Harris has de. clared for a safe and sane Fourth of July by issuing a proclamation forbidding the sale of the deadly cracker or other explosions before July 3rd and their use only on July 4th, and then with every precau- tion possible against the danger of fire or accidents. Now if the bur. gess will see to it that his promul- gation is enforced it should reduce to a minimum the hazards to chil. dren and property and also the an. noyance of the promiscuous use of explosives during the days preceding the Fourth of July, nineteen hun. as follows: PROCLAMATION “Safety First” should be kept in mind when attempting to celebrate the Fourth of July, nineteen hun. dred and thirty, A “Safe and Sane” observance is respectfully re- quested. No fire works or display of any description will be tolerated within the limits of the borough of Bellefonte except on Friday, July 4th, and then only in the most care. ful and moderate way. Confine this business to one day only. “Safety First.” Numerous fires of a very expensive character have been started by the reckless use of fire works; many accidents have happened; annually we hear of men, women and children being maimed for life; many deaths occur from the use of these explosives. Merchants: If you have a supply of these seemingly innocent crack. ers and other devices for use only on July Fourth, you are now re. spectfully requested not to sell them until July 3rd, 1930, and then only by cautioning the purchasers that the use of them is strictly pro- hibited until July Fourth, wand on that day only. Parents: Be on guard every mo. ment of the day, and see to it as far as possible that no damage is done to property; also caution those In your household to be careful, very careful, so that no accident will occur or a life be endangered.
