Homeowners' holiday hints
There's nothing like Christmas. The an-
ticipation,
nticipation, the tree, the friends and family.
The snow, or the( hoping for snow to mako,lt
all official, The feeling that everything will
be all right. The memories, reflections and
dreams of Christmases past.
But: for some, Christmasis just a good
time for exploiting others, a time for taking,
an opportunity to make what's yours, theirs.
They are the thieves, the modern-day
Scrooges who will take the merry out of your
Christmas- if you let them.
Here are some practical ways to help keep
Christmas Scrooges from spoiling your holi-
day season. -
WHEN YOU'RE OUT:
• Leave lights on in several rooms, attach-
ed to timers turning them on and off at vary-
ing intervals. Also leave a radio on tuned to
an all -talk station.
• Leave drapes and shades open to reflect
normal household patterns.
• Don't leave lawn furniture, ladders, etc.
lying around.
• Turn down the volume on your phones.
Constant ringing advertises your absence.
There are certain precautions which
should be taken during the holiday season
•If you're going to be away for an extend-
ed period, leave a car parked in your
driveway. Make sure your snow will be
shoveled. Cancel all deliveries such as
newspapers, milk, etc. Have a friend or
neighbor pick up your mail and use your
trash cans.
During the holiday season, fire is also a
threat to your property - and your life. You
might do well to ask yourself the following
hard questions: Have I taken the proper
safety precautions regarding my Christmas
tree? Do I know life-saving fire escape pro-
cedures - in case I do have a fire?
Wondering where the best
buys are this Christmas?

Here are some Christmas fire prevention
and life-saving hints:
• Keep Christmas trees away from open
flames.
• Turn off Christmas tree lights when you
go to bed and when you leave your home.
• Keep the tree well watered.
• Don't pull a tree near space heaters.
• Be sure all electrical appliances and tree
lights are UL -listed.
Lifesaving hints
Always sleep with the bedroom or hall
door closed. Closed doors can keep flames
out long enottgh for you to escape through a
window.
• Agree on a way everyone can com-
municate during a fire. Use a whistle knock
on walls, or Lust yell.
• Don't waste time getting dressed or
grabbing belongings.
• Check doors for intense heat or invading
smoke before opening. If smoke is coming in
around the edges, or if the door is hot, don't
try to open it.
• When you've determined it's safe, open
the door carefully, with shoulder braced
against it and head to one side. Open slightly
and be ready to close quickly if heat and
smoke rush in.
• Crawling along the floor will help you to
breathe more easily.
• Decide on a meeting place outside. Once
outside, do not re-enter the structure.
