GOV. PROC[A|MS.
 OCT. 1O AS FIRE.
 PREvEN NT|ON DAY.

In the following proclamation Gov ernor Thomas E. Campbell sets aside October 10 as Fire Prevention Day.
 That America cannot afford to dal-
 ly with the fire fiend or to relax her vigilance, becomes increasingly ap- parent as the long list of ruinous con
 flagrations, frequently attended by loss of life. continues seemingly un-
 checked.
 Despite the fact that we are con-
 stantly being urged to exercise pre-
 cautions for the prevention of fires and the costly experiences which we continue to undergo, a great deal still remains to be accomplished before we
 shall have attained the goal desired,
 namely that of doing away with all
 preventable fires When we reflect
 upon the fact that approximately 15,
 900 persons, most of them women and
 children, are burned to death in the United States each year, a much lar ger number are seriously injured. and property amounting to billions of dol lars destroyed, it brings forcibly to mind the necessity for constant and never Tagging effort to hold in check this monster of destruction.
 Obviously every day should be ob- served as Fire Prevention Day, but in order that a special effort may De made to impress upon the public mind the urgent necessity of observing all proper precautions to safeguard us from fire, it has been requested by the President that the 10th day of October be set apart for this purpose. 1 It has been aptly suggested that there l be told in each of our schools on the day named, the F'iftieth Anniversary of the disastrous Chicago fire, the 1 story of that destructive conflagration brought about through mans care | lessness.
 Now, therefore, I, Thomas F. Camp | bell, Governor of the State of Arizona, | do hereby designate Monday. October 10, 1921, as Fire Prevention Day, and | urge every citizen to take an active | part in all measures looking toward | the prevention of fires. It is request ed that the day be observed by clear ing up and abating any accumulations | of inflamable material and abolish ling a fire hazards wherever same may l be found Let the day become one oi l rigid investigation of all premises with view to preventing the incep- ton of conflagratons. In this worthy moment our churches can be of greai assistance in spreading the doctrine i of carefulness from the pulpit and through the Sunday School. The pro
 motion in our schools of systematic instruction in fire prevention should
 be given special attenton on this day in order that there may come abou at frequent intervals recurrence O public realization to the ever -presen peril of fire and the means whereb, 1 this calamitous destruction of life ant property may be averted.
 In Witness Whereof, have here
 unto set my hand and caused tn, l Great Seal of the State to be affixed l Done at Phoenix, the Capital, thil 30th day of September, 1921.
