February 7, 1930 WILMETTE LIFE Ructioua Wail of Fire Siren Puts Life Into Even Deadest of Clubs The ructious wail of Wilmette's fire siren, bleating a wild summons to the stalwarts who swell Chief Walter Zibble's forces in case of emergency, tound an echo this week, sounded from homes and lodge rooms of the village. Strangely enough, it is not voiced by those who desire to "swing the wagon" as it "rolls" but by the feminine half of the households. According to information which poured into the editorial office of Wn.METTE LIFE in the form of petitions, both verbal and written, Chief Zibble's call to the hose arouse not only fighters of fire but also those who fear it. Club women, listening attentively to programs prepared at great effort, are reported to be bolting en masse when the siren blows, motivated by a common desire to leari1 whose children are in danger-or more specifically whether theirs are. Prompted to action by this continued disturbance, officials of the clubs devised a plan whereby they hope to cut the · exodus to those living in the particular section involved. Like most club programs, it is educational-merely to set out, in black and white, the exact code used by Chief Zibble in sounding his alarm. Responding to their request for aid, \VII,MI~T'I'E Ln·r. presents herewith the manner in which it is done: On e long blast is sounded as a genera! illarm. This is used in all instances and is followed by the dis trict code consisting- of Rhort sig-nals. An ev~..n number of !'hnrt l.Jla~ts indicate~ the flre is south of <'entral aYe nu~. an odd number, north of Central avenue. The division line east and west is the railroad tracks.
