Christmas Tree Tips On How To Burn Down House How to let your Christmas tree be the cause of burning down your house, or let's keep the fire department busy between now and New Years that's the moral of this sad story. With tongue in cheek, Charles R. Ross, Oregon State college ex tension forestry specialist, has outlined some of the boners that others have pulled to get a house burning job done. Be an early bird; steal your tree about Thanksgiving from hsome private woodland and store it in a warm dry place where it will have a chance to dry out be fore going into the living room, when ready to decorate it, Ross adds, don't make a new, diagonal cut on the tree butt and stand in a can of water; just tack on the stand over the old cut and place it near a fireplace, radiator or warm air duct. If by this time, the tree needles are beginning to turn brown and fall, it isn't because the tree is becoming dry and a fire hazard, there's something wrong with the tree. It was sick, probably, and would have died anyway. When you plug in the tree lights, if the other house lights flicker and dim and your tree lights sputter and crackle a little (hat means you're really getting into, the swing of things. What if the circuit is overloaded, you'll only be using the lights evenings until after New Years. So let's do the decorating job right. After the lights are strung, add cotton to resemble snow. Place it around the base of the tree and close to lights and wire. Santa Claus will leave his gay, paper wrapped packages around the base of the tree, too. Christmas eve. Here's a sure fire stunt the kiddies will enjoy: there's nothing like a good old Christmas when papa lighted the tree candles and you all sat around and sang Yuletide carols and watched the house burn.

Home-Made Puffed Candy As Trimming for the Tree mm After the cooking, young hands shape the mixture of puffed wheat, molasses and nuts into large balls. Tree trims that are a treat! That the "young fry" can help to make and that they will eat right from the tree! They are special puffed wheat balls, a Christmas idea of Ruth Marie Jensh, Home Economist of Admiral-New York, and they provide a healthful goody as well as a colorful and inexpen sive tree decoration. They are easy to make and fun to make when the young sters take part in tHe ball roll ing and wrapping. The ingredients: 1 pkg. Puffed Wheat or Puffed Rice 1 cup light molasses 2 tbsp. butter V tbsp, vinegar V cup sugar 1i cup nut meats The making: Melt butter in saucepan, add sugar and molasses. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then continue cooking to 268' or until brittle when tested in cold water. Stir lightly toward last of cooking to prevent burning. Add vinegar and mix lightly. Pour mixture over puffed wheat, which, should be very crisp, and nuts. Stir until well blended. With greased hands shape into fairly large balls, pressing together firmly. The final touch is the wrap ping and the hanging on the tree. This job is essentially that of the children. The balls should be wrapped in colored trans parencies and tied to the tree with ribbons.
