Fire Chief Stringer Suggests
Some Christmas Tree Precautions
In the immediate days to come,
many Anaheim homes shine with
the warmth and splendor of
Christmas trees, the traditional
symbol of the Yuletide in America.
While the Christmas tree
stands for joy and gladness, it
can also produce horror and
heartbreak if not properly
installed and handled, according to
Anaheim Fire Chief Ed J. Stringer.
To take the chances of mishap out of public and home-installed Christmas trees, Chief Stringer lists some precautions as follows:
Location is Important
"When planning your Christmas tree at home, choose a safe location away from any heat source and where the tree cannot fall and block a doorway; cut the base on an angle, stand it in a container of wet sand or water, brace it well, and use only non-flammable decorations. Flame-proofed cotton and crepe paper, non-flammable plastics, tinsels and flameproofed trees are available and will reduce the fire hazards.
Christmas tree lights and wiring should be of the approved type. Never use wiring with frayed or damaged insulation and avoid overloading circuits. Don't run wiring over nails. Try to arrange light globes so they are not in contact with the tree needles, branches or gifts."
per, wrappings as these materials are extreme fire hazards. Be extra careful with smoking around the tree and home.
Christmas trees placed in public places are covered by a set of regulations which should be observed meticulously. All trees more than three feet in height must be treated with flameproofing material. Trees under three feet in public places need not be treated, but decorations must be of flameproof material and lights must be of the approved type.
Places of public assemblage include following: schools, churches, auditoriums, lodge halls, banks, stores, office buildings, cocktail bars, dance halls or any other place not classified as a private home.
One Tree Per Room
Trees must be placed in the room away from the general public and not more than one tree may be placed in any one room. All decorations must be of flameproof material. No door or exit may be blocked with a Christmas tree or decorations. Fire inspections will be made during the holidays and tests will be made for flameproofing.
"We ask the cooperation of the public in making 'this coming Christmas a safe holiday.' Chief Stringer said." The Fire Department will be glad to cooperate in any way possible to help make
Doctor Explains 'Living Habits' Study on Cancer
The more than 500 volunteer researchers who will be carrying out Orange County's share of the nationwide American Cancer Society's Living Habits Study — the six-year poll of the effect of living habits and environment on cancer — are contributing the equivalent of from $225,000 to $600,000 to the fight against cancer, according to Dr. Bernard M. Davis, chairman of Orange County's study.
In California alone, Cancer Society volunteers will be doing work that could cost from $21 million to $6 million if done by professional pollitakers, and nationally the cost could be from 15 to 40 million dollars, Dr. Davis pointed out.
"And that's just the first year!" he added. "No one can even start to figure how much the whole six years would cost if the questionnaires were handled by professionals, because, when asked to quote a price, the professionals just threw up their hands and said it couldn't be done!"
Davis said, "You realize how important the volunteer researcher is to this study of cancer when you know that leading national pooling agencies' quotes per individual questionnaire varied from $15 to $40, and that the nationwide ACS Living Habits Study will cover about one million Americans over the age of 30."
Orange County Farmers Elect ASC Committee
Results of the annual election of committeemen and alternates for the Orange Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee are announced by Eric E. Eastman, secretary of the County Tabulation Committee.
The three regular members of the 1959 committee were re-elected, namely R. Cecil Farnsworth of Tustin and Talbert, chairman; Joseph R. Callens of Santa Ana and Smeltzer, vice chairman; and Ernest H. Gisler of Huntington Beach, regular member. First alternate is Ernest L. Danker of Yorba Linda; and second alternate member is Marco J. (Tom) Forster of San Juan Capistrano.
In this election, the farmer receiving the largest total vote is elected chairman; the one receiving the second largest, vice chairman; and the third highest, regular member; and in order, first and second alternates.
All Farmers Eligible
All farmers, whether operators or owners are eligible to vote, Eastman explains, and adds that the ballot provides spaces for write-in names, and that there were nine write-in names this year with one ballot cast for each of the nine. This record will be available for the consideration of next year's nominating committee. Eastman added.
The 1960 committee takes off-
Davis said, "You realize how important the volunteer researcher is to this study of cancer when you know that leading national pooling agencies' quotes per individual questionnaire varied from $15 to $40, and that the nationwide ACS Living Habits Study will cover about one million Americans over the age of 30."
Dr. Davis said that it is hoped that out of the mass of statistical information from such a large sampling, definite patterns will take shape either to prove or disprove many old and new theories about cancer.
He asks that any person wishing further information about the Living Habits Study, or those who wish to volunteer as researchers, are asked to call the Orange County Branch of the American Cancer Society, 848 N. Birch St., Santa Ana.
Management Unit to Receive Awards

The 1960 committee takes office on July 1, and continue for the calendar year. The duties of the committee are to establish policies for the operation of the stabilization and conservation programs in this county during the period of its term of office.
All farmers interested in the establishment of practices for the conservation of soil or water, as well as in price support programs are invited to contact the committee, either personally or through the county office in Santa Ana, of which Eastman is manager.
