White the memory nf the recent na tional holiday, July 4th, is still fresh and before its final toil of lives has been taken, the State Fire Marshal's Office desires to again urge the passage of ordinances regulating the sale and use of fireworks in such localities as have not yet octed in the matter. The beneficent results accruing to all communities which passed such regula tory measures, as evidenced by their experience at the recent celebration, call loudly on the authorities of all their unprotected sister cities and towns to act and act at once. The campaign of the "sane Fourth" so nobly carried on for years may now be said to have culminated in victory. And to the newspapers of the country must be given a large share of the cre dit therefore. While the facts as to the last celebra tion have been widely printed, yet pos- ibly another recital can do no harm. The improvement in conditions can be most vividly shown by a comparison of casualties before protective ordinances were passed and the result since they haye been in operation. For instance, 25 large cities which were without protection in 1908, showed as a result of unwise celebration of the Fourth that year, a loss of 52 dead and 1607 injured. 'How many of the injured afterwards died as a result of tetanias and other diseases directly resulting from these injuries is not given is the statistics from which these figures are taken. But the same cities, in 1912, under the operation of protective ordinances in most instances, showed only four deaths and 458 injuries, while ths fire losses were trivial. The following statement from s Co lumbus newspaper is also instructive: 'America's two largest cities furnish good examples. Chicago's last powder Fourth resulted in 15 deaths and 150 in juries; its hrst sane fourth xihed oat two and injured only 53. In New York 22 were killed and 422 injured in the last powder Fourth; while in the first sane Fourth only 3 were killed and 91 injured." These figures leave no doubt of the effectiveness of proper municipal legis-' lation upon the subject and certainly should appeal to the consciences of municipal councils which have not yet acted. This department urges upon all such that they immediately have proper ordinances passed to safeguard the lives of the children and the property of every-body which are annually jeopardized by the use of dangerous fireworks. Any councilman or city solicitor de siring s copy of a sample ordinance such as has been found effective in the larger cities of the State will be gladly sup plied with same if he will only indicate to this department that he desires it. It is the hope of the department that the next Fourth shall find every city and vilhage in Ohio properly protected in this respect. And further, that next year in every city, villiage and hamlet there may be a patriotic celebration of the day; one in which the ladies may participate without danger from the "Cannon Cracker," the nigger chaser and the torpedo, and where the Children shaH not know the crack of the toy pistol or any of the other dangerous devices with whioh our markets have been flooded in recent years. In banishing the noisy and dangerous Fourth we should feel both a moral and patriotic obligation to furnish a better observance; one which will impress upon all of us, the mature as well as the young, the real significance of the day and all that it has meant, not only to the people of the United States but to the entire race, and thus restore this natal holiday to the dignity to which it is properly entitled. John W. Zuber, State Fire Marshal. Elected Galion Teacher. Cloye Ulery of Marengo, a recent graduate of 0. W. U. at Delaware, was elected assistant principal at Galion.
