A PROCLAMATION

Any loss of human life, any Interfer ence with production, any loss of critical materials hinders and impedes our war effort.
Uncontrolled fire, even in normal times, is a national menace. It killsor disables thousands of our people and destroys a significant portion of our national wealth each year. Today, when every machine is being taxed to its fullest productive capacity, when new hands are working with unfamiliar tools, and when agents of our enemies are seeking to hinder us by every possible means, it is essential that destructive fire be brought under stricter control in order that victory may be achieved at the earliest date.
Nothing less than the united vigilance and effort of all the people will suffice to break the grip of this menace. Fire hazards everywhere must be detected at once and eliminated. Loss of life and property from blaze and smoke must be reduced in every State of the Union.
Prevention of all uncontrolled fires must be our goal.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D.
ROOSEVELT, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning October 4, 1942, as Fire Prevention Week; and I earnestly request the people of the country to give special heed to the importance of taking active measures during that week, and throughout the year, to conserve our hu man and material resources from the destructive toll of fire; and I direct the Office of Civilian Defense and other ap propriate Federal agencies to initiate programs for emphasizing the impor tance of attaining these objectives. I
also desire to enlist the cooperation of State and local governments, of educa tors and civic groups, and of the press,
the radio, and the motion-picture indus try, with a view to promoting widespread realization of the dangers of fire and knowledge of the methods of con trolling it.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this 5th day of August in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seal forty-two, and of the Independ ence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixtyseventh.
F ranklin D R oosevelt By the President;
C ordell H ull ,
