The program included everything fromm foot-high shrubs to 40-foot trees. Today, more than 40 mile of streets throughout the city of over 27,U(J0 persons are lined with trees, The fight to stop the wind and provide shade for the residents soon developed into a two-fold struggle. The other effort was the planting of shelter belts around the city to lift the main force of the prevailing winds. The first shelter, belt was plant ed along the west side of the town, and consisted of five rows of trees. An overcrown wind uieaK, me nve-row belts were made up of shrubs on the wind ward side, with progressively taller trees in each of the four other rows This forced the wind over the shelter belts and the street and lawn trees held it there until the wind was safely over the city. Tests have shown that the effect has been a reduction in wind ve locity of several miles per hour throughout the sheltered city unce the wind and sand had been controlled, the new families planted, watered, fertilized and trimmed their lawns with the care given a child plucked away irom the burning desert wastes loday the transformation has been completed. Richland has been turned into a veritablp 'oasis" nearly as miraculous as the product its citizens have Dro duced in the nereby Hanford ato mlc energy plant. (Next week: "Atomic Future"; o .
