Other complaints of excessive noise have been heard, even at the present level of operations, and there must be sympathy with those who look upon the latest jet aircraft as thundering, smoke- “spewing monsters. As always, there is the need to examine the other side of the coin in order. to determine the value of the airport ‘to the community. Greater Victoria, the provincial capital, has a population of 200,000. Businessmen today depend on fast and efficient air travel, as do the professional classes and increasingly so the elected members and: per- - manent officials of the federal, provincial and municipal _ governments. It should be considered also that the local airport has attracted a number of small industries associated with ~ flying, These agencies employ a fair number of local ‘employees who purchase from our stores and in many - ways contribute to the economy and social life of the “surrounding communities. -» Complete and honest evaluation of the local situation - would indicate that the advantages of the airport clearly outweigh the. irritation associated with the arrival and eparture of aireraft.§ There are some who. accept the airport for the con- venience of regular. flights but object to its use for the purposes - of training.
