AND
Noise is more than a nerve
jangler.
It's a killer,
So says acoustics physicist
Vern 0. Knudsen.
We know that noise puts a
strain on the heart and the blood
pressure by triggering the release
of adrenalin — a heart
stimulating hormone — into the
blood stream„
Sudden noise may make you
feel as if you're about to jump
out of your skin. In fact it
makes your heart stamp down
hard on the accelerator, so to
speak.
According to a famed hearing
expert, Samuel Rosen,"sudden
noise makes the heart beat
rapidly, the blood vessels
constrict, the skin pale and the
stomach, esophagus and
intestines seize up with spasms.
When noise is prolonged there
are heart flutters ..."
THE STEADY HUM
What about the steady hum
of noise that seven-tenths of the
population, who live in urban
communities, seem to "get used
to"?
Does this damage the heart,
too? No one knows for sure, but
doctors are convinced it puts a
strain on an already damaged
heart and it raises already
elevated blood pressures.
PREMATURE DEAFNESS
They are in no doubt
whatever that it damages
hearing.
• Voise destroys the cilia — the
tiny hair-like structures of the
inner ear. It also destroys the
sensitive hearing cells.
Noisy big city living has been
shown to reduce hearing ability
markedly.
But our so-called quiet
communities are no refuge from
noise pollution.
You may not believe it but
the blender in your kitchen, and
the power mower out back, are
major sources of deadly sound.
Scientists measure noise in
decibels — named after
Alexander Graham Bell, the
inventor of yet another noise
producer.
Anything about 80 decibles is
uncomfortable. Above 90,
doctors start worrying about
your heart, your hearing, and
your blood pressure. Your food
blender emits about 93 decibels,
and a power mower 96.
OFF-THE-JOB NOISE
Rock music, home power
equipment and transportation
are other sources of
non-occupational noise.
A 1967 study compared the
decibel count in selected
communities with the amount
recorded in 1954. In those 13
years the background level rose
as much as 9 decibels.
And when sudden, sharp,
peak level noises were measured
they were found to have
increased 16 decibels in those 13
years.
Noise pollution is in part a
result of our rapid increase in
population. Bigger populations
means constantly expanding
technology that engenders
industrialization which in turn
makes for more noise.
OVERCROWDED SUBURBS
As our society becomes more
industrialized there will be more
machines and more work for
those machines.
To-day about three-quarters
of us live in noisy cities and their
adjacent suburbs.
Tomorrow the percentage
may rise to something like
nine-tenths.
Virtually every North
American will live in a noisy,
crowded, polluted urban
environment that will endanger
his health if it does not literally
shorten his life.
More of us die each year from
heart and blood pressure diseases
than from any other causes,
including war, cancer and
automobile accidents.
More and more will die in the
years ahead unless we learn to
put silencers on our gadgets and
machines.
TAKE TIME FOR
TEN THINGS
1. Take time to work: it is the
price of success.
2. Take time to think; it is the
source of power.
3. Take time to play; it is the
secret of youth.
4. Take time to read; it is the
foundation of knowledge.
5. Take time to worship; it is
the highway of reverence and
washes the dust of earth from
our eyes.
6. Take time to help and enjoy
friends; it is the source of
happiness.
7. Take time to love; it is the
one sacrament of life.
8. Take time to dream; it
hitches the soul to the stars.
9. Take time to laugh; it is the
singing that helps with life's
loads.
10, Take time to plan; it is the
secret of being able to have
the time, to take time for the
first nine things. identifiable design and these

Symphony for
music lovers
Music enthusiasts who
attended the London Symphony
Orchestra Concert at the High
School Sunday evening were
rewarded by a fine performance
of light classical music under the
able baton of Conductor Clifford
Evens.
The program was
enthusiastically received by
around 350 persons and
included a soul stirring rendition
of Sibelius' Finlandia; a haunting
fantasia on the old English
melody of Greensleeves, and a
whimsical production of Peter
and the Wolf, narrated by Bill
Brady.
After intermission the
concert reached its climax with
the playing of Tchaikovsky's
pastoral and romantic
Symphony No. 5 in E Minor,
which was delivered with vigor
and sensitivity.
Beta Sigma Phi sorority was
instrumental in acquiring the
services of the London Orchestra
which in turn gave local
residents the opportunity of
attending a high calibre concert
of good music close to home.

Adrian Lopez, publisher of
Movieland & TV Time, hired a
secretary. On her first day at
work she gave him a memo
about a phone call; "I couldn't
read it," said Lopez, "and I
asked her why she scrawled so."
"Well," She explained,
couldn't understand the man
who called, so I didn't write it
very Clearly."
Rugs and carpets that were
the floorcoverings of European
palaces and castles are now
finding their way in ever
increasing numbers onto the
floors and walls of Canadian
homes.
More than 2,000 years ago
the nomadic peoples of Iran
started to utilize the wool from
their sheep, as they wandered
throughout central Asia, dyed it
and started to knot it into
attractive wall hangings and rugs
for their tents.
Today in very much the same
way, but in patterns and designs
that have been refined
throughout the ages, the
descendants of the wandering
nomads are still knotting rugs,
but they have developed the art
into an industry renowned
throughout the world.
One of the fastest growing
markets for oriental rugs is in
Canada where a growing number
of specialist rug dealers and
auctioneers are stocking an
increasing variety of rugs to
match the wide range of decors
found in Canadian homes.
Many Canadians having come
from Europe, already know how
long an oriental rug lasts and
they are used to them, having
seen them in their parents'
homes.
Although furniture fads are
changing all the time it seems
that there is an oriental rug to
match every taste whether it be
Louis XV, Scandinavian teak or
Old Quebec pine.
The reason for the variety in
Persian carpets is that each tribe
has developed its own
three months to ten years to
complete.
There are a number of ways
to tell the quality of a rug, the
two most obvious are the
thickness of the pile and the
closeness of the knotting. The
more knots in the carpet, the
more labour has been involved in
its manufacture and the deeper
the pile often means the longer
it will last. The people of the
town of Sarouk for instance
make a rug that is known as the
`Iron Carpet of Persia' and
examples have been known to
last more than 80 years in
constant use.
Every true original rug that
has been hand-knotted is more
than just a floor covering, it is a
piece of art that has been
laboriously created and it will
give a great deal of pleasure for a
very long time.
