爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Finally, the civic spirit in Cleveland, Ohio, forced the passage of a city ordinance prohibiting the sale or use of fireworks on the Fourth. The following year when Cleveland reported no casualties as compared to an ugly list for the previous. Fourth, a distinct impression was made upon other cities. Gradually, other municipalities took action, and year by year the list of Fourth of July casualties grew perceptibly shorter. New York City was now induced to join the list of prohibitive cities, by a personal appeal made to its mayor by Bok, and on the succeeding Fourth of July the city authorities, on behalf of the people of New York City, conferred a gold medal upon Edward Bok for his services in connection with the birth of the new Fourth in that city.

白话
最终,俄亥俄州克利夫兰的公民精神迫使通过了一项城市法令,禁止在独立日销售或使用烟花。第二年,克利夫兰报告没有伤亡,而前一年独立日伤亡名单却很难看,这给其他城市留下了深刻印象。渐渐地,其他城市也采取了行动,年复一年,独立日伤亡名单明显缩短。纽约市现在也被说服加入禁止燃放烟花的城市名单,这是博克亲自向市长呼吁的结果。在接下来的独立日,市政府代表纽约人民授予爱德华·博克一枚金质奖章,以表彰他在该市新独立日诞生中所做的贡献。这说明地方行动可以产生示范效应,推动更广范围的改变。
