BY LOU SWARZ

The fanfare that usually comes
with the Christmas Season must
carry with it some charm, especial
ly for those who know that LOVE
for the Christ Child means love
for everybody "Love thy
neighbor as myself" and
, why not?
With Love comes right thinking
which is basic for all desiring to
express Charm.
Even though these beautiful
gifts that you send, remember to
be sure that with each wrapping
must be LOVE. No matter how
attractive the paper might be, it's
that wonderful spirit of love that
will make the gift what it should
be. Only you with that inner un-
derstanding of all that makes
Charm your own visible asset, can
really do all that should be done
with a gift. And in giving, select
something useful as we'll as beau
tiful. And do give to be giving,
whether at Christmas time or not

These tragedies are all so

few minutes needed to follow a
few simple fire safety rules.
This is a story the home town
merchant can tell in his Christ
mas advertising and promo
ton that will long be remem-
bered and appreciated.
AS fire hazard, consider your
Christmas tree. Pretty though it is,
as it dries out it becomes more of a
prime target for fire every hour.
Therefore, bring in a fresh tree,
as short a time before Christmas
as possible and get it outside as
soon afterwards as you can. The
larger the tree, the greater the
hazard so don't get any larger
one than you need.
While the tree is in the house you
can reduce its fammability by set
ting it in water. Cut off the base
of the tree at an angle, at least one
inch above the original cut and
rest it in well-flled tub of water.
This method when used with fresh
trees reduces the f1ammability as
effectively as any fireproofing
chemicals.
Your tree should be well support
