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.

Founders' Day at Friendship
A.M.E. Church of Clinton on Sun
day afternoon. 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

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.
