Fire-Prevention Week
Set by President;
Huge Losses Cited

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today desig-
mated the week starting October 3
as Fire Prevention Week and de-
clared that destruction by fire in
this country since Pearl Harbor had
been comparable to the damage
caused by enemy bombs in England
in the first two years of the war.
II earnestly request the people of
the country" he said in state
ment, ito take unusually active
measures during that week, and
throughout the year, to conserve our
human and material resources from
destruction by fire"
Asserting that the war program
is menaced by an alarming increase
in preventable fire losses" the Chief
Executive said the losses were as real
as if wrought by enemy bombers or
saboteurs.
These preventable fires" he said,
"are being measured in thousand of
workers killed and disabled vast
destruction of critical raw materials,
food and other vital supplies for our
armed forces and civilian popula-
ton; the ruin of war plants, facto-
rles, homes and machinery-in
many cases for the duration of the
war.
Fires are bringing costly delays
in the production and transporta-
ton of airplanes, ships, tanks and
guns-delays that mean a postpone
ment of victory and the lives of
many of our men on the fighting
fronts"
