Make Your Christmas
A Sufe One
Miss Patricia A. Middleton
Home Management Specialist
University Of Delaware

Do you have the feeling that ac-
cidents can happen to other peo-
pie but never to you? Don't fool
ourself-accidents happen to
everybody.
Each year at Christmas time,
many tragedies occur in homes
due to Christmas tree lighting. To
protect your family from t h
tragedies, first choose a fresh
tree-one that hasn't dried out.
Before buying the tree make
these three simple tests: bounce
the butt of the tree hard on the
ground. If the needles do not
shower down, the tree is fresh.
Next, pull the needles at the end
of a branch. Do they have good
resistance? If not, this isn't a safe
tree. Rub your fingr across the
stump. 1t should be sticky with
resin.
When you bring the tree home,
stand 1t in water or snow until
it's ready to be used. Bring the
tree indoors just before Christmas.
Remove it as soon as Christmas
is over.
Just before setting up the tree,
saw off the trunk at an angle at
least one inch above the original
cut. Place the tree trunk in water
and keep the level of water above
the cut the entire time the tree is
indoors. The water level should be
checked at least once a day for
absorption and evaporation.
Keep the tree away from fire
places, radiators and other sources
of heat. Be sure that the tree can
not block the wav out of the
house in case of fire.
Never use wax candles on the
tree or nearby where there is any
chance for an open flame to con-
tact the tree or combustibleS piled
beneath the tree. Be cautious a
9out buving imported lighting
lacking Underwriters Laboratories
label. Some foreign tree light bulbs
have shown imperfections which
can cause them to shatter and ex-

We Are Thankful
That each season always brings
Autumn's colors, red, gold, and

Beautiful leaves that cover the

Also vegetables, fruit and grain,
For the moon by night and sun by

Gives us time to work and play.
For our parents kind and true,
And all the things they do.
For kindness, food, love, and care,
Makes us feel we want to share
For trees and grass
And creatures that pass,
For the Mayflower of long ago,
And the Pilgrims we all should

For homes and friends,
And mail we send.
