Such precau- tions should head the list of every sensible family's preparations for Christmas, he says. The Fire Chief urges the public to exercise special care in the setting up and decoration of Christmas trees, and draws attention to the following important 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 house 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 us- ed. Declare the tree a no -smoking area and keep matches out of the hands of children. Do not allow discarded gift wrapping to ac- cumulate under the tree. Dispose of them as soon as the 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. 9 CagOrifi rCCtitYo Here's an old-fashioned Christmas wish for a holi- day filled with prosper- ity, good health peace and contentment.

Meaning of Christmas By Myla Lovell Grade 7 Huron Centennial Christmas is a time of hap- piness and a time of celebra- tion. But some people really don't know the true meaning of Christmas. It all started in Bethlehem when Mary gave birth to her new born son Jesus. Sheperd men cane to worship Jesus by bringing him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Gosh these guys must be freezing. i hope we get home soon. I'm sweating to death. If I tug at my scarf maybe... no mom, no, I don't want to go visit those freezing men. They might thaw out and eat me up. Please mom no! "Don't cry Tracy, it's only a snowman. it doesn't hurt you." That's your opinion not mine.
