The Yule log tradition is mak­
ing a comeback as more and more
of today's modern homes are de­
signed with open fireplaces as
well as central heating and gas
stoves.
For those who have a place to
burn a Yule log and want one,
tradition says that it should be
oak, ash, olive, apple or pine.
Whatever type you choose or may
be able to acquire, get plenty of
wood
Ash is highly desirable since it
can be used without being sea­
soned.
It burns quickly, and
throws off plenty of heat. Pop­
lar. on the other hand, will spark
badly if unseasoned.
Elm is less desirable since it is
slow to get started. However, it
lasts a long time and brightens
up when it gets going. A few
logs of birch, pine or fir will help
it along.
Beech and oak are among the
best logs. Beech has a pleasant
aroma and gives off steady glow
If none of these are available,
select wood from some kind of
fruit tree. Such wood gives off a
pleasant smell when burning.
Also, manufactured logs can
now be purchased that are treat­
ed to burn with a colored flame.
