Anyone concerned about the
- gradual loss of their hearing due
to passing cars with cassette or
‘disc players. blaring may be get-
‘ting some help. Terrace city

council recently expressed con-

‘gern about noise control of these
“oom” cars and have received
_ a: letter: from Solicior General
Angus Ree who-writes, ‘I. sup-
‘ port the idea of controlling the.
‘level of sound that may be.
emitted - ‘outside an automo-
bile.”

Ree says his staff has con-
-sulted with the RCMP and are
now discussing the matter with
legislative counsel to determine
if a regulation can be developed
which can be enforced without
great difficulty.

‘Crosswalk
declined |

TERRACE — ER. Green of
3808 Eby St. has suggested that -
the city put a crosswalk at; ithe.
intersection of Eby and McCon-
nell, According to Green, this
would make it possible for Park-
side Elementary children living
east of Eby to cross at McCon-
nell and walk north on the Eby
St. sidewalk to another cross-_
walk:at the entrance to Parkside
School. =: 3
_ “This would: ‘be much safer
for the children as they now
; wander. about .the street .when.
going to school,”’ says "Green.
Who adds, ‘ ‘They are also tram-
pling the portion of grassed area
on the east side of Eby Street
between McConnell and Park-
- side School.. This area my neigh-
bor. endeavors to keep neat by
“watering and mowing the grass
. t he seeded.”

- But if ‘council follows ‘the
recommendation of the Public

“Works Committee there won’t

be.any Eby St. crosswalk as

“request by-Green. The commit-
“tee feels that making the school
children cross Eby twice in a
matter of only a few hundred
feet wouldn’t be safer and a
sidewalk on the east side of Eby
may be a better solution.
