An addition to the expanding line of jeep 4-wheel drive utility vehicles, the FC-150 is engineered with new design features which combine to provide maximum cargo space in relation to a compact, highly maneuverable 81-inch wheelbase. The "up front" location of the cab places the driver in the ideal position for all-direction visibility and vehicle control.

"Fires across the nation have killed twenty-three persons, most of them children, on the eve of the Christmas holiday celebration. "All but ten of the fire victims were children eagerly awaiting the excitement and gifts of Christmas." That was last year. Will it happen again this year? And the saddest thing is that such tragedies often occur around the Christmas holiday--sometimes even around the Christmas tree itself--at the happiest time of the year. The reason the tree burns sov fiercely and so rapidly is because it's filled with pitch .and resin-- among the most combustible substances known. \ What can you do about the tree? First of all, the National Board of Fire Underwriters suggests that you select a small one. There will be 30,000,000 on the market. Some 4,000,000 Christmas trees reach retail outlets in New York state alone. It's best to keep the tree outdoors until a few days before setting it up. During that time occasionally throw water over it. This will keep it moist, fresh. When you bring the tree inside, cut the butt slantwise to open the pores, then stand it in a tub of water. Be wary of chemicals or other substances sold for "fireproofing" trees. In some cases this process is ineffective. In placing the tree, the National Board advises that you avoid "hot spots" such as those near the fireplace, stove, television set, radiator or electric bulbs. Never, warns the National Board, use untreated paper ornaments or untreated cotton batting or gauze for decoration. Cotton and gauze can be made flameresistive by dipping in a gallon of water mixed with nine ounces of borax and four ounces of boric add. v Also,, use only electric lights, never candles. Be sure, too, that 'Wires are in good condition and Itear the UL tag denoting Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., which sfiows they have been tested for safety. Frayed electric cords, the National Board points out, are a fire hazard. The switch for turning on the tree lights should be placed some distance from the tree. Never use outlet or plug under the tree or run electric trains around the base. Army administration course at J'ort Leonard Wood, Mo.

Trips on raffic Safety CHARLES F. CARPENTIER Sccrctary of State Improved highways in the state now allow Illinois motorists to travel at higher speeds while maintaining a safe rate of speed. However, there are some motorists who attempt to travel at speeds designed for superhighways when they are motoring on secondary roads. When no speed limit is posted the motorist must rely on his own judgment as to how fast he should travel while keeping his vehicle at a safe, speed. Conditions on an open, fourlane highway may call for a certain top safe speed, but the same conditions on a two lane road would demand that the motorist keep his speed well below that figure.
