FIRE' PREVENTION WEEK:
,Canada's .1958 ' dollar loss ,in fires rekindle the sense:' of horror' and anger you.
amounted to over one hundred and fifteen felt the last time you saw, heard or read
million .dollars ($115,000,000,00).
This represents only the cost in pro-
perty and at that, excludes., Forest Fire
losses. The cost in lives is 'equally high with
some five hundred and .twenty nine (529)
persons, two hundred and • seventeen" (217 )
of them children, having died in fires . dur-
ing 1958.
Lucknow has, in recent years, had a
most favorable record .'in fire losses. More
particularly .: we have been . spared the an-
guish of fire fatalities.
It may be just good fortune,, or it may
be that 'residents of •'this:, communty` are
unusually alert to .the hazards . .of fire. In
either case it, :is importantthat the .public
be ; constantly reminded. of ` these hazards
and ever alert to prevent the tragedy of
fire from striking at home. .: .
Although . it may be deeply; buried' in
the pa t, a little tug at thememory will.
about a fire, which t o yes, pa
lives of children. '
Do ' you , remember the tragic holo
caust: at .Our `Lady of . the Angels School in
Chicago last year, when almost one hund-
red chillren perished-? Many of ..them were
found still', sitting at their little desks.
•It. could have' been •your school and
your children! Last year. it happened in
Chicago where will;, it happen this year?
Fire Prevention .: Week is being • Ob-
served from •,October 4th to .10th inclusive.'
The • Board Insurance ::Companies., through
the co-operation of ; Canadian Newspapers,
radio and television stations, banks, rail-
ways,' fire departments, commerce and in-
dustry. are spreading the gospel of Fire Pre-
vention throughout the Country:_
These • messages are • directed at ,you,
the potentialvictim of fire. Listen! ` Learn!
and Remember!
