Bogardus. who is putting the finishing touches on the “I look, " said Chief Bogardus today, “for the best observance of Fire Prevention Week the city has ever had. I don't think 1' ll be disappointed. " Chief Bogardus says: "Fire Prevention Week is a week ‘of education: it is the period in which the effort is made to focus ithe attention of every man. woman land child on the dangers to life and 'property which lurk in tires. and the methods by which most fires can be prevented. nut Fire Prevention Week is more than just this. it is also a rallying point from which the people of America. completely aroused to tire consciousness. should sustain their interest through the 'ycnr in campaign aginst tire. “On October 9, 1871. Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over a lantern in a barn and thus started the Great Chicago Fire. The cew has become the symbol of the everyday caro- iessness which must be curbed if the country's disgraceful fire waste is to be restricted. The anniversary of that date is therefore set aside as Fire Prevention Week. “Does Fire Aflcct You?" "Last year over 570 million dol- lars worth of property was destroy- ed by fire in the United States. Does this fact interest you? Can you see how this less affects either your freedom or your pocketbook? it does both. You are taxed to cover this loss. The portion of it you in- di\idually pay is part of the coat of every loaf of bread. every pound of meat. every pair of shoes you buy. If you buy these things you pay the tax. You cannot avoid it. You are taxed in this way because the in- surance companies to which you pay premiums distribute yourlnoney and that of other prudent men among the careless people who have fires. 1f the carelessness of these people could be curbed. you would pay less money to the insurance companies. Your baker. your butcher and your tobacco man also pay insurance premiums and include them in the price of their goods. so that you pay their tax. too. “But more important than these financial matters is the fact that fires kil lthousands of people each year in America a. human being burned to death about every halt hour. usually a woman or child. Have you any right to tolerate con ditions which promote such whole- sale death and suaering'.’ Can you morally refuse to devote your energy to spreading the message of Fire Prevention Week? Most tires can be prevented. The physical factors which cause and spread fires are understood, and they are gradually being controlled. But no organiza- tion exists which can control the spirit of American careleuncss. That is Work upon which individu- als should concentrate. This is your problem. the solution is in your hands. it is up to you to do your part. What To Do “Interest yourself first in your own premises. Clean up existing fire hazards: instruct your family in the lesson which may some day save their lives: banish carelessness from your own home. Then get out into your community and spread the message of Fire Prevention Week. Civic organizations and you fellow citizens awaken to the spirit that will make our City fire-safe. Every individual's interest and effort counts. Fire losses are in effect a tax on every man. woman and child in the City of Norwalk. This is one case where the taxpayers. en- tirely by their own efforts. can re- duce the rate. I hope we shall have no slackers in this campaign. “As to the reason for it‘ire' Pre- vention Week, it seems to me that a yearly loss by fire at" 15,000 lives and $570,000,000 in property are reasons enough. In the United States last year’s fire loss amounted to 81.100 per minute, or 01.500000 each day and night. or $670,000,000 for the whole year. Each day of the year. on the average. 6 Schools. 5 Churches. 16 Hotels. 1 Hospital. 4 Warehouses. 96 Farm buildings, 6 Department Stores 2 Theatres. 8 Public Garages, 3 Printing plants. ' and s Dry-Goods Stores. are burn- ing. and most of this is preventable. Proper safeguards will do wonders to reduce this loss. So get behind the Fire Department. who are working tooth and nail to cut down this waste. .especislly that part of it which occurs right here in Nor- walk. where the fire destruction last year amounted to $170,637.29. On Monday October 0rd. to Octo- ber 9th, 16 members of the perma- nent force of the city fire depart~ mnt. will inspect the property in the business districts. also the schools. theatres and public buildings. for the purpose of removing hazards to life and property. “1 want to remind all house-own- ers to clean out their chimneys. Aft. er furnaces have been operated all winter. fines and chimneys are sure soot. When fur- nace fires are lit as they soon will be trouble is bound to start if the pipes and the chimney itself are not clean as a whistle. So have them cleaned stands lots of hard serv- profeeaionally. or else do , the job yourselves. Lower a rag-rapped brick attached to a rope down the chimney and take down your smoke pipes and clean them out. Here's one cause of fire that certainly can be preventsd. A good time to do it is during Fire Prevention Week. and thus help us of the Fire Department to avoid stacks of trouble. Use proper fuses in electrical cir- cuits: the fuse is the safety valve of the system and should not be tampered with.

Defective caus’ed nearly tion last year; in repair. A gas leak should be hunted with a flashlight. not with an open flame light; to the suspected part of the pipe apply soap suds which in bub- bling. will reveal the leak. Walls, ceilings and partitions should be shielded from the over- heating of stoves. furnaces and con- necting pipes. Hot ashes belong in metal contain- ers. not in wooden boxes and bar- rcls. Oil lamps or stoves are safely i‘lll- ed only by daylight. Open fires always should be screened when left untended. Williamson Is Definitely Out Of Race For House That Charles E. Williamson will not accept a re-nomination as rep- resentative from Darien. was an- nounced as final by Ernest B. Cro- foot. chairman of the Republican town committee. Saturday. Heretofore Mr. Crofoot has de- clined to comment on the rumor that Mr. Williamson would no‘. run again. and Mr. Williamson has referred all inquiries to Mr. Crofoot. it was made definitely certain Saturday. however. that Mr. Williamson would not represent Darien at Hartford next year. The Republican town committee will endorse their candidate at a meeting Tuesday night in the town hall. The meeting was to have been held last week. but was pbstponed. No names have been mentioned in connection with the committee's choice’ of a candidate for this oilice. It is not considered as likely that either C. Thurston Gilbert or Freder- ick G. Stark. both of whom have en- tered the race. are favorable to the committee. although Mr. Gilbert claims he camhold a majority of the members' votes. is obtainable at any drug chimneys and flues ”3.000.000 destruc- keep them clean and Although it has been rumored iha‘. ‘ Mr. Williamson would not run this year, the announcemert came as something of a surprise.
