DEMONSTRATING THE “FLYING BELT." Using the experimental Small Rocket Lift Device (SRLD),
believed to be the first portable rocket equipment to carry man in individual controlled free flight,
a tost engineer soars over a truck during the recent Project Mobility demonstrations at Ft. Eustis,
Vo. In previous tests, the experimental “flying belt," developed by Bell Aerosysrwns Co., Buffalo,
N. Y. for the U. S. Anny Transportation Research Command, has flown at a speed of 20 mph and
has made lateral flights of up to 360 feet.
45,000,000 Christmas Trees
To Deck American Homes
Americans during December will buy and decorate around
45 million natural Christmas trees cut from the nation’s tree
farms and forests.
For these trees Americans will spend over SSO million.
To decorate them families will buy around 200 million
new ornaments.
Use Care in Decorating
The National Board of Fire Underwriters today asked
that care be taken in erecting and decorating these trees.
A tree contains natural resins which ignite easily and
burn readily, the National Board reminded.
It proper precautions are taken, however, fire may be
avoided. Particular attention should be given to trees in
churches and schools.
Don't Block Exits
Trees, in addition, should not be set up close to sairways
because in case of fire the stairway as an exit from upper
floors would be blocked.
With regard to the care of Christmas trees in the home,
the National Board has these following suggestions:
(1)
When you choose your Christmas tree this year, select
' one which appears freshly cut. Feel the needles to make
I sure they are firmly attached.
(2)
Keep the tree out of doors until just before Christmas.
And keep it standing in a pail of water so that it will remain
fresh.
(3)
When you put the tree up, place it in the coolest part of
the room. It should be as far as possible from radiators, heat
ers and as far away as possible from the fireplace. This will
j reduce the chances of fire, and keep the tree from drying.
(4)
Use a tree stand which has a water container in which
the trunk can rest. Most trees “drink” water fairly fast, so
fill the water container daily.
I (5)
Christmas tree decorations should be flameproof. Use only
decorations made of glass, metal or fire-resistant material.
(6)
Electric trains should be set up away from the tree. A
spark from the train could ignite dry pine needles.
, (7)
Use only electric lights to decorate the tree —never can
lies. Be sure to check lighting sets before placing them on
i the tree. Those with frayed wires should be discarded. When
you buy a new set look for the UL tag or label of Under
writers’ Laboratories, Inc.
(8)
When you open presents on Christmas morning, put
। away gift wrappings you intend to keep. Gather up other
wrappings and throw them away immediately after presents
■ are opened.
(9)
The lights on Christmas trees should be turned off when
everyone is away from home.
(10)
Check the tree for dryness from time to time. If needles
near lights have started to turn brown, change the position
of th* lights.
J (ID
When the needles start falling, take the tree down im
i mediately and discard it outdoors.
v . (12)
Even if the tree is still fresh, plan now to dismantle it the
day after New Year’s.
(13)
Make sure your decorative lighting does not overload
electrical circuits.
J ... (14)
Wiring and electrical equipment used out-of-doors should
be designed for the purpose.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Visit From Saint Nicholas
By CLEMENT C. MOORE
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the
house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds.
While visions of sugar-plums danced through their heads;
And Mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap—
When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore" open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a luster of mid-day to objects below;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
“Now Dasher; now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blitzen —
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall!
Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!”
As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the «ky,
So, up to the house top the coursers they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys — and St. Nicholas too
And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof,
i The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow:
I The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face, and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump —a right jolly old elf;
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head,
i Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
I He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
I And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!”
Use Farm Machinery
To Best Advantage
One means of reducing pro
duction costs and possibly in
creasing net farm income is
making fuller use of farm ma
chinery and equipment, accord
i ing to Cecil Smith. Extension
economist - farm management,
at the Univeisity of Georgia
College of Agriculture. If all
other aspects of the production
process aren’t considered along
with machinery use, adverse
economic effects may result.
Mr. Smith said. For instance,
the operating capital available
| for insect control and other
required practices should be
considered carefully in deter
mining the scope of the opera
tion.
Make it a habit to keep your
feet on the ground and you'll
, never have far to fall.
The trouble with the cronic
i borrower is that he always
| keeps everything by his word.
If you can’t get behind a
i movement for the good of the
community, the least you can
do is get out from in front of
i it.
