L. C. Smith: “Throw me a dozen of Christmas Hazards Eliminated You can do a lot to make your Christmas tree the safe scene of hap py hours. Too often it has been the center of tragedy. The following are some suggestions to follow in order to eliminate the hazard caused by Christmas trees and other decorations: a. Anchor the tree securely. b. Put the tree in water to prevent dryness. c. Attach electric lights to a wall socket, rather than to a lamp socket or chandelier. d. Properly repair old sets of lights. e. Do not place trees near fireplac- es or stoves. f. Do not use cotton or other in- flammable decorations without fire- proofing them. g. Use metal waste paper baskets for discarded gift wrappings. h. Do not allow people with lighted cigarettes to get too near the tree. Suggestions, as follows, have been sent out by the Army Service Forces giving directions for making fire re sistant Christmas decorations. “A mixture of 10 oz. of borax pow der and 10 oz. of boric acid in 1 gal lon of hot water applied by dipping or spraying, is a suitable treatment for fabrics and other decorative mater ials which are not exposed to the weather and where a soluble fire “NOT MUCH TIME LEFT TO CONNECT TO THE HERMISTON SEWER BE FORE WINTER SETS IN. THE SMART THING IS TO DO IT NOW ....!” Estimates on Request Phone 3101 Frank Sargent Hermiston, Oregon proofing agent may accordingly be used. Fabrics so treated do not be come dusty or feel damp. The treat ment does not affect colors, is non- poisonous and does not promote decay. A mixture of half borax powder and half boric acid is more effective than either borax powder or boric acid alone. Impregnation to the extent of 10 per cent of the weight of the fabric is the minimum recommended. The Christmas tree may also be sprayed with the mixture of borax powder and boric acid. Dennison’s flame-proof paper should be used for displays requiring use of paper, If flame-proof paper is not readily ob- tainable for decorative purposes the paper used should be carefully spray ed with the borax powder, boric acid, and water solution to be fire resis tant."
