"For those who will use candles (he didn’t advise not to!) the following advice is given: Be sure the tree sets firmly in an adequate base so it will not tip. Place it a safe distance from lace curtains and other inflammable furnishings. Don’t put cotton under the tree to resemble snow, nor on the tree itself. Use asbestos snow (Honest! That’s what he said!) and mica. Discard festoons of ordinary tissue paper, celluloid ornaments and all flimsy combustible decorations using only non—inflammable tinsel and ornaments. See that there is ample clearance about all candles and do not leave a lighted tree unwatched. Don’t let the children touch a lighted tree and don’t remove presents until candles are extinguished. Clothing or presents might become ignited. Don’t permit a draft of air to sway branches while tree is lighted. Everything should be done at Christmas time to safeguard the holiday joy, especially of the children who are usually the innocent victims.”
