This Is a large increase over the 1911 total. Much of this loss might be prevented, a great part of it being due to carelessness, personal and public. The schools of Indiana, municipal authorities, commercial bodies, and property owners desire fewer fires and lower Insurance rates. ‘‘The public in general is Interested, as the conservation of life and health demands a decreased hazard. Now, therefore, I, Thomas R. Marshall, governor of Indiana, do hereby proclaim October 9, 1912, as Fire Prevention day in ths state of Indiana and do call upon all citizens on that day to give personal attention to remove rubbish and debris from their premises, to setting their heating appliances in safe and proper condition for winter use, to examine chimneys and flues, that breakage and cracks may be properly repaired. ”1 also suggest and recommend that on this day instruction be given to the children of public schools with reference to the fire hazard of matches, ■gasoline and volatile oils, and that simple methods of fire protection and rescue work be taught. “I call upon the commercial bodies and the municipal authorities of the state to aid in disseminating knowledge relative to methods of prevention against fire and to urge a clean-up movement in their respective communities.” Students Are Suspended.
