The Canadian Standards Associ-
ation warns against careless use
of Christmas trees and lighting.
Use a fresh tree, keep the butt immersed in
water, and check old tree lights for frayed
wires. Make sure tree lights you buy have the
CSA mark of approval, your assurance that
they are safe from fire and shock hazard.

DON'T lie nutty with a Chri$tma$ rive! Auburn
their families Friday , night
It is getting uncomfortably
AOS.e to ChriStiria4, isn't it?
Don't get me wrong, love
Christmas, It is a wonderful time
of year. Bgt quite frankly, it gets
a little expensive and .more than
that, it becomes a real headache
when one doesn't know what to
buy for this one or that one.
This year though, I said hang
he .expense. This year I'm going
to give the illusion of wealth
when it comes to my children
and my husband .... so I devised
a plan that is entirely new to our
.heinsehold.
I posted a chart. It was just a
simple. ruled chart with the
names of my husband and
family at the top of individual
columns. Each column
contained several spaces for
entries by each member of the
amity .... and I requested that
each person write down those
things he or she would like to
have for Christmas.
The cost, I told them, did not
matter, Just enter your wants on
he list and wait for Christmas to
11 round with the results,
Now you may think that
rtainly isn't .a very clever idea
.., but that's because you aren't
ued in to the rest of the story
ust yet.
In the very centre of the list I
laced my name ... and of
ourse, the spaces to write down
hose things I would like to
eceive for Christmas. Now
ere's where the strategy comes
n.
On my list, I wrote things like
and lotion and tea towels and
oves and writing paper etc. etc.
othing I wrote down would
ost over $2,
My family would waltz up to
e list to write down their
ndest dreams and note what
other had boldly written in the
ntre column. I would watch
om my vantage point at the
itchen sink as they read my list
then seemed to reconsider
heir own.
"Is that all you want for
hristmas?" my daughter asked.
"Yes dear," I told her.
"But that's not very much."

anyone ask for?"
"But if daddy Only buys a
bottle of hand lotion," she
sputtered, "he's not going to
spend much more money on us
kids."
"Don't be silly," 'I scolded. "I
said you could write down just
anything at all on that list and
I'm not changing my mind now.
Just because Pm satisfied with a
little less is no real reason why
you should not want more."
My daughter looked at me a
long time. Then she went to the
list. I didn't even bother to
watch as she made her entries. I
didn't have to. I knew she would
not fail me - and she didn't. On
the list she wrote things like
skate warmers and skate guards
and hairbands and mittens etc.

But there's more.

When I come to buy my
Christmas gifts, for the family, I
may not stick to the list for a
mother always knows what it is
her child will cherish most.
There may be enough money
in the budget to indulge each
child (and hubby) in one or two
special gifts. It will give me
greater pleasure than ever before
to really surprise them with
items they were not expecting
....
and. I'll just bet you that they
will be thoroughly delighted and
about 100 per cent more
satisfied this Christmas than
they have been for a few years
now.
There's only one thing I
haven't figured out yet. How am
I going to get my family to
ignore what I've written on the
list so that I can have what I
really want most of all - their
love, their trust and their
respect.

Fire safety precautions
should head the list of every
sensible family's preparations for
Christmas, says Fire Chief Grant
Rath, in a seasonal warning that
a happy Christmas can change in
a, few seconds into a family
tragedy, in homes where such
precautions are neglected. The
Fire Chief urged the public to
exercise special care in the
setting up and decoration of
Christmas trees, and drew
attention to the following
points:
If plans call for a natural tree,
it should be bought fresh and
green, and kept outdoors or in
an unheated garage before' being
brought into the home for
decorating. Then, one or two
inches should be cut diagonally'
from the butt, and the tree
should be set up with the butt in
water, which should be
maintained above the level of
the cut.
Check strings of electric lights
carefully for worn insulation,
broken plugs or loose bulb
sockets. Only CSA-approved
lighting sets and only
non-flammable decorations'
should be used. Declare the tree
Do not allow discarded gift
wrappings to accumulate under
the tree, Dispose of them as
soon as gifts are opened, Even a
green tree will burn if ignited by
burning paper around the base.
Set up the tree away from
heat sources such as fireplaces,
TV sets or radiators. Do not
allow it to block access to doors
or windows in the event of fire,
Switch off tree lights at bedtime
or when leaving the house.
Fire Chief Rath points out
that tests have proved that the
safest tree is a tree with its butt
set in water. However, if a tree
has dried out before it is set up,
it cannot regain its safe moisture
level. A dry tree can be ignited
by a single match, to burn
violently to a charred state in a
few seconds.
Even artificial trees can be
serious fire hazards. Metallic
trees are conductors of
electricity, and should not be
decorated with strings of lights,
but illuminated with floodlights.
Some plastic trees, made from
styrene materials, are flammable,
unlike those made 'from
polyvinylchloride.
All trees should be removed
