Col. Robert E. L. Knapp, base fire marshal. w "You need have no fear," Lt. Col. Knapp said, "of fires being caused woll made Christmas lighting h sets, provided they are not too old and' are in good condition. Many people do not realize how long their in use. a light strings nave Been iO 20 years to are high percentage old, and defects of one sort or another are bound to be present.

Kim, radio, repair, which is nothing more mysterious than "Merry Christmas Happy New Year" in Hawaiian. Kim, who transferred from Hickam AFB to Hill last spring is one who doesn't mind the snow too much, because it is the first he has seen and he's always wanted to have a white Christmas. Kim's father is a graduate of Washington State college and is a civil engineer architect in Honolulu. Kim states that his Christmases in Hawaii have been similar to the ones here and that they always had a Christmas tree "which was from the mainland." Kim was in the service with the Signal Corps with the occupation forces. He lives at 775 - 26th Street, and nals around with some of his friends from home who are attending Weber college and is having the time of his life with new exneriences that he's always heard about and looked forward to doing, such as skiing, duck hunting, and trout fishing. im-nort- ed Og-de- n. if Put safetv at the ton of vour last minute Christmas shopping list, the National Safety Council sug gested today. A safe Christmas celebration, free from accidents that mar holiday in thousands of Ameri- hanmness r can homes, is the very best present anybody can give or receive, the Council said. The Council records show that the traffic death toll for Christmas Day is twice the annual daily average. And the toll for the day before Christmas is even greater about two and a half times the daily average. These two days call for special caution on everybody's part driver and pedestrian alike. The following suggestions have been offered to keep the spirit of Christmas alive: 1. Start early and take it easy when vnii are driviner. Heavv holi day travel is especially dangerous because ot winter s earner uark-neand bad weather. 2. Be extra alert when you are walkinc. Avoid the rush of last- minute Christmas shopping, and not carry packages so they do canobstruct your view. Motorists not always see you, especially dur ing early evening darkness. 3. Stav sober when vou are cele brating. Don't let holiday spirit or spirits replace common sense and caution during the Christmas- New Year period. ss The Civilian Club Plans New Yftnr'c Eve Partv 5s i HILLFIELDEKS are going to be taking the above prizes home with them after the party tonight.
