for it as a fire alarm. If it failed to
make noise enough to wake-up our
sleeping tiremen, it was an absolute
failure. If it walked you up and you
are one of the knockers, because it
proved to be "a noisy old thing" you
can even things up bit by attending
the Firemen's Carnival the week of
August 29th to September 5th, and
blowing yourself till you are bust
