DEAUVILLE DECIDES TO GET SOME SLEEP
Deauville, seaside resort where “high rollers’* of the world gather to gamble and gambol, wants to go to sleep. There must be no noise at night says Mayor Eugene Colas, in an ordinance the police may have a hard time enforcing. Even dogs must not be heard barking. Owners are responsible for keeping them quiet, or at least muffling the sound. “Night/* according to the ordinance, begins at 10 p.m. and last until 7 a.m., which coincides with the activities of the magnificent casino with its opera, ballroom and gambling rooms, where fortunes change hands each night during the hectic summer season. Little villages in the South o: France have tried the silence rule with success, but this is the first time a, town that is reputed to be one of the liveliest places afloat has ruled that even the “curfew must not tin" tonight.’* Forbidden noise includes everything from a cat’s yowl to a radio.
