There was an article in today's (12/14/84) Los Angeles Herald Examiner on that very subject (unfortunately, I didn't buy the paper). It pointed out that many mall shop owners said that the bells interfered with their business, and so they got the mall associations to kick the volunteers out. They also pointed out that one enterprising group of volunteers took to ringing wooden bells with "ding" painted on one side and "dong" on the other. -- | Daniel P.
