Anti.Noise Law
Hearing Called
In Arlington
Attorney Douglas
Authorized to
Write Ordinance

The Arlington County Board today
took the first steps toward enact
ment of an ordinance outlawing ex-
cessive noise and other types OF
public nuisances by calling a public
hearing on the proposal for July IA.
Ordering advertisement of the
proposed ordinance in the county
newspapers, the board authorized
Commonwealth Attorney Lawrence
w. Douglas to draw up an anti-noise
law on the lines of an ordinance
submitted to the board by the Coun-
ty Safety Council.
1t also was determined to limit
hours during which repair shops
and other NOISY" industries might
operate to 7 am. until pm.
The board was careful to explain
that it did not propose to prohibit
business men from operating after
pm, but merely prevented them
from operating noisily after that
hour.
Under the ordinance Mr.. Douglas
was authorized to draw up, unnec-
esSary noises from automobile horns,
whistles or guns, or any noise which
might disturb the peace or well be-
ing of the community would be
misdemeanor. The penalty for vio-
lating this ordinance, the common
wealth attorney said, would be not
more than $50 fine, nor more than
80 days in Jail, or both.
The pm. "curfew," favored
unanimously by the board, was
suggested by Chance Buchanan Of
1921 North Fillmore street.
The ordinance also would pro-
hibit the loud playing of radios or
musical instruments between the
hours of midnight and 8 am. Per-
sons making noises in the vicinity
of hospitals. schools or other pub
lie meeting houses would be liable
to prosecution under the ordinance.

Driving to Baltimore, Father
Thomas B. Dade picked up boys
from Camp Meade,
He talked to Army chaplains and
selectees who visited his home.
Again and again he heard the same
story.
Finally. he came before his con-
gregation and told them the Sc
lectees were being given cold
shoulder by the People of Washing
ton. These boys represent the cream
of the country, he said. They are
your neighborS' sons.
Selectees came to that mass and
one of them wrote Father Dade
letter.
Until I went to mass" the boy
wrote, Il walked the streets of
Washington in much the same man
ner you've described, aimlessly wan
dering about one street into another,
hesitant to ask anything or do any
thing other than just stand and
stare as the people passed by, my
mind buzzing furiously with the
why's and Wherefors of our mis-
treatment. Frankly speaking, not
any of us want to congregate on
corners. to stand as if on display.
We'd like to make friends and good
friends.
Just Want a Kind Word.
90 1t was. Father, as you said:
we come seeking friendship, good
friendship, and when we are refused
this we turn toward the friendships
of those that are looked upon as
bad; we don't ask anything of the
people but friendship and a kind
word.
I've seen the Capital My
resolution is not to come to it again,
but I do find it welcome fact to
know that some one had set about
informing the people that soldiers
aren't all bad, but will through indif-
ference become such. ="

local United Service Organizations
program for the National Catholic
Community Service, one of the six
