Cities Make Their Own Futures

When one turns the pages. of the expensive magazines
printed on slick paper he frequently sees amongst the adj
vertisements some artists conception of the 'city of tomor-
row"-a city of beautiful cleaning towers with overhead
highways and landing fields atop the buildings, and every
thing planned and executed to the last harmonious line and
detail.
No doubt we shall have cities like this some day-or per-
haps some century, would be a more accurate phrase. And 1T
does not harm to dream. and publish these artists concep-
tons for all to see.
But for the vast majority Of Americans who live in
towns and small cities. the road ahead to the city beauti-
full" Is going to be a long hard pull accomplished in piece
work lots and not by some overnight miracle. If 1t were
possible. But common-sense tells us that none OF these
magnificent cities of the Airlines advertisernents-of the
type designed by the ell-known illustrator Norman
Bell Geddes-are going to leap from the artists drawing
board into actualitY without long and slow years OF plan
ming. financing. zoning litigation and a thousand other
details.
Most of us have the sense that the future holds a period
greater than anything we have seen thus far. And in this
we almost certainly are right. We are just at the Threshold
of our chronological and productive potentialities.
But to change our cities, we must do it ourselves, pa
tiently, industriously, and one thing at a time. No fairy
godmother is going to wave a wand for us. Here in Pasca-
goula the job Is not going to be done for. us by any magic.
committee, agency, or industry. We ourselves must go 10
work on our own homes, yards, commercial buildings and
business sections. We have got to develop the type of think
ing which will make public tidiness an obligauon-for our
selves as we'll as our n~eighbors If our coming ordinances are
not strong enough now to back up the city authorities laying
down reasonable but necessary restrictions against cheap
jerry-built construction, then we must make them stronger.
And those ordinances already in existence we must try to
see revived and enforced. Public opinion is always the final
authority in these matters. The city officials can do little
so long as they are faced with public apathy or hostility on
this score; but when the weight of public opinion is behind
such a program, they are obligated to follow it with us. Before
the Pascagoula of today becomes the city of tomorrow" or
the city beautiful" there must be a lot of work done, build
ing by building; and a lot of this must be eventually made
obligatory under the jurisdiction of city authority.

Bout With Germans In Battle OF The
Bulge Busy But Short For Ernest RIOS

Pfc. Ernest Ros may not have
had q lengthy bout with the Ger
mans in Belgium but it was d
busy one until he was laid low
by a Nazi conclusion grenade
and thus ended his military ca
reer in Europe.
For it was a comparatively
short time since he left the Unit
ed States with the 45th Infantry
division OF the First Army in
September before he was taken
prisoner at dawn Dec. Is.
He had landed at lie Harve
and had been sent to Lfege for a
brief STAY before going to the
Belgium front where his division
was stationed about 500 yards
from the German front and with
in approximately 300 yards of
the Seigfried line
This was the first time that
the young soldier had entered
into action. AT first he saw some
patrol duty which was without
incident. but came the dav when
he was with a combat patrol unit
that was partially wiped out by
a surprise German attack as the
Americans entered a small town.
Only the bravery Of a member
of the patrol who kept the enemy
pinned down with his Browning
automatic rifle enabled any of
the remaining men to escape.
Opening Of Battle of the Bulge
4 few DAYS later. after sub
jscting the Americans to a heavy
barrage during the entire night,
the Germans came across in a
wave and overran the Americans
taking them prisoners. thus be
ginning the historic Battle Of the
Bulge.
Ros was knocked out BY a
German conclusion grenade early
in the attack and with an injured
left arm and side temporarily
paralyzed was easily picked UP.
He was sent to Bonn on the
Rhine for a few days and then
on to H~ammelburg, Germany,

where he worked as a lumber
jack in the forests around nearby
Burgsinn, until the proximity OF
the Yanks caused the Germans
to evacuate the camp.
That was Easter day and from
that time on until April IL, the
Germans and their prisoners
were constantly moving, lodging
the oncoming Yanks.

him at Hammelburg.
He says that while the Ger

was lack of food. Some Of this

THE OTHER NIGHT WE
HAPPENED to pick up the July
issue of the Atlantic Monthly,
and therein read q short stor by
James Still called Mrs. Razor"
It is a neat little piece about a
six-year-old daughter Of a poor
mountain family who played a
make-believe game that she was
married 10 a no-sccount charac-
ter named "Mr. Razor" and had
thee yeung-uns to whose sup
port Razor wouldn't contribute
nair a cent. That's about all there
is to the story. Like most short
stories one reads today, it sets
oui to convey a mood, to recap
ture a moment of life and mem
DRY. rather than to tell a story
with a beginning, middle, and
end.
However, what interested us
about the story was its realiza-
ton Of the utter reality that these
imaginary situations and eharac-
tiers can come to have in a ehilds
mind. We began to call to mind
some of the imaginary characters
we had known or heard about,
and it made an amusing eollec-
ton. There was "T. National
Gregory" and u. Appleby Nor
ton" once the intimate, imagin-
airy associates Of a child who has
since grown up and gone to war.
There was a little girl who had
an invisible child named Bar
ton, who stayed with her quite
a while-almost till he was old
enough to vote, as a matter of
fact. There was another child,
sensitive, introverted, lonely, who
had a host Of indefinable play
mates which he called his lob
blies.' They were not elves,
faeries. ~leprecauns, gremlins OF
any of the accepted sort Of lit
tie people. They were just lob
bIies. ! doubt If any Of his friends
in later life proved as satisfac-
tory to him as his Hobbies. There
was another little girl who was
likely to be any member of the
family when she woke up in the
morning. This would go on for
two or three days, then one morn
ing she would wake up somebody
else-brother, cousin, aunt, I'M
Gle. If one called her by the most
recent name she had been as
suming,@and the only name she
would answer to during these
perlods-she would look up in
glowering silence, and say moth

on.
