CHIEF SEATTLE, To Chief George Mantor Dear Chief; The other day I noticed a fire truck returning from a fire.

Sincerely, CHIEF SEATTLE, ._ To Seattle Automobilists Dear Drivers: Now that this campaign is on for careful driving, I ‘wonder if you all realize that your arm signals are almost as great a help to the pedestrian crossing the street as they are to your fellow driver watching you.

To “A Conscientious Driver” Dear Humanitarian: A fine idea to reckless drivers who come within your ken.
