About a Mantel?
Father might reciprocate by hav-
ing a modern, well-designed mantel
installed in the living room, now
that winter makes the fireplace the
focal point of the room. Stock
mantels may be purchased, care
fully made from the finest designs,
in any period and in many woods.
This installation, If the chimney
need not be changed, may be done
for about $35, and if the room should
be repainted this also might be ac-
complished for under $40. 1t would
really seem like Santa Claus had
come to wake up Christmas morn
ing to find a whole new room.
If you have planned to make an
extra room in the attic or basement
why not get this done in time for
Christmas and have a warming
for the holidays? The boys OF the
family would enjoy a study room
on the top floor of the house, where
they might have their books, work
table and their radio without dis
turbing the house routine. The
building supply houses have the
most amazing new wallboards
which are thoroughly insulated on
one side and finished in color, porce-
lain enamel or wood surface on the
other. You may reckon your costs
at about IL to Is cents a square
foot installed. depending on the
surface you select. Some are more
costly than others. Floors may be
linoleum, linoleum tile, wood blocks
or any other of many excellent
floor finishes.
Fun in the Basement.
Recreation rooms, as such, are liv-
ing up to, the meaning Of their
name in becoming hobby rooms.
One Of the most valuable installa-
tions for this type Of room is work
bench, which becomes equipped,
through many Christmases, with
power tools as we'll as hand tools.
Building things. from doll houses
to boats that sail, from repairing
the kitchen chair to designing a
cabinet for the radio, is fun for all
the family. Cover the walls Of q
room like this with wallboard. Build
In shelves and cupboards for ma
terials and unfinished projects. Plan
working space on benches the proper
height, and there will be fun in the
cellar for many years. Power tools

wood and wood surfaces are both
fashionable and important again, is
q valuable accomplishment for boys
and girls. Call this q hobby room,
a workshop or what you will, but
make it so that real work can 60
on here without being disturbed.
For a Christmas present that
lasts all year, install something In
your house that saves steps or en-
ergy or annoyance. Each day that
goes by makes the pleasure greater
with this type Of gift. When you
waken In the morning to a warm
house, because some one installed
an automatic heat control device
which starts operating an hour be-
fore you wake. you will be filled with
a gracious Christmas spirit before
breakfast. These-ready to be
turned on-will cost about $50 and
will be worth their weight in gold
each day when you wake up.
More Light in the Bath.
Another thought from the ladies
Of the house to the gentlemen
would be the installation of fiuo-
resent lights on either side OF the
mirror in the bathroom with an
outlet for the electric razor nearby.
These lamps may run in long tubes
on either side of the mirror and
cast no shadows, which will be very
much appreciated. This may be
done for less than $40.
1t is amazing how many annoy
ances we put up with which might
be eliminated by a small expendi-
ture. When this is something which
the whole family enjoys, as we'll as
an asset to the value of the house.
it would be an excellent idea to
place 1t on the top of the list for
Santa Claus. If you would rather
not have workmen in the house
during the days before the holidays,
you might put a large rain check"

A personalized mattress is one OF

The theater was on fire. The old
lamp had turned over, the kerosene
spilled. A spark from the switch
board had ignited the oil.
With half of his mind Johnny
heard the garbled explanation OF
the blaze; with the other half he
was trying to figure out the quick

she had gathered for the set.

He dragged Molly after him.
The flames licked at his ankles
dangerously. Johnny lifted Molly
over the threshold of the stage
door.
Get over there on the lawn
and don't come back again"
What are you going to do?"
Molly was hysterical.
I'm going to help Jean get the
props out!"
Johnny pushed his way through
the screaming crowd of actresses.
Clicked with smoke, he reached
the stage door again just as Jean
threw out the Carstairs silver
service.
Thank heaven for somebody
who's not an actor" Jean shouted
when she saw him. Get in here
and help me, Johnny"
Johnny took her orders. He was
amazed at her courage and eff
cheney.
Get everything as far away as
possible. Hey, Rex!" - she had
