The use Of lighted candles on or
near the tree should definitely be
avoided as should the use Of cot

be discarded or repaired immedi-
ately. An easily accessible switch
for turning of the trees lights
should be located away from the
tree. The lights should never be
left on when no one is at home.
Trees should be disposed Of
promptly when they begin she'd
