PROCLAMATION Members of McHenry Township Fire District are preparing for fire prevention week beginning Oct. 3 through Oct. 9. President Nixon issued the following proclamation: Despite unparalleled technological advances in many areas of our society, uncontrolled fires continue to bring a great deal of tragedy and widespread loss to our Nation. Fires now kill more than 12,000 persons each °year and cause annual property losses exceeding $2 billion. The most shameful aspect of this terrible waste is that it is so unnecessary. Most fires are caused by carelessness, by lack of knowledge, or by hazardous conditions - all of which can be Install Woodstock Man Head Of 11th Legion District Peter Umathum Post 412 in Woodstock will host the 11th American Legion District in­ stallation of officers on Saturday, Oct. 9, which is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. Alvin E. "Andy" Anderson, a past commander of the Woodstock post and a former commander of the McHenry County Council, will be in­ stalled as commander of the 11th District. This is a first in the history of the post that a Woodstock man has been elected to head the district. Eugene P. Miller, the 2nd Division's commander who hails from Glen Ellyn, will be the installing officer. L Ralph C. Scott of Carlyle, the Department of Illinois Sr. Vice Commander, will be the master of ceremonies. Following the installation refreshments will be served. Commander-elect Anderson extends an invitation to all organizations as well as the general public to attend the ceremonies and participate in the celebrating to follow. eliminated. But while we all give occasional lip-service to the importance of fire prevention, our deeds too often fail to match our words - and so the loss continues. But this pattern need not continue. If each of us will only focus his attention on the practical implications of fire prevention in his daily life, a great deal can be done to reduce the destruction caused by fires. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning October 3, 1971, as Fire Prevention Week. I call upon all citizens to participate in the fire prevention activities of their various governments, of community fire departments, and of the national Fire Protection Association. Every person should be alert to the ways in which he can eliminate fire hazards. Every citizen should learn how to report fires, how to use basic ex­ tinguishing agents and firefighting techniques, and how to react when major fires strike his place of work or his residence. The need to rethink all of these matters is especially important as new technologies change our living environments and the nature of the fire risks we encounter. I also encourage all Federal agencies, in cooperation with the Federal Fire Council, to conduct effective fire prevention programs, in­ cluding fire exit drills and other means of training employees, in order to help reduce this waste of life and resources which now plagues our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-one, and of the In­ dependence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fifth.
