when all similar establishments were
so-called. Yet his place is mueh more
than ordinary: the visitor is at once
impressed with the good taste dis
played in the place. In the line of
Pet thintrs you will find there a com

so happy is the environment. We
believe, however, that Mrs. Leonard

sults attained by the efforts of its
firemen, teachers, editors and other
public-spirited and forward-looking
citizens who have carried on for
years a relentless- warfare - against

our ' .State ' Insurance Department
covering : the seven - years between
January 1, 1922, and January 1,
1929, show a total fire loss of $44,

the loss was well below the national
average and the fire loss for the year

proud of the progress made, the fire
loss of 1928 was much too sreat for
an enlightened citizenship, such as
ours, ana i appeal to all good citi

lessening this economic waste.
. But toe property loss - in North

not our greatest loss from fire. The
Bureau of Vital Statistics ' of ' our

two hundred and ' seventy-one lives
were lost bv fire in North Carolina

were caused bv carelessness and hr-

with Section 6080 of the Consolida
ted Statutes, which provides that
the Governor of North Carolina
shall, each year, in October, issue a

every safeguard asrainst fire is nro-
vided, and also that exit facilities
are sufficient in case of fire.
That local authorities . examine
their fire ordinances and make them
sufficient if they are lacking in any
particular.
To this end I urge our citizens to
cooperate with our Insurance Com
missioner, and that every mayor is
sue a proclamation. I earnestly re
quest the cooperation of every citi
zen, Chambers of Commerce, Rotary
