PROCLAMATION
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Get Ready for the Indoor Months

Get Ready ter the incoor MONTHS
The cleanest city is the safest city
against fire and disease. Let US
make our city as clean and orderly
as the cleanest homes. Our citizens
have the ambition and the ability TO
achieve that ideal through the CO.
operation of all.
Therefore. the week of October
to 10 is hereby designated and pro-
claimed as
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
during which a thorough campaign
to clean up and reduce fire risks is
to be carried out.
This is the time TO clean up the
yards, cut the weeds, clear out the
attics and cellars, and remove any
rubbish that has accumulated, as a
protection against fire and as q
health measure, for the coming win
ter.
(Signed) LEON O. TIBBETTo
Mayor
In accordance with the nation
VIDE movement for the reduction OF
fire losses in this country and the
designation of a week when special
attention shall be given to the re-
moval of causes of fire, Mayor Leon
O. Tel belts has issued the above
proclamation.
In lending its support and influence
to this campaign, the Chamber of
Commerce calls attention to the fact
that out of the thousands Of fires
which take place in the United States
yearly, 81 per cent are from prevent
able sources. Fire losses reach into
the millions each year in the United
States, in fact the fire losses in this
country exceed those of any country
in Europe. Statistics show that there
are 1900 fires for every "A hours in
the United States, one for less than
every minute of the day and night.
Many simple precautionary meas
ureS can be taken at this time OF
year. With the necessity for fires
comes also the necessity for lookin:
over the heating apparatus of homes
The floor and woodwork should bt
thoroughly protected from the heat
of stoves. rust holes in tunnels may
let a tiny spark escape, which may
cause a fire SCOT must be removed
from chimneys and hot ashes must
never be put in a wooden receptacle
Hot ashes cause an average fire loss
of over $4,000 a day in the United
States.
In the interest Of health a. we'll
as of fire prevention, any accumu-
lated rubbish in cellars, attics or the
garden should be cleaned up at this
time in readiness for the winter. Wa
terville citizens are especially for
tunate in having the city teams call
for and remove their rubbish if it is
placed in containers and set out to
the street for the convenience for
the men. This custom was inau-
gurated in the spring for five months,
but ii is proving SO popular and so
many more are taking advantage of
the service than when it was begun,
that il is likely that the service Will
be extended for more lengthy per-
iOd.

ROLL CALL PUT
 OVER WITH BIG
 SUCCESS,CLA|M
Quota Will Be Reached if Not Passed in Red Cross
 Drive, Indicated.

Juneau has again demonstrated it's 100 per cent Americanism by go ing over the top on the annual Red Cross Roll Call and equalling, if in fict, not exceeding it's quota said Publicity Manager John Ford Starr, when returns from today's work be- gan coming into headquarters. Up to noon today, he said. more than 500 members had been enrolled and the 1000 mark set as the quota was virtually sure of being reached be- fore the workers quit this evening
 Today winds up the local campaign for the Red Cross. The last roll call here. two years, ago, resulted i'll the enrolment of about 670 mem bers It is certain, according to those in charge of the present roll call, that this figure will be ex- ceeded
 As the workers completed the canvass of their section they reported at the rooms of the domestic science in the High School building, where
  luncheon was for the workers who engaged in the drive and was en- loved by those who had spent the earlier part of the day in strenu- ous canvass of the residents of Jul neau.
 At o'clock this morning between 50 and 60 volunteer women workers reported at the headquarters of the committee on Franklin Street. and immediately after having received their final instructions, set out on one of the most intensified cam pagns that has ever been made in Juneau Each crew of young ladies was in charge of woman who had been placed in charge of certain district. The work of those several teams has been very thorough and capably
 ''The success of this membership drive can be credited to the public spirited ladies of Juneau" said Publicity Manager Starr. "They have responded most generously of their time in helping to make the drive a success Mrs. Karl Theile and Mrs. H. c. DeVighne, who have been in charge of perfecting the or ganization of volunteer women work CTS, have spent the greater part of the past week in perfecting their A number of women have spent at least one day each week in assisting in the work and some have spent considerable more time. The work of the ladies who have assisted in this drive have been very efficient. very capably carried out and rendered with very patrio- tic spirit.
 '"The workers who so thoroughly canva ssed the city reported that one of the noticeable features of their reception was the generous spirit in which the people of Juneau had re- sponded to the call of the Red Cross"

DEFINITE PLAN
 ANNOUNCED FOR
 WORK OF MERCY
Mayor Appoints Committee to Enlist Support for
 Near East Relief.

Definite plans for local participa- tion in Near East Relief work were announced this morning by Mayor R. E. Robertson, who fixed the week beginning Monday, December II, in which residents of this community will be given an opportunity to ex- tend material aid through the Near East Relief organization to the stricken Christians of Asia Minor. The Mayors action was taken in response to the appeal of Governor Bone, issued early this week.
 Two committees were appointed by Mayor Robertson, one to handle the general work and a special com mittee to carry on the campaign among the Indians. Charles Gold stein was named chairman of the general committee. Other members appointed by the Mayor are: A. E. Gurr, SecretaryTrasurer, Rev. A. J. Roccati, Rev. C, F. Rice, Rev. w. A. Allen, Rev. G. c Bruce and Rev A. P Kashevaroff In addition to these members, the Mayor ad- dressed letter to all local fraternal organizations asking them to take an active part in the campaign and requesting the heads of the re- spective organizations to act as ex- officio members of the general com mittee The special committee is composed of W. l.. Paul and Seward KuhZ.
 The local quota set by the general co-ordinating committee, which at the request of President Harding is in general supervision of the na- tional campaign, is s1.200 which is the amount estimated necessary to provide for the support of 20 or phans for the period of one year Members of the committee, however, are confident that local contributions will exceed the quota.
 The campaign locally will be launched formally on Sunday De- cember 10th when ministers of all local churches will deliver sermons on the subject The week following will be devoted to an intensive drive.
 "The Near East Relief has been swamped by the appeals of hundreds of thousands of Christian women and ctildren. refugees from their homes through the orders of vic torious Turkish leaders" said Mayor Robertson today. It cannot meet these fresh demands with the funds 1t has at it's disposal and it has no other source of money except from the American people. To meet the emergency appeals have been made to them. The cause is supported by all churches, by every local and na- tional relief organization in the country and all of them have united in common cause to raise the money necessary to succor those in danger from hunger and privations. I am sure the people of Juneau will re. spond to this appeal with all of their accustomed generosity" said the Mayor.
 Ex-offico members of the general committee also include Mayor Rob- ertson, B. M. Behrends, Chairman of the local Red Cross chapter, and Rev. David Waggoner, representa- tive of the Near East Relief organi- zation in this district.
