Airplane pilots have to be very alert these days, to avoid all of the numerous restricted areas.With the atomic bomb test grounds, guided missile ranges, and radar screened areas, there are gettting to be more and more places where you can't fly. The air isn't free as it once was. One small spot recently "roped off", which .is unusual in that it has nothing to do with war or national defense, is the Hollywood Holly-wood Bowl. Mr. J. S. Marriott, of the CAA, has issued a directive asking flyers to refrain from flying fly-ing over the Bowl during concerts. He points out that the Bowl is in a natural setting selected for its fine acoustics, but that due to its proximity to a natural flying lane, the Cahuenga Pass, many planes have been flying over it and causing cau-sing "interference with some of I the finest concerts available to i I music loving people.' The acoustical acous-tical effect of airplane engines is not wanted. The directive gives the location of the Bowl as Hi miles north of Hollywood Blvd. and V's mile west of Cahuenga Freeway. To help pilots identify it, the spot will be plainly marked during concert hrs. with two stationary red searchlight search-light beams crossed directly over ; it. The concert season is from July 11 to Sept. 16 and the critical 1 hours are 8 to 11 p. m. Reading Mr. Marriott's directive concerning the Hollywood Bowl, I recalled another difficulty which was encountered by the civic group that sponsored the Bowl, during it's early history. It was conceived by a group of Hollywood Holly-wood people as a place where music and other public events I could be staged in a beautiful natural amphitheatre in the hills. When tall buildings were projected which threatened to spoil the natural nat-ural skyline, the Committee succeeded suc-ceeded in getting a zoning ordinance ordin-ance passed which saved the skyline. sky-line. They have succeeded, so far, in preserving the natural beauty of the setting, as well as in pro- tecting it from the noise o'f passing pas-sing planes. f!?j |
