GOVERNOR PR0CLAIMS n. J.
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

TRENTON. Sept. 22.-The first
week in October is made Fire Pre-
vention Week" by proclamation of
Governor Edwards today. During
that week, the governor asks for
both educational work in the interest
OF fire prevention, and actual re-
moval of rubbish and the reduction
of the fire hazard where possible.
Careless America" declares the
governor in his proclamation, las
within recent years eclipsed all is
previous records of property destruc-
ton by fire and is now reducing
material wealth to cinders at the
rate of S1,370,000 a day in addition
to destroying forty-eight lives daily.
In our WI state. during the five
years ended with 1920, the fire waste
came to the total of 500, ,0IS. 1t
Is therefore clear that New jersey
has been paying her share of the
tax resulting from carelessness aad
ignorance in handling fire hazards"
