' PLAY IT SAFE
Don't Mix Gaiety With Danger
When Celebrating Christmas
While Christmas is the merriest of all seasons of the year it
can also be a time of tragedy if certain hazards aren't avoided and
some particular precautions taken.
The National Safety Council an-
nually points out that the Christ-
mas holidays are the most danger-
ous of the year, usually replete
with casualties, home accidents,
fires and falls.
The council has listed the follow-
ing "don'ts" and precautions which
if remembered will help make this
Christmas season a safe one:
The Christmas tree shouldn't be
placed near a stove or fireplace.
Don't give children any toys
that could prove dangerous, ~
such as those with sharp points.
If toys are operated with elec-
tricity, be sure some grownup
supervises their use.
The Christmas tree should not be
decorated with lighted candles.
Carefully-wired electric bulbs de-
finitely are much safer.
""Don't leave a lighted tree un-
guarded at any time. One should
be on the lookout for fire all the
time the tree is lighted. Especially
dangerous is the practice of some
families in leaving the Christmas
tree lighted and unwatched all
night long.'
One should never use a rick-
ety, unsafe ladder In decorating
the tree. (
Don't place Christmas candles
near the tree, curtains," paper
wreaths or any other inflammable
decorations.
Remember, the Christmas tree
can be made fire-resistant. Accord-
ing to the United States forestry
service, it can be done in this man-
ner: Divide the weight of your tree
by four and buy that many pounds
of ammonium sulphate. Dissolve It
in water—one and one-half pints
of water to each pound of ammo-
nium sulphate. Cut the end of your
tree trunk on a diagonal. Put some
of the solution in a jar and stick
the diagonal butt of the tree into
it. Add more solution as the tree
drinks it up.
- Don't be excessive about
Christmas "spirits." _
Keep toys out of places where
people might trip over them.
Remove fhe tree from the house
before it dries out. 7 —
During Christmas you'll probably
have many guests, so sprinkle salt
or sand on icy steps and sidewalks.

Jimmy Rankin Will Run
For County Judge Post,
Says Lorenzo Tribune
With the 1950 political year
just around the corner, Crosby
county citizens are already begin-
ning to wonder^— and discuss
who will be a candidate for what
office in the county.
Last week Editor Garner of the
Lorenzo Tribune printed the fol-
lowing:- . '
"Jimmy Rankin of Ralls called
at our office Wednesday and we
naturally drifted into politics, and
he informed us that he would pro-
bably be a candidate for County
Judge next year; however, if he
decides to run he will not make
his announcement until after Jan.
1. The Ralls Banner carried an
article several weeks ago stating
.hat County Judge Pieratt would
probably resign the first of the
year, btit we understand that he
later denied this. However, his
family is living in Lubbock and
the Judge is staying at the Smith
House in Crosbyton.
"This race for county judge of-
fice will be open and is believed
that four or five candidates will
enter thisjrace."
