FIREWORKS AND
FOURTH OF JULY

G.. Walden Smith Of Portland, State
insurance commissioner, has sent d
communication to the municipal Off
GERS of all cities and towns of Maine
earnestly asking their coo operation to
the fullest in its cndeavor to dis
courage the sale or use of fireworks
of any character on the Fourth of
July and other holidays during the
continuance of the war.
AT no period in the history Of our
country has the conservation of life
and property been of greater impor-
tancc than at this time" says Com
missioner Smith in his communica-
ton.
1T should be regarded as more pa
triotic not to explode fireworks than
to do so. Every ounce of powder is
needed by the government and every
injured individual, loss of life and
burning of property that usually fol-
lows in the wake of tho use of fire
works, should be considered as an
essential important duty to prevent.
The possibility of alien enemies or
irresponsibles in our midst exploding
devices death dealing to life and prop
erty destruction under the guiSe of
fireworks" must be considered at
this critical time and no opportunity
offered for such acts. From all sec
tions of the State has come com
mendation to this department in its
effort to thus avoid what has proven
in the past serious consequences of
the use of fireworks,
The department calls upon all pa
triotic men. women. boys and girls
of the Commonwealth of Maine TO
assist in making this request effective,
and to give the matter all possible
