The local fire department issues
the following bulletin which the
= Democrat heartily commends:
"Under the mayors proclamation,
each and every citizen of Liberal is
made voluntary member of the fire
department during the week Of April
10 to "a inclusive, and if they do
their duty the result of their labor
will go far toward safeguarding
property from fire, and safeguarding
the health of the citizens of Liberal,
more so than the work of the regular
fire department thruout the entire
year.
"If all trash and litter accumu-
lated thruout the winter is properly
cleaned up, hauled away or burned,
and proper precaution taken against
accidental fires by all citizens for the
period designated by the mayors
proclamation, it will materially de-
crease the loss sustained by fire thru
out the ensuing year.
owe earnestly solicit the assist
ance and cooperation of every citi-
zen of Liberal in making this Clean
Up Week success, and reducing to
minimum the number of fires to oc-
cur in the future.
eff you have a place in your busi-
ness, or know of place in anyone
else's place of business in which there
is danger of fire being caused because
of improper wiring, imperfect flues,
or for any other reason, it is your
duty to promptly and safely remedy
the same, or repot it to the fire chief
of the city of Liberal.
"This is your town, you live in it,
and it is what you make of it."
