Let the fresh spring air inside

To the editor:

This is an appeal to all fireplace owners. I know you love your fires on cold winter days and nights, but on these 70-degree days how about giving your neighbors a break and forgoing your fires so we can open our windows and get some fresh air? When we do open our windows all we get is smoke. There is no need of a fire when it is 70 degrees outside. Please have a little thought for others. It would be greatly appreciated.
