National Board of Fire Underwriters. ; 1 For-several days, each year, this" custom fills many homes with more people than normally live there. Some of them may have different fire safety habits. All are in a holiday mood, which may. . jnake . . them . less careful than usual. Add to that the fact that tthe "usual winter lire haz ards are present greater ' than at any. other season. . If you are playing host this year the National Board sug gests you take a few basic pre cautions before the first guest arrives: ' .. . 1. Make sure there are plenty of ashtrays strategically located in every room in the house. '2. See that the stove is clean and ready for the big cooking job ahead. . 3. If some of your guests will be children, put all matches, cig arette lighters and other danger ous objects safely out of their reach. . i As long as your company stays, keep these safety tips in mind: ; ' . 5 " ' 1. If you're heating more rooms than usual,, don't try . to "force" your furnace if it wonH take the added -load. Call - an experienced repairman instead. 2. Keep portable heaters away from combustibies,r and also out of people's way. 3. Keep order in the kitchen. Several extra people all offering to help can cause a "traffic jam" in which someone may lean too far over a lighted' burner, or tip over a pot of scalding liquid. . 4. If more electrical appli ances than usual are being used space heaters, for example don't overload circuits. Fifteen ampere fuses are the safe size for most household circuits, and if a fuse blows some appliances should be switched to another outlet. . Guests have responsibilities, too. If you: are going to be a rti.act inafoaH of a host, see that you and your entire family are on your best tire-saieiy oeiwv 4ai t is lso wise to be pre- tnr an emergency. Just as you always note , the location of the nearest lire escape i hotel, when you are an over night guest in someone's home figure out two ways of reaching the ground, from the - room' in which you sleep. - ' Wishes Would Load Santa Claus Down Toronto (U.R) K the law of supply and demand works nut hi vear.
