Potomac Control Dams

The best way to check watel
pollution is to regulate the flow
of the river. David v. Aud. Dis
trict director Of the Sanitary
Engineering Department, sait
last night.
Addressing a meeting Of the
Dupont Circle Citizens Associa-
ton, he said this can be done
by the construction of dams OF
through an extensive program
Of soil conservation.
Mr.. Aud. who is also vice
chairman of the Interstate
Commission on the Potomac
River Basin, was Of the opinion
that in the coming decades
erection Of dams will be the
key to pollution abatement.
He gave the estimate that
by the year 1000 the Metropoli-
tan Washington population will
be somewhere near E8 million
and the area would require IL
billion gallons of water a day
to meet the needs of all It's
citizens.
Supply Of unpolluted water
to this extent will be possible
only If good storage structures
are erected" he said.

Suggestions For
A Safe Christmas
Tree GiUen

Eighty to ninety persons may die
Y from Christmas tree fire during the
holiday season according to the Ma
tional Safety Council An untold
number of persons may be injured
or made homeless. A Christmas
rec is a serious fire hazard unless
4 proper care is taken
4 Here are some ideas for keeping
families and homes safe for the
holidays by having a safe Christ
mas tree.
Step one Select fresh green
tree. Such a tree will not readily
/ burn Don't buy tree if the needles
are turning brown. 1t has already
dried out too much.
! Step two Keep the tree fresh
and green. Cut the butt OF the tree
at all angle about one inch above
the original cut and place the tree
in water. This angled cut gives a
fresh surface for the tree to take
up water. A saw will make a better
water absorbing cut than a smooth
axe cut.
Store the tree in a cool shady place
until it is ready for use. If possible
sprinkle the branches daily with
/ water.
When the tree is put in the house
place it in a Water-filled holder.
Remember to water the tree. 1t
may use as much as quart Of
water a day.
The tree should not be near a
stove, radiator, television set or
any other source OF heat
Step three Use safe decora-
tons and lights.
Never use candles or open flame
on or near the tree.
Check Christmas tree lights for
worn and frayed wires that could
start a fire. The electrical outlet
for plugging in tree lights should
be away from the tree 20 the
lights can be easily disconnected in
an emergency
Don't use decorations that will
burn. Don't let foil icicly short
a light socket or replace burned
/ out bulb.
Be careful that the electrical cir.
cults OF the house are not overload
ed. If a fuse burns out, find the
canse before replacing the fuse.
Don't leave the house with the
tree lights burning
Don't keep a tree too long. Even
carefully watcred tree will dry
out in a short time.
a well-shaped, fresh, green tree
makes beautiful Christmas tree
For safety and for beauty keep a
green tree in your home this Christ
mas.

Helps Taste
BY using a pair of pliers you can
remove many of the heavy tendons
of the legs This greatly improves
the cooking and taste of the drum
sticks.
Stuff your turkey Just before put
ting it into the oven. Use three
skewers before closing the cavity.
Tie square knot after each
skewer SO the lacing won't tighten.
This allows steam to escape and
prevents soggy dressing.
And last, but important, give your
turkey chance to cool before serv-
ing. 1t will carve much better if
you do
