THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
SPEED AND NOISE
That fine stretches of sen-beach should be taken possesion of on holdida.vs for motor racing purposes cannot appear desirable, from more than one point of view. It may be claimed that speed and noise are inevitable conditions of the age in which lye live. That may. he, hut aii accompanying tendency towards a decline of interest on the part of young -men in other timehonoured and healthful outlets for their physical energy is surely an ununwe! ome symptom, it is. regrettable to see such line exercises and pastimes as rowing and boat-sailing, tor example, neglected for the cult of driving a machine. Not exactly grateful in the ears of residents of the harbourside is the reverberating roar of the outboard motor. Such reflections may be vain, but they are surely not unreasonable.
