SsogseS about trailer towns"
have aesa po2piag up for years,
hat sAe rarm Security Admins

'ess story al them all MS con-
sneesea with RatiNnal defense.
Let's 10 hack so the days Of the

Temporary shelter" for the mi-
grant workers flowing back and
forth across the land, The trail
or offered a quick solution and,
in a comparatively small way,
it was put 70 use.
The problem had hardly been
gotten in hand when along came
national defense. Boom towns
appeared overnight. There was
no chance to provide adequate
housing, Congress, in despera-
ton, appropriated $500, 000, 600
for defense housing. Some OF the
problems could be solved by So
called "low cost housing prof.
ects", developed over q period OF
months.
But one problem was a stump
er-the 'stop-gap housing, or
temporary shelter-which would
take care of rapid influx of
workers in communities totally
unprepared to house even a 10
per cent increase in population
much less the two, three or four
hundred per cent increase that
did result in some communities.
All Output Absorbed
The government turned to the
only agency that had had any
experience in this problem and
FSA went all out for mobile
housing.
This mobile housing" has re-
suited in a phase of living which
may hang on for many years. In
an even dozen defense areas, FSA
now has 3,194 trailers, housing
from two to five persons, at
rentals of from So to $3.50 a week.
Not only is the total output of the
trailer industry completely alb
sorbed now, but, according to es-
Inmates here, the output for the
| next six months is wholly con-
tracted.
AT the moment, there are
camps of 200 or more trailers al
Baltimore; Erie, Pa; Ravenna
Ohio; Burlington, Iowa; Kings
bury-LaPorte, Ind; Jacksonville
and Wilmington, N. c.; Nashville
Tenn, and San Diego; and small
err camps at Paso Robes and
Benicia. Calf, and Bethlehem,
Pa.
Built in units around service
buildings, these trailer camps
closely resemble the trailer towns
that follow the seasonal migra-
tons along the two coasts. There
is, however, one important diff
ference. National defense trailers
do not have to be always on the
go. They might settle down in a
community for year or so until
their wheels are hub deep in the
soil. !, ~
Have To Be Costly
This is vital difference and
behind it lies the story of why the
trailer industry, booming five or
six years ago, was caught short
when the government went into
the trailer market. Safe trailers
cost money-big money. If they
are going to be yanked all over
