Fire Chief Urges
Care Over Festive
Christmas Season

Fire Chief Art Gardner this
week issued a. warning to all resi-
dents to be on’ guard against fire
during the holiday. season,

Special attention should be
given decorations, Christmas trees,
candles and other ornaments
which may be used for parties.

The chief also stated that while
carbon dioxide is a valuable ex-
tinguishing agent it can provide
a hazard if subjected .to heat.
See that it is located in a cool
place, he says, and do not forget
that the rays of the sun can cause
the gas to expand sufficiently to

cause-an explosion if relief valves:

are defective.: .
Christmas trees are.

safest
when kept fresh.

The ‘tree can

“be-kept fresh. if placed in a pan

of water. Cut off at base at an
angle and keep.the tree in water
while it is‘in the house.

of Agriculture, winter should- be

The. resting period. is naturally
induced by the shortened days and

lowered temperatures. With many

plants. this. slowing process may
be imperceptible, with others it is
distinct and unmistakable. -Bulb-
ous plants are an instance of com-
plete rest. Many house plants will
cease to bloom and others will do
so. feebly. Most of these which
will flower at this season have
been conditioned or prepared for
blooming during the preceding
months of summer or autumn.
Recognition of the above facts
indicates the winter treatment.
All practices which tend to stimu-
