Extension Agent’s Column

Noises in the Home
Modern houses are smaller with
lower ceilings contributing to the
noise problem in a home. With
less space inside the house, there
are more things to make noise
than in years past. There are
more cars, television sets, ra
dios, motored appliances, and just
people. All contribute to the noise
around the house. Os course noise
can cause fatigue and irritation
and it surely distracts, disturbs
and interferes with other activi
ties. What is perhaps pleasant to
you may be just noise to your
neighbor or family, and vice
versa.
The best place to start in do
ing something about the problem
is as close to the source of noise
as possible. Although the best
noise barriers are those built into
the house and in the placement
of the house on the lot, furnishings
can help. Beginning with the floor,
carpeting can absorb noise from
the feet and help absorb other
noises such as music or conversa
tion. In rooms where carpeting is
not desirable, appliances that are
noisy can be placed on rubber or
cork mountings to help absorb
the noise.
Many of the panelboard glass or
other hard surface finishes make
walls reflectors of sound. To help
absorb some of the noise, draper
ies are in order. The softer and
thicker the fabric, the better the
sound absorption. For instance,
lined and interlined draperies
would do a better job than just a
single fabric thickness. Besides,
they would last longer and look
prettier. Also, the more wall space
covered with fabric, the better.
Upholstered furniture is another
good sound absorber. If the den
is the noise center, this would
suggest using more upholstered
furniture. The fabric is the thing
that absorbs much of the noise, so
avoid slick surfaces that reflect
noise.
Along with furnishings, if the
noise is particularly bad you may
consider using an accoustical fi
berboard ceiling tile along with
furnishings, this may absorb as
much as 70 percent of the noise
striking it. It is no good unless
used correctly, and the correct
place Is on the ceilings and or
perhaps ceilings of the room where
the noise originates, and in t h e
halls leading to the quiet areas of
the house. If you are in the pro
cess of planning your house, just
remember that closets, bathrooms,
and hallways are good sound bar
riers between quiet bedrooms and
active work and entertainment
areas of a house.
“Fashion Wise”
You are “fashion wise” for
Spring '63 if your eye looks for
pale colors and creamy whites, or
chooses a mauve pink, or enamel
yellow or a pure, clear blue.
A fashion dimension you go by
to be wise is fabric texture. Open
weaves, rough home spun looks,
and knobby novelties are all inno
vations for this spring.
You are in fashion if you auto
matically look for longer leaner

The word "shape’' should mean
an easy figure and curving fit.
The “fashion wise” person should
be aware of the “little boy” tail

“Fashion wise” is the right
description for you if being aware

Smallpox Vaccination
Protection against smallpox
among individuals in our State
and Nation has now reached a
“dangerous low level,” according
to health and medical authorities.
Health and medical authorities are
urging everyone to obtain immu
nization against smallpox. You are
a potential target for smallpox
unless you have been vaccinated
within the past five years.
A growing amount of internation
al travel threatens to introduce the
disease into the United States.
Recent outbreaks in other Western
nations emphasize the need for
every individual to maintain pro
tection against smallpox.
Smallpox, one of the easiest di
seases to prevent, is highly con
tagious. The virus can be spread
by direct contact,, by objects the
victim has handled, by coughs and
sneezes and even in dust. It has
been transmitted by letter. Th e
disease often results in severe
scarring of its victims and death
results in about one in five cases.
Another problem in connection
with smallpox arises from diffi
culty in early diagonsis. With so
many individuals in our country
lacking immunity, it would take
only one case to start an epidemic
of smallpox.
Smallpox usually begins with a
high temperature eight to 14 days
after exposure. This lasts about
four or five days before the char
acteristic skin rash appears in
pustules or "pox.”
The pustules appear both on the
skin and the mucous membranes
of the nose and the mouth. They
also appear in the intestines and
certain other internal organs, lead
ing to further complications.
Since vaccination makes small
pox one of the easiest of all di
seases to prevent, disfigurement
or death of one individual would
be tragically unnecessary.
Check with your doctor or your
local public health officials to see
whether ail family members are
protected against smallpox.
Newton High FTA
Members Attend
State Meeting
The annual state convention
of the Georgia Future Teachers
of America was held at the
Dinkier Plaza Hotel in Atlanta,
April 4-6. Members of the
Newton High F. T. A. who at
tended the Friday general as
sembly and business session
were: Delores Haney, Carol
Burch, Nancy Blankenship, Joe
Shiver, Keith Bailey, and Phil
Batchelor. Mrs. Dan Moore, i
club sponsor, accompanied the
group.
Mr. Lou (Eric) Erickson,
political cartoonist for the At
lanta Journal, spoke on the
subject, “Draw Your Own Con- j
elusions”, and used amusing

Don Ruff, President-Elect of
the Student GEA-FTA report
ed on his trip to the National
NEA-FTA Convention in Den
ver, Colorado last summer.
Candidates for state offices for
next year made their campaign
speeches.
Delores Haney served as off
icial voting delegate for the
group. Mrs. Moore served on
the official panel of judges for
scrapbooks.
The entire group was invited
to Stone Mountain Park for the
afternoon. Special arrange
ments had been made with the
Park Association for the Fu- ?
ture Teachers to ride the lift
to the top of Stone Mountain, t
even though it had not been
officially opened to the public. I
Thus, the local group had the
thrill of being among the very
first Newton County residents
to ride the famous lift.
