Piney Creek Philosopher Tackles
I he l>i (!il\ Problem And domes
I p Willi A Lot I,ess Than Nothing
Editor's note Tlic Piney Creek
Philusoplu'i 'Hi his Johnson yrass
farm on Piney reflects some more
on the plight of the cities this
week and seems io regret it
Dear editar:
On the well-established princi-
ple I guess that Washington
.should leave you alone when
you'i' doing well and bail you
out when you're doing bad, the
eountrs s lijggesl railroad, biggest
plane manufacture, and biggi st
cities have been hollering for
financial help from Congress run-
ning will up into the billions of
dollars.
But it's the situation with the
cities that interests nv this
week Oni problem at a time.
According to a newspaper article
I read last night, the mayors of
some of the nation's biggest
metropolises are frankv saying
their cities face bankruptcy if
Washington dm sn't furnish them
billions of dollars before the
summer's over
I don't know anything about
such high (inane, although I
suspect that when a city needs
that kind of money to keep from
lining busted, it's already busted,
hut the question I'm working on
is. what happens when a city
does go bankrupt'!
Who takes it over? What does
hi do with it when he does? Hold
n garage sale and hope some
other cities come over and buy
whatever parts they need?
This is a problem not enough
thought is being given to Doesn't
the Pentagon have contingency
plans for such an eventuality?
Doesn't the New York Times
have a copy?
Now I know that when farmers,
who usivl to make up over 50 per
cent of the population, started
going broke, the experts said oh,
they're just marginal farmers,
let them go under and get a job
somewhere else, and today only
8 per cent of the population are
farmers.
You suppose they'll now say
oh. these busted cities are just
marginal cities, inefficiently op-
erated. let them go under and do
something else?
All right, suppose that happens,
and cities start dwindling to
where only 8 per cent of the
population lives there.
That's 8 per cent in the coun-
try. 8 per cent in the city. Where
in the world are the other 84
per cent?
I'm sorry I brought the matter
up
Yours faithfully,
J A.

Class Trends In
Home Building
The 70's have brought alwut
an explosion in home designing—
especially with glass, says Jan
Slabaugh, Extension housing and
home furnishings specialist at
Texas A&M.
Proof that a house can be open
to beauty, the newest designs fea-
ture extensive applications of
glass enhancing and extending
the living areas to a walled-in or
fenced-in patio.
One exciting innovation is the
patio kitchen, a design in which
the counters face outward and
extend through the window wall,
Mrs. Slabaugh reports.
Another idea is the garden
bath, where bath and garden are
separated only by a wall of glass.
For this application, the special-
ist recommends safety glass.
An entrance door flanked with
glass on both sides, called the
open foyer, provides a natural
transition from outdoors to in-
doors ,
Or, consider the cathedral ceil-
ing Vaulted windows used in this
design add horizontal spacious-
ness to a room, she explains.
To use more glass in home
designing, many builders are en-
closing the entire lot behind a
perimeter wall The wall provides
privacy in a limited space, and
permits extension of popular in-
door-outdoor leisure living. Mrs,
Slabaugh says
VISITS PARENTS HERE

daughter, Ann Michele, of Mid-
land. are visiting in the home
of her parents, Dr. and Mrs.
