That Christmas tree you are

are easily ignited and burn fur
iously, tests made by Underwrit
ers' Laboratories, Inc.. have dem
onstrated. Chief Roble stressed that there
no way to fireproof a Christ
mas tree, but offered a recipe for
solution that will safeguard
many r inflammable decorations
and children's costumes.
The rinse consists of 9 ounces
of borax, four ounces of boric
acid and one gallon of warm wa
ter. Dissolve the borax in half
the water, mix the boric acid
with the other haL then com
bine, said Roble. Anything that'i
safe in water can be rinsed in the
solution.
Roble recalled that Christmas
decorations contributed to one of
the worst fire disasters in modern
times when 99 people died at a
party in Newfoundland in 1942.
He also noted that 10 Dersons

Here arc some other sugges
tions Chief Robl listed for
safer holiday:
Chose a small tree. It mill be
less hazardous. Keep the tree out
doors until a few days befor
Christmas. Then set it up.
Place the tree In the coolest
part of the bouse. Do not u
candles, do not place electric
trains around the tree, and donl
leave tree lights burning when no
one is in the house.
Remove all wrappings from the
house soon after presents are
opened.
