In earlier days the takeoff paths were somewhat dispersed temporally and geographically so our area received only a fair share of the noise burden.

Helen G. Norjen of Farmingdale, a trustee of the Woodland Civic Association, which represents homeowners about a mile northwest of the airport, said she had "hoped the F.A.A. would have made it more tolerable for the people living near airports rather than adding an additional noise burden."

It is a weekday problem primarily and it is quite intolerable While I agree that that the traffic of planes coming in to land is disturbing to East Harlem residents, and I sympathize with their plight, I wonder whether they have as much of a noise burden in the early morning.
