i Follow These Simple Precautions | a To Avoid Accidents at Christmas s W—— —M I.ll.lnaw—l——f ——fifi 'T'WE tradiUoaiUy joyous Christmas holiday! art marred for many faml- * baa by tragic accidanta resuking directly from holiday festiviHri By following these simple, logical precautions, you ean make sure that none ot these mishaps occur in your home. Many ot the Christmas accidents center around the Christmas tree. Most of the strings ot lights decorating thia season's trees hare beets pi use for three or four ■ years because of wdrtime conservation measures. Broken Insulation and loose wires at the socket are dangerous. If you have done some amateur wiring, such as joining two strings ot lights together, be sure that the joinings are wrapped sufficiently in electrie wiring tape to prevent accidents. Although Christmas candles are appearing more and more rarely on trees, they are still taking a yearly toll of lives aud accidents. Open flame lighting is dangerous at Its boat and must be accompanied by numerous and constant precautions If disaster is to be avoided. It is better to have no lights at all, than to risk costly fires from candles. Toys, intended to enchant the youngsters at Christmas, can bo another potential source of accidents. It la therefore wise to look over your children’s toys and see that they are safe to play with. The best-meaning uncle or aunt could have picked out • toy with a rough edge, a sharp corner or a splintery handle. It is also wise to look over your youngster’s toys and pick out the ones that are not suitable for his age. A two-year-old with a tool chest, tor Instance, ean do damage to both himself and his baby brother, if given a free hand with a hammer and saw. While the litter from Christmas packages is still about, be particularly careful of your smoking. Some hot ashes dropped on thin tissue paper or a carelessly tossed match could result in serious damage. Unless your Christmas tree decorations are guaranteed fireproof, they, too, can be a source of danger.

JX Mp The true meaning of Christmas is best £ manifest by the cheerful atmosphere and . t the friendly associations of those about us. It is the time of good fellowship and .• the thoughtful consideration of others. \ May this happiness be yours to enjoy/W f not only at Christmas but during every M j f day of the coming year. «*' IglE TV ’* ) i \ / Sprague Furniture Co.
