CHIEF WARNS sHANDYMEN'
YuIe Fire Hazards

Three years OF war and short
age of wiring and electrical
equipment a d d considerable
hazards of Christmas in the
danger this year TO the ordinary
home, Fire Chief c. Edward
Willert pointed out this week as
"handymen" in thousands Of
homes set about the task of rig
ging up the Christmas tree
lighting.
Worn wiring on strings OF
tree lights and patched con-
nections made by amateurs may
mean disastrous and tragic fires
in homes this Christmas, Chief
Willert states, in warning every
householder to take full pre-
cautions-even to the extent Of
dispensing with tree lighting If
wiring appears unsatisfactory.

not be left burning for lengthy
periods of time, Willert states,
because both lights and wiring
generate considerable heat.
Tree lights should never be
left burning over night or when
no one is at home, he warns.
u n der no circumstances
should old-fashioned candles be
placed on a tree or near win
dows, where curtains might
catch fire.
Willert points out that his
wegning is more imperative this
year than in any year past, due
to, the difference between war
time and peacetime wiring and
decorations.
Don't take a chance on fire
this Christmas" is his appeal TO

BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD
Star Staff CORRESPONDENT

MONTREAL, Sept. 19.-Imme-
diate relief measures in Europe
must be governed by military
considerations, and all that can
be hoped for in the beginning is
the minimum necessary to
maintain life and health" 1t.
Gen. G. N. MacReady of the
Anglo-American combined chiefs
OF staff told the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Ad-
ministration Council today.
ANY additional supplies which
the civil authorities desire to spon-
sor must be considered in the light
OF military priorities," ne declared.
Gen. MacReady and Maj. Gen.
Glen L. Edgerton of the United
States Army combined in making a
report to the UNRRA Council on
Studies of Relief Operations con-
Quoted by the Civil Affairs Com
mittee of the combined chiefs of
staff.
Depends on Military Necessities.
While declaring that the military
authorities wanted in every possible
way to cooperate with UNRTeA and
aid in the rehabilitation of Europe,
Gen. MacReady declared:
Everything in this connection
will depend on the hard realities
of military necessities including, in
particular, the shipping situation,
availability of port facilities and
inland transportation, and the con-
ditions prevailing within the lib
Grated areas in relation to the mill
tary situation.
Essential military production, es-
sential military shipping, essential
military use Of ports and transpor-
tation must all be met before the
military authorities can undertake
to arrange for the importation of
anything beyond the essential min
imum civilian supplies for any
country with which they are con-
cerned."
= Military Control for 6 Months.
In general, said the British officer,
1t is the plan of the military au-
thorities to assume the RESPONSE
bility for relief in zones of military
operation for about six months.
However, he added:
