Governor Urges Precaution on Fourth of July In view of the unusnal fire hazards which now exist due to the prolonged drought and because ot the imperative necessity ot conserving war materia ls, I most earnestly appeal to the people ot Oregon to retrain as far as possible from the use ot firecrackers and other forms ot fireworks on the Fourth ot July this year, and admonish all to exercise extreme caution and bear in mind the severe penalty of the law for negligence In this .connection. At a time of heart darkness when so many heavy sacrifices are being made for liberty and justice it Bhould hardly be necessary to recommend a safe, sane and serious anniversary observance of the Declaration of Independence. This is not quite the hour for noise and bluster as the Mayors of Oregon cities and towns have severally proclaimed in response to a warning recently, issued by the State Fire Marshal. With all structures, woods and fields extremely sensitive to conflag ration there is Just now an emergency need for conservatism and care which no patriotic person Can overlook.
