CITIES SWALLOW TOWNS
GU. S. Press Association)

y. 1893 61SSOCldIlOIJ
A creeping paralysis created by
haphazard planning and growing
traffic congestion is slowly blight
ing our nations communities, de-
clared Leon Chatelain, Jr., presi-
dent of the American Institute of
Architects, during ceremonies
marking the hundredth anniversary
of this respected professional So
ciety.
Two significant facts emerge
from Mr.. Chatelain's warning.
First, the architects are looking
forward, not backward in the cele-
bration of their centennial, and this
bodies we'll for the future of
America.
Second, the ALA president point
ed out that this community blight
is attacking smaller communities
as well as big cities. The plight of
the cities is more apparent, but
it's our smaller communities that
really need help. They suffer equal
ly from the deterioration that de-
stroys beauty and hurts local bust
ness, but often lack the financial
support and professional advice
available to the large centers.
The words "city" and suburb
are disappearing from our langu.
age, said Mr.. Chatelain. Instead
we're developing great urban belts
all the way from Boston to Vir-
GINA in the east; westward from
the industrial east to Chicago anc
eventually to Kansas city; up anc
down the west coast. In many
cases, overlapping communities are
solving housing, school, sewage anc
other problems through annexation
of smaller towns.
Annexation, the speaker warned
can be carried too far. 1t creates
more and more Capitalization. In.
stead, he proposed informal, volun.
tary federation. Adjacent loca
governments, he says, can work
together voluntarily, and informal
ly by setting up federation com
mittees to solve area-wide commu
nifty problems on a long-range
basis.
A second essential, which Mr.
Chatelain stressed, is concerted
public action. The smart business
man who knows that his future
depends upon his community will
find out about-and get onto
those "dull-sounding" boards-the
planning commission, the schoo
board, the board of coming. Public
committees must be formed t.

in attempting to restore the beach
to its former condition or to at
least stop the damage that was
started by the Bulldozing opera
ton. Of course the planting of
vegetation is an excellent method
of catching and holding sand-if
there is stable ground on which to
plant the shrubs where the sand
needs to be caught. Thought
should be given to the tried and
proven method of building ade-
quate brush fences in an unbroken
line as was done around 20 years
ago when the beach here was built
up.
"If funds are again made avail
able to this area, as they should
be, it is the responsibility of pub
lie officials to see that these funds
serve the best interest of the coun-
ty. 1t is the responsibility of the
people to make these needs known
-(D to rebuild the beach to its
previous protective position of pri-
vate property, and (2) that proven
practice and not unproven theory
be the method used to do this.
Expression of views on this matter
individually and, or collectively is
the most practical means to OBJ
tain just results.
"Here is something that needs
immediate action.

work on these problems before it's
too late. Most significantly, Mr..
Chatelain said that the 10000 MEM
bers of the Ala are glad to fur
nish professional advice and serve
on such committees.
1t is heartening to know that
such an important group of pro-
fessionals is thinking about the
future of the American community
and willing to do something
about it. 1t gives US good reason to
salute our nations architects on
their hundredth birthday.

Ign Dodgers when they were

end with his daffy charges.
juggled the lineup frequently,
in hope of coming up with a
winning combination.
After the Dodgers had been
in a batting slump for weeks,
he sent in a rookie who had
just joined the club.
The rookie struck out. The
next three times. he was hit by
pitched balls and trotted of
painfully to FIRST base.
After the game, Robinson
and his coaches were preparing
the lineup for the next game.

terial" from which the nervous
system manufactures" feeling
and thought and all the flights
Of fancy man is capable of.
An Exciting Story
It's an exciting story of re-
search in a little-noticed branch
of science, neurophysiology.
Investigators in Australia, Ger
many and the United States
had major parts. The crucial
experiments were done in New
York, by DrS. Harry Grundfest
and Dominic P. Purpura of the
Columbia University College of
Physicians and Surgeons.
To tell the story, it is neces-
sary to go back a bit. A few
years ago, it was widely thought
that mans brain worked some
thing like an electronic calcu-
lator. This idea was based on
the fact that human nerves
seemed to utilize the same kind
of electrical signal as one type
of calculator-the great digital
computers dubbed "electronic
brains"
1t turns out that human
nerve signals are of a quite
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-14

AN impulse in the dendrites of
the next nerve and thus carries
the signal to 1t.
The dendrite impulse is elee-
trical. And so is the newest
fiber signal. However, there are
great differences between them.
The dendrite signal dies away
rapidly and carries only a short
distance-just about far enough
to reach the main nerve fiber.
The main nerve fiber impulse,
on the other hand, is constantly
renewed as it travels along and
arrives at the other end of the
f1ber-which may be 8 feet long
as strong as when it started
out.
Moreover. the dendrite signal
AS also the chemical signal
across nerve junctions-is vari-
able; it can tell little" more, ="
much" The main nerve fiber
signal. though. always has the
same strength"
What is the Secret?
Now, that raises a fascinat-
ing question: If the main nerve
fiber signal always has the
same strength, how does It tell
little more" much? How
does it pass on the complicated
information it receives from
other parts of the nervous
system?
The answer is truly a marvel
Of nature. BY a frequency
code"-by changing the num-
Der of nerve-fiber impulses per
second.
Thus the brain and nervous
system of man are equipped
with a wonderfully subtle sys-
item of internal signaling -
lmuch more subtle than ever
found in any calculating ma
chine. But genuine progress
is being made in probing into
the working of mans seat Of
thought-and the seat of many
of his most troublesome and
bathing illnesses.

pulses of electricity that carry
only the message "yeS" or no"

Intricate Network
The billions of nerve cells
in the brain and nervous sys-
tenn have three essential ele-
ments. The nerve itself has two
parts: a group of short, brush
like fibers called dendrites, and
a long main fiber. The third
element is the junction or con-
nection between nerves, called
the synapse. Nerve signals go
from the main fiber of one
nerve to the synapse, then to
the dendrites and so on to
the main fiber of the next
nerve.
The nerve signal is chiefly
electrical. but not entirely so.
Specifically. the impulse across
the synapse is chemical. That
is, the arrival of a nerve sig
nal at the end of the nerve
fiber causes the discharge of
a chemical agent at the sy-
napse. The chemical travels
across the synapse and causes
