FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
The woclc of October 9-15 has boon
proclaimed Fire Prevention 7ook by
proclamation of the President of the •
United States. This prod-notion

Anericons are destroyed by fire end
countless others suffer disability
from the same cause. Fire de. troys
our natural resources end forests,
ferns and schools, churches and hos
pitals, hon^s and factories.
Loss by fire in desks is perhaps
higher than in nost oth..r sections
of the nation. die loss occurs
usually durin; the extreme', .ly co3d
