---- "% October 1, 1927 WINNETKA TALK ISSUE PROCLAMATION ON FIRE PREVENTION North Shore Communities to Have Special Programs Dur- ing Week of Oct. 9-15 Under the proclamation of Governor Len Small all cities and towns in the state of Illinois are asked to observe the period of October 9 to 15 as Fire Prevention Week with the holding of appropriate programs impressing upon the residents of the communities that losses by fire are generally prevent- able. Villages in New Trier are pre- paring special programs for the occa- sion. The proclamation calls attention to the fact that a clean, well kept house seldom burns, and that every citizen owes it to himself and loved ones to see that rubbish is cleared up, that furnaces and flues are cleaned out and put in good shape and that every pre- caution be taken to relieve fire haz- ards. The Proclamation The proclamation reads: "Property worth $560,548,624 was wiped out by fire last United States. Fifteen thousand lives were sacrificed. Illinois suffered $24,- 968,006 of the loss. "This vast waste is wholly unneces- sary. Carelessness is responsible for at least three-fourths of it. If every individual would exercise ordinary care, the fire loss would be very small. "Illinois, which has been a leader in so many movements can also be a leader in the great campaign to reduce fire waste, if public officials and citi- zens will co-operate. "Now, therefore, I, Len Small, gov- ernor of Illinois, do hereby appoint and proclaim the week from October 9 to October 15, 1927, to be observed year in the in the State of Illinois as Fire Pre- vention Week.

Word to Business Folk "Every business man and manufac- turer should see that his place is kept scrupulously free {from unnecessary fire hazards, that inflammable products are properly stored and that hazardous processes are kept under strict control. "School officials are responsible for the safety of the children and it is their duty to provide fire-safe build- ings, ample exits and to have regular fire drills. "A similar responsibility rests upon those having theaters, hospitals, churches, public halls and other places fire would endanger lives. "Public officials should enforce strict fire regulations by proper ordinances and systematic inspections. Ask General Co-operation "Mayors, fire chiefs, chambers of and duty charge of hotels, where that | | er i x commerce and Civic organizations should co-operate to see that a prac- tical observation of Fire Prevention | Week is had in every community.
