'High Density' Approach Eyed Washington - IUPII - The Na tional Association of Home Builders, which for years has complained about the rising cost of land, is trying to do something about it. In fact, it hopes to apply the brakes to land prices by winning public acceptance for a new approach to houying. "High density" is the best term for that ap proach so far devised. While it may remind some people of tenements and slums, it is descriptive of what the association has in mind. The builders hope to beat the problem of land costs by putting more people w;m,.tr:r,'r.n Phone 772-4S34 dab S. M8888 ' Je V ToA MATCHING fZtk&Zxti V.

Enormous Obstacle Two enormous obstacles must be surmounted to make high density design more than a here-and-there experi ment: -People must be persuaded that it's a better way to live. It's hard to imagine that many American families can be talked out of their pref erence for a house with front and back yarr'.. -Local zoning and building authorities will have to be induced to allow high den sity construction. The builders, and housing specialists elsewhere who are interested in getting more use out of land, are talking about such things as: -Clustering. This means grouping hiuses more closely together. -Common areas. The land given up by each house in a cluster arrangement may be pooled in recreational or park area. Some builders are talking about English type village greens. Mixed land use. Instead of only one-family houses, a project might also contain apartment buildings several stories high and a string of town (row) houses. -Atrium or patio houses. Semi-detached houses built around and fronting on an interior patio. Robert C. Ledermann, the association's director of com munity facilities and urban renewal department, has drawn up the following table to contrast conventional and cluster use of land: Conventional clutter Acre In streets 24 Linear ft. of street . 16.033 Per cent of site in streets 19 Acres In bide, sites ... 1 Dwelling units 604 22,30(1 29 590 0 Acres of usable open space 51 The builders hope to con serve not only land, but also utility lines and pipes and paving. According to Wil liam F. Fitzgerald of the as sociation's staff, builders in many communities are sad deled with terrific costs be cause of regulations which require excessively large lots and wide streets. The extra costs, of course, are reflected in the price of the house. MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON To Curb Rising Costs of Land Fitzgerald said that some suburban communities de liberately make development of new subdivision- expen sive to keep down the influx of population and the need for new schools. Wrre this is true, it is hard to see why the authorities would be will ing to allow high density land use. Will Reduco Cost Also open to question is the proposition that housing more people on less land will reduce the land cost per family. The price of a piece of land is heavily influenced by the income to be derived from its use. Change a zoning ordinance from single-family houses to high rise apart Rythm Study Adds Fourth 'R' To Modern School Curriculum You can help your child im prove his ability to cope with the three R's by encouraging him to study a fourth R -rhythm. Educators and psychologists report that musical training ments and watch the price of the land soar. This is not to say that the association's hopes of pro moting more intensive use o residential land are wholly unrealistic Not everybody is willing to fight 40 or 50 minutes of rush hour traffic for the sake of having two yards and his own trees. As the suburbs extend further further from the central city, the advantages of in-town living increase. In Washington, for exam ple, the fashionable George town section consists almost entirely of row houses. Many are small and narrow. Most have a small backyard or patio barely big enough to helps many children succeed in other school work. In a re cent controlled study of seven and eight-year-olds in three New Jersey school districts, parents and teachers re ported marked Improvement play catch in but adequate for cooking over charcoal or sunning in a deck chair. Similar housing ' being built or refurbished in other sections of the city. The de mand evidently is strong. Prices have shot up on Capi tol Hill, in Foggy Bottom (near the stale department) and around Dupont Circle. The association has pro duced a lively 17-minute technicolor, 16-mm. sound film titled "Community Growth - Crisis and Chal lenge." It may be borrowed by interested groups by writing to William F. Fitz gerald, National Association of Home Builders, 162S L St., NW. Washington, D. C. in study habits, cooperation, behavior and overall attitude by most youngsters after ten weeks of instruction on the accordion. Dr. James L. Mursell, Col umbia . university educator and psychologist reports, "Mu sic can greatly help In the emotional stresses experienc ed by most children, espec ially during the formative and adolescent years." Major R.aion A major reason for the great upsurge in young music-making-more than 10,000,000 American kids play inslru-ments-is the Increasing pop ularity of easy-to-play Instru ments such as the accordion, guitar and ukulele. They all share several ad vantages - portability, versa tility, relative inexpensiveness and ability to produce both melody and chords. All are easy to learn. The most versatile of these instruments Is the accordion. One of the easiest Instruments to learn, there's a continuing challenge as the child's skill increases. For playing old favorites to jazz and classics, the accordion is a particularly good begin ning instrument. It teaches the fundamentals of music - mel ody, harmony, rhythm and tonal color-all at once. Modern teaching methods are designed to entertain as well as instruct, and now ac cordion students are taught simple tunes at the first les son, rather than boring scales and exercises. In recognizing the accordi on's natural appeal to child ren, educators point out an other plus factor: Children like to be admired, to take a lead and to get on well with their companions. Playing the accordion satisfies these nor mal and natural desires con structively and enjoyably.
