FIRE PREVENTION Suggestions Sent Out by State Fire Marshal’s Office As Precautions DURING THE HOLIDAYS When Considerable Inflamable Material is Used in Various Decorations. With the approach of Christman, I am Inclined to call your attention to America's greatest fault —Carlessness. There is no need for a lessening of the holiday spirit, but haw many times have these days of pleasure and enjoyment been suddenly changed to one of sadness and grief. How? Carlessness. In the decoeation of our homes the display of goods tn our stores and the arrangement of our Christmas trees; let us all join in being more careful and thus secure a full measure of joy and happiness to ourselves and families.

The merchant in his eagerness to display his goods, the mother in the decoration of her home and the Christmas tree oft’ times forgets to be careful. There is no mystery about preventing a fire, neither is there any spectacular advice to be given, but if each person will join in being careful many lives will be saved and much property preserved during the coming holiday week. It is my business to call your attention to this important matter and it is your business to aid in protecting your property and saving your life — this can be done without detracting in the least from the pleasure and enjoyment of the occasion. Last year, you. the reader of this article, paid your proportionate part of the fire loss of Indiana; you did this whether you had a fire or carried fire insurance or not. The whole loss is added to the overhead and whatever you buy, a portion of this loss is added to what is commonly called the load. In 1920 the fire loss of Indiana exceeded the entire payment of state taxes by $368,160.00. The fire loss of the United States, during the same period of time, was a sum in excess of $500,000,000.00, which is a greater sum paid out by you and the rest of us than was expanded for the maintenance of all the schools of the nation. I do not mean to leave the impression that all this loss came at Christmas time, but some of it did, and will happen again, if each of us do not strive to be a little more cautious and careful, and for that reason I issue this statement at this time. Very truly yours, NEWMAN T. MILLER, State Fire Marshal
