Air In Area Is Polluted BY MRS. RAYMOND STUART Something has happened to Edgeley area. It has become polluted. No longer is it clean and pure and pleasant to bre- athe. As .time goes on and more motor vehicles travel on our improved and widened high- ways, the air becomes more contaminated with noxious fumes. A stench lingers in the air most of the time now from heavy traffic and at times, such as the present (and October 24 to 28 last, in particular) when there is little or no movement of air. exhaust fumes become so overpowering it is necessary to keep doors and windows closed in order. for a time, to avoid breathing it. The November meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Joyce Curtis and the roll call will be “The most enjoyable trip my husband and I have taken." The programme will be in charge of Mrs. Janet Robbins citizenship and education con- venor. Mrs. Marg Blow and Mrs. Audrey Kupchenko will be in charge of refreshments.‘ Birthday greetings to David Ablett who was eight years old on October 21.

Already considerable human discomfort from concentrated exhaust fumes has been exper- ienced and it is well-known that accummulating air contam- lmtlon can and has caused death in other places. It could happen here too. In certain circumstances our population could, indeed, suffer fatally. We are told that to overcomoi the effects of the internal com-‘ bustion engine. several solu-: tions are open to municipalitiesi One is to produce better thorou- ghfares, so vehicles can pass through more quickly. Another is to produce public transpor- tation so that the automobile Isn't required. But if we con- tinue to use automobiles in the years to come. we must have an exhaust control system which will burn the toxic gases to safe non-toxic substances.
