' Safety Tips for Yule Season Everyone is busy getting ready for Christmas. Extra guests soon will be arriving. There is real excitement. In such a situation safety measures are often over looked. Let’s see what some hazards are i- the living room. Nothing is prettier than a tree decorated with bright colored lights, tinsel and colored balls. Nothing is more dangerous on a Christmas tree than lighted wax candles. The oil - filled pine needles are inflammable, and will cause a fire if a lighted candle touches the tree. Many a person decorates the fireplace mantle with fragrant pine and lighted wax candles. This, too, is very dangerous. How about the cord and con nection for the electric lights on your tree? Are they in top condi tion? It’s smart to check into these things. Never leave the tree lights burning if you are go ing to be away from home. Then, it’s always a good idea (o have extra ashtrays around, for with added holiday guests, more smoking is usually done. Save a possible burn in the rug, on a table, or even worse dam age, a fire. Falls may be caused by trip ping over toys. Do your children fully understand about picking up their toys, after they are Pastor Speaks on 'Many Blessings'— EWING— The union Thanks giving service held at the Ewing Methodist church on Wednesday evening, November 25, was well attended.

Skates, miniature/ cars, trucks and other toys, left in a hall, on the stairs, or on the floor in any room for that maiter, may prove dangerous—the cause of broken bones. In case your son receives; a bow and arrow set, a gun, or hunting knives for Christmas, be sure his father or another adult goes along on his hunting trips, until the boy learns the safe way to handle such equipment. A few lessons now will help to save his life later. If you have to reach up in the cupboard for some left - over Christmas decorations or other supplies, use a sturdy chair or ladder for high climbing. Safety measures outside of the house are important, too. If the weather is stormy during the holidays, see that the porch steps are cleaned off, and all the ice or snow removed. Sand or ashes can be spread on the steps and sidewalk to make walking easier . . and safer. A safe Christmas is a happy Christmas, and a happy Christ mas is one you will remember all year ’round.
