The Christmas Tree st;:rd, as
a symbol of the beauty and
goodwill )f the Christmas
spirit. Radiant with colored
lights and shimmering with tin-
sel icicles hanging from its
branches, few things could sur-
pass it for beauty in innocense.
However this very same
Christmas tree can bring fire
and death to c,'nur family if the
hasic rules of Christmas tree
safety are neglected. In a mat-
ter of seconds, a happy Christ-
mas can turn into a family
tragedy.

One or two inches should be
cut diagonally from the butt,

the level of the cut. A tree
whose moisture content has
dropped to a critical point
before immersion will not
recover, but will continue to

The tree should be checked

Check strings of electric lights
carefully for worn insulation,
broken plugs, or loose hulk
sockets. Use only lighting sets
approved by the Canadian
Safety Association and non-
flammable decorations. Always
turn the lights off at bedtime
and before leaving home.
A special effort should be
made to keep people from
smoking near the tree, and
matches must. be kept out of the
hands of children.
All gift wrappings should be
disposed of as soon as the gifts
are opened. When tissue paper
is piled up ttnrler the tree it
creates a highly volatile
situation.
Keep the tree away from'heat
sources such as fireplaces, TV
sets or radiators. Do not allow
the tree to block access to doors
or windows in. case of fire.
Even artificial trees can be
serious fire hazards. Metallic
trees are conductors of elec-
tricity, and should not be
decorated with strings of lights.

Climate Key to Time of Holy Birth
The evidence that the
journey of Mary and Joseph
from Nazareth to Bethle-
hem took place in the dry
season, that is, before the
onset of winter, depends to
some extent on what we
know about the climate of
Palestine today, which,
scholars' believe, is not very
different from what it was
during the time of Jesus.
CD ay peace and
love be with you.
Thanks for your
fine support. ='
