Young has Issue* a letter vhlch will go tb every pereoi interested In the stats within the nex tev dare. The campaign, which is i part of the conservation movumen in coaneetion with the aation'e par tlclpatioa in the world war, has beei attfu up by the 'National Board o Fire Underwriters, and la being pust)e< br Insurance commissioners and fin marshals all over America. The ram palgn has the support of Preslden Wilson, who has issued a etatemem which contains the following para *raph: "Preventable Ore is more than a pri vate misfortune. It is public derelic tlon. At a time, like this, of emer gency and of manifest necessity foi the conservation of national reaourcei M la more than ever a matter of dee[ and pressing consequence that even means should be taken to prevent thli evil." In Commissioner Young's appeal tc officials he points out the fact that more than $100,000 worth of bread stuffs were destroyed in f?orth Caro lina last year In preventable Ores. In addition approximately a like amount was Involved In mchlnery and equipment In plants for the making and handling of breadstuffs. "In this time of emergency," the statement says, "loss of foodstuffs Is Hotal loss. Insurance money collected does not replace the actual foodstuffs. Our people cannot eat money. While our soldiers are preparing to fight the enemy, ?nd our allies are holding out their hands for food for themselves and their dependent loved ones. It Is treason for our people to allow one thing that goes Into the maklng'of food to be wasted." The aid and support of ?very city and county official and every clrlc or ganization In the state la urged In thla emergency Are prevention campaign. The commissioner again calls atten tion to the fact that an expert Are engineer In the service of the de partment ia available at all times for the training of Are departments for cities and towns and to give instruc tion In fire fighting and fire prevention means.
