Christmas:
Don’t Make It Your 64 Last 99 Holiday
Millions of Americans are
soon to begin their annual pur
chases of tree-trimming and
decorative materials. Howev
er, the prevailing holiday at
mosphere always overshadows
one essential aspect of a com
ptejely merry Christmas: elec
i ncai safety.
At no other time of the year
are as many potentially baz
arclous electrical fixture- and
flammable materials used in
the home. Therefore, at no
other time of the year do as
many people leave themselves
so susceptible to open disas
ter, whether it be loss of life
or property.
As a public service, Under
writers’ Laboratories, a not
tor profit organization testing
for public safety, would like
to offer the following safety
suggestions in order that you
may have a more complete
holiday season.
—Don’t overload circuits.
—Don't work on light strings
while plug is still connected.
—Don’t stretch string lights
or extension wiring.
—Don’t use string lights or
extensions outdoors unless
the attached label speeifies
you may do so.
—Don’t use flood lights on or
near flammable material.
—Don’t place electrical fix
tures within a child's acces
nihility.
—Do buy only UL labeled
string lights and cords.

—Do inspect all wiring insula
tion for possible deteriora
tion, especially if it has been
stored for an indefinite per
iod.
—Do use rubber light socket
gaskets where provided and
replace if needed.
—Do make certain lamps are
not loose in their sockets.

—Do use UL Listed, artificial
trees wherever available.
While not seeking to mini
mize the importance of any of
the above points, perhaps two
should be stressed: overloads
and physical inspections.
Overloads are primarily cre
ated by placing more current
on a wire than it can handle
but not enough to cause a fuse
to blow. At Christmas this is
usually due to placement of
too many bulbs on a single
extension cord. Result: over.
heating; melting insulation;
exposed wire; shock, electro
cution or fire. Hence, always
look for the capability of the
wiring supplying the lighting.
Examination of insulation is
a minor task but one of major
importance. Wiring that has
been stored in attics or cel
lars for a long period of time
can become vulnerable to the
elements. Consequently, vary
ing temperatures can easily
affect rhe insulation to the
point of being incapable of
serving its protective purpose.
If you will attempt to fol
low the Do's and Don'ts we
have given, you’ll certainly
make your Christmas merry
and. more important, safer.

Vocational School Has Visit From Legislators,
Admits No Problems With Discipline, Drugs
Forsyth County High Voca
tional School was given an app
roving inspection tour
by eight state legislators ana
two Georgia Department of Ed
ucation officials. The officials,
Troy Elder and Earl Williams,
included Forsyth High in a st
ate-wide tour of vocational sch
ools functioning at various le
vels in the educational field. Fo
rsyth Vocational School is one
of twenty in the state. It was
selected as a good example of
this type of school.
While at the school, the group
questioned principal Leonard
D. Crawford concerning such
probelms as discipline, narco
tics use, code of dress and
racial problems. Crawfordsald
that the school had experienced
no trouble in any of these areas.
“Our students and parents
have accepted our code of dress
and hair length' 1 said Crawford.
He stated that hair should not
cover the eyes, ears or collars
of students but there is no rule
on length or mode of hair st
yling for girls as long as it. is
neat. Crawford said that occ
asionally a student has to be
sent home for a haircut but he
STwyas complies with the sch
ool's wishes and returns the fo
llowing day, neatly sheared.
As for narcotics, Crawford
says that there is no concrete
evident of any drug traffic at
the school. Lockers are check
ed once a year and if any
medicine of a suspicious na
ture is found the student is asked
to remove and explain it.
Racial problems are nil.
Since Forsyth County has only
white residents, this presents
no problems. Crawford said
when the all Negro school, Bu
rney Harris played here, they
were well behaved and
conducted themselvs in a sp
ortsman-like manner. They
were well received by the For
syth students. But when Newton
County, an aU white school com
peted with Forsyth, they be
haved poorly and Forsyth stu
dents showed their dislike to
this team. He says this indi
cates that the conduct of vi
siting sutdents affects students
relationships far more than any
other thing.
Chess, Everyone's Game
Through the Ages
Youngsters and oldsters
alike have a chance to step
back into history and enjoy
the game of strategy that
entertained and challenged
Indian Rajahs. Chess, still
one of the most popular
international games, has
changed little since the
fourth century B.C.
One of the most practical
sets of chessmen available
today has just been intro
duced by Whitman, a divi
sion of Western Publishing
Co., Inc. Priced at about
SI.OO, the set features plas
tic chessmen (designed to
be easily distinguishable
for beginners) and an in
struction booklet that in
cludes the History of Chess.
The origin of chess is
credited to Sissa, a scien
tist in the court of Rajah
Balhait. Created to demon
strate prudence, diligence,
foresight, and knowledge,
chessmen represent the ele
ments of the Indian army.
Besides providing enter
tainment, chess is educa
tional. Because every im
portant step of the learning
process is used in chess,
the ideal time to learn the
game is between the ages
of 4 and 8. Easily trans
portable, chess can be en
joyed by the whole family
indoors and out.
