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.
