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.

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.

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

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.
