Old Lighting Sets For Xmas Trees
Make Extra Precautions Necessary

insulation is not intact where the
wires enter the sockets short
circuit also is possible.
If an extension cord is necessary
to light the tree it should be OF
approved quality, marked with the
label of the underwriters labora-
tories.
Cotton, which is highly infam-
mable should never be used to simu-
late snow on a tree. Setting the
decorated tree in a pail of water Is
a further precaution against fire.
Curtailment of lawn and other
outdoor lighting has been urged this
year by the War Production Board
to conserve power and vital materials
hence most of the 1943 Christmas
decoration will be of the indoor
variety.

it carefully for insulation weak

CAMP DAVIS, Aug. 21-Faced
with a football schedule of major
league proportions, the Camp Da-

the '43 grid campaign Monday
with a tWo-hour conditioning ses-

the usual Observation-Disclosures,
