Incredible Speed of a Live Christmas Tree Fire - PSA Video


Incredible Speed of a Live Christmas tree Fire

Uploaded on Dec 15, 2007 - Incredible Speed of a Live
Christmas tree Fire - PSA Video. PSA showing the incredible speed of a live
Christmas tree fire. Fire spreads up the tree and gushes across the ceiling,
setting the rest of the room ablaze. Smoke engulfs the frame from the top down
until all is black. It's a real eye-opener as to the dangers of a short in a
string of Christmas lights. Creative Commons license: Public Domain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2dNN2waoSw

December 8, 1922: Be Careful In Gathering Your Christmas Greens - Democratic Advocate

Be Careful In Gathering Your Christmas Greens


This is the season of the year when property owners, especially along the highways, should exercise the utmost vigilance in protecting their evergreens, holly, running pine, laurel and the like.

The gathering of Christmas greens became such a serious matter, because of vandalism practiced, that the Legislature of 1918 enacted a special law covering the subject.

This law makes it a misdemeanor, with a fine of $25.00 or 90 days imprisonment, or both, to remove, injure, or destroy any trees or shrubs, without the written consent of the owner, or except under his personal direction.

The State Board of Forestry is cooperating with land owners in the enforcement of this law, and will be glad to furnish, without charge, suitable posters for the protection of property to any who may desire them.

Politico: Christmas tree tax tabled by Obama

On Tuesday, the administration gave the evergreen light for a new fee of 15 cents on all Christmas trees. But after a day of media attention and widespread criticism, the Obama administration confirmed to POLITICO that they were looking to delay the implementation of the fee.

“USDA is going to delay implementation and revisit this action,” said Matt Lehrich, a White House spokesman, while denying that the fee was a tax.
“I can tell you unequivocally that the Obama Administration is not taxing Christmas trees. What’s being talked about here is an industry group deciding to impose fees on itself to fund a promotional campaign, similar to how the dairy producers have created the “Got Milk?” campaign,” Lehrich said.
The new tax was meant to raise funds for an advertising campaign promoting the benefits of live trees, as opposed to artificial ones. The tax was expected to raise approximately $2 million, according to McClatchy News.
Conservatives had been in an uproar about the new tax.
“Does anyone in America - anyone? - believe that Christmas trees have a bad image that needs taxpayer-subsidized improvement?” wrote Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) on his blog Wednesday. “All I want for Christmas is a free market.” ...  Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1111/67933.html
