Does the Low Require People
To Be Quieter at Night
Than in the Daytime?

A small bakery, located in a
residential neighborhood, did most
of It's work in the hours before
dawn. During much of the night.
the neighbors were disturbed by
the clangor Of trays, the shouts of
workmen, and the operation Of
mixing machine (Which sounded
like a. truck climbing a hill in low
gear"). Finally the neighbors went
to court for an injunction. The pro-
priefor argued that the noises were
a necessary part of his business,
but the court nevertheless ordered
him to reduce the clatter at once.
The judge said: 1.-THE time when
noise Is made must be taken into
consideration. Mankind needs sleep
for a succession OF several hours,
and nature has provided time for
that purpose--to wit, the night. By
common consent of civilized So
ciety. the night is devoteda to rest
and sleep"

The boys who went to the fin

They are in school regularly,
neither seeking nor receiving any
special favors in their studies.
They behave themselves, and
none Of them are problems In

dent, and another is well above
the average. Most of them will,

would be credit to any commu1l

athletic ability, we can have an
abiding happiness.
With all respect to the other

Contributions
Tops In Chest

Employees of Libbey Owens
Ford Glass Co. topped all diVi-
sions in the employees group
of the Community Chest cam
paign last week with % per cent,
workers of Unitcast Corp, had
pledges for Is per cent.
Employees of both firms have
adopted the year-round payroll
deduction plan, to meet their
Chest pledges. 1t was the second
week L-O-F people carried
away top honors. At the first re-
port meeting, they had already
passed their quota by one per
cent.
The drive total is ST, ,141,750.
The employees division has
been assigned $685. ,991. Tagging
slightly behind last year, the
unit had pledged 43 per cent of
its quota last week.
The campaign, which closes
Monday, Oct. 80, supports 46
Red Feather agencies serving
greater Toledo area. The goal
has been increased this year,
due to initiation and the addi-
ton of four new agencies. The
larger goal also is due to the
fact that the Chest has not met
its quota for three years, so that
necessary repairs and improve
ments to agencies have been de-
layed.
