"Disastrous fires destroy each year property of many kinds to a total greater than the whole value of all property in the nation in the days of our forefathers. This loss seriously offsets our normal gain in the national assets. "It is the simple obligation of every citizen to realize, knowing this, ' that a large proportion of these fires can be prevented by the exercise of i proper care and by the use of appro- i pi"fate fire prevention measures. "I call special attention to the unfortunate fact that a very large percentage of fires in every part-of tho nation ia caused by acts of individual carelessness and that millions of dollars worth of property could be preserved each year by the realization on the part of the individual of his or her responsibility to the com/X / \ I I munity. I "Now, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the United States of America, do hereby pro- | claim and designate ther week be- I ginning October 7, 1934, as Fire Pre- I vention Week, and I particularly j urge state and municipal officials, j civic and commercial organizations, j school authorities, the clergy and the press to emphasize the danger of and j needless waste caused by fire and en- j courage the study of ways and means whereby fire hazards and ^disastrous consequences of fire may be prevent- I ed as far as possible."
