DOwManl MAKE CHRISTMAS FREE FROM FIRE Bombs will brtng death and de- struction to many British homes this Christmastide. In many Can- adian homes this Christmas, death and destruction may be brought not by bomba but by the celebra- tion of Christmas itself, the most festive season ti the democratic world. At Christmas time numer- ous fire hazai-ds are introduced int o homes, stores and public places that do flot ordinarily exist. Every year ti Canada women and littie children lose their lives or are scarred for lif e from fires starting ti Christmas decorationg, trees, lighting, etc. This is the warning issued by the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office. Those persons decorating halls, çhurches and public places should use particular care ti their choice of decorations. Only materials made of metal, glass andi asbestos should be used. Packing matertal and rubbish accumulates much more rapidly at this turne and should therefore be disposed ofj at more frequent titervals. In1 any case, merchants should guard1 against obstructlng any exit facili- tics durlng this season when the shopping crowds are larger than is..a TD Ta VA The Christmnas tree ttself de- mands particular attention. It shouid flot be placed near ariy source of heat, such as radiators, ffre places or stoves and should be well-secured against falling. The tree should be so placed that standing or falling, it will not block a doorway or exit and thus prevent the escape of anyone. # Lights for the tree should be only of the approved electric type and in no case should candies lbe used or smoking permitted near any Christmnas tree. After a tree is brought into the home it hourly becomes drier and therefore more easily tgnited. The correct choice of toys may mean much to the littie ones ti the homes. Those made of ceilu- ld may be ignited without com- ing in actuai contact with flame and when once igntted they burn wtth such rapidity that a child's clothing ta nearly always set afire before they can dispose of them.
