A PROCLAMATION BY
THE GOV ERN OR
Saturday, October 9, Designated as
"Fire Prevention Day" in
North Carolina.

The General Assembly of nineteen
hundred and fifteen amended the
insurance laws of North Carolina,
and, among other things, enacted:
1T shall be the duty of the Insur-
ance Commissioner and Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction to provide
as far as practicable for the teach
ing of Fire Prevention in the col
leges and schools Of the State, and,
it the way be open, to arrange for
text book adapted to such use. Also
by adding to said section as section
four thousand seven hundred and
twenty-one (b) the following: The
ninth day Of October Of each and
every year shall be set aside and de-
signated as Fire Prevention Day,
and the Governor shall issue a pro-
clamation urging the people to a
proper observance of the said day,
and the Insurance Commissioner
shall bring the day and its observ-
ance to the attention of the officials
| of the municipalities Of the State,
and especially to the firemen, and,
where possible, arrange suitable
programs to be followed in it's OBJ
servance.'"
Now, Therefore, l, LOCKE CRAIG
Governor of North Carolina, in ac-
cordance with this statute, do issue
this my Proclamation, and | do set
aside and designate, Saturday, the
9th day Of October, 1915 as Fire Pre-
vention Day and do urge ali the peo-
pie to a proper observance Of this
day in obedience to the law Of North
Carolina. urge the public schools
Of the State and the municipal Off
GERS thereof to give proper and for
nal recognition Of the day ard it's
meaning, and request the citizens
lgenerally to give special attention
on that day to the condition Of their
premises, to the end that the waste
and loss of property and life by fire
may be reduced in this State.
The loss by fire amounts approx
mately to three million dollars year
in North Carolina. A large per cent
of this loss is unnecessary and can be
prevented. Human life, too, is
needlessly sacrificed.
We should remedy the conditions
that entail this enormous expense
and loss suffered, not only by those
whose property and lives are de
stroyed, but by all citizens in the
high rates of insurance caused BY
unnecessary fires. The prevention
Of the needless destruction of tht
fruits of labor and of human life i
a duty dictated by economy and hu
manity.
Done at our City Of Raleigh, thi
the sixteenth day Of September, il

nine hundred and fifteen, and in tn
one hundred and fortieth year Q
our American Independence.

A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted. rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best nvs acres of cotton you

This news is decidedly cheering to

big hat can be unearthed, retrimmel

Rose color in millinery will also be

will study their individual points and
characteristics and will adapt the

glad that this will be the case, for a
