Army Asks Folks
To Be Careful With Fire
Residents of the West today
were called upon by the Army to
further support the war effort dur
ing the nation’s fourth war-time
Christmas season by preventing
the traditional Yule tree from in
advertently aiding the enemy.
Major General William E.
Shedd, commanding general of the
Ninth Service Command, from his
Fort Douglas, Utah, headquarters,
urged all householders in the eight
Western States to safeguard lives
and property and prevent the holi
day season from becoming one of
tragedy by flame-proofing all
Christmas tree decorations.
In addition, he declared, in view
of the non-manufacture of tree
light-strings for a considerable
time, persons should be certain
that all electrical fixtures are prop
erly installed and in good condi
tion.
That decorations are not allowed
to come in contact with light
globes.
General Shedd, in extending the
season’s greetings to all military
personnel stationed within the
command and civilian residents of
the far Western states, suggested
that the command safety director’s
recommendation for fire-proofing
trees be followed to assure a safe
holiday season.
The flame-proofing solution may
be made by mixing 10 ounces of
borax powder and 10 ounces of
boric acid in one gallon of hot
I
water.

Douglas.
“All government agencies have
been requested to refrain, except
in cases of extreme emergency,
from granting annual leave to em
ployes, where travel would be in
volved, between December 15 and
January 8,” said Major General
William E. Shedd, commanding
general.
Curtailment of all government
business travel during this period
has been requested. So far as is
possible, without impairment of
the war effort, the calling of meet
ings involving travel by govern
ment employes during this period ;
is being avoided.
No increase in the usual maxi- I
mum of 15 per cent of military
personnel to be on furlough at
one time has been authorized. Such
leaves are granted so that they
will not begin on either December ]
