NEA Staff Correspondent
WESTPORT, Conn. (NEA)
When Arthur Diver retired in
1939, he found himself face to
face with a problem. He and his
Wife were rattling around in a 12
room house set on 316 acres of
pretty Connecticut soil. His
daughter was married, his son in
the army.
So he bought a trailer.
The idea was first suggested by
Mrs. Diver, but he didn't think
too much of it.
"I always thought a trailer was
just a box on wheels and that only
gypsies lived in them," he says,
looking over his spectacles with
his twinkling eyes. "But Mrs.
Diver, she said, 'Well, it can't do
any harm to look at them.' We
bought one, arid I've never
gretted it; wish I'd a-done it ten
years sooner.
Retire to Trailers
The Divers are representative of
a trend among retired people to
live in trailers or "mobile
homes," as some of them prefer
to say. According to the Trailer
Coach Manufacturers Assn. which
keeps track of such things, retired
persons are the third largest mar
ket for trailers.
Actually, more than 15 per cent
of all trailers are occupied by the
pensioned set. The two bigger
classes of purchasers, incidentally,
are mobile workers and temporary
home-seekers.
For a retired couple, a trailer
offers certain advantages. The in!
tial expense is low, upkeep and
; operating expenses are low, they
provide mobility and the house
iwork is simple.
Helps Boosts Sales
I These factors' have helped boost
trailer sales 400 per cent since
1937. In that year, $4,500,000
worth of trailers were sold; in
1950, the figure was $22,500,000,
With people retiring earlier in
life, because of pension plans, the
trailer manufacturers expect the
trend to continue. A contributing
factor is the spread of trailer
parks, where trailerites can live
permanently. Some of them, such
i as a big one in Bradenton, Fla., ac-
commodate as many as 2500 trail
ers. I The Divers' trailer, after log-

ground.
"The rental here is less than $20
a month," he says, "and that in
cludes all utilities. Everybody has
a plot of about 30 to 50 feet. There
are 110 families here, about 20 of
them retired people. The others
are nurses, accountants, real es
tate men, sales executives and the
like. We re all very congenial.'
Some residents had fixed their
"mobile homes" into miniature
estates. There were picket fences
and rose-covered trellises, patios
with big awnings covering them,
television aerials sprouting from
the roofs, and that absolute sign
of permanence the milk box
outside every front door.

Wilson Appeal
Sent to Langlie
PORTLAND (VP) An at
torney for the condemned Wil

this week for Gov. Arthur Lang
lie of Washington to commute
their sentences to life imprison
ment.
Attorney Irvin Goodman said
in a letter to the governor that
he now has evidence casting
doubt on the authenticity of a
fingerprint that played an im
portant part in the trial of Utah
and Turman Wilson for the slay
ing of Jo Ann Dewey, 18, last
year. The print was identified as
Utah's.
Goodman said Stanley MacDon

told him that he could not iden
tify the print. Goodman asked the,

who is head of the criminal iden
tification bureau for Multnomah

"Lots of folks buy them without
ever intending to pull them," he
says. "They buy them, take the
wheels off and then sell the tires
back."
To the argument that they're
cramped, Diver points to his
Thanksgiving dinner. He spent
the holiday with his son, who has
a trailer in Naugatuck. There
were 14 people in the trailer s
dining room, with plenty of room
for the turkey.
The only thing we lack," he
says, with a smile, "is an attic and
cellar for storing things. Butl
that s a good thing. We keep only
what we really need.
She Buys China
"When we bought our first
trailer. Mrs. Diver had three sets
of china the everyday, the Sun
day and the best set. She decided
to keep six settings of each. She
put it all in a basket. I didn't say
nothing, but I was chuckling to
myself. She was over in the
trailer with that basket a few
minutes, trying to put the things
away. Then she came back. She
wound up keeping a serving for
four of just one set.
Driving a trailer was no prob.
lem, after he got used to it.
"The first day, I sweat blood,"
he remembers. "I worried some
thing awful. I'd turn my head
around every 10 seconds to see
that the trailer was still there.
But I learned there are only four
things you have to remember.
"A trailer is eight feet wide,
a car only five. You have to allow
for that extra width when you're
passing. Then you have to learn
to use the trailer brakes they're
mounted on the steering wheel
and you operate them with one
finger.
"You have to learn to make a
bigger sweep for a right turn.
And lastly, you've got to be awful
careful driving through a city."

Labor Disputes
Said Settled
WASHINGTON (fl1) Labor
disputes at aluminum plants of
the Reynolds Metal Co. at both
Troutdale, Ore., and Phoenix,
Ariz., have been settled by the
federal mediation service.
Both disputes originated over
disagreements between union
stewards and management fore
men. The union is the CIO Steel
Workers.
The disputing parties decided at
the government sponsored talks on
a basis for settling the disputes,
but did not announce the terms.
The mediation service said
workers will return to work at
both plants in the near future.
The trouble at Troutdale was
said to have involved worker
abandonment of electrically heat
ed melting equipment (pot linos)
which will take some time to put
back into operation.
About 1600 workers were in
volved in the Phoenix stoppage
but government officials said they
did not know the number involved
at Troutdale.
