Keep Christmas
Trees Green
and Fresh

When you buy your Christmas
tree, choose one that is as freshly
cut as possible 1t will be a safer
tree and keep fresh longer, too.
Harry w. Dengler, University of
Maryland Extension forester, says
it's a good idea to buy your tree
from your local dealer It's to his
advantage to see that your tree is
freshly cut. If the needles fall off
easily while handling, don't buy
the tree, Dengler said. 1t isn't
fresh.
Water will help your tree to re-
tain its "alive" look When the tree
is brought home, throw cold water
all over it.
In order to open the pores of
the tree for drawing up water, you
should cut off the butt end about
an inch slantWiSc. Set the freshly
cut end in cold water and keep
the tree in cool shady place until
you're ready to bring it indoors
for decorating.
Give your tree water daily, be-
cause five or six foot tree can
drink as much as cup a day.
Every little green needle of the
tree gives off moisture during the
day. The more moisture it gives off
the greater will be the fragrance
of your tree.
The tree that is kept away from
hcat-giving items such as radiators
and light bulbs will be more likely
to keep its forest freshness.

The magazine also points out
that the investor-owned electric
industry is now paying in excess
of % percent of revenues for

payments of less than 5 percent
of revenues by the politically

Socialized power is wholly or
