As it is with so many entertain-
ers who can make you feel with
them, can hold you spellund in
the palm of their hands for as
long -as they tell their story in
song. Edith Piaf's life was hell
on earth. Yet despite all her un-
happiness, despite the sea of
troubles that eventually drowned
,,her, Edith Piaf could make you
shed tears of happiness as well as
tears of despair.
Piaf was born in 1915 in the
, poor secon of Paris, hence the
little wolflike characteristics that
made her so beloved by the
French people. 'The little
parrow', they called her and
low the title fit; the strong vi-
brating voice that came from her
under -five-foot frame was almost
too good to be true.
Cared for by girls in a brothel
in Normandy, her childhood was
plagued by trial upon trial, in-
cluding blindness. After a
miraculous cure .during a reli-
gious pilgrimage, she became de-
voted to the Church but it did
little to settle her turbulent life.
By the time she was 14 she was a
street -singer and a street -walker.
But her public loved her for she
represented all the mountains
that everyone had to face in a
lifetime and her tiny narrow
shoulders bore everyone's bur-
dens.
They made her a -star, first in
France where they swarmed to
tinystreet cafes to hear her,
bought her records, and followed
with interest each turn of events
in her personal life, from her
fiery love affair with French box-
ing star Marcel Cerdan in the
40s;. her first marriage • to
Jacques Pills in the 50s; her sec-
ond to young Theo Sarapo in the
60s; and countless other scandals
in-between. Cerdan died irk a
plane crash in 1970. As one of her
proteges said in many cases,'
'she made something of someone,
then turned around and de-
stroyed him'. Eventually, with
'her merry-go-round life of alco-
hol and drugs, pushing herself too
far for the public who adored her,
she destroyed herself or the 'star
system' did the job for her, as it
has with so many before Piaf and
since Piaf.
Piaf died in 1963 at the age of 47
and a weeping public filed past
her coffin and mourned her death -
as though she was one of the
family. (ler music, though, gor-
geous -songs li F "La Vie En
Rose", ,"If >.." Love Me"
(written immediately after Cer-
dan's death "Love Is Like
Champagne", Milord" and on
avid on, the music that brought
Paris to America like no one else
could, will never die 'because it
tells of a life so vital.
"I 'Regret Nothing" were' her
words in last Friday night's spe-
cial. A, BBC production, it was
written and directed by Michael
Houldey who must have spent
years obtaining the remarkable
film.
Another tragic note -unlike
Judy Garland whose daughter
now walks in a star's shoes, Piaf
never made such a contribution.
to the world of entertainment.
Her only daughter died at the age
of two in the 1930s.

TORONTO 5. ontat•io
A few years ago, a bleary-eyed
homeowner was in Provincial
court complaining about the
racket his neighbor's air condi-
tioner made all summer.
While his neighbor slept_jn cool
comfort, he, tossed and turned all
night because of the sound the
outside compressor made.
Finally, the only solution he
could think of was to sue the
neighbor and parade a line of ex-
pert witnesses in a courtroom.
Almost before the case got un-
der way, the judge cut to the
quick of the air conditioner case.
"Does anybody make a muffler
or silencing hood for that thing?"
he asked, indicating the machine.
The experts agreed: "Yes."
"Then buy one," he ordered.
'tCase•'dismissed.1- •
It was a simple, logical solu-
tion, but WS hard bo -be logical
and unemotional where noise is
involved. Noise is the pollution
that can have an effect on the
emotional stability as well as on
the body.,
,It has been around a long time.
Julius Ceasar was said to have
complaiped about the clatter of
chariot wheels on the cobble-
stones of Rome and banned them
from the streets after sunset
Now psychiatric studies are
under way exploring the effects
of noise and some interesting re-
sults are showing up.
One New York psychiatrist re-
ports' there is a recurring fantasy
1922-1972
among some men who live near
major ' airports. It involves
breaking into the 'nearest ar-
moriea and 'stealing an anti-air-
craft gun. And the next low4lyint
jet ... booth!
This particular student of
human response to noise became
interested in the subject when he
discovered his new house was on
the flight path to John F. Ken-
nedy airport.
Jets, cars, trucks, motorcycles,
snowmobiles, vacuum cleaners,
transistor radios, stereos, jack
hammers and rivetting guns -all
these things and more are as-
saulting our ears.
The pain threshold -the point
where sound actually hurts -is
easy to establish. It is in the
neighborhood of 140 decibels.
That's somewhere between the
interior noise level of a .dowel
truck cab and the sound of a
small jet engine 100 feet .away.
And _the -majority- -of -medical
opinion is that a steady noise lev-
el above 80 decibels `fox ai low
period of time can cause some
hearing loss.
But experts are still studying
the levels at which noise con-
tributes to emotional stress.
The Department of the Envir-
onment is working on noise regu-
v lations, for Ontario.
Environment Minister James
Auld said he is considering a new
approach, to the development of
these controls, setting up a single
community as a pilot project in
noise regulation. This would pro-
vide a field test for the workabil-
ity of restrictions and the results
could then be applied
