Christmas trees, whether old-style or new, can be dangerous, warns the Institute for Safer Living. Special precautions should be taken to insure a safe home during this hazardous holiday season, starting with the Yule tree. If you purchase a tree from the great outdoors, cut the trunk on a slant at least one inch above the original cut; place it in water immediately and keep the water level above the cut at all times. Don't bring it into the warm drying atmosphere of the bouse until Christmas. Use a water type base that is sufficiently large and heavy (rnth water) to keep the tree from toppling over. Set it up away from sources of heat and do not block the stairway or door with it. Remove the tree when the needles start to turn brown or start to fall - if not before. Use only sets of lights that have Underwriters' Laboratories approval, reports the Insti- ^ tute for Safer Living. Oily those artificial trees and decorations made of non - combustible materials can be considered fireproof. Be wary of fire retardent chemicals or other substances sold for fireproof! ng natural trees and decorations made of combustible materials. As for artificial trees, metallic trees should never be strung with electric lights. Remember, too, that a shorted electric circuit can be as po- MARRIAGE LICENSES William A.

The pot-bellied stove was over-heated to a redorange The beautiful hymns we sang are a precious memory to this day. At home, beside the kitchen stove, stood a basket of clean cobs and a pail of coal with a small coal shoveL Behind the stove was strung a cord, where my mother hung wash on the colder days. It was also where I hung my stocking, as a child, on the Eve of St Nicolas. The next morning, I would find an orange in the heel of the sock and a banana in the toe, also a few nuts and some hard candy.
