PLEASE BE ON TIME) SUBSCRIPTION RATES: EDITORIALS Buy fresh Christmas tree for safety should be fresh and if you wish to avoid the possibility of a disaster in your home over the Holiday Season, Darcie H. White, Utah Safety Councils Vice President for Home Safety, cautioned Utahns today. A good check to see if the tree is already dried out, White said, is to bounce the butt end of the tree hard on the ground. If the needles shower down, the tree is dry and poses as a potential fite hazard. Other means of checking dryness,,. he said, is to pull a few needles the ends of the branches. If they pull without resistance or if the cut end the trunk is not sticky with resin, the Christmas firm-needl- trees ed trte is dry. tree at home, about hours prior to setting it up, cut Ihe trunk one inch from the bottom at an angle and place in water. Support the tree firmly in a substantial holder or stand that will hold the tree steady and which is equipped with a water- 1'hen you have the forty-eig- ht filled container. A five-fopine, it was pointed out, will drink about a pint of water for the first few days. Check it daily and keep the water level up. White advised home owners to keep the ot tree indoors as short a period as possible and take it down before it becomes dry enough to shed needles. If it shows signs of unusual dryness, remove it immed- iately. The Christmas tree should be located away from sources of heat, he said, and should not obstruct exits and aisles. Artificial trees should be made of material. Those with built-i- n electrical systems should bear a UL approval. Metallic trees should have no wiring directly in contact with them and should only be illuminated with indirect light. A few simple precautions can prevent tragedy, White said, and assures all a slow-burni- ng Merry Christmas.

Ah! Now the twinkline star lights Illumes the hallowed night in the branches ls And Sing Allelulahs in their flight. wind-chora- snowflakes Whisper peace thats Heaven borne; And this glorious wintered package Sets the stage for Christmas morn. We awoke to a magicalwinter wonderland this morning the trees which so short a time ago held Golden Autumn Glory that lighted our rooms, now were breathtaking. They were laden with huge garlands of white glory Mother Natures magical wand had trimmed them in soft lacey patterns of white eiderdown. Her very special handiwork patterned for a most spectacular Christmas Tree wonderland. My husband and I stood and gazed in wonder at their special purity their incomparable white beauty. They seem to whisper of pure love and joy and peace of contentment by serving God and of love into hearts of bringing Christ-lik- e all. Oh, these lovely Christmas trees need no colored lights to magnify their glory for they are as God made them, pure and white and clean painting scenes against the brilliant blue of Gods peaceful sky of beauty undefiled by mans insignificent attempts to trim a tree heralding the birth of our Savior near 2000 years ago. These lovely laden Christmas trees seem to whisper of Christs sacrafice that man might find and truly earn Eternal Life. In their purity they are typical of the purene-- s of His gifts of love. His mercies; His benevolence. We need not glitter the trees to pay homage, for Mother Nature painted them to in white glory for all the passers-b- y see, to feel to know that they do indeed whisper of Christs pure love for each of us. hing This is Christmas in pure a gospel of pure love. form-preac- Musical program by Beulah G.

If you want to talk to a relative or friend in Vietnam, arrange to have him place the call from there, Theron Johnson, local manager for Mountain Bell, , suggests. For a variety of reasons, it is virtually impossible to reach a particular serviceman by caUing from this end, he said. "Nearly all the calls completed between the two countries originate in Vietnam but are paid for in this country by having the charges reversed." According to the American Telephone and Telegraph Companys Long Lines Department, special arrangements have been made in Vietnam to help servicemen call home at their convenience. These arrangements were made through the cooperation of the U.S.O., the military, the Bell System and communications peo- - Jay Stahi, David Shepherd and Bryan Mecham are soloists in Ihe Goshen School Christmas Concert which will be given by the Goshen School Band on Monday, Dec. 21 at 10:00 a.m. in the school gym according to Lucille Evans, band director.

Calls can also be made from a number of hospitals and service centers at bases in the Vietnamese countryside, Johnson said. Five years ago anly about 30 caUs a day were being completed over two radio circuits that were in service four hours daily. These are still the only circuits that handle calls into Vietnam. But by providing special facilities at the Saigon U.S. 0. center, approximately 25 times as many outgoing calls are now being completed daily. These calls are carried by radio to Hong Kong and then to the United States on undersea cable or satellite circuits, he explained. Vietnam is 13 hours ahead of Mountain Standard Time.

We should be responsible to act positively in case of any type of disaster. A citizens handbook has been prepared for use by United States Departments relative to these subjects; The American Medical Association, The American National Red Cross, The National Geographic Society and the Civil Defense directors both on the state and local levels. It was recently told that in many cases of fire within the home, members of that family have perished because they have not been taught the proper proceedure of escape in the event of a natural disaster. Parents should have regular fire driUs to teach self preservation. It is suggested that lessons on the subject be given in the home on family evenings. Many parents have needlessly and literally returned to a home, through a blazing inferno, to rescue a child when actually the child has already been evacuated; but due to poor organization within the family unit, many needless deaths are caused. While local governments have been setting up plans mainly as safeguards against nuclear attack, they have saved lives and relieved people of much suffering in many peacetime disasters. People have been warned of impending storms and similiar dangers, told how to protect themselves from the elements, feed and clothe themselves and how to treat injuries and illnesses and have been given in 1936 where he acted as statistical clerk, from there he moved to Pleasant Grove as a local agent and was then transferred to Santaquin in 1958 where he has since made his home.

A delicious luncheon was served and attractive prizes were won. help in order that the unfortunate ones may resume their normal lives. Experience has shown that as cities, counties and towns develop their systems to preserve life under nuclear attack conditions, they also become better prepared to deal effectively with peace-tim- e disasters. Local officials in Spanish Fork and Payson have appointed Civil Defense Directors, but it is found that there is much apathy among the citizens of our towns. In the insuing weeks the following subjects will be given: Nuclear Attack and basic instructions to take; participations and emergency actions that will aid individuals to cope with major natural disasters, floods, hurricanes, tornados, winter storms and earthquakes; personal and family survival, medical self-helfirst aid, care of the sick and injured.
