WM. NEAL & SONS 0513126 1‘ 31521in Compliments of the Season IF EVERYONE who takes the wheel Would say a little prayer. And keep in mind those in the car Depending on his care. And make a vow and pledge himself Never to take a chance. ' The great crusade for safety Would suddenly advance. Your Dodge -DeSoIo Dealer IF EVERYONE could meet the wife And children with Dad gone. And step into the darkened home Where once happy faces shone. And look upon the “vacant chair" Where Dad was wont to sit, I am sure each reckless driver Would be forced to think a bit. IF EVERYONE who drives a car Could lie a month in bed. With broken bones and' ugly woundc Or fractures on the head. And then endure the agonies That many people do, They'd never need preach spfety Any more to me or you. IF EVERYONE could stand beside The bed of some close friend And hear the doctor say "No hope" Before that fatal end, And see him there unconscious, Never knowing what took place, The laws and rules of traffic I'm sure we’d soon embrace. m The W.M.S. of Victoria Square held its annual Candle-Lighting service at the Parsonage on Thursday of last week.

Never smoke eate, pipe or cigar tree. 5. Never use cotton or paper as decorations on or under the tree unlesg they are flameproof. 4. Place the tree in the coolest part of the house, away from radiators, heaters or fireplaces. Don’t let it block an exit. If it must go near a radiator, turn that radiator off. DON'T BANISH FRESH AIR 1. Choose a small tree. It’s just as pretty and is less of a hazard than a large tree. 2. Keep it outdoors until a day or two before Christmas. 3. When you set it up, stand it in water . . . or use a live tree in a pot of earth. To minimize thé danger, may we suggest some simple but ef- feqtivgr safety precautions: That tree is highly combustible. Filled with pitch and resin, it will ignite very easily and burn so furiously that it is almost im- possible to extinguish. Bringing it into the home brings in a def- inite and serious fire hazard. The festive act of “bringing in the Christmas tree” is also a po- tentially dangerous one.
