JREE-F1RE WARNING OUT
'State Insurance Department Asks
tor Christmas Precautions.
Harvey "Wells, State Insurance Cora
"jnlssioner, has sent out his annual
'-warning to g-uard againet possible fires
"due to Christmas celebrations. The
dangers that lurk. In the candle-lighted
Christmas tree are proverbial and have
"raused much damap-e and the loss of
-many lives. Mr. Wells -warning for
this year followe:
Heretofore the Insurance Department of
Oregon has issued a Christmas warning- con-'-talnlng
many "don'ts.'" but we now feel that
' The citizens of our state have heeded these
-w.-nin- to the extent that we will net re-
"peat them, only we will ask you to take
T wvery precaution as:alnt possible fires In
decorating the Christmas trse, the church.
or any public place where Christmas enter
tainments will be held.
Try to eliminate the highly Inflammable
material that is usually used for decorations.
ana do not permit the small children to light
candles on the Christmas tree, as they fre
quently set fire te their clothing, and the
tree Itself wlIF burn, as It Is highly in
flammable. When the candles are lighted
on the tsee the doors should remain closed,
because of the danger from drafts swaying
the branches. Watch the gas Jets to protect
curtains and clothing, and don't make the
slightest change in electric wiring without
consulting an electrical inspector. An elec
tric bulb will set fire to anything too near it.
Use a little common sense and fore
thought, and you will do your part in pre
venting the happiest day In the year for
children from being turned into one of
sorrow and suffering.
