FIRE AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION DAY. 



To eliminate common fire and accident hazards from the 

 United States and Canada the National Fire Protection Asso- 

 ciation and the National Safety Council are urging the nation- 

 wide observance of Fire and Accident Prevention Day on 

 October 9, the anniversary of the great Chicago lire. An at- 

 tractive poster has been designed, and suggested programs for 

 observance of the day worked out, which are being distributed 

 to the civic and commercial organizations of the country. The 

 national and Dominion associations of fire chiefs, fire marshals 

 and credit men are cooperating. While sporadic observances 

 of fire prevention day have heretofore been held in certain states 

 and cities, thi.s is the first organized attempt to promote its 

 general observance throughout this nation and the Dominion.
