D. Noise

     A special airport-sound study committee, set up at the local airfield, issued its report, Marshall Peat, airport manager, reported today.
     The study was set up to determine whether there would be any problems if the undeveloped land to the northeast of the field were developed for use as a housing project.
     The report stated that noise and the possibility of accidents make this area unfit for housing.
     "That should kill the housing proposal of Mitchell & Co.," Peat said. More than 250 acres are involved. Half the residents of the area said they intend to move if they can find housing. (Story.)

E. New Age

     "A new age of pot is dawning," said Albert Goldman in his talk to the Rotary Club this afternoon.
     Goldman, a writer, said marijuana will replace liquor and tobacco as the new middle-class social habit. Already, he said, it is used by almost all age and social groups. Because it has no known ill effects, Goldman said, it is safer than the habit-forming alcohol and cigarettes. (Story.)

F. Adoption

G. Tour

     During his travels, he dropped off in Iceland, the world's largest island. He toured the interior, which is covered with an enormous sheet of ice. He said the island was discovered by Eric the Red almost 1,000 years ago. (Part of story.)
