Re Chrismas Decorations. The Secretary of the Canadian Fire Underwriters' Associatioin has g sent the follower letter to the Fire Chief, Jno, Logan, which speaks for itself --Following our usual custom at this season of the year, I beg to, draw your attention to life and pro- perty from Christmas decorations, such as draperies, scenery, cotton to represent snow, etc, Displays of this nature and the lighting arrangements in connection. therewith, add very considerably to the ordinary risks of fire. I would also point out that should an accident' of the kind occur in a crowded store or meeting. the rapid spread of fire in such inflam- mable material is almost certain to occasion a panic with attendant risks to life and limb. The National Fire Protection Association and the On- tario Fire Marsha! recommend that all fabrics for decoration purposes should be immersed in a solution of Commercial Ammonium Phosphate in the proportion of one pound of Phos- phate to one gallon of water. If then slightly wrung and dried they will offer considerable resistance to fire until again washed, If this not practicable, a few simple precautione may reduce the denier to a minknum and these should be consider essential where largge numbers of people and particularly ehildren are to be gath- ered, Soo that inflammable Material is clear of and not hung over heat• ing and lighting devices steampipes, stovepipes, electric light bulbus, ete. See that your electrical cireults are proporly fused and reit overloaded by the addition of temporary Iightee, knew—titre your fire extinguishing ap- plienoes and see that they are sof- fielent, in good order and readily aa- ressible, See that all exits are plain- ly marked and not obstrultted. Ire•' member that nothing can reader these displays absolutely safe, and that if accidents are not to Alar the festivel seasons constant tigllaneti and tare tetra be exerelced.

Small Envelopes Cause Delay at Post Of5 ce, During the holiday season mttny peopleIe transmit their r Chriatmps and Nrw Yeats greetings by means of small cards enclosed in visiting card envelopes or diminutive envelopes of a similar nature. The use of small envelopes is discouraged by the post office department for many reasons, Small envelopes cannot be satisfac- torily passed through the electric post- marking inachine. The cancel lation mark covers too great a por- tion of the surface, obliterating in many instances a part of the address. This necessitates picking out the small envelopes from the other let- ters and detailing employees, who might be more profitably engaged, to stamp them by hand, The small size of the envelope renders the sortation and making up of bundles more dif- ficult and hampers the work of the office at a time when it is most de- sirable to handle the malls as expedi- tiously no possible. The public can assist the postoffice by refraining from using envelopes smaller than three by four inches, 1925 Christmas Seals P i The 1926 Christmas Sens, In aid of. the 'Muskoka and Toronto riosprtsbt for Consumptives, have, just been 15 Mud.
