There is still another side
direct income for farmers. Dur
ing 1857 the stamp industry
purchased from Maryland farm
ers S350,000 worth of primary
materials that go into the manu-
facture of merchandise for
stamp redemption.
No one can contemplate these
facts and fail to realize that both
personally and economically the
trading stamp industry is a
meaningful and welcome force
in the life of our state.

What Is The Largest
Farm Group In Maryland?
20, 900 Farm Families That Regularly Save
Trading Stamps Are The Biggest
EARN Group" In Maryland.

Americas farm families are ira
ditionally thrifty. The same pat
tern of thrift is found in Mary
land. 1t is onlynatural therefore,
that the response of Maryland
farm families to one of the old
est forms of thrift-the trading
stamp-is SO noticeable.
Today over %, 900 farm
families save them. You might
almost say that these savers con-
stitute the largest single farm
group in the state.
During 1857 alone, thousands
of dollars worth of trading stamp
merchandise went into farm
households in the state, and

Some Plain Words
About City Decay

and tentative official action.
and massively inadequate at
tention on the part Of think
ers in the national govern
ment. We are laundering.
in spite Of the so : named
workable programs"
For 10 years. we have been
dealing with this problem on
a national basis, yet where Is
the progress, or even the hope
of progress; where is even
the beginning Of the first
step forward that is involved
in the end Of the two steps
backward?
Decay Continues
1t is perfectly obvious to
the persons who see this proc
ess of decay at work that
slums are being built at q
quickening pace, that the
progress continues without
any really effective program
to hold it back, and that.
wallowing and stumbling. the
big American cities-in spite
of the cataract Of words,
words, words to the contrary
are mired down in q morass
Of inaction and progressively
worsening urban dismay.
This is not to say that there
are no plans, only that the
plans are working so slowly
and ineffectively that, at the
present rate, cities will be
lost as decent places to live
before they can be reclaimed.
Is the flight to the suburbs
an accident? Or does it re-
suit from the unconfeSsed
fact that blight is growing
in cities because it is not be-
ing countered adequately?
The big reason why parts
of cities are being lost as
good places to live in is that
the profit motive Is given
more encouragement in the
suburbs.
Would you be surprised to
know that few. if any, build
ers have applied for permits
to build high-rise apartments
in the District since our new
coming regulations went into
effect, whereas apartment
building in the suburbs has
increased by leaps and
bounds2
Cities are most logical as
sites for high-riSe apart
ments, yet Washington has
apparently made it uneco-
nomic for such construction
to go ahead here. Why? In
the interests of what? Ger
tainly not to forstall replace
ment of outmoded, rundown
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-03

Remember the shortage Of
apartments after the last
war? Do you know how that
problem was largely solved?
Congress passed a housing
act that contained a power
full stimulant for apartment
construction. It was called
Section 608. What it did was
to make easy and profitable
the construction Of tens Of
thousands of apartments at
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-03

COURAGE COMES in diff
~ ferent forms. This story.
will tell about one form, with
the profit motive as the
healthy inspiration. To take
a slum and clean it up, re-
vive it, and make it pay divi-
dends for everyone is some
thing that few investors have
had the imagination to I'M
dertake, and few lenders have
had the courage to finance.
This is the story OF how
George Basiliko bought a lot
of rundown properties and is
fixing them UP. 1t is the
story, also, Of how one fl
nancing institution-the Per-
petual Building Association
is backing the project.
But this article will also
be the excuse for some we'll
meant predatory plain words,
by a humble observer, on the
hazardous gallop of rot and
blight at the heart of Amer
lean cities, and for a few
equally well-meant plain
words on the hopelessly in
adequate steps taken so far
to slow down this runaway
process.
To anyone who has watched
Washington decay. along with
dozens of. other cities
throughout the country, it
is quite evident that the ORR
gins of the process are COM
pick. About as far as any
one of us ever gets in the way
Of analysis is to repeat the
old refrain, People make
slums," and let it go at that.
But there's hardly anyone
who knows anything about
this matter who would not
concede that the main reason
for the decay, the blight, the
almost unbelievable modern
dissolution attacking the
heart of cities is Just plain
inefficiency on the part OF
American society, and this
means government.
A New Problem
Ridiculous as it may seem
in the most advanced Nation
on earth, we are in the i'm
possibly uncomfortable posi-
ton of being unable to cope
with this problem Of keeping
our cities clean, safe, sani-
tary, decent to live in, and
pleasant to look upon.
This business Of saving the
cities represents a new prob
lem that has been dealt with
IF dealt with at all-on the
basis of hopelessly inefficient
panaceas, ,impossibly outdated
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-03

Above all, there never has
been wide recognition given
to the fact that Harvesting
the profit motive, through
Section 6O8, was what really
achieved the apartment-con-
Struction objective.
A properly safeguarded
similar program could wipe
out blight throughout the

Of Congress to outlaw the
possibility that a builder
could mortgage out" But,
in spite of that fault, Section
6O8 did a magnificent job for
the people of Washington and
other cities who needed

eral Housing Administration
never received the credit it
deserved for supervising that
job, on the whole, very well.
