    Think fire bell at the fire station. In your room next to your bed.Some of those early alarm clocks were like that.No buzz, no music, just CLANG, CLANG, CLANG.No over sleeping then but hope your heart is strong.

    Buzza Wuzza, you’ll see similar “action” from pictures on the wall in “Bringing Up Father.”

    What was the Yellow Kid’s name? ( Yes, he had one. )
