HE way was prepared for the coming of Jesus. The prophets of
old had proclaimed it and the priests had ever told their flocks:
"Put aside your worldly ways and prepare your hearts for the
coming of the Messiah.
"The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord, and make straight in the desert a highway for our God."

May Easily Go
Up in Smoke
By DAVID TAYLOR MARKE
AP Newsfeatures
Each year fire turns Christ-
mas, the most joyful time of the
year, into tragedy in hundreds of
American homes. But if parents
knew of the hazards surrounding
a Christmas tree, and learned how
to prevent tragic fires, says the
National Safety council, they
could help keep Christmas as joy-
ful as it should be.
How can you prevent accidents
from ruining your holiday? All
you have to do, says the council,
is to follow some simple rules.
First buy a fresh, green tree.

tree holders with a water cup
and fill it daily.
Plain water is best, says the
Council. Chemicals to be added to
the water, supposedly to fire-
proof the tree, have not proved to
be satisfactory. Some have made
trees even more flammable. No
fireproofing done at home can be
depended upon.
Be sure that your tree is fas-
tened with wire or cord to at least
two points on the wall to prevent
it from being pushed over by jun-
ior.
If junior is to help you trim
the tree, reserve the lower
branches for his contributions to
the artistic effect. Do not, under
any circumstances, use cotton or
paper for decoration on the tree
or around the tree.
Get your Christmas tree lights
out of storage well in advance. Do
it now, says the Council. Look
over the wires and examine each
socket carefully. If the socket is
broken, if any of its parts appear
to be loose, if any bare metal is
visible where the wires enter the
socket, then cut that socket out of
the string and replace it with a
new one.
If you use metal foil “icicles,”

Hybrid Grass Expected
To Develop Ranges
BERKELEY, Calif. (U.P)_Scien-
tific cross-breeding of grasses may
increase the productivity of west-
ern ranges in the same way hy-
brid corn boosted midwestern
yields.
Dr. G. L. Stebbins, University
of California scientist, says experi-
ments with Brome grasses “offer
much hope” that ranchers soon
will be able to graze their cattle
on new man-made forage.
He reports that features of as
many as seven different types of
grasses were combined into a
single hybrid type by cross-breed-
ing.
Some of the new plants, started
three years ago, are growing vig-
orously in the university’s botani-
cal gardens. They are much larg-
er and leafier than some of their
wild relatives, growing alongside
them.
Their strength indicates they
will be able to flourish in range
areas, Stebbins says.

Refugee Veterinarians
Find U. S. Doors Tight
CHICAGO (U.R) —Several hun-
dred European veterinarians who
want to enter the United States
probably would find it difficult to
get licenses to practice, the Amer-
ican Veterinary Medical associa-
tion reports.
“Unfortunately, even though
more veterinarians are needed in
the United States,” the association
said, “there is no national agency
for assuring professional recogni-
tion for the Europeans to practice
in this country.”
Many states require veterinari-
ans to be graduates of accredited
American colleges “or of schools
which maintain a comparable
course of study,” the group said.
It added that information now on
file concerning European schools
is no longer accurate.

circuit by being careful not to al-
low the metal to come in contact
with any lighting sockets or fix-
tures.
Don’t attach too many light
strings to one outlet. A blown
fuse is the signal of a dangerous
overload. Be sure fuses are the
right size' and never use a penny
in a fuze socket.
Don’t use lighted candles on the
Christmas tree or with other
decorations. Place the tree well
away from a fireplace or any oth-
er location where it is exposed to
sparks or strong heat. Also keep
tissue wrappings away from heat.
On Christmas morning, provide
a large basket, box or carton for
the gift wrapping removed from
the presents. Remove the wrap-
pings from the room as soon as
possible after the gifts have been
opened. ,
Other prevention hints are pro-
vided by the National Board of
Fire Underwriters. They add that
it is a good idea to provide a
switch some distance from the
tree, rather than a plug, for turn-
ing the electric lights off and on;
not to leave tree lights burning
when no one is home; inspect the
tree to see whether any of the
needles near the lights . have
