Make Your
Y uletide
Safe & Sane
AP Newsfeatures
You can enjoy your Christmas
to the fullest if you’ll just observe
a few safety precautions, advises
the National Safety Council. Here
are their suggestions to help make
your Yuletide safer and saner:
1. If you plan a home party and
want to use candles On your table,
be sure that the centerpiece is
not made of Christmas greens.
These become very dry in a hot
room and may be ignited quickly
by the tiniest spark.
2. When buying decorating mat
erials make sure they are flame
proof. Avoid using candles near
decorations. Provide plenty of ash
trays so that guests will find them
easily available. String decorations
near the ceiling or place them
well above the guests’ heads.
3. Set the tree where it does
not obstruct an exit from the
room, and away from fireplace
or strong heat. Keep it in water
from the time you bring it home.
Make a fresh saw cut across the
trunk base before setting it up.
Place tree in water - containing
holder. Fill it daily. Remove a
dry tree from the premises im
mediately after the holidays.
4. A blown fuse may be the sig
nal that the tree is overloaded
dangerously with lights. Be sure
fuses are right size, and don’t use
a penny in the fuse socket. Don’t
use lighted candles on the tree.
5. When hanging tree ornaments
stand on a sturdy stool or ladder.
Wear low-heeled shoes.
6. Buy safe toys for your young
sters. Select washable playthings
colored with non-poinsonous dye
or paint. See that playthings are
sturdy so they will not come apart
leaving jagged edges. Check eyes,
buttons, and beads on dolls to
make sure they cannot come off
and be swallowed by a curious
youngster.
Father Concannon, S.J., formerly
stationed in Nome and Kotzebue,
is now located at Ketchikan.
His parish, he states, is a very
busy one, with the big increase in
population in that area.

Eskimo Folklore Into

at Norvich. Selawik, White Moun
tain and Eklutna.
While growing up she was for
tunate to be in a family where
the folklore and stories of the Es

older people. These stories she
