This will prolong the life and appearance of the tree, keep the needles from falling, and mini- “mize the danger of fire. Trimming Your Tree Keep your tree stand water- well full and your tree will remain fresh and fragrant throughout the holidays. Bear in mind that tree trim- ming follows a fundamental rule of women’s fashions—accentu- ate the opposite. If your tree is tall and slender, decorating lines should tend toward the horizon- tal. (See Fig. 1.) If it is short and full, trim your tree along lines which tend to be ver- tical. (See Fig. 2.) Applying way to pressure bandages except in extreme emergency when loss of a leg may outweigh possible death from hemorrhage. Mr. Wright asked each member of the class to bring with him to the next meeting a rough blanket and three strips of cotton, two, three and four inches in width and a yard long, with which to practice simple bandaging.

Mr. Wright said it is as much the fig.) function of a good first aider to prevent accidents as it is to deal with the injured after accidents occur. He also stressed the over- whelming necessity for knowing what not to do, no matter how many hysterical bystanders urge in- stant action. Keep an injured per- son warm, he said, and don’t rush to move him unless flames are ap- proaching or there is danger of an explosion. A simple fracture may turn into a compound fracture under improper handling, or a broken back grind fragments of bone into the spinal cord, with paralysis as a result. Mr. Wright cited the instance of a pedestrian injured near the Amer- ican Legion Home on Center Hill Road this summer, when bystanders insisted upon moving the man, and the ambulance crew stood firmly against such a dangerous proceeding until e doctor could be summoned. .

Too often, the number of lights used to trim a tree is arrived at by guesswork, and results look disappointingly “spotty.” There is a formula, however, which does away with much of the guesswork and helps produce an evenly lighted appearance. To achieve what professionals call a “good lighted effect,” try this for- mula: Height of Tree (in feet) x Width of u ‘I'ree at Base [—ap— (in feet) x 3. Fig. 3 Let’s say your tree is 6 feet in height and 41% feet wide at the base. (See Fig. 3.) The for- mula would work like this: 6 x 4% x 3 = 81 lights for “good lighted effect.” While personal taste is the last word in decorating Christ- mas trees, each year finds more families adopting the above for- mula which will help in bring- /\ \ 1000,000 - families will light up {If all of us practice safety, we T.

In working from the bottom up, a trimmer is literally “in his own way,” and runs the risk of knocking the tree down. So start at the top, with your angel or star ornament, and work down. After your tree-top ornament is firmly in place, string the tree lights, using the formula out- lined above for a good lighted effect. Reflectors and halos are available at modest cost, and these greatly increase the bril- liance of tree lights. Next, add your “continuous” decoration, such as strung popcorn. Follow this with glass ball ornaments, snow balls, candy canes and From coast to coast, some 40,- their ‘Christmas trees this year. may make this the year when no Christmas tree fire sweeps through an American home, turning a family’s joy into grief. There is a highly effective way to protect against short circuits and overloading. Simply make sure you plug a safety “fused” plug set (such as those offered by NOMA LITES) into your original source of current and then add your other decorative sets to this set. This will ensure protection against overloads and short circuits, and prevent dark- ened rooms due to blown-out fuses. In addition, inspect all light sets carefully for fraying or exposed wires. Let's make this Christmas the safest on record. Light Up Those Indoor Focal Points Windows, end tables, mantles, foyer tables and stair rails are all decorating fo- cal points at Christmas.

Many <lly { units, such as Santas, Snowmen a wide variety to suit the indi- vidual taste,, while end tables lend themselves to small arti- ficial Christmas trees with lights that bubble or twinkle merrily. Mantles provide an ideal set- ting for angel figures, candles, and lights with reflectors set into a background of evergreen branches. (See Fig. 4.) Foyer tables are just right for a “spe- cialty” display, such as illumi- nated paper poinsettias in a centerpiece basket. Your stair rail, aglow with lights tucked between pine and laurel branches will add still more cheer to your holiday. Outdoor Decoration Says Merry Christmas To All portunities. But practice safety Fig. § outside as well as inside. Make sure all outside wire is #12 or #14, rubber in- sulated and heavy duty. The best source of current for outdoor lighting is a permanent, protected outdoor-type recepta- cle, or a garage or porch lamp. Even without such an outlet, you can safely reach an indoor receptacle. Merely drill a hole in a board which will fit a con- venient window snugly. Close the window on the board and run the outdoor wire in through the hole in the board. The win- dow can be “brace-lecked” with a stick. (See Fig. 5.)

Eliminate this problem by running the outdoor Christmas sets through drive rings ham- mered into the eaves at regular intervals up to the house cor- ners and roof peaks, The drive rings will carry your Christmas string of -lights in straight and beautiful lines, outlining your home perfectly. (Drive rings are available at hardware stores everywhere.) (See Fig. 6.) Lighting Evergreens Outdoors Evergreen trees on your front lawn can be especially appeal- ing when lighted. Generally, lights of a single color are pre- ferred on outdoor evergreens. i For an enriched effect, however, able Blue spruce or Douglas fir, build a simple ‘“teepee’ to carry the light strings. Pound stakes into the ground around the tree, inside the spread of the branches, at regular intervals. Then lead rigid wire up from the stakes to a point several inches below the tree-top. Fit a padded wire collar around the tree stem at this point and fasten wires to the collar, (See Fig. 7.) a RTY BR More Tips For You You may have found just the decorating idea you have been looking for.
