SYLVESTER Tri'day CHRISTMAS CIRCUMCISION Saturday Families that observe the Twelve Days, with all their happy customs, wili discover the true meaning of Christmas. EPIPHANY The beautiful custom of celebrating the “Twelve Days of Christmas” is the subject of an article by Father Francis X. Weiser, S.J., in the current issue of Crosier magazine. The accompanying illustration (above) is the work of Chester Sullivan. The custom of celebrating the twelve days from December 25 to January 6 as a continued observance of the great feast of Christmas is observed in many Christian homes. “Fortunate indeed,” writes Father Weiser, “is the family that keeps these customs alive, where parents and children know how to honor and ob serve Christmas for 12 days in the spirit of the liturgical celebration.” (NC Photos) PLANTERS The Biggest Name In Peanuts MR.

Christmas, 1956 — the worst on record when measured in terms, of sudden death from traffic accidents, fires, falls, drownings, and other miscel laneous mishaps. In all, 504 persons that Christmas week-end died as a result of accidents. And 60 of them were fire’s victims. A week-end later, New Year’s 1957, 340 more met sudden death, this time 26 by fire. And when fire was the cause, how had it occurred? Why? Was it the gayly-lighted Christmas tree? Defective wiring- A light ed cigarette carelessly discard ed? It could have been any one Leb's Restaurant THE CULNARY HUB OF THE UNIVERSE 66 Luckie St., N.W. JA. 5-4752 Atlanta, Ga. of these causes or one of many others as well. But when all are reduced to a common denominator, the cause is carelessness. And this can be avoided. POTENTIAL HAZARD Take the Christmas tree, for instance. It’s a potential fire hazard and caution should be taken in its selection, placement in the home, and maintenance. You can play it safe by choosing a small one. There will be 30 million on the market. Keep it outdoors until a few days before setting up. During that time occasionally throw water over it. This will keep it moist and fresh. When you bring the tree in side, cut the butt slantwise to open the pores, then stand it in a tub of water. Be wary of chemicals or other substances sold for “fireproofing” trees. In some cases this process is in effective. In placing the tree, it’s best to avoid “hot spots” such as those near the fireplace, stove, television set, radiator, or elec tric bulbs. Never use untreated paper ornaments or untreated cotton COLLINS MANUFACTURING CO. TAILORED AUTOMOBILE SEAT COVERS 517 Spring Si., N. W. TR. 6-5524 Ailania, Ga.

Cotton and gause can be made flame-resistive by dipping in a gallon of water mixed with nine ounces of borax and four ounc es of boric acid. Also, use only electric lights, never candles. Be sure, too, that wires are in good condition. Frayed electric cords are indeed a fire hazard. The switch for turning on the tree lights should be placed some distance from the tree. Never use an outlet or plug un der the tree or run electric trains around the base. AVOID DEADLY DECORATION Here are some other sugges tions: If decorations are used about the house, do not permit them to be around or near to chairs and other places where people may smoke. It is preferable to have them up near the ceiling, well above the head of anyone standing up. Keep plenty of ash trays about the house during the hol iday season, as always. If lights are desirable in win dows, never use candles. Keep curtains and other flammable material pulled back at least 6 inches from any electric light. Use non-flammable decora tions of glass or metal, and “fireproof’ snow in decorating your tree for Christmas. After you have opened your Christmas presents, remove all the gift wrappings and packing materials from your living room and dispose of them. A child wearing a gauzy cos tume and holding a lighted candle can be transformed into a flaming torch in a few sec onds. Santa’s whiskers are also fuel for flames. A movie star who played Santa Claus for a chil dren’s party forgot he was wearing a big white beard and lit a cigar. The beard flared up in his face. A New York girl wore a black net evening gown at a Christ mas party. She brushed against a lighted candelabra which im mediately ignited her dress. These incidents emphasize the need for caution at Christ mas. Wearing of flammable flimsy costumes and dresses of net or gauze-like fabrics should be discouraged. If they are worn, they can be made flame- resistant with the following so lution: nine ounces borax, four ounces boric acid, one gallon of water. The fabric should be well sat urated with the solution, then wrung out by hand, and hung to dry. Fabrics so treated will retain their flexibility and softness. However, the flame- retardent qualities are lost when the fabric is washed again, and the process must be repeated after each washing. WHEN DRESSES CATCH FIRE When clothes catch fire — don’t run. Throw the victim to the floor and roll her in a rug, a blanket or a coat. Wrap the rug or blanket around the neck first, to keep the poisonous gas es of combusion away from the face. If no rug, blanket or coat is available, roll the victim over and over on the floor to smo ther the flames. Running only fans the flames. Since all fire gases rise, a victim in an up right position tends to inhale the toxic gases. It is in knowing what to do in these instances that will save your life. Some of those who died last Christmas didn’t know. AFTERMATH Poor little withered balsam, Twisted, torn, and spent, Waiting the call of our ashman, Out on the cold cement; Poor little broken balsam, Proudly you played your part; You held high His star of Christmas And still stand upright in our heart. —Oren R. Brown THE CHRIST CHILD'S GIFT By Frances Gass Night and forgetfulness of sleep Wrapped those within the room-filled inn, Unmindful that a moment deep As all eternity would spin Upon their slumbrous reach of earth As heaven heralded a Birth. Tired pilgrims in hushed Bethlehem, Drowsy with evening food and wine, Hunger and thirst would wake with them; But now a Child as gift divine Brought bread and wine of life, that men Might never hunger, thirst again.
