WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1919 PREVENT FIRES ON JULY 4, SAYS ILLINOIS MARSHAL In response to numerous inquiries as to the attitude of the division of fire prevention concerning the use of fireworks this year, State Fire Marshal John G. Gamber has author- ized an interview, urging community celebrations of the Fourth of July throughout the state. The interview is as follows: 3 "Independence Day, 1919, probably will be elebrated with more patriotic before in the his- In most communities there is a great opportunity fer marketing eggs and poultry by parcel post.

"To many the temptation to go to| extremes will be great this year. The] stimulus to celebrate 'was nz2ver| greater. The need of restraint .s| therefore correspondingly great. The | lesson of restraint was well learned | during the war; let everyone con-| tinue to apply it in time of peace. "In scores of localities throughout the state, plans are already being] made for great community observ-| ances, with rousing hgmecoming celebrations for the returhed fight-| ing men as the big rei. Thesza| events will be marked bj | 1 concerts, addresses by noted speakers, programs of great varxiety | and community displays of firewonks. | "I can not too strongly express my | indorsement of such observances: and I urge them upon city officials, cham- bers of commerce and such other or- ganizations as are accustomed to take the initiative in these matters in their respective communties. Cer- tainly no time is more opportune for a community Fourth of July celebra- tion than this, when every city, vil- teat fighting heroes. "City and village officials are em- powered by statute, to 'regulate, re- strain and prohibit the use of fire- works, firecrackers, torpedoes, Roman candles, skyrockets and other pyro- technic displays.' 1 call upon such officials to exercise these broad powers to bring about such regula- tion and restraint as is necessary in their respective communities in the an:erest of public safety. "It is a misdemeanor in Illinois, punishable by a fine of $25, for any- one to trade, sell or give away any toy pistol so made or constructed that it can be used to shoot blank cartridges. The toy pistol and blank cartridge are the most profilic cause of tetanus, or lockjaw. If any per- son has knowledge of the violation of this act it is his duty to report this knowledge promptly to the police or stat2's attorney. tf appeal to every resident of Illi- nots, individually, to exercise the ut- most carefulness in the use of fire- works.
