I ? ;; , * di Carolmi- ba rs led in elfirts t? reduce fin j waste and its attendant loss of life and property. October 4th to 10th iiehjsive has been d&signated as Fire Prevention Week throughout the United States, and I appeal tc our citizenship" who are so familiar li U with the destruction of fire to be c;me vitally interested in this great economic waste. The fire loss in the' United State** last year (1924) was tt?ore than five hundred and fifty millions of dol lars with more than 17,000 persons killed and a vastly larger number cicppled and maimed for life. North Carolina's share in this lAw was more than five million three hiundred and twenty thousand dollars with 343 lives and hundreds -of our people maimed. If is well known that carelessness and ignorance of fire hazard go hand in hand as the chief causes of our great XATIONAJL BONFIRE I. therefore, urge that the week of October -4th to 10th be set aside as Fire Pervention Week in accordance with Section 6080 of the Consolidated Statutes, which provides that the Governor of North Carolina shall, ? osch year in October, issue a pros wnaticn urging the people to a prop v i' observance; * During this week I also urge that fire driHs be held in schools, factories fnd stores,' and that they be con tinued at regular intervals; That schools, theatres, churches, public and private hospitals and In stitutions, factories, stores and hotel* Vie . inspected to see that every sa't i.uard against fire is provided, r.nd that exit facilities are sufficient in case of fire'; That local authorities examine their fire ordinances and make them suf ficient if. they arc lacking in any particular. To this ejttl Ijprge pur citizens to rtnmrnjfhly couperate with our In furance Department, and that every Mayor Issue a proclamation. I earn estly request the cooperation of every citizen, Chamber of Commerce, Ro tary Clubs, Kiwanis and Women's Clubs, and all other civic bodies and the press. As October 4th comes cn Sunday I especially appeal to the Ciergy a. id Sunday School Supcrin tindentM- ta bring this to. the atten % on of their people. Now, therefor*, I, A. W McLean, ?overnor of North Carolina, in ?c :rUance with law. do is3ue this my reclamation, and I do set aside. ;.ae csii^nHte? ictdber 4th to 10th, 192r> m Ktre reveption Week .
