KEEP CHRISTMAS
TREES IN WATER;
HERE IS REASON
Better keep your Christmas tree
standing in water from the time you
get it home until you discard it
after the holidays.
That’s the most practical, satis
factory and convenient method
found so far for reducing the fire
hazard and preventing needles from
discoloring or falling, according to
the U.S. Forest Service.
The Forest Products Laboratory,
Wis„ has tested water and a num
ber of fire-retardant chemicals as
to their effectiveness in cutting
down the inflammability of Christ
mas trees.
Here’s how to carry out the water
treatment, in detail, as recom
mended by the investigators. Select
a tree cut as recently as possibly.
Cut about an inch, diagonally, off
the bottom of the trunk. Stand the
tree at once in a container of water
and keep the water level above the
edges of the cut during the entire
time the tree is in the house. If
the tree is not to be set up at once,
keep it, still standing in water, in
a cool place. According to the in
vestigators, freshly cut trees, stand
ing in water, “cannot be set on fire
by candle or match fires, but of
course will not withstand a large
source of heat.”
The tests showed that keeping
the tree standing in water prevents
the needles from drying out and
becoming inflammable so they con
tinue to appear fresh and green.
Trees standing in fire-retardant
chemicals, however, did not take up
the chemicals as rapidly or in as
large amounts as in the. case of
water, which resulted in increased
combustibility, needle discoloration
or fall. Trees actually lost weight
while being treated with chemicals,
showing that even during the treat
ment they werd losing moisture and
thus becoming inflammable.

work with him during the past two
years. We shall miss his assistance

popular with our scouts. However,
we hope that he may be able to

! RICHARD PETERS
| IS NAMED MANAGER
OF STATION KINY
_
William J. Wagner, General Man
: ager of the Alaska Broadcasting
' Company, was scheduled to leave
. Juneau for Ketchikan today via
Pan American Airways. He has been
in Juneau since Friday morning
i conferring with staff members of
| station KINY and planning the in
stallation of new transmitter equip
ment which will strengthen and
clarify the broadcast signal. The
pioneer Alaska broadcaster recently
supervised the installation of a five
kilowatt transmitter at KFRB, ,
I Fairbanks, w'hich was operating on ■
j a thousand watts since its opening j
I two and a half years ago. While
! here Wagner announced several I
staff assignments for KINY per- j
sonnel. They included the appoint- {
ment of Richard Peter, News Editor I
and Program Director, to be Sta
tion Manager; and Miss Juanita
Underwood, Alaska Broadcasting
Company sales representative, to
handle the station’s commercial de
partment.
Wagner also revealed that John
Ashbaugh, former station manager,
who went to Portland, Oregon, for
medical attention, has been ap
pointed Alaska Broadcasting Com
pany representative in that city,
and plans to open an office there,
to represent the Alaska network of
six stations, as well as stateside
broadcasters and advertisers. His
wife, Betty, plans to work in the
office with him. Wagner reported
: that Ashbaugh is making a splendid
recovery from a recent operation
and may be out of the Veterans’
HospitaJ by Christmas.
The Alaska radio executive had
hoped to remain in Juneau longer,
but as he was a day late in arriving
because of flying conditions, he de
cided to leave early so to be able ,
to visit his ,Ketchikan station, |
KTKN, before going to Seattle to |
spend the holidays with Mrs. Wag- j
ner, and other relatives in the i
northwest.
