How loud is too loud?
By MARION WELLS Cppley News Service ‘Honey, I can’t hear you over that record player.” Rather than turn the volume down, “honey” raises his voice. Bert thought the air conditioner sounded quiet enough in the store. Hearing it in his living room, combined with people talking and the TV turned on, he wishes he’d shopped around for a quieter model. With over-all environmental noise levels said to be getting louder each year, it seems one question is being asked more loudly than ever: How loud is too loud?” The answers to that question may affect your hearing, your health and the quality of your life. Scientists believe the effects of noise to be of increasing health consequence as sound intensity increases or exposure is prolonged. Noise around the home may actually approach industrial levels, giving our ears little rest. We can also begin to go deaf at our leisure Raymond E. Jordan. M.D., notes, “There are a number of scientific reports showing nerve damage in teen-agers from exposure to live rock-and-roll music ” Noise may also reach high levels at discotheques. amusement parks and speedways. Other significant sources of noise include snowmobiles, motorcycles, mimibikes, motorboats, home shop tools and a blaring hi-fi or television set. What other effects may noise have on health? The autonomic nervous system, which regulates digestive, heart, circulatory and involuntary muscle responses, may react to noise. Noise can trigger a rise in blood pressure. Can noise be a factor in cancer? A Scandinavian authority raises the possibility. Recently Ambio, a publication of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, devoted an issue to the work environment. Writing on noise, Aage R. Moller of the KaroUnska Institute noted there is evidence to suggest that sound of sufficient intensity may give rise to increased production of certain hormonek, leading to such effects as a rise in blood sugar level and suppression of the immunological system's activity. Regarding one of these hormones, cortisol, Moller goes on to state, “Recent studies have shown that an increased cortisol secretion may reduce the detoxifying function of the liver .. There is thus a possibility that noise in that wax may increase the hazard of carcinogenic substances that have entered the body.” Noise may also, to varying degrees, create annoyance, disturb sleep and interfere with relaxation and normal conversation, with implica-

tions for both physical and emotional well-being Be alert to the following indications that you’re being subjected to hazardous noise levels; (1) the need to shout to make yourself heard during noise exposure. 12i pain, “fullness” or “ringing” in your ears during or after exposure. or (3) dulled hearing following exposire. Give yourself frequent “quiet breaks.” It’s been noted that “...if noise exposure is interrupted by relatively quiet periods, the hazard is reduced compared with continuous exposure of the same duration.” At home, plan to reduce the number of noise-makers operating at any one time. Buy the quietest appliances you can find, and bypass needlessly noisy toys. Note that closed doors, drapes, carpeting, appropriate ceiling acoustics and well-placed outdoor shrubbery help to muffle sound.

EASTER SEAL CHILD — Marla Keck, a very delightful nine-year-old from Kokomo, will serve as the 1976 Indiana Easter Seal Child. She will represent the thousands of crippled children throughout the state during this year’s campaign. March 1 through April 18. The selection of the child is made annually by the Indianapolis Women’s Civic club. Marla is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.. Robert Keck. She attends Columbian school in Kokomo. Born with spina bifida (open spinel, she has undergone four major surgeries and presently wears long leg braces and uses forearm crutches.

Montreal's surrender is reported From the Pennsylvania Evening Post, Phfladeb pW«, late autumn, 1775, 2N yean ago: NEW-YORK, November 27. About eleven o’clock yesterday forenoon, Capt Henry Livingston arrived here from Montreal, and informs us of the surrender of that dty to Gen. Montgomery, on Monday the thirteenth instant, upon condition that the in- / habitants have the full enjqyJ ment of their religion as usual, and their property secured from plunder. We also learn that Gov. Carleton was gone off for Quebeck, with several vessels and a large quantity of gunpowder, but that it was expected the whole would fall into the hands of Col. (Benedict) Arnold, who, we hear, was arrived before Quebeck, and no doubt would very soon reduce that place. Every necessary requisite for supplying the army under General Montgomery was found in Montreal, and on the most moderate terms, and there they will find very comforts ble winter quarters, after an amazingly fatiguing campaign * Extract of a letter from an officer of rank, at the camp before St. John’s, Nov. 1, 1775. “Colonel tEthan) Allen’s misfortune happened by reason of his not being joined, as was agreed, by four hundred men, which undoubtedly would have enabled him to have stood the party that attacked him, they being onlythree hundred strong. “Colonel Allen withstood them an hour and a quarter, with only forty men — he had forty men, exclusive of seventy Canadians. Most of the Canadians left him on the first fire from the enemy. “Allen had but one man killed in the skirmish. Seventeen of the enemy were killed. “Several Canadians were taken prisoners with Col. Allen, who the Regular officers said they would put to death; on which Allen stepped up, opened his breast, and said the Canadians were not to blame; that he brought them there, and that if anybody must be murdered, let it be him. This got him great credit with all the officers at Montreal, and General Carleton himself said it was a pity a man of Alien’s spirit should be engaged in so bad a cause, as he calls it. “Colonel Allen is prisoner on board the Gaspee brig before Montreal. General Schuyler has offered to give up any officer he has, in exchange for him, but has not as yet received an answer.”

NO JOKING . . . tomorrow is April 1! Authorities are not clear on how April Fool’s Day came about but it seems it originated in France about 1564. It apparently became a custom after the adoption of the reform calendar by Charles IX. making the new year begin on January 1, instead of March 25. April 1. it seems, formerly the termination of the new year’s festivities, with gifts and exchange of calls of the order of the day. Conservatives objected to the calendar change and wags began sending mock gifts and making calls of pretended ceremony. April fooling became common in England about the 18th century. Early settlers in America brought the custom with them. As one expert wrote. “It is a great favorite with little boys.” WILL ERWlnT candidate for the US Congress on the Republican ticket, was in Milford on Monday morning. Did you meet him? All residents of Our Town should make it a point to meet as many candidates as possible during this election year so they can vote in May as informed citizens. QUESTION OF the month - Did you ever really know a dog named Fido or Rover? Or a cat named Tabby? Or a mouse named Mickey? Or a cow named Bossy? Or a bird named Dirty’’ THE MILFORD fire department has been busy on warm spring days answering calls for grass fires. They had one call last Thursday and two on Friday. Persons setting fires should remember the March winds are upon us — they will continue through at least part of April unless our guess is wrong — and a simple trash fire can become a roaring grass fire unless care is taken.
