Ia Points Listed for Avoiding
Christmas Tree Fire Tragedies

The District Fire Department
and the National Safety Coun-
Gil today suggested these pre-
cautions to prevent tragedies
from Christmas tree fires:
l. Buy a fresh tree, but don't
attempt to flameproof it with
chemical solutions.
2. Keep the tree in cold
place, such as an unheated ga
rage, until ready to use.
3. Saw of diagonally at least
an inch of the tree trunk, put
the base IN a water-f1lled con-
tainer and keep the water up to
the required level.
4. Place the tree well away
from f1replaces. radiators, televi-
sion sets. powerful electric lights
and other heat sources.
S. Never use candles for deco
rations. Electric lights that bear
the Underwriters Laboratories
label should be used. but always
check wires for defects and loose
sockets.
6 Too many light circuits on
the outlet may overload the
house wiring and blow a fuse.
Reduce the load or connect part
to another circuit outlet. Never
increase size of fuse, or Substi-
tute penny for a blown fuse.
z. Turn off the tree lights
when no one is to be in the room
for any length of time.
8. Do not operate electric
