There is good reason for Farm

objection to its length Of ringing.

"Many Of our firemen live a

Gated and if the alarm is not re-
peated MANY times they miss it,
Chief Gay explained.
I'VE ask our people to be patient
and understanding. Perhaps the
best attitude toward this necessary
wailing is to imagine YOUR house on
fire and only half the necessary
firemen reporting to fight il J..
because they d d mt hear the
alarm" he said.
Firemen recently voted to keep
the siren geared to its present y
rings. I've consider il necessary
