This ordin race will provide what is considered proper regulation.

It isn't the fault of the Tom Thumb course that there is a son and heir at my house, exactly 10 days old today, and that, without other aid, he manages to cut the amount of sleep in the family.

If we must have miniature golf, why not a miniature radio too? But no--we have miniature golf plus mammoth radio noise. Can you do something to stop this noise.

I can quote case of the golf barons who conducted the game until 3 a.m. Sunday ten feet from a dwelling, where the lights flooded the house and noise made sleep impossible.

Uncovered light bulbs penetrate into sleeping rooms through windows where there is no other means of ventilation. The whole family found it necessary to sit up until the last customer finished. I am no crank, and think golf of any sort a good sport, but should not the hours be limited? A. B. C.
