The older clitliiren are always eager to trim the Christmas tree. collect Christmas greciis. and make wreaths.

One thing father and mother should renieiiibcr is to watch for signs of fatigue or nervous strain in the yoiinucr children. They should not ask the children to do too many or too difficult tasks.

An evai mate: tragedy is that Imost of these firea could have lbeen avoided by following a few islmple rules. A little extra care may save I home-yours.

Two factors contribute to the Q8589! 0! the Christmas Season flrslly. added decorations are too often not flameproofed. Secondly -the increased tempo of entertain- ment increases the hazard from misplaced cigarette butts and gift

tinder if ignited,

Let'I look It I few safety sug- gestinns:

g 1. Use flameproofed decorations. 1'07 greatest safety. many iiianu- facturers produce flamep uuf inat- erials that were tested and classi- lled by Underwriters' Laboratories. and these products bear the t'ani- iliar Underwriters label as your guide to safety.

2. In selecting the tree pick one that is small. A small, vi'cll-foriiied tree can be decorated easier and -more attractively than a large one and does not produce the siiiiie hazard. To preserve the tree. place it in water or moist earth. there- by k9EDl . the needles from dry- ing out. Dry Christmas tree needles are a dangerous fire hazard and a dry tree should not be given liiiuse room, To further help preservi- your tree. keep it in a cool corner away from drafts.

3. Avoid decorations of paper and candles on the tree. Here again. many of the electrical. decorations and Christmas tree lights bear the
