Governor Names
Oct. 8 as E,e
Prevention, Day
CALLS ON PEOPLE TO CLEAN up
PREMISES AND REDUCE
FIRE RISK.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 1.-Gov. Earl
Brewer this morning issued procla
nation naming Friday, October 9, as
Fire Prevention Day. in Mississipp,
and requesting people to thoroughly
clean up their premises on that date
so that danger by fire during the win.
ter months will be minimized.
Other states in the Union will OBJ.
serve the same day, and on that date
school children will practice fire drills
and be given lectures on the necessi-
ties of carefully handling fires in their
homes.
The proclamation of Gov. Brewer in
full is as follows:
State of Mississippi,
Executive Department
Jackson, Miss.
10 the People of Mississippi:
The annual loss by fire in the United
states is approximately a quarter of
billion dollars. These figures stag
ger us. That much of labor. toll and
raw material consumed without anv
resultant benefit. To argue that this
loss Is paid by the underwriters is
OF no avail as all paid out by them is
contributed by those insured. In the
conservation of our resources. about
which so much has been said and writ
ten, no subject deserves and should
have more thought than this loss and
some method of reducing it.. The fire
loss OF some of our great cities amounts
TO more tina nit does in Germany. Aus
trla, England or France. These build
ings are constructed so as to reduce
the fire hazard to the lowest possible
point.
Our peolpe need to study the nrin.
cipies of fire proof buildings and the
observation of sanitary laws as To az.
cumulation Of combustible materia, on
the premises and in our buildings.
Many of the states observe one day
In each year set apart by the cover.
nors, as a Fire Prevention Day."
Emphasizing my approval of this. and
desiring to endorse unqualifiedly the
observance of such a day, I. Earl
Brewer, governor of the state of Mis-.
'lss.rrrr!!, srr!, do issue this, my proclamation.
setting apart Friday, October 8. 1914,
Is Fire Prevention Day." and do
most earnestly call upon our people on
hat day to inspect and thorouehIv
lean their premises of all trash and |
ombustible material; that their light |
ng systems be overhauled and gone |
ver; that their chimneys and heaters
% repaired; that theatres and places
I amusement be inspected by those
. "u'norily anu precautions taken TO
revent fires which, with proper con-
itions, produce conflagrations; that
ur schools practice the fire drill and
nat the children be taught the neces-
lty for fire prevention and the dangers
tending carelessness in handling fire.
he prevention of fire is many times
neaper than its extinguishment.
In testimony whereof | have here
n'o set my hand and caused the great
'al of Mississippi to be affixed. at |

sr, A. D. 1914.
