MAKE XMAS
TREE SAFE
Delaware Safety Council Gives
Protective Advice Concern
ing Xmas Decorations

aOnly God can make a tree-But
trees are burned by you and me. "
And our homes get burned too
by Christmas tree accidents. Each
year the Delaware Safety Council
issues warning reminders and pro-
tective advice about home Christ
mas trees-and each year there
are still tragedies caused by a lit
tie neglect with this good old ira
dition. But we believe, because
human nature can't be changed
suddenly and radically, that safety
has to be pushed continually. So
here once again, in the hope that
they may prevent Christmas tree
shadows, are few tips:
If you get your tree early, keep
1t in water till used. And don't let
it stand after Christmas until it is
dried out and more fammable.
Place the tree away from stoves,
fireplaces and radiators, and set it
well out of the normal path
through the room.
See that the tree is well sup
ported so that it won't tip over.
Inspect the light fixtures, and
don't use any that have frayed in
sH1ation. It's safer to look for the
label of Underwriters Laborator-
les. Inc, on tree lights (and cleo
trio toys, tool.
Don't overload a circuit, or fire
may start in the walls. If a fuse
blows, eliminate some of the lights.
Never use flame candles.
Don't string metallic tinsel in
contact with light sockets. 1t
could cause a short circuit and
start fire.
Beware of paper, cotton and
other fiammable decorations. Metal
glass, asbestos and mica decora-
tions can be had.
Never leave the tree lights turn
ed on when you're away from the
home.

why canned Fruits spoiI

Some of the things which may
contribute to the spoilage of home
canned foods are: Poor products
or good products badly handled;
use of imperfect jars or rubbers;
processing too short time or at
too low temperature to kill the
organisms that cause spoilage;
water which stops boiling while
processing; pressure gauge Of can
ner not accurate; inverting jars
while they are still warm; storing
jars while warm and in too hot a
place and failure to sterilize jars
that have held spoiled foods.

HiII-CIimbing Errors

One of the most common faults
in hill climbing is to stay in high
gear too long. Cars frequently
labor up hills, going slower and
slower until both car and engine
have almost stopped. This is bad
practice and sometimes dangerous.
1t is a common cause of overhead
ing and ''vaporlock." There is no
point in straining to see how steep
a hill can be climbed in high gear.
When the car begins to labor on
the hill, shift to second when the
speed drops to around 20 miles an
hour.

Some enter the body through food

In.
For 20 years, Semonu lived ali
a commoner, perhaps not knowing

According to the American

He explained that his grand
father, a tribal chief. had sent
his son to Germany to study.
The son fell in love with Ger

land. Semonu was born to the
couple in 1919 after his father
returned from serving in the
Kaiser's army.
He said he has never seen
