NEW YORK - (ANP)-Early

The survey also shows that
there has been no loss Of en-

Safety Keeps
Holidays Happy

Each year fire turns Christmas,
the most joyful time of year, into
tragedy in hundreds of American
homes. Here are a few tips from
the National Board Of Fire Under
writers.
Few people realize it, but the
ordinary Christmas tree is one of
the most flammable objects
known. Place the tree in the cool
est part Of the house.
Do not, under any Circumstance
es, use cotton or paper for decora-
ton on the tree or around it.
See that all the wires on tree
lights are in good condition and
not frayed.
Provide a switch some distance
from the tree for turning the cleo
trio lights off and on. Do not plug
or unplug the lights beneath the
tree. Do not leave tree lights burn
ing when no one is in the house
From time to time inspect the tree
to see whether any Of the needles
have turned brown. If so, change
the location of the lights.
Keep plenty Of ash trays about
the house during the holiday sea-
son, as always.
After you have opened your
Christmas presents, remove all the
gift wrappings and packing mater
ials from your living room and
dispose of them.
