People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the  1  and have made up their minds to  2  the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run   3  through the narrow High Street. “They not only make it  4  to sleep at night, but they are doing damage to our houses and shops of historical  5  , ”said John Norris, one of the protestors.

“If we must have these noisy trucks on the roads, ” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town?  Burlington isn’t much more than a  6  village. Its streets were never  7  for heavy traffic. ”

Harry Fields also studying  8  said they wanted to make as much  9  as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to  10  . “Most of them don’t  11  here anyway, ” he said, “they come for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof, so they probably don’t  12  . It is high time they realized the problem. ” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren’t, they soon would be.

 I asked if they were  13  that the police might come to stop them.

“Not really, ” she said, “actually we are  14  bell ringers. I mean we are assistant bell ringers for the church. There is no law against practising. ”
