R.AOTDOWK SI Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Wtkim Nature's Silant Forces Make Change! in World A galaxy of agencies, each powerful in its own way, is constantly at work in nature's great outdoors. These forces, mostly silent, move in mys terious ways but always in a definite direction. Mostly they are unnolcied and unsuspected by most of us. Even if we walk frequent ly the forest trails, we seldom notice the workings of the "material reduction" that goes on constantly. A wind comes one night, fresher than most, and with unseen force pushes against the high-flung crown of a tall tree. With all the strength of its embedded roots the tree re sists. Perhaps some small ani mal, some time previously has excavated a burrow by the roots; water from the rains runs in, washing away a quantity of soil, just enough perhaps, to present a weak ness. The wind-push against the crown and trunk is enough; the tree topples to the forest floor. Slowly It dies. The work of destruction has begun. ' More rains saturate the bark. Rot occurs. Where the body of the tree rests against ; the earth termites make con-: tact with the wood. They work their way into the fi bers. Various other insects drill holes, nibble, chew and excavate. A fungus thread finds loge- ment beneath a piece of loos ened bark. It grows, ex pands, spreads out in an ever widening area. Its feeble, soft, unfeeling fingers probe the tissue of the wood, wriggle down into the pores, soften the wood and make it ready for other agencies. And all these other forces are wait ing; all are ready when the time is right. Enters now, too, softly and silently, the agency of decay. None of the violence and fury of a hurricane; none of the beat of falling rain not even as exciting as the nibbling of an Insect or the twisting and boring of a worm; this agency of decay is almost gentle, but it is relentless. A silent force, but powerful nonetheless.

WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York - UPB - A boom is in the making in apartment buildim; with 19SQ likely to I V if. set a new 0t-fmm. ff reemyi high. Arehiicciur a I Forum, in g aiine of the building industry, esti mates that a record 2 7 0, 330 apart ment units will be built in 1960. This compares with 231,500 In 1959, and the pre vious record set in 1S27 of 257,000. The Forum find several reasons underlying rebirth of the apartment building. Ideal Population Of these reasons, the maga zine says, two stand out: I) The composition of the popu iation is ideaiiy designed for an apartment boom; and 2) The groups which are tradi- onally inclined to rent will have more money than they ever had before. Groups seen as the rental type are those aged 20 to 24 and those 55 and over which are expected to increase an aggregate of 13 million in the next decade, adding 7 million new households to the present 52 million. The 25-28 age group, also ncluding many potential renters, is expected to show a big growth too. There is one outstanding difficulty in Ihe apartment problem of the current dec ade, and that is the tendency being reduced. First the frail leaves decomposed; then the smaller stems and twigs, final ly the solid heartwood itself, reduced now to a soft spongy material that, withm but a short time now. will be re duced still further. It's an involved and compll eated process, whereby a complex set of circumstances combine to bring about the reduction of the tree - or a lesser plant - from a living object of utility, food or beauty to a residue on which other plants may feed and continue their own life cycles.

RIVERSIDE Tools Said Ample To End Tuberculosis Portland - 1CTI1 - The United States has the tools to com pletely erase tuberculosis from the country but they are being poorly used, Dr. Joseph L, , Robinson of Los Angeles said Tuesday, Speaking before the Oregon Tuberculosis and Health Asso ciation, Dr. Robinson said a recent public health survey showed thousands of persons with active TB, but pot under treatment. Some 45 new cases per 100,000 population are ap pearing in the U S. daily, Dr. Robinson said. He added that the disease could be stamped out If several gaps in the anti TB program were closed, . He said one of the most im portant of these was the full utrtaation of the TB skin test and getting people to accept it. He also recommended a thorough examination in the homes of prospective mothers lo prevent contamination of the young. Venezuela buys more from (he United States than any otner tiatin-American eoun- ry. to build luxury Sype apart ments. High consjruetiiMs costs, high land prices, high issuaey, and high taxes are eeu as th deterrents to low-cost apart mmt outruction. Because f them, Guilders have concentrated on luxury city auarmnts or suburban apartments to compete with tract housing, it is noted. Despise higher incomes making for easier payment of rent, the Forum questions if the groups mentioned will have enough lo afford tile type of housing that is likely lo be built. The Forum regards the cost of mortgage money as a pivot al lactor in apartment con struction. And, it notes, the problem of borrowing enough money is even knottier. In the face of an Impreg nable cost barrier, the Forum concludes, it is difficult to see how the coming apart ment boom can do much to relieve the crilical shortage of middle-income urban hous ing. It points out that many economists feci that tmilders probably will not be able to meet the potential demand for middle income renial housing in ihe sixties without federal aid in some more workable form than in present pro grams. It is not difficult to build reutai accommodations for high-income families that can afford the best.
