Fisher Mantis Disrupting Influence Letters, Cards And Presents For Baby HOLLYWOOD (UP)—The mßst disrupting influence in staid Beverly Hills these days is a blond beauty named Carrie Fisher, aged 6 weeks. Carrie, as devotees of America’s sweethearts know, is the firstborn of Debbie and Eddie and has caused even more commotion in the suburb than when the city threatened to chop down the palm trees. The mailman staggers in the Fisher home daily under a burden of letters, cards and hand made elaborate presents from doting fans. Fisher also staggers home daily under a burden of presents for his baby. The sight-seeing buses wait with loads of tourists tor the nurse to wheel little Carrie down the street.

front tor a peek. i The biggest item in the baby’s room is a life-sized stuffed baby elephant from Papa Fisher. “A lot of tans sent toys, especially musical toys, and stuffed giraffes and teddy bears,” said Eddie. "We have enough presents to open a baby shop. It’s amazing the way people make gifts with their own hands, such as booties and caps.” “Most of the gifts come from married couples and older people,” added his wife. “One 78-year old woman sent an embroidered white dress she made.” Little Carrie receives thousands of cards from fans. Her mother, who apparently appreciates the benefits of being a star, saves them all for her daughter to enjoy some day. The cards are stored inside another gift, from producer Mike Todd. He sent the baby the huge carpetbag that Cantinflas carries in “Around the World in 80 Days.” “I’m going to paste the cards in a scrapbook and show her when she’s a teen-ager and say, ‘See all the commotion you caused’.” Debbie laughed. is a Spanish word meaning snow-dad.

Urges Proper Cara Os Christmas Tree Fire Chief Issues Best Precautions Fire chief Cedric Fisher issued a reminder today to Decatur residents on the necessity of taking groper care of Christmas trees, which constitute a major fire hazard during the holiday season. He offered a method of making the trees fire resistant. His suggestion is as follow: add a teacupful of ammonium sulphate (fertilizer grade) for each pint of water and use one pint of the solution for each two pounds of tree. Make a fresh cut across the trunk of the tree so that the chemical will contact fresh wood. Weigh the tree to determine the amount of solution needed. Put the solution in a pail and set the tree in the pail, placing it in a cool place for five days. The degree of fire resistance depends on the amount of solution absorbed. Fisher also listed 12 suggestions ■ of the national board of fire un- • derwriters for preventing Christ- ! mas tree fires: i 1. Choose a small tree. It is less > dangerous than a large one. 2. Do not set it up until a few | days before Christmas. Until then, ’ keep it outdoors. This will keep it ■ moist and fresh. I 8. Place it in the coldest part of the house, away from fire-places > and radiators. Do not let it block > an exit. : 4. Stand it in water or use a live i tree planted in a tub of earth. ’ 5. Never used untreated cotton 1 or untreated paper for the decora- • tion on or around the tree. f 6. Do not put electric trains un- ) der the tree. i 7. Use only electric lights, never candles,- and see that the wires are » not frayed. Be sure that the wiring i sets for the lights you use have 1 been tested for safety 8. Provide a switch some distance from the tree for turning tree lights off and on. Do not plug I or unplug them beneath the tree. 9. Throw away all gift wrappings

as soon m the presents have been . opened. Do eet tot them pUe np I near the troe. \ 10. Do not taeve the Ughto burning when no one to home. 11. If needles near the lights turn I brown, move the lights. 12. When needles start to fall, 1 take the tree down and discard | it. ' Fisher concluded by stating that I every year Christmas tragedies I occur because these precautions I were not taken. He pointed out that | the tree is filled with pitch and I resin, among the most combust- I ible substances known, and for I that reason great care is neces- I sary. , .
