Public Invents New Uses for Magnetic Tapes New York - (UPI) - A thin ribbon ol tough plastic coated with iron oxide particles is causing a gradual but loud revolution in the nation's cul tural, educational and family life. The ribbon is magnetic sound recording tape. Use o tape recorders is now becoming so widespread that the public is inventing new and ingenious ways of using tape that were never dreamed of by the original developers. Dr. W. W. Wetzel, an ex ecutive of the Minnesota Min ing and Manufacturing com pany, which produces most of the world s magnetic re cording tape, estimates there now are more than 3 million tape recorders in use in the United States. "We producers of sound are constantly amazed at the new and unusual uses that are re ported to us daily for our products," Wetzel said. "It's not necessary for us to keep working out suggestions about how sound tape can help to solve various problems, W can't compile these uses as fast as we receive reports on how people make effective use of the tape to serve their particular needs." Among the scores of exam ples of how sound tape- is used, Wetzel listed these: -Dentists are using sound tape as an audio analgesia on patients. The pain-killing de vice features music played over a stereo tape recorder The patient holds two knobs on his lap, and adjusts the volume. One knob controls the volume of the music and the other controls the sound of a waterfall that is turned on It the patient begins to feel pain. . -At Nashua, Iowa, the Rev. Glenn L. Ullerback gives each couple married at his Little Brown Church in the Vale a tape recording of the com plete marriage ceremony. Be ing able to play back the wed ding , is believed to help in weathering marital storms. Chickens Like Music -Tape recordings of rock V roll piped into a chicken farm in Alabama art said to make the chickens lay more eggs. .-Cows give more milk at a dairy farm in South Caro lina when they hear soft , dance music, according to their owner, and a nursery man in Mississippi maintains that his flowers grow better to the tune of taped music. -Tape recorders used In the classroom help facilitate study of foreign languages, permit teachers to provide individ ualized instructions to vari ous groups learning at differ ent rates of speed, or through pre-recorded lectures by ex perts to give specialized in struction that is not normally within the ability of the teach er. Probably one of the newest uses for tape is "sleep learn ing," which involves using a pillow speaker attached to a clock-controlled tape record er. The speaker's volume Is just loud enough to reach only the ear of the sleep learner and the sleep tape is repeated over and over dur ing the night. There is an interesting dis cussion of this process in "Learn While You Sleep," a recent book by David Curtis. Subconscious Functions In this book, Curtis says "The subconscious functions while we sleep and 11 has been proven that it can be directed into channels of our choice." He tells how sleep-learning techniques have improved memory, trained children, speeded up learning, taught languages with correct pro nunciation, raised school marks, increased music ap preciation, eliminated mental blocks, upped capacities of salespeople, eliminated night mares and insomnia, and aid ed people to become relaxed and adopt positive attitudes. Curtis claims that at least 8,000 college students supple ment their daytime work with sleep-study.
