DISCUSS FIRE EQUIPMENT REPAIRS Fire Chief Bill Hess reported on the condition of the radio communications system at town board meeting Tuesday night. He said only four radios are in good working condition and that the rest need repairs. New radios cost at least $37.50. Repairs range from $2 to $6, depending on the extent of work to be done. The present radio system was purchased from Motorola five or six years ago. Rather than to buy instruments this year. Harry Coy, board member, suggested that Hess investigate the cost of repairs and report the estimated total charge. Hess also reported that the fire department has a fire inspection program which would help to eliminate hazards and promote fire prevention. Before the inspection program can be effective it will be necessary for the town to have a fire prevention code so that recommendations made by the inspectors can be enforced. Carl Myrick of the fire department had a book of codes approved by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and suggested that a code suitable for Syracuse could be drawn up by using the accepted codes as a pattern. The board advised Hess to refer the matter to Leon Connolly, town attorney, asking him to prepare a code for presentation to the town board and fire department for further consideration.

When Gayle Wiese, first grade pupil in Mrs. Bobeck’s room, became ill at school Tuesday and her condition was diagnosed as scarlet fever, the school was advised to dismiss her classmates for the remainder of the week. This was done as a precaution and to permit a closer check of symptoms that might develop. Superintendent Lewis Immel said there is no cause for alarm. Local doctors and the county health officer assured school authorities that one case is not sufficient cause to close the grade school. The disease is easily controlled by modem drugs, they said, also that each year there are fewer cases. Daughter of Paul Wiese, Gayle lives with her grandmother, Mrs. Effie Emerson. She had been treated by a local physician for a sore throat for several days, and was taken to the doctor when she became ill at school.
