" Longley. Fire Chief Miller received a

list of suggestions which are as fol lows: "If In your community, there are lo cal fireworks ordinances prohibiting or regulating the sale and use of fireworks, obtain the co-operation of the proper authorities in seeing that these ordinances are strictly enforced.
