When selecting holiday lights, purchase lights that have been UL approved. Other procautions include: Before decorating with ornamental lights, test each set by laying them on a surface and plugging them in for 15 minutes. Watch for smoke or defective parts. Defects to look for are frayed wires, loose connections, broken cracked sockets and exposed bare wire. Replace any lighting sets that have broken bulb bases or burned out or missing bulbs. Everty light socket should contain a bulb intended for use with that set. Bulbs that do not light up may be loose or dead and need to be tightened or replaced. If they cannot be repaired, discard the set. Always unplug lights prior to making any repairs. Before going to bed or leaving home, be sure to turn off tree lights and remove the plug from the wall outlet. If you are going to decorate with outdoor lights, use lights that are labeled for outdoor use. Do not try to use indoor lights for outdoor lighting. Lights made for outdoor use are weatherproof, however, they should be removed after the holiday season because they are still not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to weather conditions. In conclusion, play it safe over the holiday celebration by alerting everyone in the household to watch for potential injuires and accidents. Have a safe and joyous Christmas.

In 1984, over 17 tons of food were collected in Salt Lake area grocery stores. Due to the success of the program, we have decided to involve food banks and grocers all over Utah. On Saturday, Dec.. 14, grocery carts designated with a Share with the Hungry sign will be placed near store exits. Customers will be encouraged to donate food items by placing them in the cart. Food which is collected will be picked up by food banks and other agencies who will then distribue it to those who are in need of food assistance. Cash donation canisters will also be placed in convenience stores and other locations for customers who wish to donate cash rather than food. We found that Utahns are very willing to share with their fellow citizens. Last year, people placed cans of soup, !
