Danger of Fire Is Greatly Enhanced By Christmas Tree ■PHE AVERAGE CHRISTMAS tree * can go up in smoke in only two minutes. That doesn’t leave much time for the fire department to get there. . A live tree with roots packed in a bucket of earth is the safest. Be sure and keep the dirt moistened. A small tree is safer than a large one and festive trimmings can make up what it lacks in size. Keep the tree outdoors until you are ready to set it up inside. When you bring it in, keep it in the coolest part of the house with the radiator nearest it turned off. Use noninflammable aluminum foil—not cotton or paper—to conceal container in which tree is “planted." Use noninflammable trimmings on the tree. Don’t use lighted candles. (This may seem an unnecessary precau tion in this day of electric lights, but lighted candles contribute to tragic fires every year.) Check the wiring for the tree to see that it’s not frayed and is in ' perfect condition. The switch for turning off and on electric lights should be at some distance from the tfee. Don’t plug or unplug lights beneath the tree. Don’t leave tree lights on when it isn’t necessary and especially when the family is away from home. From time to time, check over the tree and see if needles near the lights are turning brown. If they have, move the lights. Watch the calendar. New Year’s is the day for the tree to go down. If you should extend the time, don’t leave the lights on the tree for more than a half hour at a time. TN 1937, a Waukegan, 111., minister ^ and the residents of one city block decided to do something about the disposal of the family Christmas tree. Nothing is more forlorn than worn out Christmas trees. They der serve better fates than being dumped in alleys and vacant lots; and they constitute fire hazards on back porches and in basement area- ways. So, Waukegan held its first an nuli Twelfth Night observances, committing the trees to a commu nity bonfire amid the chorusing of carols. And the custom has waxed. Resi dents of several communities, choruses, soloists, etc., partici pating as the spirits of the Christ mas trees are dispatched to some fir Valhalla to return to bless a future Yuletide. Legends Associate Mule, Gentle Carnet of Jesus With Gift-Giving Custom Syrian legends have associated the Magic Mule and th« Gentle Camel of Jesus with gift-giving, for reasons that are at ence different, and yet similar in their association with the Christ Child. It seems a certain traveler tiad his mule to a tree when he went into an inn for refreshment oo Epiphany Eve. Just at midnight, when the boughs of the tfee bowed down in homage to the Holy In fant, the mule was caught up on the rebound and found cradled high up in the branches by its re turning master. The youngest camel of the three ridden by the Wise Men was ex hausted by the pressing journey and was blessed with immortality by the baby Jesus as it lay moan ing near the Nativity scene. and another year has passed. To us here it has been a year of accomplishment and satisfaction. But without your friendship and goodwill, and, ^ . • . the friendliness of other splendid folks like you, such achieve- k ment could not have been possible. So we say thank you.
