HOMESITES AVAILABLE FOR PATENT IN FORESTS

Four more homesites on the Alaska National Forests have been made available for patent through the signing, by Assist ant Secretary of the Interior Orme Lewis, of Public Land Order No. 928 on November g, 1853, according to Regional For ester A. w. Greeley. This Public Land Order provides for the elimination of the tracts from the National Forests. Three of them are located near Kenai Lake on the Kenai Division of the Chugach National Forest and the other is located on the Southern Division of the Ton gass National Forest in South east Alaska.
 The homesites eliminated in the Kenai Division arc Charles A. O'Leary, Lawing Group; Fred Clark Ferguson, Pr m TO e Group, near head of Kenai Lake; and Harvey A. AinsWorth, Trail Lake Group.
 The Regional Forester states that it is the policy of the Forest Service to eliminate homesite tracts from the National Forest as promptly as possible after the permittees have met the homesite requirements so that they may make application for patent to the District Land Of flee at Anchorage.
 Residents are particularly for tunate in that the homesite law can be applied in the National Forests of Alaska. This is not possible in Continental United States. Hundreds of homesites have already been eliminated from the Alaska National For ests and the permittees have re- ceived patent and now own their tracts.

TREE PRESENTS TOP
 CHRISTMAS FIRE HAZARD

The festive act of bringing in the Christmas tree" is also potentially dangerous one.
 That tree is highly combusti- ble. Filled with pitch and resin, it will ignite very easily and burn so furiously that it is al most impossible to extinguish. Bringing it into the home brings in a definite and serious fire hazard.
 To minimize the danger, the National Board of Fire Under writers suggests some simple but effective safety precautions:
 l. Choose a small tree It's just as pretty and is less of a hazard than large tree.
 9 Keep it outdoors until a day or two before Christmas.
 3. When you set it up, stand it in water or use Live tree in pot of earth.
 4. Place the tree in the cool est part of the house, away from radiators, heaters or fireplaces. Don't let it block an exit. If it must go near radiator, turn that radiator off
 5. Never use cotton or paper as decorations on or under the tree unless they are flameproof.
 G. Never smoke or lay a cigar cite, pipe or cigar down near the tree.
 2. Don't set up electric trains under the tree.
 g. Never trim it with candles; use only electric lighting sets. Be sure every wire and socket
Seward seaport record., 1953-12-18

is in good condition. When buy ing new sets, look for the UL label which means they have passed Underwriters Labora- tories tests for fire and shock safety.
 9. Provide a switch some dis tance from the tree for turning tree lights off and on. Never leave them burning when no one is home.
 10. Inspect the tree from time to time to see if needles near any of the lights have started to turn brown. If so, move the lights.
 II. Don't let gift wrappings pile up near or under the tree, or anywhere in the house. Throw them away as soon as the pres ents have been opened.
 12 When needles start to fall, take your tree down and dis card it outdoors.
