A tree contains natural resins which ignite easily and burn readily, the national board reminded. If proper precautions are taken, however, fire may be avoided.

Use a tree stand which has a water container in which the trunk can rest. Most trees “drink” water fairly fast, so fill the water container daily. All Christmas tree decorations should be flameproof. Use only decorations made of glass, metal or fire-resistant material. Electric trains should be set up (Continued on Page 7)
