scouts pay SIS every month for
the support of their foster
child.
Of this amount So is paid in
cash and the balance in neces-
sites according to the seasons
of the year and the needs of
the child. They are helping her
become educated so that she
can develop into a self-suffi-
cient and useful citizen.
Alexandra is going to be IA
years old April 9Th. She is the
third oldest of seven children -
ranging in age from 5 to Is

tresses; they have also in
creased their bedding and
clothing.
Alexandra's 1S-year old sister
is now working as a dressmaker
and averages some $16.67 per
month.
From the family's 10 sheep,
they have an income of $6.93 a
month. From their land, which
produces grains and olive oil,
they have an income of $11.80
per month. The mother and
children take care of the land.
The family's total monthly in

did not pass her exams for the
gymnasium and repeated the
sixth grade of primary school.
She has finally succeeded in
passing her gymnasium tests
with a good score and is now at
tending the first year.
Her favorite subjects are re-

A few months ago she was suf-
fering from typhoid and spent
three weeks in a hospital.
AS a result of it, she is now
pale and thin.
As result of Plan help, the
child is able to attend school.

Chief Cites Fire
Hazards of Season

atories to show they have met
shock and fire hazard stand
ards.
FIRE SAFE LIGHTING:
Wax candles on trees are
highly dangerous. Don't use
them on or near ANY tree.
Check tree lighting sets, ele-
ctric candles and similar holi-
day lighting equipment, as we'll
as extension cords, for frayed
wires, loose connections and
broken sockets.
Use only lighting equipment
carrying the Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) label. Un-
labelled materials, domestic
and foreign, seldom meet safety
standards.
Be sure the fuse on the circuit
serving the tree and other
lighting is not over is amperes.
Cord sets with fuse In the
plug, bearing a UL label, are
available and recommended.
For outdoor lighting, use only
sets listed for outdoor use by
UL. If an extensive holiday
lighting is planned, call in a
competent electrician to make
sure safety rules and regula-
tions are followed.
TURN OFF ALL TREE AND
OTHER LIGHTING BEFORE
RETIRING OR LEAVING THE
HOUSE.
PUBLIC PLACES
Home isn't the only place
where dangerous Christmas
fire hazards need attention. In
schools, churches, hospitals,
nursing homes and all other
public buildings, the only safe
tree and decorations are COM
pletely noncombustible ones.
For school and church plays,
avoid boards, masks and flimsy
costume materials unless they
have been treated to make fire
retardant.
In children's plays and church
professions, use safe, battery
operated electric candles in
stead of hazardous, lighted wax
candles.
In any public building, Christ
mas crowds may easily lead to
panic in case of fire. 1t is
especially important to keep
exit passages and doors m-
blocked and clearly marked, and
to enforce no-smoking regula :
tions.
The members of the Smyrna
Fire Company are joined with
the State Fire Marshal's Staff,
The State Prevention Com
mission and the National Fire
P rote ction Association in
asking everyone to practice
fire-safety during the 1862
Holiday Season, and as well
during every day in 1868.
