SOUND TRUCKS:
BANE OR BLESSING?
To one bystander, a blaring
sound truck is a form of noise
pollution, fouling the public air.
But to another, tiie same truck
is a healthful exercise in the
right of free speech.
Which view is correct? With
increasing frequency, our courts
are being called upon to decide.
They begin with the proposi-
tion that freedom of speech is not
an absolute, unlimited right. In
one case, a city ordinance for-
bade sound trucks from making
“loud and raucous noises.” A
local union, embroiled in a labor
dispute, challenged the ordinance
as an unconstitutional interfer-
ence with free speech.
But the court turned down this
objection. The court said that in
the name of peace and tranquil-
lity, a community had the right
to hold noise down to a moderate
level.
However, while reasonable re-
strictions are a 11 right, most
courts frown on efforts to ban
sound trucks altogether. When a
city tried a ban of this kind, a
union again took the matter to
court.
At the hearing, the city argued
that the union could use some
other, quiter means cf getting its
message across to the public.
But the court held the ban un-
constitutional, saying:
"In certain instances, the sound
truck may be the only practical
means for communication of
opinion. The right of free
speech is worthless in the ab-
sence of a meaningful method of
.ts expression.”
Another city passed an ordi-
nance saying that sound trucks
couid be used, provided the
chief of police first gave his per-
mission. However, the ordinance
said nothing at all about any

THIS WEEK’S LETTER: 1 am
a girl in the eighth grade with a
problem. I have several girl-
friends and they always have boy-
friends. I consider myself just as
cute as they are, but they have
the boyfriends and 1 do not
That’s my problem! Can you give
me some advice' on what to do
■with myself?
OUR REPLY: The best advice
w can give you is to stop worry-
ing Just because your other girl-
friends "always have boyfriends”
t* no reason for you to panic at
your young age. You certainly are
not mature enough for a lasting
friendship with a hoy, if your in-
icest is only keeping up with
your girlfriends. Their relation-
ship* with their boyfriends just
last a few days or a few weeks,
and then they search for another
boyfriend to last a few weeks.
Their boyfriends are probably
just as immature as the girls are.
There is no reason why you have
to join this immature circle of
frequent romances.
You should be concentrating on
trying to develop a mature and
interesting personality. Make this
your goal for the next several
years. If you are successful at
reaching this goal, you’ll find that
boys will become interested in
you because of your mature out-
look and interesting personality.

Here, too, when the ordinance
was challenged in a test case, the
court saw danger to freedom of
speech, especially in the realm of
politics.
"The sound truck has become
an accepted method* of political
campaigning,” said the court.
‘‘Must a candidate for governor
or Congress depend on the whim
or caprice of the chief of police
in order to se his sound truck
for campaigning?
Holding the ordinance invalid,
the court said the power to pre-
vent speech, just like the night
to speak, must be kept within
reasonable limits.

Buying Plaid or Striped Fabric
You’ll need to buy more fabric
for matching plaids or stripes
than when your fabric has a solid
or all-over design. The extra
amount depends upon the size of
the plaid or stripe and whether
the design is even or uneven. In
general, an extra one-eighth yard
will be needed.
