Mother nature herself, as caught in the Whirlwind of merriment, provided a superb evening with a sympathetic full moon, con- trasting sharply with the threat- ening weather enjoyed (‘3) during most of Junior Week. The site of the dance as chosen by the Junior Committee justified all of the favorable advance notices given it; and it is, without doubt, one of the finest sites yet chosen for the Junior Informal. The beau- tifully ornamented ballroom and the comfortable and inviting veranda were a proper adjunct to a moonlit evening; all properly dedicated to the effulgent spirit of the true Armour man. Reflecting on the insight of the dance committee was the perfor- mance of “Toasty” Paul and his seven-piece orchestra who were abetted by the performance of their pretty vocalist. Paul is cur- rently engaged at Olson’s, a pop- ular “eatery” just west of the city, although he has also played engagements at various hotels in (continued on page four) Z143 AND l'l" rsu'r DIRT! ‘ Fido (loft) heels-sting one of the outline in the recent.

Leedy ol‘ the Armour Research Foundation hat“. been in- etruclcd by the Chicago Noise He- (luction Council to Survey and dc. termine the extent and degree or the unpleasant sounds that have earned Chicago the name of “The World's Noieleut City.” Dr. Leedy will first set. up his decibel-measuring devices; at well known noisy spots, and in the en— suing months will nend his; ma- chines around to lesser known sources of noise, to provide :1 ba- sis for public comparison. Thus, instead of reporting that. u suburban switch engine’s pulling measures. so many decibels, he will be able to tell the public that it is equal to two L cars on a curve ”or onehali‘ of an L car, which ever the measurement may chow. The general idea is: to arouse public interest in noise reduction, and to elicit public cooperation. New York City has just resumed ill; drive against needless sound, with particular emphauia on mo- tor-ism. Gotham is now measur- ing the. sound of taxi horns, and the horn manufacturero have in- dicated willingness to make a horn that will “just do the job,” not scare the neighborhood. Noises; are broken down into two classes: Preventable, and the sounds indispensable to industry. The Chicago Noise Reduction council is convinced that the pre- ventable noises are the most gen- eral and most provoking. The council is making plans to participate in National Noise Abatement Week, June 1 to 7, and one of those days will doubtless be designated “Quiet Chicago Day.” The public will be asked to walk on tiptoc, keep the finger oil the horn button, speak in whis- pers, and generally stop its infer- nal racket. Based on New York experience, the council is convinced the re- sults will be both soothing and refreshing. The council is en- listing the aid of the Chicago Board of Health, to stress to Chi- cagoans that unnecessary noises aren’t good for the nerves or diges- tion. ”Gilli?
