Rappahannock News, December 16, 1971

Lawrence Turner makes a basket just as the final whistle blows for the Strasburg-Panthers game Friday night. This was the first win the Panthers have experienced for a season or so and the elation which resulted after the tight battle was indescribable. The ball, seen in mid-air, gave Rappahannock 42 points to defeat the Rams who had a 40-point score. Turner also made the basket which had tied the score. RCHS Panthers Victorious In Friday Game With Strasburg By Roger Flinchum The Panthers broke their losing streak Friday, December 7 by defeating the Strasburg Rams, 4240, in a low score but high tension game at Strasburg. Both the tying basket and winning shot at the buzzer were scored by Lawrence Turner. Rappahannock was out to win. Two bus loads of students, escorted by both the principal and vice principal traveled to the game where they outnumbered and out shouted the home fans. Coach Carter Ellis and his team gave them something to shout about by winning the see-saw battle. Though behind by one point at the half and as much as seven points in the third and fourth quarters, the team’s hustle and the coach’s cool pulled the game out. The Panthers were hurt by their own turnover and poor foul shooting (only 31%). They dominated the boards, rebounding 34 times with 14 of them by Harry Jordan. Offensive Jordan was high scorer with fifteen points. Turner produced twelve points, including the tying and winning baskets. Bill Settle shot the ball only four times, but scored the three baskets and foul shot for a 100% shooting average. Senior Ronnie Myers ran the floor attack and Cliff Frye pulled in key rebounds all night. Senior Bill Kilby came off the bench to replace the fouled-out Jordan and pulled down two key rebounds and an all-important steal to round out the Panthers effort. It was a storybook game with the underdog, supported by an army of fans, battling back and winning on a Ion (23 foot) jump shot as the buzzer sounded. The floor after the game was flooded with cheering, crying, ecstatic fans as the silent strasburg fans filed out. Coach Ellis was highly pleased with the support and spirit of the school’s students. He remarked that it was more like a tournament atmosphere than anything else. If the team and fans are representative of the school and the school is representative of the county, then Rappahannock has nothing to be ashamed of, and lots to be proud of Friday night.

Kenyon , Jr. Game Warden One hundred and twenty-five deer have been killed and checked in Rappahannock County so far this year. Hunter success has dropped off since the first two weeks. However, it should pjpk up as it usually does around Christmas, New Year’s and of c :Jrse the last day. The last day will be Wednesday, January 5, and anterless deer will be legal. The fifth bear of the season in Rappahannock was taken near Chester Gap by Ray Smelser of Bentonville. Five turkeys have been checked here. Four were killed in Rappahannock. The latest hunters taking turkeys are William Cameron, Jr. of Chester Gap; Sherman Atkins of Flint Hill and Richard Burke of Huntly. Local hunters taking deer during the last two weeks include; John Silvey of Amissville, an 8 pointer; E. J. Welch oif Flint Hill, a 7 pointer; Pete Cave, his second of the season, a 3 point buck; David Pullen, 6 pointer and George Foster, 3 pointer, both of Flint Hill. Also three successful hunters from Washington, Shirley Clark, 3 pt; Ronnie Walters, 4 pt., his second of the year, and Ray Clatterbuck with a 7 pointer. Hunters are reminded to check their game law digest concerning seasons. Most come in at the same time, but many go out differently. (Continued on page 4) However, when Page County came to Rappahannock Tuesday night, they did not allow the Panthers two straight wins. Both the J. V. and varsity games were defeats for Rappahannock. The varsity lost 109-62 to a very strong Page County team. Starter Lawrence Turner was ill and could not play, while Cliff Frye and Harry Jordan both fouled out. Jordan was Rappahannock’s high scorer with 18. Bill Kilby replaced the ailing Turner and played a fine defensive game while adding eight points. Steve Leake, playing only part of the game, added 14 points. The Panthers’ next game will be against William Monroe at that school Friday, Decembe 17. Boston Family Home Razed By Fire The home of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Dodson of Boston was destroyed by fire Saturday night about 11:30. The Dodsons returned to their home from Castleton to find the structure ablaze. They failed to save any clothing, furniture or possessions whatever. Castleton and Culpeper fire companies responded to the alarm but the flames were too far advanced to extinguish. Castleton, however, remained to hose down other buildings and avoid further damage. The Dodson family needs any and all household goods and clothing. If anyone has a contribution they wish to make the clothing sizes are listed. Mrs. Dodson wears a size 14, dress, 34 blouse and 8 shoe. Mr. Dodson takes size 30/31 pants, 141/2 shirt, 8 shoe, 101/2 socks and 36 coat or jacket. James Dodson wears size 34/31 pants, 15-16 shirt, 8 shoe and 101/2 socks. Mr. Kennedy same size. Mr. Dodson is a tree surgeon by tfade and lost all of his working equipment, also. Contributions may be left at Winkler’s Store at Boston or Reva’s General Store. For further information call 987-2235. New Admis’n Policy For RCHS Sports By George W. Patterson Athletic Director In an effort to prevent anyone from being turned away from a future Rappahannock County High School basketball game, a new policy is going into effect starting December 20. Adult tickets will go on sale at the school the day before a game and the day of the game. Those people buying tickets in advance will be guaranteed admission until 7:30 p.m. After 7:30, the doors will be opened to anyone who could not get in because we were reserving space for pre-sale tickets. When our seating capacity is reached, the doors will be locked and no one else will be admitted. This does not mean that no one will be admitted before 7:30 without a pre-sale ticket. It simply means that admission will not be guaranteed without one. Students or adults may purchase the adult tickets in the high school office the day of the game or the school day before. These tickets cannot be used for any other game than the one stamped on it, nor can they be used at away games. We hope this policy will help prevent any recurrences of the unfortunate events at the Luray game when many local and visiting fans could not be admitted because we were filled to capacity.

Gann “is the story of one of the most thrilling of all historical events, the Roman siege of the Jews in the year 73 A.D., when two great antagonists faced each other: the Roman General Flavius Silva; and Eleazar ben Yair, leader of the 900 Jews resisting the power of Imperial Rome. For Flavius Silva, the problem is one of competing pressures - tactical, political, psychological. For Eleazar ben Yair there is the struggle to hold firm his people.

Dial 635-2128 The 1971st Christmas By: Donna Hart Parson i His year you will receive the nineteen hundred and seventyfirst Christmas that this wobbly old world has seen since it was sent spinning on its axis millions of years ago! this precious, indeed priceless, treasure comes magnificently wrapped in layer upon glittering layer of customs and traditions borrowed from many countries and families through the centuries. Here is your gift! Begin now to remove the wrappings so that you will arrive in Bethlehem Christmas Eve. Even before Advent wreaths appear in some churches and the lighting of the first candle leaves only three more Sundays before Christmas, the store windows have burst into tinsel, lights, and animated Santa Clauses. These are the first wrappings to come off, closely following by the tingling aroma of a dozen different kinds of cookies, fruitcakes, and candies, that are baked and stored for the holidays. Then, in delightful succession, off come the layers of cherubic choirs in wide red bows practicing carols with more good will than tune; the Salvation Army bell ringers on the street corners; lines of short wishers waiting to speak privately with Santa; church choirs assembling for the mighty choruses of “The Messiah;” the ordering of Christmas cards to be made from a family snapshot of last year’s snow scene; the receipt of the first Open House invitation; to say nothing of the veiled hints mivt wuu iui guus ui everything from hard rock candy to hard rock records. By the time (where has it gone; that the next two Sundays in December gather speed, you may be unwrapping the trip to the grocery for the plump turkey and trimmings; the stuffing of the freezer with goodies until the door falls open like Fibber McGee’s closet; the setting of electric candles in the house windows ta beckon the Christ Child on to Bethlehem; the presents that are hidden in neighbor’s closets away from the eager eyes of children; the frosty rime on the windows making it even more snug within; the practicing of the Christmas pageant in old bathrobes and costume jewelry; the bomming of carols from great cathedrals and small white church spires alike on the crisp December air; the appearance of nativity scenes on church lawns, some with real sheep; the red candles nestled in |holly rings on the tables; the I cutting of the Yule log to burn in the evergreen-swagged fireplace on Christmas Day ; and then the hanging of the wreath on the front door, and finally, into the living room is triumphantly borne the fragrant Christmas tree! Now off come the wrappings from the beloved time when cherished decorations from past Christmases are hung on the tree; the turning on of all the lights in all the windows up and down the cold December streets; of the mistletoe that is hung over the door; of the relatives that drive up in gift-laden cars; and the filling of the house to the brim with cooking, kindness, laughter, song, and expectation. _ On the last .Sunday- before Christmas, if you are especially favored, you might unwrap a thick snowfall dotted with sleds, red scarves, and many a “bellysmasher”! And finally, there remains only the dark blue foil shot with star beams of Christmas Eve, and the shiny rainbow foil of Christmas Day. As you open these at last you will find your heart expanding in the old dear way to hold all the happiness within: the hush ot Christmas Eve as you come from church; the forgiveness of old wrongs; the familiar carols at the piano with everyone joining in; the belief stealing over you that goodness really is at work in the world; the smell of roasting turkey and pumpkin pie; the kissing under the mistletoe; old Scrooge ghosting into Christmas in the St. Nick of time; the festive board set with the best china and crystal; the spoken word of love; the children’s faces on Christmas morning; the warmth of greeting old friends at the door; firelight reflecting on the most loved faces in all the world; the outpouring of kindness like no other time of the whole year--ALL of these delights are but the outside wrapping that contains the most wonderous gift ever given... “FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN THE CITY OF DAVID A SAVIOR WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD!“ Christmas Lighting Kay E. Webb, Ext. Agt. Special lighting at Christmas is one of the best ways to express to the world your joys of the season. Light symbolizes all the meaning of peace, joy, love and truth which is really what Christmas is about. To the highway travelers, outdoor lights give a sense of warmth and make their trips a little more enjoyable. Here are some precautions given by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, to take when planning for special lighting for the holiday season. 1. Check old strings of lights for chipped sockets, cracked connections and frayed wires. If badly damaged, throw them away. 2. Use only fireproof decorations and be sure that sockets and bulbs do not touch foilage, paper, or cotton. 3. Be sure that the tree has plenty of water. Inspect the tree frequently to see if needles are turning from the heat of the bulbs. 4. Disconnect lights at outlet when not in use, or when family is asleep or away. 5. All cords, plugs, sockets and bulbs used outside should be weatherproof and made for outdoor use. Make connections water tight by winding them with electrical tape or covering them with plastic or rubber film with the ends securely bound by electrician’s plastic tape. 6. Cords may be safely run through a window to an inside outlet through a hole drilled in a board that is inserted into the window. Close the window snugly on top of the board. 7. Use insulated staples to hold light strings in place. Never use nails, tacks or brads. 8. Do not leave any sockets empty. Little fingers, as well as decorative materials may get into them. From the star atop the tree to the cascae of lights adoring the tree and for all the other interior and exterior decorations, light helps to express your message of MERRY CHRISTMAS. Panther Tales By Brenda Printz The most exciting news around RCHS this week is the success of our Panthers against the Strasburg Rams Friday night. After a forty game losing streak the Panthers beat the Rams 42 to 40. The game, a close one all the way, was tied 40 to 40 when the final four seconds showed on the clock. Lawrence Turner carried the ball to half court and swooshed the ball for the winning two points. There is no way to describe the excitement felt by every Panther fan. In an instant everyone was out of the stands hugging and kissing the players and everyone else. Anyone who missed that game will never know or see again the joy felt. Much appreciation goes to the 89 students who went over on buses plus other students and fans who filled the Strasburg bleachers. The spirit and cheers of the group moved the team and junpressed our hosts, the Rams. The most and final thanks goes to the team and Mr. Ellis who put forth their best efforts to win the game for us. Monday RCHS played host to the 45th Army Engineer Band from Fort Belvoir. The Band played several selections including Christmas music and popular music. The students, especially the girls, enjoyed the good music and the good looking ~1 "I DANCE Sperryville Fire Hall Saturday, December 18 From 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. MUSIC BY THE COUNTRY CLASSICS Couple* only - No children under 14 year* old admitted.

Last Thursday and Friday Mr. Wingfield visited the French classes and talked about his trips overseas with the U.S. Navy. As one person commented Mr. Wingfield really showed himself to be human!

Christmas may never recover!! Again Saturday there was a big turnout of Seniors to work at Big Devil. All seven with Mr. Flinchum, the sponsor, worked in the kitchen and on the slopes. The lodge was flooded when two bright Seniors unscrewed the water faucet handle while washing dishes. Other than that the day ran smoothly. Two Seniors worked Sunday. I know Rappahannock is big but can two people really work in one place at one time and not know the other is there? Hey! Mr. Wingfield what were you doing Friday night at the game a rain dance? The Juniors are meeting Wednesday after school to finalize the theme for this year’s prom. The word is out that any Senior caught snooping around will be used for target practice. Hey Juniors keep your cool we don’t need to snoop some Junior will slip and let us in on your little secret! The FHA is sponsoring a beauty contest! The faculty baby pictures are the contestants.

Francis Tinsman, operator of the Leesburg Livestock Market, a posted stockyard at Leesburg, has been fined $500 and enjoined by a Federal Court from violating reporting requirements of the Packers and Stockyards Act, the U. S. Department of Agriculture said today. j The U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, enjoined Mr. Tinsman, as long as he remains subject to the Act, from failing to file any annual or special reports required by the Secretary of Agriculture under the Packers and Stockyards Act. Mr. Tinsman has since filed the required report. The P&S Act a fair trade practices law. It promotes and maintains fair and open competition in the marketing of livestock, poultry and meat. The Act is administered on a nondiscriminatory basis. Candles Bring Warm Glow to The Winter Holiday Season In many homes nothing suits the holiday season more than a slowburning Santa Claus. Reindeer, dimpled angels, and snowballs can add to the glow No matter what its size- or shape, the candle, a source of light for countless centuries, rates a place with the Christmas tree and “Auld Lang Syne,” the National Geographic Society says. The traditional light has come a long way since some ingenious ancient discovered that he could coat a fibrous wick with fatty substances and produce a light superior to pitch knots or greasesoaked reeds. Shaped to Order The creative designs of today’s candles cover almost every festive occasion. They appear as ice cream sodas, flowers, and clowns. Massive centerpieces carved like giant pillars light banquet tables; delicate tapers shaped like bamboo shoots illuminate more intimate meals. Ordinary candles brighten some homes every night of the year. “A candle,” says one glowing enthusiast, “is the necktie of home furnishing-the final, perfecting touch.” Few things in use today are as old as candles. The ancient Greeks made them by dipping papyrus or hemp impregnated with sulphur into liquid tallow or beeswax. The Romans improved the Grecian candles by using solidified oils. In colonial America, generations of housewives made fragrant candles from bayberries. The waxy green berries grow on bushes throughout New England. An old rhyme says: “Baybeiry candles Burned to the socket Bring joy to the house And gold to the pocket.” Candles have long been used in rituals and ceremonies. The old Testament mentions both candles and candlesticks. Present-day churches are the largest institutional users in the United aiaies. Flames Fostered Legends While candles traditionally are associated with religious worship, many superstitions have leapt from the flickering light. If a flame burns blue, there is a ghost in the house. A spark signifies that a letter is coming to the person sitting nearest the flame. Candles have been turned to uses other than lighting. England’s King Alfred the Great (849-899) ordered the manufacture of timekeeping tapers sized to burn in 24 hours. A thin horn shield protected the flickering clock against air currents. In both England and the American colonies, the saying “sale by the inch of a candle” signified an auction at which people could bid until a bit of candle burned out. Modem machines speed the work that early craftsmen knew so well, but some chandlers still hand-dip or mold the finest candles.

Savings Reach $363,000 in Year With their savings at a record level during the past 12 months, residents of Rappahannock County are in better than usual shape financially. Despite the recession, the average local family is approaching the end of the year with a record amount of cash and other savings tucked away. The net result is that there is a treasure trove of additional buying power waiting in the wings. Although a little of it has been allowed to trickle out in the last few months, it is still only a trickle, compared with what it could be. The bulk of it is being held back by consumers to await more stable economic conditions. Once they are convinced that inflation has been brought under control, that their jobs are safe and that the 'country is heading back to normal, they will be ready to unleash these pent-up savings and embark on a spending spree. ■ In turn, say the experts, that would give new momentum to industry, would create more jobs, reduce unemployment and spark the economv as a whole.

The figures are based upon data compiled by the Federal Reserve Board, the University of Michigan and others through national sampling surveys. They show that the amount of money a family puts into savings depends upon several factors, but especially upon its earnings. Local families that have less than $4,000 available to them after taxes have little leeway and are unable to do much saving. Among those with net incomes of $7,500, an average of 6.2'percent is saved and, at $9,000, about 7.2 percent. It rises rapidly beyond this point. In Rappahannock County, where the latest annual figures show a net, after-tax income of $5,647 per household, the average is 4.3 percent and the amount saved per household, approximately $240. Sen. Byrd Given Dis. Service Award Washington, D.C. -- Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr., of Virginia today was presented the Distinguished Service Award by the Board of Trustees of the nonpartisan Americans for Constitutional Action. The ACA award is given every two years to legislators whose records in Congress, in the Trustees’ opinion, “support legislation which serves to strengthen and defend the spirit and principles of the Constitution of the United States.” Byrd has received the award twice previously, in 1967 and 1969. In presenting the award; Charles A. McManus, President of ACA, saluted Byrd for his support of “fundamental principles of good government.” McManus said acceptance of the award by Byrd does not imply the Senator’s agreement with all principles espoused by ACA. “Our purpose is solely to honor him for his dedication to the Constitution,” McManus said.

W. Burgess, the Department’s Superintendent, revealed today. The nine degrees in Health and Physical Education, Business Economics, Sociology, Law Enforcement, History, Social Sciences, Forestry and Political Science were obtained from Pikeville College of Kentucky, the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Old Dominion University (3), East Tennessee State University, East Carolina University, Wayne Community College of North Carolina and Virginia Commonwealth University. The other six with college backgrounds studied at Virginia State College, Oregon State University, the^University of Nebraska, Lincoln Memorial University of Tennessee, the University of Virginia Extension at Lynchburg and John Tyler Community College of Chester, Va. “We are very gratified to see young men with these backgrounds join our Department and invest in a law enforcement career,” Colonel Burgess said. Noting that there are still about 60 trooper vacancies, Colonel Burgess explained that the basic educational requirement for the position is a high school diploma or its equivalent through the General Education Development Program. GAME REPORT— (Continued from Page 1) This Saturday, December 18, will be the last day of turkey season statewide. The bear season ends the last day of December. Coming in again next week will be dove season. This the last part of a split season will open at 12 noon the 22nd of December and close January 3, 1972. The hunter safety program in the Rappahannock County High School was completed in November. One hundred and one students in the eighth and ninth grades took part in the program. This program has been annually sponsored by the Rappahannock Game and Fish Club. As has been pointed out to the students, successfully completing this course does not guarantee the person will handle guns safely or that failing the course necessarily mean that person is a poor gun handler. The course is intended to teach safe gun handling and by means of a written test an attempt is made to determine which students possess a sufficient knowledge of safe gun handling. It was pointed out that safe gun handling comes with practice. Parents with youngsters who handle guns are urged to work with them along these lines. Tenth grade students were given a brief introduction to wildlife managements. An effort was made to make these boys aware of some of the management practices used and to show that through management wildlife can benefit greatly. Four hours of instruction including the test were given in both courses. 1 ITS vueiee ,^T FOR A XMAS PRESENT Why not give your husband, father, son or brother something they have always wanted.

This saying, however, refers to the forming of character in the young. If their cultural environment does not teach them aesthetic values, chances are that they will grow up to be litter bugs. I want to share an article from one of my magazines. The title of it is Little and Culture. Here are some excerpts-'It is necessary to cultivate the aesthetic sense of the individual. He must be made aware at an early age of the personal value of orderly arrangement and neatness as constituting a form of harmony and beauty. Those things must not be an imposition or a discipline exclusively. Rather, their advantages should be made known to the individual. Their satisfaction should be taught, their advantages should be made known to the individual. Their satisfaction should be taught, by contrast, to what is ugly, disheveled, and disordered. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder is a truism. If one at an early age is exposed to certain environmental conditions that provide sensual satisfactions and is told that this is beautiful, he will gradually accept such as an ideal of beauty. One who has cultivated a love of the symmetry and harmony of nature and the orderliness of his surroundings will not be guilty of littering, simply because he does not want to offend himself, realizing the self is related to his environment.’ The foregoing is rather deep, I suppose, but it does reflect on the one who litters. As the season approaches when there is a lot of surplus wrappings and those who indulge in liquid refreshments will be in their heyday, why not pause and asky yourself, ‘If the Christ should come to earth to celebrate His Birthday would I be willing for Him to know that I am guilty of this mess?” PATRONIZE YOUR ADVERTISERS Swutfr* BETTER MEN'S WEAR 120 E.

Agent Remember when one of the big events of the Holiday Season was going out to cut your own Christmas tree. Traditionally, it was a fragment, sticky, Virginia cedar. My cousins and I would start out with an ax and between the good natured rough and tumble horseplay; and looking over many tree for one that was single pronged, full on all sides, and just the right height; it would take the best part of a wilder afternoon. After dragging the tree home and stuffing it through the front door, it was always taller by two or three feet than the living room ceiling. Even in our late teens we never did learn how to judge the height of a tree in relationship to a ceiling. You and your children can still recapture this traditional event uy driving over to Bill Keim’s Quail Call Christmas tree farm. It is not far out of Amissville on the Viewtown road. Bill has beautifully shaped scotch pines of varying heights for sale. And if you like, you can select and cut your own. Recommend a week day trip so as to avoid the crowd. If you still haven’t found the right gift for some of your business associates or city friends, you can still shop in Rappahannock. A quarter, half or full bushel of specially selected locally grown apples could be the answer. How about giving your cows an extra bonus for Christmas so that they can return extra dividend next year. Spray for lice while the weather is still warm enough. There are several good products on the market that have given 99 to 100% lice control. NOTICE-NOTICE There will not be a SHOOTING MATCH at Sperryville Carnival Grounds on December 24 or December 31 Shooting matches will resume Friday, January 7.1972 Commission Boys Fluvanna Trad The Commission of Game and inland Fisheries has exercised options to purchase 90S acres along the James and Hardware Rivers in Fluvanna County for use as a public hunting area, announced Executive Director Chester F. Phelps. The parcels known locally as Kidd Mill Farm and the Ritchie Estate are located about S miles downstream from Scottsville and include some two miles of frontage on the James River and 3 miles on the Hardware River. Except for 80 acres of bottomland, all of the area is wooded, much of it recently logged. “Acquistion, marking, and development will definitely not be complete in time to open the area to hunting this season,” Phelps said. The new management area is reparted to have a good deer herd and will offer some hunting opportunity for hunting quail, squirrels, and turkeys. The bottomland fields may provide some dove shooting. Smallroouth fishing is reported good in this section of the James and Hardware Rivers. Development plans include a boat ramp which will provide a launching point for float fishermen and ^ duck hunters between the existing Commission ramps at Scottsville and Columbia. One of the tracts has a potential site for a 30 acre pond. - 9 Best access to the management area is by means of Route 646 leading south from Route 6 some 6 miles east of Scottsville. It is hoped that the area can be opened for use by fishermen some time in the spring.

Monday Mrs. Lehman visited Avoid Tragedy-Says Health Department Soon families throughout the nation and Virginia will start transforming evergreen trees into works of art. All sprayed, trimmed, sprinkled and wrapped, the tree becomes a shimmering delight and source of pride. But to the family whose Christmas tree once caught fire, the vision is not quite so pretty. The Virginia State Department of Health has some suggestions to avoid such a tragedy. Because evergreens are filled with pitch and resin they burn rapidly. Another reason they catch fire is they are allowed to dry out. Rapid drying can be reduced by buying a fresh tree; one with springy branches and tight green needles. The tree should be kept outdoors, standing in water or snow, until it is time to decorate it. Once inside, keep the tree in a sturdy stand which is constantly filled with water. For added protection mix into a gallon of water: nine ounces of Borax; four ounces of Boric Acid and; one and one half teaspoons of low sudsing detergent. As the tree absorbs the mixture, add more to the tree stand’s water reservoir. Absorption can be increased by sowing the base of the tree on a •slant. Where the tree is located in the room is important too. Keep it away from heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces and heat ducts. Place the tree so that if it falls it will not block a doorway. The type of decorations used can greatly influence the chances of the tree catching fire. Electric lights are the most likely source. Only Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) approved lights that are in good repair should be used. And the trailing cords should be taped to the baseboard where they will not be tripped over. Electric lights should be used with caution anywhere but especially on metal trees. Also, the fuse of the circuit serving the tree should not be over fifteen amperes. The tree lights should ways be unpluged when retiring or leaving the house. If children are to help decorate the tree, reserve the lower branches for them. And use soft, unbreakable ornaments that will be within reach of children and pets. Fireproof ornaments should be used elsewhere on the tree. Remove the tree when the needles begin to fall.
