Your Christmas
Fireside Can Be
Bright with Color
If you wish to get as much “color”
as possible in your Christmas obser
vance, here’s a novel idea.
Pine cones, small kindling or chips
can be so treated as to give off color
ed flames when burned in the fire
place, Dipped or soaked in a solution
of various salts of certain metals,
cones or chips will burn with distinc
tive color. Cones will not readily ab
sorb water so salts must be suspended
in a solution of turpentine.
Compounds which produce specific
colors when burned are; Red, stronti
um chloride; green, barium chloride;
blue-green, copper oxide or copper sul
fate; orange, calcium chloride; laven
der, potasium chloride; yellow, sodi
um chloride.
A second method—if only cones are
to be used—is to dip the cones in par
affin and before the paraffin hardens
sprinkle with the following chemicals
for desired color effect: Green, copper
sulfate; red, strontium nitrate; orange
calcium nitrate and yellow, sodium
chloride.

Forum Discusses
True worth is in being, not seeming,
In doing each day that goes by
Some little Good,—not in dreaming
Of great things to do by and by!
The 1st. Wingham Boy Scout Troop
had its meeting on Friday, November
25, The boys played British Bulldog
and Kim’s Game, in which you name
as many objects as possible after
one minute’s observation.
Mr. Alan Walker gave the boys a
talk on artificial respiration and
demonstrated one method. The boys
were then paired off and practiced
what they had been taught.
At the end of the meeting Tym
Overend was presented with his 2nd.
Class badge. This is the fourth 2nd.

Tuberculosis is not hereditary. It is
communicable, germs being spread
from the sick person to the well.
Danger is greatest where the patient
himself is unaware of the disease bal
ing present and, consequently neither
he nor those kroUnd him take the pre
cautions which would check infection.
One of the uses of the Christmas Seal
funds is to carry on programs aimed
at finding the Undetected cases, the
first step in checking TB infection,
