To the Editor of the "NonrH-CHINA Dary News."
Sm—In view of the great success of the anti-motor horn nuisance campaign just concluded, din having given way to silence, may I suggest that we go on to bigger and better things?
Offence to our ears having been removed, or, at least, reduced, why not wage a campaign against unpleasant and harmful odours? I suggest that the first enemy in this category of evils is the excessive exhausts, black and foul, emanating from many buses, trucks and motor cars, If the case were presented in a proper spirit, I feel sure owners and operators would be very happy to cooperate. What could be simpler than to prepare and publish a list of garages which would be glad of a little extra decarbonizing and carburetter adjustment, business The principle of educating the public has worked so well as regards the horn-tooting nuisance that it would be very regrettable were we fo relax into the state of lethargy which has prevailed for so long, When the excessive exhaust nuisance has been exterminated, and may that not be long, I shall have pleasure in suggesting other nuisances which are waiting for someone to turn on the required educational pressure, PRo-Pustic.
