Tenny Executive Director SINCE the submission to President Elpidio Quirino of the Philippine Safety Council’s resolu tion suggesting the creation of a National Con ference on Fire Prevention, the following has taken place: 1. Written acknowledgement has been received from the Assistant Secretary at Malacanan and from the Secretary of the Interior. 2. Verbal acknowledgement and encouragement lias been received from the Executive Secretary at Malacanan. 3. The President has been reported as being em phatically in favor of the idea. 4. The Secretary of the Interior has been con tacted and has indicated his support and cooperation. 5. A conference has been held between the Un der Secretary of the Interior and the Executive Direc tor of the Philippine Safety Council regarding details of the proposed body and its duties. Subsequently, a detailed recommendatory plan was submitted to the Interior Department on June 28. 6. The Advisory Safety Council to the Secretary of Labor is also most interested in the plan and is now preparing its own Fire Prevention Code for In dustrial Establishments for submission to the Con ference, when formed. According to the resolution the duties of the Con ference would be “to formulate and implement plans for the prevention of fires in the Philippines.” All subordinate ideas would stem from this main purpose. As suggested by the Executive Director of the Safety Council in his recommendatory plan, the Con ference would consist of five groups, each with its own sub-chairman, and each composed of four mem bers. These twenty Conference members would be presided over by the Conference Chairman, the Sec retary of the Interior. The five groups are: (1) Government, (2) Pro fessional, (3) Safety, (4) Civic, (5) Insurance. The government group includes representatives from the Department of the Interior, Department of Public Works and Communications, Department of Educa tion, and Department of Commerce and Industry. The professional group includes selected fire chiefs and fire-fighting experts headed by the Chief of the Manila Fire Department. The safety group includes safety experts of the Safety Council, the Department of Labor, the Philippine National Red Cross, and fire fighting equipment distributors. Group Four (Civic) includes the presidents of the various chambers of commerce and the National Federation of Women’s Clubs. The final group is composed of both foreign and domestic casualty insurance experts. It was finally recommended that the Conference be created by executive order of the President and called to meet at once. The several groups and mem bers can then present their initial ideas and sugges tions to the entire body for discussion.
