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

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."
