Ravages of Fire
Think of it! The loss of lives by fires in North Carolina
since January 1, 1919, has averaged about two a day, and if this ration is kept
up will total during the present year 600 to 700, practically two a day. Who
will fail to join in redoubled effort against fires and their losses in lives
and property?
Bear in mind that North Carolina is still, in spite of the
fact that much progress has been made in fire prevention, losing $4 million
each year--$11,000 each day—in property that should be conserved. And that at
least three-fourths of this loss is due to ignorance and carelessness;
principally carelessness, that must be stopped if we are to meet the problems
and difficulties of the reconstruction period.
