Fire Chief W,. P. Roble of Salem stressed in a holiday warning this week. "Remember when you bring a tree into your home, it is going to dry up." the chief said. "A fresh cut tree will not take fire any more easily during the first day or two than would the evergreen shrubs growing outside, but it becomes a more serious fire haz ard every hour. At the end of a week it will be highly inflamm able. It is best to bring, in a fresh tree as short a time before Christ mas as possible, and to remove it as soon afterwards as you can. "The tree can be kept fresh if you set it in a container of water. Cut off the base of the tree at an angle at least one inch above the original cut and keep it standing Jn water during the entire period that the tree is in the house, add ing water to the container at in tervals to keep the water level al ways above the cut." Chief Roble added these ad- If any Keep the tree outdoors until about the xeady to install it. Do not set the tree up until a few days before Christmas. Place the tree in the coelest 4 r i v.

If lights are desired in windows. tree Under no circumstance use any cotton or paper for decoration unless such decorations have been flameproofed. Flameproofed deco rations can be purchased at many stores. A simple formula for "flame proofing" is made up of 9 ounces cf borax and 4 ounces of boric acid to one gallon of water. The article to be treated should be well saturated with the solution, drained and let to dry. Applica tion may be by dipping, brushing r spraying. Such formula is not pulled back at least, six inches from any light. The tree should be well secured against falling and so placed that, standing or fallen, it cannot block a doorway which might be needed to escape from the room.

Neuner Rules On Payment of School Fund The last naif of the state and county school fund may be dis tributed to the respective counties of the state anytime between Oc tober 15 and April 15, Attorney General George Neuner ruled Fri day. The opinion was requested by Secretary ol State Earl T. Newbry. Tho Statesman, Salem, Orocjon, Sunday. December 12. 1948-7 based on a letter from Roy . Cannon, Multnomah county school superintendent, in connection with liquidation of the Vanport school district Under the law the first half distribution must be made on or before October 15. Neuner further held that the entire last half payment must be made at one time. Cannon, in hit letter to the attorney general, said he was in doubt as to whether the second half payment could be made until April 13 which would delay the Vanport school district ' liquidation.
