Public Services Issue

Most Of the conflict with the
rural community is in public serv-
ices. Exurbanites hope to obtain
the advantages of rural living
without sacrificing the comforts
and conveniences Of urban life.
The newcomers are accustomed
to urban services; the oldtimers
are satisfid with the status quo.
Roads. schools, police and fire
protection, sidewalks and street
lights, trash collections, PLAN
ming and coming, industrial de-
velopment, water supply, sewerage,
and health services can become
points Of disagreement. Many
suburban communities with q
non-induStrial tax base cannot af-
ford the kind and quality Of serv-
ices provided in the city. The rural
resident dislikes to pay for serv-
ices that he has never had and
never wanted.
Committing is a special prob
lem. A large part Of the time
granted by shorter workweek
is spent travelling between resi-
dence and place Of work. The
early rising. the hasty breakfast,
the long ride to the city, and
the return late in the day be-
come tedious and upsetting. New
roads at first may relieve the
congestion, but they also attract
developers and a new stream Of
'exurbanites. Highways often breed
highways.

Little Time for FomiIy

The commuter has little time
to spend with his family and
even less for the community. He
becomes a weekend resident. He
neglects local clubs, organizations:
and activities, and his acceptance
as a member Of the community
is delayed or prevented. Much Of
the conflict between oldtimers and
newcomers can be traced to diff
ferences In their timetables.
Most Of the problems faced by
exurbanites fortunately are being
solved. Not all their dreams about
country living have come true,
but many have. The exurbanites
usually are young people with
enough enthusiasm and residence
to meet success and failure. They
are developing a new way Of life
in the United States. They are
the pioneers of the goth century.

The Satellite Cities

All suburbs provide some Jobs,
and many suburbs are gradually
becoming satellite cities. The
process takes this form: After the
first wave of new families,
a number of essential services
are provided. Schools, churches.
stores, and other basic CONNER
cial establishments are built.
Then come more specialized
shops and services. Shopping
centerS begin to duplicate the
downtown city services. Physi-
clans and dentists move nearer
their patients. Medical specialists
establish clinics In the area.
Soon there Is a succession Of new
establishments ranging from
beauty parlors to funeral par
lors. Small manufacturing plants
and research laboratories begin
to tap the suburban labor mar
ket. and soon the suburb has be-
come a miniature city. This entire
development increases the number
and variety Of jobs available in
the suburb.
Many Of the problems en-
countered by exurbanites in their
new environment may be traced
to the reasons that prompted
their move.
Some fled the city only to find
there was no escape from urban
influences. Others, attracted by
the romantic ideal Of rural liv-
ing, discovered that the ideal
state eluded them in the suburb.
Very likely their expectations
were unrealistic in the first place!
The truth is that suburbs are
part Of the metropolitan COM
pick. They are dominated by the
central city. Life in the suburb
is largely urban life; only a few
traces Of rural living remain. An
exurbanite retains many urban
ties. If his office Is in the city,
the part Of his life that is job
oriented also remains there. He

not q happy prospect. Rising in

is a problem. A paralysis Of
government, even for a few
months, could exacerbate the sit
uation seriously and possibly lead
to economic panic.

Where's the Gracious Living?

His wife may discover there is

a suburban setting. The second car
that was to take her to after
noon teas and bridge clubs may
become her prison. She is con-

and dentist, the movies, the park
and the playground. Meanwhile,

compelling reasons. New buildings

system that viii prepare children

changing world.
Parents expect that their chill

The honey virtues of rural life
appeal to many exurbanites, many
Of whom have rural backgrounds
or are only q generation or two
removed from the land. Those
who were born In the country
recall their childhood. forget the
less pleasant aspects, and develop
a longing for the open spaces,
the green sod, the clear skies,
fresh air, and sunshine. Others
have heard about 1t from their
parents, or remember summers
spent on the farm, or have read
Wordsworth, Goldsmith, Robert
Frost. and other romantic poets.
In their minds eye they see
an idyllic small community.
Neighborly relations will replace
the complexities Of urban individ-
ualism. A more leisurely pace, less
crowded living conditions. and the
face-to-face relations In the small
suburban neighborhood will be
much better than the anonymity,
coldness, and impersonal charac-
ter Of the city. Clothes will be
more casual, personal habits more
informal, and friendships more
lasting. The smalltown way of
life brings government closer to
people and may increase their
participation In 1t. Neighbors, not
political bosses, make the deci-
sions that determine local poll
cies and services - at least in
theory.

have shown a willingness to COM
mute long distances. Committing
patterns were revised drastically
during the war. Wartime Jobs
expanded normal labor market
areas, and wartime housing
shortages cemented this pattern.
Today a family does not hesitate
to select a home many miles from
the place Of employment.
The relatively low cost Of
homes in q housing development
and the favorable financing
plans that are now available
have enabled apartment dwell
ers to afford q home in the coun-
try. Lunchpail suburbs have
come into being. and blue-collar
and white-collar workers COM
pete each morning and evening
on the highways leading to the
city.
Migration in the past was tied
TO economic opportunities. but
now most exurbanites are look
dng for homes, not jobs, in rural
communities. They expect to
work In the city, although a few
and perhaps q growing number
Of urban residents are attracted
to suburbia because Of employ
ment opportunities.

Status Symbol?


The suburb also beckons the
status seekers as q symbol of
affluence, prestige, and what
Madison Avenue calls gracious
living. It affords a change Of
mental clothing for the entire
family. The working woman can
become the lady Of the house.
The breadwinner can Join the
country club. Music lessons and
horseback riding for the children
may complete the transformation.
When a distance Of 20 miles sep
arateS home and job, status bar
riers are easily broken. Suburban
life has become the American
ideal.
Pervasive changes In the daily
routine Of most urban jobs also
are behind the swelling current
Of exurbanites. There is a monot-
ony in specialized urban employ
ment. Few jobs carry the reward
Of creative accomplishment. Un-
like the farmer, the artisan, and

kets, the shopping centers, the
downtown department stores. Her
husband has become q handyman;
she has become a chauffeur.
Only a few exurbanites find
that they can take an active
role in the local government. The
oldtimers manage to remain In
power long after their numerical
superiority is lost. In most rural
communities, active participation
in local government affairs Is
time-conSuming and thankless.
Newcomers want and obtain few
elective offices. One exception is
the school boards, on which many
exurbanites serve. Elsewhere, the
exurbanite is content to let some
one else worry about local politics
and locM government.

People move beyond the city

Of city life, to recapture Q roman
tic ideal. to cut the cost Of living.
or to get o better place for their
children. So they say. Sometimes
their motives are not put into
words, even In their own minds.
The reasons for making this
great change in life, whatever
they are. have much to do with
the families adjustment to sub
urbia, determine how long they
stay there, and give an enlighten-
ing view Of what is happening
to cities and to people.
Some parents move to the sub
urbs because they want to rear
their children In more healthful
surroundings and q better moral
climate, away from city streets,
city playmates, the artificiailty of
urban life. and the temptations
that companions Of differing
social backgrounds and standards
may place in their way. Suburbs
offer more place for play and

BALTTMORE-UntT recently,
bells on ice cream trucks were as
common here as vanilla on apple
pie. But. like the saying worn thin
at dinner tables, Children are to
be seen but not heard" So, too,
ice cream vendors here have come
up with their own version: ice
cream trucks are to be Chope-
fully seen, but can't be heard"
The reason for this bitterness Is
that since mid-September.
State wide law has been enforced
forbidding ice cream vendors from
ringing their bells after 10 pm.
The onslaught Of reasons for and
against this action have, over the
last few weeks, taken on great
dimensions and one Of the largest
firms here, Good Humor, has its
legal department combing the law
for any-and all-loopholes.
According to Bernard j. Wen
ner. manager of the Baltimore
Good Humor organization, I'VE
don't think the law was meant
to apply to us" and. If he can,
Mr.. Wenner will certainly do all
that is possible to get clarifying
legislation through the General
Assembly next session. Right
now" he said, wed be losing
about 80 per cent of our business"
If this same law sticks by next
May. the time Of year vendors
take up their bells and start their
routes. II don't think we can ex-
ist without letting people know
we're In the neighborhood.
And when you're selling 5-and-10-
cent items you've got to keep
moving. We have to have some
thing to notify the people we're
there" he added with q certain
amount Of exclamation.
Complaints Of Porents
The reason for all the tumult
was that parents from the city
and county area complained to
public officials land through
newspapers) that ice cream trucks
created demands for sweets at In
convenient times and at times
when no sweets ought to be al
lowed. The changing Of the public
voice drove City Comptroller Hy-
man A. FRESHMAN to say good
humoredly, Of course) that ice
cream trucks should stop ringing
their bells after pm He then
asked Thomas D'AleSandro III,
City Council president. to intro
duce an ordinance establishing
such q curfew. Citing q similar
regulation put into effect In New
York City, Mr.. Pressman said
"ice cream vendors should keep
their bell-ringing at q dignified
level"
1t was at this point that Assist
ant Attorney General Robert s.
Bourbon went to the law books.
There he found q section Of the
motor vehicle code that seemed
10 put the vendors bells out of
business.
Bell-ringing was outlawed. said
Mr.. Bourbon. according to Section
293. Article 661a Of the Maryland
code. Most officials accepted the
law enforcer's Interpretation; few.

AIwoys More Work


Suburban homes are seldom
completed. A dormer window, a
recreation room, an extra bed
room. q larger garage, or q
utility room in the breezeway are
projects the exurbanite under
takes. Meanwhile, the normal
painting and papering work must
be done. Landscaping is an end
less undertaking. A flower or
vegetable garden, an outdoor
fireplace. o swimming pool, or q
rock garden consumes spare time.
Some exurbanites hope to find
more economical living condi-
tons In the suburbs. They believe
that they can get more mileage
from country dollars than from
city dollars. The pressures or ex-
penSive living are less in rural
areas. A reduction in clothing
costs. entertainment expenses,
medical bills, and most service
costs more than make up for the
added expenses Of transportation.
A few subscribe to the chicken
farm myth. They hope that a
small vegetable garden, a few
chickens. some fruit trees, and
perhaps a COW will enable them
to reduce food costs to q mini
mum. They are confident that
these ventures into agricultural
production will provide health
full exercise, useful activities for
their children, and q better, If
not cheaper, table.
The availability of housing at
moderate prices is responsible
for large part of the suburban
trend. Before the Second World
War, most homes were built one
at time for their owners.

Budget Is Item. Too

Some Of the criticism that got
the whole thing started came
from irate mothers. One said.
THE bells are definitely Q pain
in the neck to the harassed,
budget broken mothers" Another
said the bells IN her area ARE
more like gongS and when
continually sounded I find them
more than an intrusion"
Another law abiding citizen
went so far as to hken the ban
on bell-ringing to possible Red
Plot" When q simple prayer
cannot be said in school, when
people cannot play q transistor
radio on q bus, and when an ice
cream vendor can no longer ring
the bell on his truck, I some
times wonder whose well-being
our representatives have In mind.
The Russians, maybe7"
All this Notwithstanding. Police
Commissioner Bernard j. Schmidt
asked Mr.. Bourbon for an inter-
probation Of the law. He got 1t
and then enforced the ruling Vlo-
lation fines range from 81 to IS.
To date, no violators have been
brought into any courts. but the
vendors are already grIImbling
about next year. Maybe Wen
have to sell ice cream at Christ
mas time when people will
think they're sleigh BELLS" said
one 35-year-old man who works
a truck until late evening during
the warm summer months. What
ever the case. they are hoping for
a new Interpretation on q war
time law. They also hope their
ice cdeam won't melt before 1t
comes.

for the Illustration Of his Job in
