Trees Muffle Noises
Hospital authorities, disturbed by
the rotir of trains along a track
that skirted within 100 yards of one
side ot their hospital, decided to
do something about it. They plant
. ed a row of 12 big sugar maples
along the boundary. Almost over
night the noise of the trains was
muffled by the trees abd lessened
inside the hospital.
All over the country, Don Cant
well of the Bartlett Tree Experts,
reports trees are finding increasing
use as noise mufflers.
Designers of churches and
schools have found that trees prop
erly placed soften traffic noises.
When a new 4-lane parkway that
coursed through the edges of a
dozen residential areas was opened
adjacent residents complained bit
terly of the traffic din. Rather than
wait until they "got used to it,"
some planted a screen of hemlocks.
ThOi noises diminished perceptibly
as the trees grew in size. The roar
eventually faded to a distant hum.
Soon the muffle-the-noise tree
planting idea caught on all along
the stretch of roadway.
Highway planners have discov
ered that parkways lined with trees,
big and small, as well as shrub
bery not only add scenic beauty but
mute the roar of traffic heard by
the autoists themselves. Noise
creates tensions and tensions lead
to accidents.
Suburban home owners-—and
their number is multiplying con
stantly—are finding, too, that
tree or two between roadway and
house can reduce street noises. One
way to combat the stepped-up
noisome traffic of the times is to
plant more trees. It's not the nee
dles or leaves which act as muff
lers, but the myriad twigs, count
less branches and screening limbs.
Then, too, the leaves and needles
of trees breathe in the carbon di
oxide of the traffic fumes and by
that wonderful process photosyn
thesis exchange it for life-giving
oxygen.

EMERGENCY STOP
GRAND ISLAND. Neb. — (/P) —
Truck driver Riley Lee Barton,
Temple, Texas, thought it was
strange when he saw a pair of dual
tires complete with wheel rolling
past the cab. He pulled up short
and took a look. The tires were off
his trailer.
