Fire Prevention Procla-
nation By Governor
Pleasant


tention be given to the situation re
garding the waste of energy and re
sources throughout the State and Ma
ton by fire. There is a great ur
gency that efficiency be maintained
such efficiency as will not only ex
tend and develop our production bu
will also conserve our resources by
eliminating all waste. There is spe
cial need, emphasized at this time
that remedial action be taken with
respect to fires, as it takes the value
of a years cotton crop of the Uni.
ted States to recompense the yearly
fire loss.
The loss by fire is an absolute
waste and drain upon our resources
and the fact that it is largely proven
table is reproach upon our people,
for there is no mystery about fires;
the causes have been studied and the
means of prevention can be readily
learned and applied.
President Wilson says that pre-
ventable fire is more than a private
misfortune; it is public dereliction.
He states further that at time like
this emergency and Of manifest
necessity for the conservation of ma
tional resources, it is more than ever
a matter Of deep and pressing con-
sequence that every means should
be taken to prevent this evil.
THEREFORE, in accordance with
the custom already established, and
in order to arouse our people to
full realization Of fire dangers, and
to induce them to take an active in
terest in the subject, I, R. G. Pleas
ant, Governor of the State of Louis
lana, do hereby proclaim
