I That tree is highly combust- ' Q)le. Pilled with pitch, and resin, $ ft will ignite very easily and bdfn so ftfrioualy that it is al- - most impossible to extinguish. Bringing it into the home brings iA a definite and serious fire hfesard. To miiUmise the danger, the National Board of Fire Underwriters suggests some simple bflt effective safety precautions: 1. Choos a small tree. It's just at: pretty and is less of a hazard than a large tree. 2. Keep it Outdoor* until a • fdAy or two before Clwistmas. f 3. When yon set it up, stand _ It in water ... or use a live ^tfee in a pot of. earth. 4. £lace the tree in the coolest 4 pfcrt of the house, away from radiators, heaters or fireplaces. Don't let it block an exit. If it mttot go near a radiator, turn i&at radiator off. 5. Never use cotton or paper fe decorations on or under the Be unless they are flameproof. 6. Never smoke or lay a cigarette, pipe or cigar down near the tree. 7. Don't set up electric trains under the tree, 6. Never trim It with candles; use only electric lighting- sets. Be sure every wire and socket i* fit good condition. When buying hWw sets, look for the UL. label wWch means they have passed Underwriters' Laboratories tests fire and shock safety. ; 9. Provide a switch some die* tsace from the tree for turning tree lights uff and on. Never leave them burning when no one lit home. 10. Inspect the tree from time to time to see if needles hear any of the lights have started to turn brown. If so, move the lights. 11. Don't let gift wrappings pile up near or UH&r tJSTtree, or anywhere In the MM*. Tfcffcw them away as soon H the p»Ki ents have been opened. 12. When needles start to fall, take your tree down< apd diiwd it outdoors.
