More City Folks
Moving To Country

City people are moving to the
country in Ohio, says A. r. Man
gus, of the Ohio State University's
department Of agricultural eco
nomics and rural sociaology.
They are settling among farm
ers and in small villages beyond
the suburbs. They are taking up
residence in housing that ranges
from roadside Shacks and trailer
camps to large country estates
with many acres attached.
For generations, rural people
have migrated to Ohio'S cities to
swell their population numbers.
Now this movement to urban
areas is counterbalanced. Man
gus says the 1850 census of popu-
lation confirms his observations.
Census statistics revetl two op-
poSite trends. Rural areas which
are farthest away from large cities
are losing their people OF urban
places.
Rural areas within easy COM
muting distance of large cities are
receiving migration of urban
ties.
New migrants and new patterns
of living beyond the suburbs are
creating new kinds of commune
ties. These may be called rurban
They are a mixture of rural and
urban ways of living.

tativeS are shown inspecting
some of the 10000 feet of 10
inch pipe included in part of
the shipment which went to Co.
lumbuS.
In its worldwide search for
scarce natural gas pipeline ma
terials the Ohio Fuel Gas Co. has
obtained 425 tons of pipe from a
mill near Dusseldorf, Germany,
P. S. Howerth, company manager
here, said today.
There are 21,000 feet of 1O%
inch seamless pipe in the ship
ment, which has been divided
among four of the Ohio Fuels dis
tribution districts. Ten thousand
feet has gone to Columbus. The
Springfield and Mansfield districts
each got 5000 feet. Five thou
sand feet went to Ohio FUELS To-
ledo district.
An additional 10000 feet of the
same pipe went to Manufacturers
Light and Heat Co., another Co
lumbia Gas System subsidiary
which has its headquarters in
Pittsburgh, major American
steel center.
Ohio Fuel has also placed large
orders for pipe manufactured on
the West Coast, in the San Fran
cisco area. Delivery of this pipe
is scheduled during the balance
of this year with some deliveries
running into 1852.
Both the foreign and West
Coast pipe purchases are in addi-
ton to orders for thousands of
tons of pipe placed with Ohio
FUELS normal sources of pipe
supply at eastern domestic mills,
! delivery of much of which has
been and will be delayed because
of the mobilization program and
general shortage of steel pipe.
Ohio Fuel will probably not be
able to get all the pipe needed tc
complete a $20,500,O00 construc
ton program planned this year
Howerth said, but the company is
continuing the search for pipe.
