BEST, SAYS SAFETY COUNCIL
By CHARLES E. SCOTT,
. rrenidcnt of the National Safety Council,
Written for the United News
o.iCpyriht 1925 Unitud Newa)
CHICAGO. Dec. 23.-Beware of an indiscreet Christ
mag celebration.
Around the Christmas tree many an accident has hap
pened which has turned merriment into mourning.
Safety in the use of Christmas trees may be assured
by the exercise of common sense.
If the tree is to be lighted up use only incandescent
lamps. Candles or other open flames are exceedingly
dangerous, especially if the tree is dried out. The tree
should not be decorated with any inflammable materials,
such as paper or cotton. Use metallic tinsel, or other
non-inflammable decorations only and set the tree se
curely, no that the children in reaching for things cannot
tip it over.
Do not use cotton to represent snow. If you must
have snow use powdered mica or asbestos fibre. Do not
allow trees to remain inside the building after the holi
days. The tree ignites readily when the needles have
become dry.
The danger of fire cannot be stressed too strongly.
Every year many children are burned to death. Most of
these fires are caused by candles igniting the trees or
curtains near the tree.
In all public gatherings every precaution should be
taken to assure the safety of those present. Exits should
be marked plainly and all passage wa's to doors should
be free of all obstructions. ,
Thirty-three persons, most of them children under 15
years of age, were burned or trampled to death in the
little school house at Babb's Switch, Okla., a year ago
Christmas eve. This fire was caused by candles and it
so happened that the tree had been placed in front of,
and blocking one of the two exits. The windows were
barred and those who escaped did so through the one
narrow door, which opened inward, and over the bodies
of those less fortunate than themselves.
Ambrose Issues Warning
Keith Ambrose, chief of the Klamath Falls fire
department yesterday issued a warning to local residents
having to do with the care of Christmas trees.
More than 30 deaths resulted from tree fires during
the Vuletide season last year, Ambrose pointed out.
Persons with some knowledge of electrical work
should take care of the trees if they are wired. Candles
are dangerous, when inflammable materials are near the
blaze. , ,
After Christmas, the trees should be removed as early
as possible, Ambrose said.

Charles Grove Loses
Hunting Party
HAS HARD EXPERIENCE
Catches Ride Home With
Other Hunters As
. Search Starts
To hare been lost nearly 12 hours
In the raatness of the treacherous
Tule lake country and lost while
almost constantly within shouting
distance of friends who sought vain
ly to locate him was the experi
ence yesterdey of Charles Grove.;
2028 Wantland avenue, who last
night returned to Klamath Falls Just
as a searching party was about to
leave to begin a new quest for him.
Grove, accompanied by Vernon
Moore, of this city, and Roy Prultt
of Medford, left Klamath Falls In
the blackness ot the morning yester
ady. The fog hnng heavily, and it
was only a short time after the trio
reached the vicinity ot Tule lake
that Grove became separated from
hla companions.
Daylight found Moore and Prultt
a trifle apprehensive,, yet positive
that, within a short time, they would
attain meet Grove. They shouted.
They could hear no answer. They
discharged their guns.
Heard Shots.
Grove, realizing he was lost, yet
hearing the shots, stumbled confi
dently In their direction. The go
ing was1 extremely difficult, and mud
and' fog combined to make It un-'
pleasant as he wandered on.
Later in the day Grove's two com
panions abandoned their hunting,
feeling real concern for Grove'a wel
fare. Throughout the day and Into
the evening they continued their
search.
Last night Moore returned to
Klamath Falls, prepared to arrange
a searching party and return. And
it was but a few minutes before they
were to leave that Grove, picked up
by another group of hunters, ar
rived here, very weary, but un
harmed. "Wasn't a bad day for me," Grove
commented last night. "I knew I
waa safe. And, incidentally, I got
the limit in geese." .
