Thursday, July 16, 1959 A Trailer Parks Claimed Problem To Communities New York - Three million Americans today call a trailer park their home. And shipments last year from manufacturers of home trailers, who, produced 103, 000 units, came close to being 10 per cent of all private U.S. housing starts, reports the professional building maga zine Architectural Forum. But although trailers have improved greatly in efficiency and comfort, says Forum, most of the nation's 13,000 odd trailer parks "look as mean and makeshift as they did in the early postwar era." Problem To Communities The majority, built on a shoestring and run as a "mom and pop" business, are laid out on barrackslike grids, are treeless, devoid of open space, overcrowded, cluttered with wire and TV antennas, and indifferently maintained. America's dismal trailer parks - only about half of which could even be called adequate - present a growing problem to communities which now can neither wish them away or ignore them. "The intelligent, democratic policy," says Forum, "may be neither to exclude nor to ignore the trailer park but to zone' and regulate it con scientiously so that , it may be a more pleasing part of the community, as some parks al ready are." Number Increased Since 1950 the number of trailers in the U.S. has risen from an estimated 500,000 to about 1.2 million last year. Most of these mobile homes rate as houses in nearly every sense of the word, except that they are not eligible for mortgage financing. Today a house trailers aver age 50 feet in length and 10 feet in width (the maximum allowed by state highway laws), have at least three rooms and bath, cost between $3,500 and $13,000 and are generaly fully furnished and equipped. Of the three million people who live in trailer parks, says Forum, two-thirds are skilled workers, professionals or are retired. Although the pur chase of a trailer seems to indicate a tendency to rove, ,the average mobile home own er stays in one park for at least two years.

Correspondence To Help Healing Honolulu-(UPD-A local busi nessman has .started a corre spondence with kings and presidents and just about every other important person in the world in an effort to help victims of Hansen's dis ease at Kalaupapa Hospital on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai. Arthur C. Marks began his project last March and says he won't stop "until I reach everyone-even if it takes a lifetime." The Honolulu businessman said he thinks that "universal love" heals and he asks every one he writes to send stamps and letters to the lepers on Molokai. "Stamp collecting will pro vide hours of entertainment for those poor people," said Marks. "They forget their problems, and they know they are loved." Replies to his letters are starting to "pour in," accord ing to Marks. He said he is already making plans to divert any surplus stamps to other institutions where "healing love is needed." The Evangelican-Lutheran Church is the official church of Denmark, under that na tion's constitution.
