Letter To The Editor

Tornado sirens
Dear Editor,

Upon reading Marie R. McClatchy’s letter about the need for tornado sirens, my memory went back to the time when the old water tower was across from the old fire department.

Mounted on its frame, about halfway up, was a huge siren that was used to call volunteer firemen to the station. It could be heard all over town.

I have no idea what happened to it but, if anyone knows, it would solve the need for a tornado siren today.

Tom Stewart Sr.
