Rich Man Prefers
Life In A Trailer
West Palm Heuch, Flu. ~K. II Patterson
of Troy, N. V., Hilt In his luxurious
trailer and tol<) why he believed
the (rend toward homes on wheels
would halt I la wpeclurulur spurt.
Ah he talked Patterson, president of
an Insurance corporation, and Mrs.
Patterson, Hipped cooling drinks prepared
hy their Filipino butler.
At their feet lay a cocker spaniel
and JiiKt otiiHide chattered a parrot
A top their coupe, In the higher price
cIukh, was an outbourd niotorboat
resting on a specially designed cradle.
"Yes, J spend hIx uioutlis a year In
this trailer," said Patterson. "1 am
following the winter cir< nil of outboard
races in Florida and when it
is finished we will go to Mexico City,
and then up the West coast through
California.
"Hut tiie tiling that will limit the
extent to which America will take to
wheels is the fact that all too many
people don't' have enough leisure to
make a trailer worth while. A trailer
wouldn't be practicable for a man
who lias only two or throe weeks vacation
every yeur.
"It was the same with bouts. Small
cruisers enjoyed an Immense popularity
at one time but reached a saturation
point as many discovered they
didn't have enough time really to enjoy
them or to inuke their purchase
wort h-while.
Patterson, nevertheless ,1s an ardent
trailerite.
"There's nothing like it.y he continued.
"1 go where I please and
when 1 please, and don't worry about
accommodations. Hut I contribute to
tho support of the communities I
visit. 1 estimate 1 leave an average
of $200 a week and 1 pay my share
ul taxes direct and indirect.
' While 1 believe trailer tourists now
pay sufficient taxes, there does appear
to be a real need of better apportionment
of those taxes so local
government agencies receive their
share."
The Pattersons hud Just left an
(u eanside trailer camp at Del ray
Heach, a few miles below here. Among
their neighbors were Woods Cowan,
comic strip artist, his wife and their
two children.
The Cowans likewise had one of
the more expensive coaches, and had
a maid.
Klsewhere on the groups were trailer
homes of doctors, lawyers, mer-.
chants and others from many callings.
"Hlue mold," a fungus disease, is I
doing damage to young tobacco plants
in much of the tobacco growing sec-'
lions of North Carolina.

rent loan repayments for these formerly
distressed families was disclosed
hy a recent report from t'ol.
\V> milium Manning, manager of the
resettlement administration project
Ashwood Plantation'' located In L.ee
< oiinty, South Carolina.
Selected from the relief rolls and
from distressed lands in 11)30, OS farm
families were provided with necessary
finances, supplies and guidance to accumulate
stock equipment and food-j
stuffs so that they could really start
in to farming. Most of these families
came to this project with practically
no personal possessions other than a
farm background, good honest hearts,
and the desire to work hard to pro|
vide for themselves a good living.
The next year found many of the
farmers at the start of the year witli I
portions of their debts for 1H3?> financing
unpaid, but with a start in ;
the form of equipment, stock and]
food. Additional finance advice, and
guidance was made available by the
resettlement administration, and
when the 15)86 harvest was turned
into cash these families made payments
as follows: Rents, paid In full;
11)36 loans, repayments approximating
1)1 per cent. In addition to this line!
record, payments were made on their j
old balance (1D35 loans) approximat-1
ing 43 per cent.
This report also shows that of tliej
original 63 farm families installed on '
this project 2'J paid out in full; 41
paid 11'36 advances in full and made i
substantial pavinents oil their l*.#;jr? '
|
balances; live families left the pro-,
jert for various reasons. The unpaid
balances are secured b\ mortgages'
and may be retired with this year's
bar vest.
In the fall of ll?36, .*>2 new families
were selected for this project and of!
this number 41) have been installed,
bringing the present total to U>7. Thc^
next crop season will bring in another
group to occupy the remaining units
and will Increase the total up to 164 j
which Is the number authorized for
this project.
Bandits are credited with setting

purposes as well us the delicious inside
of a pie.
Onion poultices are common?sometimes
an onion is worn suspended
from a string around a child's neck.
Although the black walnut hull is
often utilized for dyeing clothes, the

Apple cider, of course, is a beverage
rather than curative in its effect.
Tansy, aromatic of odor but bitter
in taste, is highly prized as a tonic.
You may think that a tansy cocktail
is fairly modern, but generations
ago many a tipler called regularly
