State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR
rur lantafin it
|EAR after year we witness the tremendous and
| appalling loss of home, loss of employment and
loss of life due to the ravages of fire. Yet, the
|SE:#2) greater part of all fire waste could be avoided if
reasonable care were exercised.
To give a specific opportunity for the consideration of this
menacing problem and in accordance with the General
Statutes, I designate Tuesday, October 9th next, as
fire Irrurutiun ſlau
and I earnestly urge that all citizens and particularly all
school authorities give attention on that day to the study
and teaching of fire prevention. Civic organizations,
chambers of commerce, as well as business associations and
all other bodies interested in public welfare and in combat-
ing this dreadful drain on our National resources, can
assist materially in furthering this important observance.
I therefore hope that all agencies capable of influencing
the people of our Nation—including churches and news-
papers—will co-operate to emphasize the seriousness of fire
loss and the need of practicing ordinary care.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this twenty-second day
of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight and of the
independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-third.

Secretary.
