D�'s, D�n'ts To Prevent Tree Fires Don't let your Christmas tree, through carelessness, leave a skel- eton for the Yuletide. Don't for- get that fire kills. That's the ad- vice of safety officers of the On- tario , Department of Lands and Forests. Other don'ts: Don't leave the Christmas lights burning on the tree when you retire or go out. Don't set up your tree near an open fireplace. Don't use candles near the tree. Countless questions about Christ- mas trees reach the Reforestation Division at this time of year. Typi- cal conversation: "We set up our tree in the liv- ing room a week before Christmas last year and when Santa arriyed there were more needles under the tree than on it. It looked more like •a hall rack than a Christmas tree." "That was probably a spruce," the• forester replies. "It had been cut probal;ly three weeks before you bought it. I've always tried to get balsam fir or pine because the needles hang on so much bet- ter. If it's a spruce, make sure it hasn't been cut too long." "How do you tell the difference beeween pine, balsam fir and spruce?" "A pine always has two or more needles in a place on the twig.; bal- sam an.d spruce ocdur singly. Bal- sam needles are flat and will slide between your thumb and forefinger. Spruce needles are four-sided and tend to roll. The spruce needle is sharp -pointed and prickly; balsam is rounded and more pliable. Popularity of the various types of trees apparently depends on the locality to some extent. In eastern and northern. Ontario, balsam fir and spruce are common and, un- til recent years, were the most popular in southern Ontario also, Since 1946. pine have been ap- pearing in increasing numbers in Toronto, Hamilton and Windsor, Scotch. red and white pine are used, Scotch pine from plantations being the most important. The pines retain their ..needles better than spruce and so can be cut as early as November and shipped considerable distances. H e a wy snowfall in December interferes with moving the trees -to market. +,... 4.... 4, `4. . i... `S... +...4,.. `S... ` ,, i... 4, 4,. ,4 . ,y.. is 4, �a+I.4"lI.rNl.n1°�.T'I.rN Arriving here in December, 193, Beverley F.
