State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR
A # rur lantafiult
In accordance with the General Statutes, I designate
Monday, October 11th next, as
3fire #reuerttium ſlau
It is apparent that the increasing loss by fire of
lives and property can only be characterized as
shameful waste, inasmuch as the great majority are
attributable to carelessness and are preventable by
proper care.
The correction lies in sober thought and sound
education and intelligent action. I therefore earn-
estly recommend that all citizens, and particularly
school authorities, give attention on that day to the
study and teaching of fire prevention. I suggest
also that if this sort of education is to be effective,
the ordinary virtues of care and common sense be
emphasized in this connection, not merely as objects
of annual veneration, but as every day economic
necessities.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this twenty-eighth
Sº day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six and
' of the independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-first.
By His Excellency’s Command:
Secretary.
