It would seem to me that the ringing of the siren for fires Is only defeating a purpose. We are constantly being asked NOT TO FOLLOW THE ENGINES, yet when the siren blows that is the first thing that comes to the mind of most folks. Some go out of curiosity, others out of a desire to help if needed, and still others just because the neighbors go. Then too, if most people are inclined to have fear of fires as I have, just the sound of the siren makes for chills on days in August as well as December. I hasten to add that I am not aware of the reason for returning to the practice of siren ringing, but respectfully submit my personal opinion when saying that to keep roads clear for those who 'belong there, not ringing the siren except in extreme emergencies would be an easier solution than mere asking the public to stay home. Sincerely, BETH A. OSTLER reg It is too bad that the seating at the Coliseum on the State Fair Grounds is not two or three times greater, for everyone should be privileged to see the annual production of Holiday on Ice.
