FIRE PREVENTION DAY OBSERVED HERE
Special Exercises Were Carried Out in
 the Schools Tuesday.

l Tuesday Fire Prevention Day, spe- | cial exercises and talks were given in l the schools of Norwich, on the sub 1 ject of using caution in handliEn inf1ammable material On Monday afternoon the children of the Hobart Avenue school visited the Central fire station and were shown the workings
 of the apparatus Today the pupils of Laurel Hill school will be given a demonstration of the running of the fire fighting machines. short run will be made for the benefit of the
 pupils as they so seldom see the ap-
 paratuS in action.
 Few persons realize the importance
 of Fire Prevention Day. and for this
 reason the following figures have been
 just what can be done by the individ-
 ual in the prevention of fires: In 1916
 there was a fire every minute through
 out the United States and a loss of
 $500 900 every day. The lass during against s17o oss 200 in 1915. This year the 1917 losses bid fair to ex- ceed 25GO00.000.
 It is estimated that .eoo. 900 matches are scratched every minute in the United States and every one careless ,ly thrown away is apt to produce a
 fire and help to keep the per capita fire loss in the country to $2.s5 against eight cents in Austria in times of peace. and 53 cents in England It is up to every person to help conserve the resources of the country by the prevention of fires the moro 50 now during these times of scarcity of nearly every commodity that enters into our national life.
 In addition to the enormous loss by fire each year which must be paid by every person there Is an equal amount paid for the maintenance of the fro department. The large sum of $500 100000 is paid out each year for losses and the maintenance of fire depart- ments in the United States Ali of these facts may help to impress upon the minds of every one as well as the school children the importance of this Fire Prevention day.. If every in dividual in the country will do his 1 part in the prevention Of fire the main tenance cost and the enormous fire 1 losses can be lowered in the United | State considerably.
