A pat on the back fo r kids To the Editor, I would like to thank the people who took the time to help make our Warm Springs PTA table a success at the Christmas Bazaar. Whether it was your time you donated to help, or items made, it was greatly appreciated and for an excellent purpose. Also, the Warm Springs E le m e n ta r y C h r is tm a s Program was terrific. The behavior of the young people is something to be proud of. The courtesy and respect given to my Aunt and Uncle by some teenage ladies was a beautiful thing to see. I see many outstanding children and I hope the people in their lives allow them to realize how great they are. Parrline Macy Warm Springs PTA Parent Use decorations carefully this season While fire safety is a year round practice, it must be in the forefront during the Christmas holiday season. These are some important tips to consider 1. Christmas tree lights should be inspected for frayed wires before placing on the tree. 2. Never leave open sockets on tree lights. Replace broken lights or cover sockets. Unplug lights before going to bed or leaving home. 3. Keep tree in a sugar water solution to avoid drying. 4. Avoid the use of candles except where completely safe. 5. Do not overload electrical outlets. 6. Inspect chair and sofa cushions for cigarette butts after guests leave. 7. Install smoke detectors or make sure your existing smoke detectors are working properly. 8. B uy a n A B C f ir e extinguisher. W here Fire extinguishers are used, they put out 97 percent of all fires. GIFT GIVING—Christmas spirit includes giving gifts. Many people spend much time wrapping packages in brightly colored paper. wrapping in wood stove, burn only dry seasoned fire wood. Avoid a tragedy in your home this holiday season. Please follow the above lips and have a blessed and Merry Christmas. Please call us at Fire and Safety (553-1634) for more information and/ or a free inspection.
