State Fire Commissioner W. S. Uidgell, in a bulletin issued recently,
ores that the indiscriminate sale of fireworks should be prohibited by law.
He urges city councils to prohibit the sale and distribution of them by ord
inance. Mr. Itidgell gives the following warning in the bulletin:
"Every Fourth of July disastrous fires occur on account of carelessly
handled or stored fireworks. All fireworks are highly combustible. They
are dangerous to life as well ac property. Children should not be allowed
to handle the highly explosive kind; In fact, children should not be allowed
to handle fireworks at all. The fact that they must use matches and fire
to set them oft is sufficient reason to keep fireworks away from them. The
.mount of property destroyed by 'children and matches' each year is enor
mous. "All dealers selling fireworks must keep same nnder a glass cover and
no broken packages should be left uncovered around a store. We would
request all mayors, fire chiefs and Bpecial deputies in all towns throughout
the state to see that this order Ib enforced. All fireworks when taken from
original packages must be placed under a glass cover such as showcases,
etc. When the original package is broken it should be taken outside the
store at once and placed under a showcase on a stand or table and the fire
works sold from this stand outside the store on the sidewalk or some other
convenient place. In case of fire the flames could be more easily extin
guished and the fire confined to the showcase. Don't sell any fireworks
fiom counters inside of stores.
"The sensible and safe way of celebrating the Fourth of July would
be by patriotic speeches, music and parades and fireworks are not neces
sary for even the most enthusiastic patriotic celebrations. If citizens feel,
however, that fireworks must be a part of a patriotic demonstration the
iiiife way to display them would be for the city to buy a quantity and then
hire some experienced person to arrange the display in a public park where
citliens can view them without endangering life or property as they do
when each citizen takes it upon himself to buy his own fireworks and Icti
acu member of his fumlly participate in setting them off.
"It Is our intention to prohibit the indiscriminate sale of fireworks
next year, except for exhibition purposes, and the cities and towns in the
state will govern themselves accordingly.
"We would advise the city councils in the different cities to pass ord
inances prohibiting the use of fireworks in their respective towns. This is
the only effective way to abolish the extravagant unnecessary , needless prac
tice. "In ten years 1,739 people -ere killed. 38,069 wounded, maktim a to
fal of 39,808 accidents due entirely to the use of fireworks. Think of if.
In ten years a total of 39,808 people the equivalent of nearly forty regi
ments were killed or injured in Fourth of July celebrations.
"It would surely seem these statistics alone would be sufficient to

When troubled that way, I have suf

my back that seemed to be pulling
me down. At night I couldn't rest
because of the aching and my kid
