Citizens should remember certain points When choosing tree obtain one which has been freshly cut and not too large Re member the larger the tree the greater the imtential hazard Do not have the tree in the house longer than necessary Keep it outside in the snow until you are ready to set it up and just before doing this saw off the trunk diagonally at least one inch above tile original cut Then support the tree in good solid stand in such position that the diagonal cut can be completely immers ed in water The tree will absorb the water rapidly therefore the water level must be checked daily The tree should be in such position that it does not block an escape route should it catch fire One of the most common causes of Christ mns tree fires is the colorful lights that decorate the tree These lights shouldcarry the approval label of the Underwriters laboratories and each connection and socket should be checked for fraying and damage All electrical decorations should be turned off before retiring or leaving the house Due to the use being made of celluloid and plastics in the manufacture of gifts and childrens toys many of these items are found to be highly inflammable Only metalrglass asbestos or other non lnflanmmble decorations should be used to decorate the house and above on there should be no smoking near the Christmas tree The fireplace must not be overloaded and substantial screen should be placed in front of the open hearth to prevent the possibility of flying sparks Children are the usqu victims when tra gedyiby fire strikes in the home Let us in Barrie

American dollars Its been losing them recently Last Americans spent when they visited us Its not because volume of American visitors to Canada has fallen off Each year they have been coming up here in increasing numbers They like our air our fishing our roads our scenery and our hotels But they dont like our prices and especially on the goods which visitors normally buy in large quantities They are not buying nearly as freely as they were because they can usually buy at lower prices at home There is only one way we can hope to get this business back Better values must be offered these people who visit Canada Canadian merchants can help bring that about but only part of the remedy lies in their hands In many cases the big reason for higher prices in Canada ishigher taxesyparticularly excise
