smoke when near the tree.
Use inconspicuous wires to hold
the tree securely upright. The
tree should be so placed that it
will not obstruct a doorway which
might be used to escape from q
room should fire break out.
Keep open fame decorations,
like candles, away from the tree,
curtains or hammable decorations.
Better still, use electric lights in
stead. And check your lights be-
fore placing them on the tree to
be sure wiring and light sockets
are in good condition.
When indoors, Christmas
tree dries out rapidly with in
creased fire hazard the result.
Take it down after Christmas just
as soon as possible. December 26
