* I'. 20—THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C, Dumber 12, 1968 The Spicy Life Christmas Trees Can Be Dangerous CLEMSON - Christmas trees should bring happiness—not heartaches. Unfortunately, says Clemson Extension forester S. A. Marbut, many people continue year after year to ignore basic rules. And many homes suffer the tragedy of fires when they should be ex periencing the season of happi ness. The first safety rule, says Marbut, is moisture. “Variety is the spice of life," runs the saying. There’s much to be said for both variety and spice w hen it comes to menu- making. Next time ham, roast pork, or poultry are on your agenda, take a cue from South African food and serve Spiced Raisin Rice. It’s fragrant with cinnamon, lemon rind, and tur- meric; Minute Rice absorbs the rich flavors and makes its prep aration speedy. Spiced Hai-in Rice 1 1 teaspoon turmeric 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups packaged enriched pre-cooked rice 2 tablespoons sugar 2 cups water cup raisins teaspoon salt -2-1 S/4 -3 4 1 2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind Combine water, raisins, salt, cinnamon, lemon rind, turmeric, and butter in saucepan. Rring to a l>oil. Stir in rice. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over rice; toss with a folk to mix. Makes about 1 cups or fl servings.

The chapter has members in Greenville, Laurens, Greenwood and Abbeville coun ties. The Rev. James 0. Rich, pas tor of St. Paul Baptist Church of Anderson, was the nuin speaker. Rev^ich, a* A4pha, challenged the members of the Greek or ganization to rise to the tasks confronting them in our chang ing social order. Because they were blessed with opportunities denied many of their fellow-bre thren, the minister stated, Alpha men, representing the oldest Greek letter organization among Negroes in America, should in volve themselves in community affairs aimed at uplifting our communities. "Growing long hair“, the minister declared, “is not a solution to Negro problems in America." “It is what's under Area Ersltine Alumni Reach 95% Of Godl DUE WEST-TheClinton-Lau rens .Chapter of the Erskine Col lege'Alumni Association, under the chairmanship ofMr. andMrs. Mills Hodge, 104 Brookwood Drive, Laurens, has reached 95 per cent participation in the 1968- 69 Erskine Living Endowment Campaign.

Christmas Seal Donations Up An increase in Christmas Seal donations was reported to the executive committee of the Tu berculosis and HealthAssocia- tion of Area Six at their recent meeting. The latest campaign fig ures show a total of $21,892.72. This is an increase of approxi mately $3,608.37 over last year’s figure at this time. “We’re aiming for a total of $36,000 this year so we still need to remind area citizens of this opportunity to fight tuber culosis, emphysema, and other diseases affecting breathing." said the president, Richard W. Stowe. If a tree isn’t to be put up right away, it should be kept in a cool place out of the sun and sprinkled with water fre quently. When it is put up, it should be sawed off at a 30- degree angle to expose new wood and the base placed in water in the house. It should be set up away from fireplaces, radiators, television sets, or other sources of beat. Danger must also be considered if the tree should topple over. A new tree may "drink" up a quart of water a day, so the container should be checked dai ly, Marbut reminds. Another repeated warning is on Christmas tree lighting. Be sure they carry UL, the safety seal of Underwriters’ Laboratories. In stringing the tree, try to keep lights from touching needles. Each bulb puts out heat, and if they are in contact with needles, they could start a fire. Follow these simple rules, says Marbut, and it will bo a long way toward keeping Christmas safe and happy.
