 SECURITY IS
 THEIR GOAL
 MT. Leach's Job Is to run the frame once at the entrance to the lakeside patch of GE. property where trailers stem in sameish rows from three utility houses; handle Trailer Towns daily mall; check on the use and rare abuse of such facilities as laundry rooms, rest rooms, auto washing lot, play ground and hydrants; mowers and 'sAsVCAC AVA sSSRAA6 SRAS sAaO PSAAAy small wards" around each home.
 No wispy gypsies are the citi- Zens of Trailer Town. Talk with them and you'll find they are about as natively nonnadlc as the Washington monument. Wh Q [ they want is security-homes, gar- dens, broadloom carpets, ice boxes, washing machines, waterfall bed- room suites, criss-cross marquisette curtains, and the simple respecta- bility they sense goes with such things.
 The border of zlnnias around the Calvin Helsels trailer, the gravel path and rubber doormat that meet It's never-bolted door; potted plants on windows sills; toys and tricycles and children and an occasional rangy hound that are played with and playing along "i0 miles an hour" roads; ice cards in curtained windows-these are the stuff cf Trailer Town.

Good Evening.
AUTUMN BRIDE

Merrily the brides trip along, With the good wishes of happy throng .. Brides in satin brides in tulle, Autumnly resplendent, calm and cool. T1aras and caps adorn many heads, shoulder length wells and three yard spreads. Old lace and chiffon are intertwined, Some of the gowns elegantly lined. The Autumn bride Is picture rare, She and her many attendants fair Who model the newest Autumn shades In a stunning procession of several bridesmaids. The coppery tints of Autumn flowers Suggest effects of woodland bowers Here comes the bridel give her enough room, And while you're at 1t, remember the groom!
