practice of celebrants to observe the end of the holiday season by burning their Christmas trees in one great bonfire.But the ecology movement has apparently finished off any remnants of this old custom here in this country.In one mid western city, where the burning of Christmas trees had been an annual community event for many years, complaints from pollution-conscious citizens has forced the abandonment of the tradition.So much pressure w as brought to bear on the local pollution control agency by environment-minded residents that harried officials were forced to reject a request for an
