Fire Prevention Week Is Set for October 3 to 9 The week of October 3-9 has been set aside by proclamation by Governor Small as Fire Prevention Week. Fire last year destroyed resources worth $570,000,000 in the United. States, reads Governor Small"s proclamation. Illinois, he continues, contributed $28,500,000 of that amount. The start- ling fact is, he declares, that losses have been increasing each year. The toll in human lives is approximately 15,000 each year. ; Suggestions for the effective observ- ance of Fire Prevention Week are given as follows: "Systematic inspection of property by proper local officials will control fire hazards in any community. Careful in- spections should be made during this week and continued throughout the year. "School officials Should see that schools are safe from fire, that ample exits are provided and that frequent fire drills are held. "Similar precautions should be taken by those 'having "custody of churches, thea- ters, hospitals, public halls, hote)s and other buildings where fire would jeopar- flize lives. "Instructivé talks and programs should be. given in schools and before Ohambers of Commerce afd civic organizations. "Every citizen should rid his home of fire hazards: Rubbish should be cleaned up. Flueg"and heating plants should be cleaned "out and, repaired. Defective wiring or gas connections should be reme- died. H _ "The same suggestions apply to fac- tories and places of business. In addition, fire. extinguishers and other fire protec- tion "eguipment should be examined and put in good condition "All should cultivate habits of careful- ness in all things where danger of fire is involved. "Press and pulpit can help greatly in carrying out the purpose for which Fire Prevention Week is set aside. Their co-oueration is earnestly invited." Mr. and Mrs. LIL. W. Pervier, 567 Chestnut street, have returned from a five weeks' visit at their summer cot- tage located at Thomas resort, Little Cedar lake, Wis.
