Dry trees can catch fire easily when touched off by a spark from electric lights. The problem can be avoided if fresh trees are purchased. They can be chosen by looking for a green color throughout, hard-to-remove needles and sticky bases coated with resin. To keep a tree fresh, place it away from fireplaces, radiators and other heat sources and cut off about two inches of the trunk. Mount'it in a sturdy stand and keep it filled with water at all times. When the needles begin to fall off because of dryness, dispose of the tree. Before hanging lights on a tree, inside or outside the house, check for broken or cracked light bulb sockets and frayed or bare wires. No more than three sets of lights should be attached to one extension cord to prevent possible overload. And, when you go to sleep or leave the house, turn off all lights and decorations. Tree trimmings can also be a fire hazard. Before buying these items, look for markings vice | trsaries 'j 15 Years Thomas L. Johnson No. 2 Shirley A. Jacks Lydia JamesA. Smith Lydia Johnnie F.

T<?ys Prospective Santas should be good label readers when shopping for Christmas goodies. Choose toys carefully with the age of the child in mind. Look for safety labels including "non-toxic" on painted toys, "flarne-retardant/flame-resistant" on fabrics and "washable/hygienic" materials on stuffed toys and dolls. Be wary of toys made of plastic or glass, which could break easily, or those with sharp points and edges. Remember that tiny toys and those with removable parts could be swallowed or lodged in a child's windpipe, ears or nose. Other Tips Finally, keep these tips in mind: The berries from poinsettias or holly are poisonous, and there is no known antidote. "Angel hair" is made of spun glass and can be a skin irritant. "icicles" used as tree trimmings are 40 percent tin and 60 percent lead and are toxic . if ingested. Watch your pets and your kids. ' Other toxic materials to keep your children away from are: pellets burned in the fireplace to produce multi-colored flames; smoke-producing pellets for electric train engines; and glue with model kits. Ray Godfrey explains to Kenneth Bu remove a "flat" grinding drum. Below, brush on card take-off roll. Godfrey Designs Plant No. 2 Assistant Carding Superintendent, Ray Godfrey, in his 46 years as a Card ing employee, has designed and implemented a number of safety and costsaving devices. Two of Ray's latest ideas that work is the installation of a bushing to elevate the rotating nylon brush on the take-off roll on chute fed cards in Plant No. 2. The simple bushing takes some of the weight off the nylon brush and as it rotates on the take off roll. The bushing prevents the bristles in the brush from becoming compacted. The brush provides a cleaning action on the take-off roll and reduces stray fiber build-up which can cause chokes and in turn damage cylinder wire. Godfrey has also designed a portable shelf which fits on the back of the cards. This enables the carding maintenance personnel to remove the 110-pound grinding drum without having to reach in an awkward post hum dtru55 xne cara tsy using the self, the drum is lowered onto the shelf, and the drum is pulled across, and the two persons remove the drum.
