Christmas Parties

, 'What's Wrong With .This Picture?

'0 The .Christmas· tree should not be placed against curtains' ordrapes.

o ~ever use candles for ·tree Hghts, and take care that othercandles are not placed where the flame may set something on fire.

Listed b~low are the most frequent violations of fire safety in thehome during the holiday season. Can you find them in the picture andmatch them numerically with the description?

o ~ 0 . Car~less h~ndling of cigarettes, matches and lighte;s near thetree or anywhere in the house could lead to disaster.

.0 Don't be a firebug; don't overload wiring circuits, and c!0n't'set'up.electric trains or spirit-fueled toys under or near the tree.

Friday, December :12,- 1958 ..,4 _ _ _ _ ~ __

, ' .0 Fray~d. wires, broken sockets or loose conuections .on the light.s'are mighty dangerous. Check )'ours, and if replacements are necessary,buy only UL (Underwriter's 'Laboratories) approved sets.

_ -0 ,A dry Christmas tree is a great fire hazard; keep the trunk of~')'ours in water at all times, '

If you do not receive a Christmas card from an old or close friend-;- -from' this community' this year, do not assume that your friendship

.has ,been severed. 'They' may be participating in the "Baskets-Not

.Cards" program which is being 'initiated locally this year., .. The idea is to contribute the' money which would be spent for

·postage and cards between friends in the community to a fund to pro­'vide Christmas baskets for underprivileged children in this area.. . Originally suggested by Eldon Williams' of Weapons Development-Department and officially approved as a within department policy, ,theplan is intended to operate on a voluntary basis. ., Considerable interest in the plan was evidenced at a meeting ofthe Departmental Staff Assistants Council on December 5. 'CaptainH. B. Hahn, Executive Officer, and H. G. Wilson, Associate TechnicalDirector have both expressed favorable interest indicating the necessityfor making it an informal and voluntary matter. ~.!

Several departments are now in the process of designating collec­tion points. The funds will be submitted to Sara Chedester, Code 1702,Room 201, Administration Building. Collections will then be given toDr. Max Dubin to be distributed to the Christmas Basket committeesof the Desert Family Service Agency, and the Desert Area EmergencyRelief Agency. _ .

,The pl:l;n has additional advantages: it will lighten the workloadat the local post office, expediting the delivery of off-Station mail, andwill relieve the burden'of the footsore and heavily-laden mailman.

,Q 0 G~ft \\Tappings are combustible; ~ckages should not be placedtoo near electric lights and uSlCd wrappings s.hould be discarded imme­diately. Some toys too, as well as clothing, may catch fire.
