resistance ha heen noted on the
nart of prospective tenants to the
increase.
Many low-cost housing units
have hoen constructed and numer
ous others are Just receiving ap
proval or are on the boards for
construction In the Immediate fu
ture. Some are of the type which
require no down payment and
monthly payments average
i around $30. It Is this type of hous
ing thai many of the would-be
renters are turning to Invest their
money rather than pay high
rents.
This Is borne out hy the greatly
Increased number of apartments
listed for rent, with no apparent
rush to snap them up. This is In
marked contrast with only a short
time ago when rentals of any
kind were difficult to find.
In some cases, pre control leases
are operatinj to prevent rent
hikes. However, the use of the
lease between landlord and ten
ant has never been widespread

United States Weather Bureau Has
7,000 Volunteer Aides; More Apply
' By ROWLAND EVANS JR.
WASHINGTON. How would you like to establish the climate
of the U. S. A.T About 7,000 citizens collectively are doing Just that,
every day, every season. They are the Weather Bureau's voluntary
weather observers. Twice a day they record the sky condition, the
temperature, the wind direction, the pressure and the rain and
snowfall In their area on special instruments loaned them by the
Weather Bureau. Once a month they send their data to section
centers in 42 states, which in turn forward the record to Weather
Bureau processing centers. i

time piecing together the chang

Job Proves Attractlvt
The amateurs themselves love
the Job, even if it does demand
a constant vigil on their instru
ments and. during periods of
storm and flood, answering tele
phone queries from their neigh
bors, sometimes as many as 50 a
day. The Weather Bureau says
many more citizens apply for the
volunteer Job than can be accom
modated. And some old-time ob
servers have been at it for more
than 55 years. Many pass their
duties on to their sons.
"We couldn't afford to put
them on a paying basis. We lend
them the instruments and a small
shelter to put them in. When the
instruments wear out, we replace
them. A big reason for the low
'in this community. Because It Is
a university town, landlords have
never had any trouble renting
their property and, In general,
avoided tying themselves up for
long periods of time. It Is possible
that the lease may become more
popular in the near future.
