Tips for Safe Christmas
Looks out for you

Fire has a better chance of
striking during the Yule season
than at any other time of year.
To guard against tragedy in your
home, the Sentry Safety Council
of Hardware Mutuals-Sentry
Life insurance group has COM
piled this list of fire tips:
. Select freshly cut tree;
stand tree in pail of water 4
and keep out of doors.
. When setting tree up just
before Christmas, make
fresh diagonal cut at base. y
Always use stand which has a
container for water and keep
water level above top of cut.
. Use only Underwriters Labo-
ratories approved lights to
decorate tree. NEVER use wax
candles.
. Do not smoke while trimming
tree or taking it down.
. Use only decorations made of
tire-resistant materials.
. If needles near lights turn
brown, move lights.
. Always turn off lights before
you leave the house or when no
one Is going to be within sight
of tree.
. When needles start falling,
take tree down and discard
outdoors. NEVER attempt to
burn tree in a fireplace warns
the Sentry Safety Council.
. If you have q metal artificial
tree use only otf-the-tree light
ing; short circuits in tradi-
tional tree lights will electrify
a metal tree. shocking anyone
who touches it.
. An electric train running
around the tree looks safe but
is a fire hazard--a spark from
the engine could start a blaze.
Never leave children home
alone anytime, especially when
Christmas decorations are up.
Finally, the Sentry Safety
Council says a little extra care
and common sense will make the
nights after Christmas happy,
700.
