Forecast Invasion Weather

By JOHN MECKLIN | United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD U Ss INVASION FORCE FLAGSHIP, North Africa Port, July 19.—(Delayved)—(U. P.). —Lt. Cmdr. John Corry, 33, of Sayviesville, R.

A weather forecast turned in by Corry, aerologist assigned to this force, and sent to units of the fieet settled the question — would the storm subside in time? Corry said it would. It might have led to disaster tually it led to success. All afternoon top-ranking army and navy officers had expected orders to postpone the invasion. An unseasonal storm howled across the Mediterranean, usually mild this time of year. At 8 p. m, only seven hours and 45 minutes before landings were scheduled, Corry’s report came in. The wind then was hitting nearly 30 knots and increasing steadily.

Corry, a graduate of Annapolis in the class of 1932, said the storm itself was a freak and that the chances against such a blow KkickIng up in the Mediterranean this time of year were about 30 to 1.

Plastic Ear Plugs Prevent

Deafness From Plant Noise

By DR. THOMAS D, MASTERS

Loss of hearing from loud and continuous noise is an industrial danger which has naturally increased with so many more workers now being employed in war factories and plants. Because the treatm of this condition is such a difficult one, the need for preventing it bes)

comes the more pressing.

The war has an accelerated tempo in industry, and this need for

increased speed has been met with the use of automatic tools, such as pneumatic hammers and chippers, and SIN by increasing 2 the number of

Boiler-Maker's Ear

The so-called ‘Boiler-maker's Ear” is well known among workers in noisy industries. It comes from prolonged and repeated exe posure to noise, and takes the form of a progressive loss of hear= ing. More exactly, it is a deafness involving tones of the same piteh as that of the painful noise, whereas other parts of the scale may remain unaffected. Ordinary conversational tones at 10 feet have an intensity of about 30 decibels, Depending upon the frequency, immediately painful sounds vary from 115 to 130 decibels. A pneumoniatic rivet-hammer, for example, varies from 115 to 140 decibels, and thus qualifies as a painful noise, A noise environment in general, besides being an obvious nuisance, may lead to mental r=

The use of cotton plugs in the external auditory canal has long been resorted to, in order te reduce the effect of trying noises, If the cotton is well-packed into the canal, it will lower the intensity of the sound about 15% decibels.
