Orem City Officials Give Timely Suggestions Orem City officials are sounding a note of warning as the extreme cold weather is upon us, and Christmas decorations, trees, etc., always add to the fire hazards in a community. They request that chimney flues, furnaces furn-aces and all fire carriers be inspected, in an effort to prevent the terrible destruction of fire. City Clerk EmilV. Hansen announces that Orem City appropriated $2,000 for fire protection during 1945. In the past this amount has proved more than adequate, but todate there is already a $330 deficit, owing to the many fires, seme caused through negligence and also several false alarms being turned in. It is well to acquaint the citizens just what a fire alarm in Orem amounts to. If the fire department of Provo or Pleasant Grove is called, the initial cost is $135.00 for the first hour or part thereof, and $100 for each additional hour or part thereof. As an example a recent fire cost Orem city $335, and the property burned was a total loss. At this season, remember Christmas trees and decorations deco-rations are fire hazards. Carefulness is therefore Jhe watchword in order to prevent tragic accidents. A few sensible precautions, plus the use of fire-proofing fire-proofing chemicals, can provide you with insurance against damage. If you want to keep your tree for perhaps per-haps two weeks in the home, see that the base of Jhe tree stands in a container of water. Another and important safeguard is to use a chemical chem-ical flame-proofing solution. Dissolve one pound of sodium-chloride in one and one-half pints of water, if the tree is small, or two pounds of chemical in three pints of water for the larger tree. Put the solution in the container in which the tree stands. Let the tree soak up as much of the chemical solution as possible. In case calcium chloride is not available, 'ammonium sulphate will do. m$ QUjriaitttaa ! Every holiday has its significance, but none can compare with Christmas. It is the one time of the year when self-seeking gives way to selflessness, and all are united in one common attitude of good will toward our fellowmen. :Now, when the fir trees wear white collars, when the birds make tiny stitches in the snow and our footprints foot-prints hurry towards the warmth of home and the companionship com-panionship of loved ones, its time to wish all our friends the fullest joys of the Christmas season. Towering above a care-bound world is the carefree spirit of Christmas. Independent of time, independent of place, independent of circumstance, it embraces all. None can escape its magic spell. Our Wish For Christmas Humanity's hope and civilization's cry for a brave, new world is perennially strengthened by the light that shines from the eyes of children as they stand in the presence of their Christmas idol, Santa Claus. The wonder of these facts unfolds mankind's greatest great-est lessons. For here is faith resplendent in its simplicity. Here is unselfishness, unadorned. Here is devotion, unalterable. Here is goodness, in its glory. ' The magic of this light shines outward from the world of childhood onto the pathways of our adult world pathways sometimes darkened. This light can pierce that darkness: Will Your Christmas Be A Merry One? This question, originating in the office of the Highway High-way Patrol, will be answered in the negative in many Utah homes. Homes which bear the scars of battle, the loss of loved ones whose bodies yet lie in foreign soil, will have answered the question long ago. Unfortunately Unfortun-ately for many of those of us who remained at home separated from war by thousands of miles, and protected protec-ted by millions of men under arms, the question can but bring a negative response. A war just as destructive, the casualties of which are just as fatal, rages on our streets and highways. These streets now dressed in ftlly;, hung with stars, and lighted to proclaint the' season's merriment, happiness and peace have become battle fronts that could be lined with crosses white crosses'. This is an undeclared war and one in which you and I, quite without purpose, have taken up arms in the form of motor vehicles against our friends, our neighbors, our women and children. No one is immune to its destructiveness, and yet we are all responsible re-sponsible for its progress and intensity. Even above the Christmas carol can be heard the screech and crash of locked brakes and twisting metal To many our wish of "Merry Christmas" will evoke memories of a highway high-way crash that COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. To effect an armistice in this war of "infamy" we need not use atomic power, we need not use our tanks and planes, our ships and guns. We need but walk and drive in the spirit of the "MERRY CHRISTMAS" we wish to all the world. We need but walk and drive guided guid-ed by the great principle of humanity PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.
