Siren Soma

The city of Fairbury, Nebraska, to
comply with civilian defense regu-
lations, recently bought an AFRAID
siren, complete with directions on
how to set it up, but lacking certain
material necessary for the installa-
ton. So far this is unobtainable;
the WPB turned down the applica-
ton. 1t appears, then, that Fair
bury's siren will not give a hoot, nor,
probably, will many of its citizens;
Messrs. Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo
are far too busy to bother Fairbury.
Yet damage already has resulted
from the refusal-irreparable dam
age to the thinking processes of the
city council. Accompanying the re-
fusal was letter from the WPB-
"The construction in your applica-
ton should be deferred for the dura-
ton of the war"
The more this is read, the more
confusing it appears. When peace
comes, the siren will be too loud and
too late, say the city fathers. Mean
while its muted notes form in their
minds-what is left of them-an in
audible melody entitled Farewell to
Reason. 1t is rumored, indeed, that
a prominent professor of logic, called
in on the case as expert consultant,
turned pale, reeled, returned his fee
and ned into the night. completely
hafiied.
