Show ; t tr $ar Groups At Odds Over Race Tracks Its A Roaring Rage ffeeim IPsge REVIEW, April 28, 1966 AI4 p-r- 3 The residents of Rose Park are singing a rock-a-b- ye tune which may stop a surge of lullabies made by roaring race cars. The debate is split between two groups that are pushing and pulling at opposite ends; that group which can carry the heaviest blow will most likely swing the victory punch. However, another group acting as middle men are sitting on their opinions and arent willing to rush to either side As states a Rose Park resident. Tm in the middle. Some regard the races annoying, but its not so extreme. I dont know what the races are like nor do I know the advantages or disadvantages. It is unusual for me not to take a stand cm any issue. But this is one issue that I would like to remam pretty much in the middle. Besides the only (me the noise bugs is my dog.' A mother of three children. Mrs. Sue Pollack, 332 Oakley Street, states: I would sign the petition if they brought it around to my door, but I wouldnt go out of, my way to sign it. Frankly the noise just doesnt bother me.' Almost next door to the race track lives a young married couple with two children ages 4 years and 1 year. The noise isnt much worse than the plants nor is it much worse than the cars driving along the highway, states Ed. Larsen, 306 Oakley Street. There is no sense in stopping it, pipes up Mrs. EP Larsen. The people shouldnt have moved here in the first place. The noise doesn't bother me. We were left a petition on the door, but we never signed it. We dont think the race track is needed, but we feel that they shouldnt stop it. concluded Mr. and Mrs. of the school and give them more status so they would do a good job, he stated.

A counter petition was drawn up by 59 Rose Park residents in favor of keeping the races. A majority of the signers voiced that they would rather have the roar of the race cars than the crash of breaking windows and street lights. Were not saying that the races arent noisy, Mrs. George Theos, 433 Oakley Street (1240 West) states, They are, but there are a lot of people who live closer to the fairgroundj than those who are protesting who arent complaining. Wed rather have the noise than have our kids on the streets,' voiced Mrs. Donna Ward, 480 Oakley Street. As pointed out by Mrs. Theos the race track employs nearly 60 boys from the Rose Park area. The noise doesnt bother me, states Bob Milner, 346 Oakley Street. They came around two years ago and I wouldnt sign the petition then to oppose the race track and I wont sign it now. He continued: Instead of wasting their time protesting the race track, they should complain about a real problem the flies in the state stable. The flies drift over here and are very bothersome and detrimental to our health. But they wont get rid of it because the high officials in the state keep the horses there so they can ride them on Olympus Pres.

Residents complain that the noise and dust is forbiddable, and that during the races they have had things stolen out erf their homes. As states a resident: We cant sleep. The dust is terrible. And if they would have brought the petition around when we were home we would have signed it.' But squeezed between the two coin sides of controversy are the youth who work on Friday and Saturday during the car races at the fairgrounds. One of the youth works during the races to earn enough money to subsidize the wages of his mother. He is one of six children who live in a modest apartment. His divorced mother was originally deserted by the father leaving her to earn a meager living as a cocktail waitress.There are other teens who work to earn extra money for Than there are the ernes who just enjoy school and fun. working on cars because they are hopeful of gaining exper-ien&auto mechanics.

The drivers are instructed every week to be as Quiet as possible. A driver is fined if he is caught without a muffler on his car.' As points out Mrs. Theos: The drivers in these races are not overgrown juvenile delinquents. Many are businessmen who have built up cars for racing as a hobby. They're yers, salesmen, businesspeople from all walks of men... who have invested a lot of money in their cars.'
