Sumner Valley
Sir, —For many years now, all day long and even at nights, we, in our lovely Sumner Valley, have been inflicted with smoke from the Institute for the Deaf, the worst of it coming from the bonfires in the grounds. The gardeners appear to stack up with green stuff, and so make a smouldering mess, the smoke of which obscures the aun and the light. I understand that the correct thing is to dry off rubbish and then wait for a good windy day, so that smoke vanishes quickly. I write this letter not only on my behalf, but also at the instigation of my neighbours, many of them greater i erers than I. Please, is there any help for us?—Yours, etc., NO-SMOKE.
June 28, 1959. [The Principal of the Sumner School for the Deaf (Mr H. Pickering) said that if the correspondent would call and see him he would be pleased to provide him with dates on which there had been garden fires in the school, grounds, which would prove that his statement about the frequency of these was greatly exaggerated.]
