IVAN LANG Tells
KIWAN!ANS OF FIRE
PREVENTION WORK

Ivan +. Lang of WaterVille, preSi
! dent of the Maine Underwriters Assoc
citation and former president of the
Augusta Rotary Club, spoke Thursday
! night to members Of the Augusta XII
wants Club at their weekly meeting
which was held at the Girls Commune
ty Club house.
Mr.. Lang spoke on fire prevention,
this talk being in line with fire pre-
vention week which is being observed
in this state. He remarked on the
losses which forest fires have caused
and said that the actual cost To each
citizen Of our State because of fire loss
7 was 81. He then went on to speak Of
the method of fire prevention which is
in use in Westerly, r. L.. and which is
showing good results.
Westerly is town OF about 5000
| inhabitants situated in the southwest
ern part of Rhode Island six miles
from the Atlantic ocean. In 1914 it
was discovered that the loss from fire
| for the / 2 preceding years in that town
had been $4,000. The secretary Of
| the National Fire Protective Associa-
ton also spoke before the board of
trade and fire prevention committee
was created on that board.
This committee went 10 the owners
Of business places, got publicity IN the
newspapers and in other ways brought
the need Of fire prevention 10 the peo-
pie Of the town. The fire department
aided by inspecting chimneTs, connec-
lions and things of like nature.
1t was then decided that education
OF the children would help in this work
and an essay contest was started in the
public schools, the winners TO read
their ESSAYS before the board Of trade.
Text books were supplied the students
who were encouraged TO bring in clip
rings from the newspap ers and period
icals touching on fire prevention. The
i next year the plan was repeated except
that the essays were replaced ny con-
else suggestions from the students on
measures of prevention. with prizes
awarded for these. Two hundred chill
drcn we're entered In the first contest
and since that date each year has seen
the interest undated.
The results in Westerly have been
very marked in the reduction of IRE
| losses over period Of about seven
wears. which would he sufficient TO In
dictate that community properly or
gsnized can help itself by the preser-
| walton of its property from loss by
fire. The plan is by no means patent
cd and might well be used in any other
city or town in the country.
