Word to the Wise on Real Christmas Trees
Editorial notes from Garden City Telegram cautioning readers about real trees hazards. Advice from the National Board of Fire Underwriters includes buying a fresh tree and keeping it watered, placing it away from heat sources, using flame proof decorations, checking lights and wires, keeping the light switch away from the tree, avoiding electric trains near the tree, and monitoring dryness. They suggest setting up the tree the day before Christmas but prefer earlier to keep it fresh. Best wishes for a non flammable Christmas.

A lighthearted column riffing on holiday sprinkles avoiding Santa, a toy-store overheard exchange about gifts, and a couple joking about yard work. The authors joke they are aging like Jack Benny at thirty-nine and joke about a sprawling yard as their rest cure. They toast 1964 with a new calendar from a Pierceville merchant and plan dental appointments.
