OFFICIALS
PLEAD FOR
SANE '4TH'
Governor Issues Proclamation
Asking That the Use Of Fire
works and Other Explo-
sives Be Under Ban.

State officials have Joined in the
plea for safe and sane Fourth of
July in Oklahoma and ask that Okla
homans demonstrate their loyalty
and patriotism through other chan
nels than explosives. The office of
the state fire marshal Is sending out
a proclamation by Governor j. B. A.
Robertson, that covers the entire sit
uation.
In this proclamation the governor
says
There win be a worthy inclination
on the part of the American people
to celebrate the approaching Fourth
of July with extraordinary earnest
ness and enthusiasm The glorious
achievements of our country in the
war for universal liberty, the supreme
vaIor of our soldiers on the BATH,
fields of France, the dawning of d
new day crowned with the glory Of
peace, the desire to honor our return
ed heroes, all these thoughts will in
spire us with profound feelings of
patriotism.
1T is we'll that we rejoice, let joy
be unconfined, let us make 1t a great
day in the life of our state, but let us
remember the shadows of injury and
death that have so often enshrouded
these celebrations in the past
Let us have a safe celebration
this year, free from sorrowful hap
penings. There is no necessary col.
nectlon between patriotism and the
use of fireworks and explosives. Ex-
perience has shown. them to be high
ly dangerous to both life and prop
erty. 1t is not necessary to dwell
on the story of death and disaster
that follows their use The thought
Of MANNED and disfigured children is
enough to turn us against them. 9th
er methods of celebrating are more
effective and inspiring. Well planned
pageants. parades. flag drills, exer-
cises in parks, and patriotic orations
teach more impressive lessons i'm pa
triotism.
Let me earnestly urge public Off
cials all over the state to prohibit
the sale or use of these instruments
of danger and ruin.
Let me ask the adults of the state
to accept and exercise a physical
guardianship over the children on
that day, to the end that it may be
enc of merriment and rejoicing. un-
clouded by injury to any of our chill
dren.
Finally, let me admonish all our
people to exercise the greatest care
to avoid accidents amid the tumult
and excitement of the hour
IN witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state of
Oklahoma, this 18th day of June.
