Bartel, Associate Mrs. Robert W. P Deerfield Editor Gladys Udell, Advertising Carelessness of a child nearly caused serious injury to a resident in the north end of Highland Park early last week. Returning to her home after night fall, Monday evening, one of our citizens stumbled over a tricycle which had been thoughtâ€" lessly left on the sidewalk by some child. Fortunately this woman was only slightly injured, but the fall might have proved very disastrous. t . 5J â€" â€" Wednesday noon to insure appearance in current issue. Won‘t the children of Highland Park try to be more considerate of others? Many times in the business district, bicycles and tricycles are left sprawled all over the sidewalks, makingâ€"it almost impossible for pedestrians to pass. s N in 'Anot'her' pl."wtiee \yhich is gxceedingly'dnngerous' is the eral boys stood in the business district and threw thistles at motorists. It may seem a very small matter, but should one of the thistles hit someone in the eye, it might cause the driver to lose control of his car and thus cause an accident, which might prove fatal to some innocent victim. What some children may term "fun" sometimes turns out to be very costly, and surely there is no child in Highland Park who really wants to be reâ€" sponsible for an accident. PAGE FOUR It is estimated that prorofly valued at more than eleven million dollars was destroyed by fire in lllinois during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1937. This is 10 per cent less than the Joss so reported in the pneedinf fiscal dyeqr. The number of fires reported was i6,492, a decrease of alâ€" most 8 per cent. While these reductions are somewhat gratifying, it is hoped they indicate a definite trend toward a permanent minimum. However, it is sad to note 164 deaths from fire or burns, and 462 injuries, were reported during this period. Fire takes a heavy toll in life and limb as well as in property.. eR _ L a Property Josses and casuaities from fire are largely due to causes which are preventable. Most of them result from carelessness or negliâ€" gence. Education is one of the strong allies of fire prevention. Because of this fact, it is well that certain days be set aside each year to stimuâ€" ;li.i;t: interest among our citizens in reducing this needless waste and ster. a _ Fire chiefs, should take a leading part in carrying out educational proâ€" grams in their communities, supplemented by inspection of important business properties and public buildings. > _ _ _ . | _ _ _ “_fi;;l, Therefore, I, Hénry Horner, Governor of Illinois, do hereby desâ€" ignate and proclaim the week of October 3 to 9, 1937 to be observed in the state of Illinois as Fire Prevention Week. § Ni sls 0 f}::';l;’r.p;se;f"t‘ll-;s-we;l; is i:)|r;|pres; Vl;lv)cm the public the extent of our fire losses, the ‘)revenuble nature of their causes and the necessity of coâ€"operation by all citizens in reducing them. _ _ KS 50k __ Civic clubs are invited to devote their meetings that week to the subâ€" ject of fire prevention. sQ O Sm l altelt Un & 3 ’“vF‘{;e..i);ez;;ifé;lv'â€"[;;mrnms, with instruction in fire emergencies and practice of fire drills, should be conducted in all schools and in places of public assembly. _ _ _ _ _ ) _ m als t 2 uL Pm en Oe The }frivwe individual should make sure that his premises are fireâ€" safe. eating plants should be inspected carefully and necessary reâ€" pairs made.
