tion to the vast destruction of
property, 10,000 people lose their
lives in fires annually and an
equal number or permanently dis-
have, visits you | figured or mained.
Insurance, of course, provides
a financial safeguard Avhich en-
ables many to rebuild property
and offset some of the damage
caused by fire. But. the material
destroyed represents a definite
portion of the country’s natural
Avealth, permanently lost for all
useful purposes. The continued
loss of the nation’s Avealth on
such an enormous scale as that
represented by the annual fire
Avaste in recent years, means en-
dangered industries and a land
lacking natural resources, in
Avhich the attainment, of a maxi-
mum prosperity is unlikely. The
great loss in 1931, averaging
$37,668,085 each month, Avas se-
verely felt in a year of depres-
sion.
The public should recognize
that it is everyone’s responsibility
to aid in reducing losses during
the coming year, and thereby aid
the unemployment situation, con-
serve the nation’s Avealth through
lowered fire Avaste and help pre-
sent deaths from fire. There
must be an active interest and a
genuine, desire to reduce fire
losses. Everyone must do his
share.
