Jim Toop and Gary Cummings' second goal in the final two BY BERT CLIFFORD Clinton beat Listowel 7-3 in a hard, rough Intermediate B match last Thursday which Any old tree comes radiantly .to life with the addition of bright Christmas decorations, right? Wrong, says Clinton Fire Chief Grant Rath. Unless special care is taken in the choice of a Christmas tree, he warns, a happy holiday can turn in a flash through a blaze into terrible tragedy. The chief urges the public to follow these rules when shopping for a natural tree: First be sure the tree is green and fresh. To check this, test twigs and needles to ensure they are not dried out. Keep the tree outdoors or in an unheated garage until it is time to set it tip indoors. Then, cut one or two inches diagonally from the butt with a saw, and set up the tree in a stand which allows for immersion of the butt in water. Maintain the water level to cover the butt. Set up the tree away from any source of heat such as a fireplace, radiator, stove or TV set: Do not allow it to block access to any door or window. Never smoke near the tree, nor allow matches or candles nearby. Check strings of electric lights for frayed cords or damaged insulation 'Which might cause short circuits. Only lighting sets bearing the Canadian Standards Association label should be bought, and only non-flammable decorations. "Flameproofing" of natural trees• with chemical mixtures is not a safe substitute for immersion of the butt in water, minutes gave the Clinton chit) a 0-2 victory, SQUIRTS In Kinsmen Squirt hockey last week; Robert Taylor led the way with two 'goals in the 3-1 Red Wing defeat pf the Rangers. Jim Moan scored the other for the Wings with Wayne Ducharme scoring for the losers, GIRLS HOCKEY .F re s Flyers remain undefeated after three weeks of play. Capt, Sandra Fremlin scored in the second, half of the game to give her club a 1-0 victory over the Jets. A tie of 1-1 was fought between .Holly Hocks and the Turtles. Marlene Cunningham and Brenda .Smith were the goal-getters. proved costly for the hometown Colts whose centre, "Little Joe" Livermore, suffered a cracked ankle. Livermore will be sporting a walking cast on his leg for six and is not recommended. Candles should never be used as tree decorations, never anywhere in holders made from styrene foam, and preferably never at all. Though the safest tree is a fresh green one, with the butt immersed in water, if a tree is dried out before it is set up in water, it cannot regain a safe moisture level. If a test of flexibility of twigs or needles shows that a tree is drying out in the home, discard it. Even artificial trees present their own hazards. Metallic trees, due to the danger of short circuits, should never be illuminated by strings of electric lights. Floodlights should be used, remote from the tree.. Plastic trees are all made•of combustible materials, and the safest one is therefore one which would burn slowly. Gift wrappings should never be left to accumulate near the tree on Christmas morning, or whenever gifts are opened. Even a moist tree will burn if exposed to a ring of burning paper around the base. A dryer tree will burn furiously to a blackened stem in a few seconds, igniting all combustible furnishings nearby. Think about these things, says Fire Chief Rath, and especially remember to keep an eye on little children at this time of year. Never leave them alone for an instant, no matter how strong the temptation to pay a short visit to a neighbour, or make a last-minute purchase. weeks. After Little Joe and Randy Glew both were hurt midway through the second period, the Colts belted Listowel every chance they had. Referees Castle and O'Brien charged Clinton with '12 to 5 penalties in the last half of the game, including a game misconduct to Butch Fleet and five-minute majors to Murney and Daer late in the third period. The game turned into a brawl at 6:43 in the third, with fights on the ice and in the stands. Newcomer Mel Hohner held his own in a fight early in the first period. Although he can only play late-in-the-week games, his hustle and toughness will help bolster the left wing. Clinton outscored Listowel 3-1 in the first period on goals by Don Colquhoun, Bob Livermore and Budd Boyes. Listowel's F. Norman was left alone in front of "Gumper" Daer with only eight seconds on the clock for the visiting team's lone goal of the period. The second period picked up, with Listowel getting away with several chopping incidents, but Clinton outhit its opponents in scoring two more goals — the first and in-front shot by Harvey Dale and the second goal another beauty set up by Butch Fleet over to Randy Glew. Seconds later, Glew was elbowed in the Adam's apple and sat out the remainder of the period. In the wild third period, both clubs managed two goals apiece in between penalties. Budd Boyes picked up his second of the night on a rebound shot from Derwin Carter and Don Colquhoun fired in a beauty over the Listowel goalie's shoulder to finish the scoring. The two clubs met again Tuesday evening, but results were not available at presstime. Avoid tree tragedy .
