CREEPING ANT - HILLISM
A challenge to relatively young
cities such as Seattle was set forth
by Eric Sevareid in an article on
this page two weeks ago.
This thoughtful writer appropri¬
ately described New York and oth¬
er older large cities as having be¬
come “great ant-hills. . .where ugly
skyscrapers go up, shops and grace¬
ful homes are obliterated, their in¬
habitants are forced away, and year
after year New Yorkers step around
pits, stumble through wooden cat
walks, breathe the fine mist of dust,
absorb the hammering noise night
and day, and telephone in vain for
carpenter or plumber ... |
“Thousands of New York Vomen
no longer attend evening services
in their churches. They fear assault
as they walk the few steps from
bus or subway station to their a
partments. The era of the medieval
footpad has returned, and, as in the
Dark Ages, the cry for help brings
no assistance, for even grown men
know they would be cut down be¬
fore the police could arrive. »»
This we realized when we publish¬
ed this column, was a warning to
be remembered and learned from.
In fact, it was like a doleful melo¬
dy that lingers on in the mihd, re¬
fusing to be forgotten.
Did Sevareid describe Seattle 20
or 40 years hence?
Perhaps he did, although nqt nec¬
essarily so yet!
He did recall to mind the grad¬
ual evolutionary changes in Seattle
which have come about in our con¬
temporary times.
Many citizens now living here
can recall earlier times when Se¬
attle and its surrounding areas had
large open spaces of wild greenery;
brooks babbled toward the Sound
and lakes, and the air always was
bright and clear, inspiring to breat¬
he; and traffic congestion was not
yet a problem.
Today, too much of the greenery
is gone; the brooks have been oblit¬
erated, their flows usually turned
into storm sewers; air and water
pollution have become oppressive
problems; traffic congestion has be¬
come acute and dangerous.
Many of these same citizens can
recall when it was safe to walk
abroad at night in any but the wor¬
st sections of the city, where the
innocent didn’t go anyway. Delin¬
quency, adult and juvenile, was not
a mounting problem.
Today, or tonight, uneasiness will
be in the hearts of some—especially
women—as they move about. It
will not be as bad as in New York
or many older cities, but it is be¬
ginning to get that way. Even po¬
licemen in our city move in pairs
or threes in some sections of the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Blairsville, Ga.
August 18, 1962
Mr. James P. Davidson, Editor
Cleveland Courier
Cleveland, Ga.
Dear Mr. Jim:
I have been reading in the Cour¬
ier about the outbreak of juvenile
lawlessness, beatings, robberies and
killings in Towns and White Coun¬
ties.
In Union County, this seems to
take the form of vandalism against
homes when they are away for a
while. This is so wide-spread that
more and more part-time residents
are selling or trying to sell their
properties and it has gotten so some
people will not buy in our mount¬
ains unless within sight of a reliable
old-time resident who will agree to
help watch for them.
If continued, this situation will
do more harm than good newspap¬
er editors and Chamber of Commerce
can do good and it looks like it is
about time for the law-abiding cit¬
izens of our mountain counties to
band together in a sort of watch¬
dog help my neighbor committee,
reporting weekend unusual visitors
and hotrodders to our Sheriffs —
a “Law and Order” Citizens Com¬
mittee.
The ocassion of this letter is that
on August 11 my cottage was van¬
dalized (nothing stolen except l
small red flashlight), but this has
been going on in Union County for
five years to my knowledge, unde
tered and unpunished and if contin¬
ued it sure will grow into beatings

LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT
VITAL TO COMMUNITY i
GROWTH
ATHENS, Ga. - In the ever chang¬
ing face of our nation there are
many things which influence the
growth of different communities
and areas. The situation, whether
good or bad, is a concern to each
conscientious citizen. Ways must be
found for the community to main¬
tain a desirable environment for
its residents and in doing this to
utilize all its resources and potential.
One of the most important and
yet least obvious areas of commun¬
ity and area improvement is the
development of the street and high¬
way landscape. The advantages and
the proper approach to the develop¬
ment of street and highway land¬
scape are explored by Robert J. Hill
in “Street and Highway Landscape
Development,” recently published
by the Institute of Community and
Area Development at the Univer¬
sity of Georgia.
This publication is one of a ser¬
ies of books in which the Institute
helps to provide information to
communities interested in communi¬
ty planning and development and
to governmental agencies and insti¬
tutions.
Mr. Hill, a member of the De¬
partment of Landscape Architect¬
ure at the University, points out
that “attracting new inhabitants
and recognizing economic potential
has become a major concern to all
communities, especially the declin¬
ing ones.”
“Cities must also maintain econ¬
omic stability,” he said, “by revital¬
izing internal neighborhood com¬
plexes, promoting improved busi¬
ness and working conditions, pro¬
viding ready access and incorporate
ing the green of nature into the
maze of people, machines and con¬
crete. Thus community appearance
is a significant factor in total com¬
munity welfare,’
The proper approach to under¬
standing the basic principles of str¬
eet and highway landscape, Mr. Hill
suggests, is to consider the land,
plant materials, design composit¬
ion, and controls.
“In an effort to raise the level of
appearance of Georgia’s communit¬
ies and countryside,” Mr. Hill points
out, “the Institute Community and
Area Development of the Universi¬
ty of Georgia is, by this monograph,
calling attention to the need for
state-wide street and roadside im
provement.” Insti¬
Mr. Hill states that “this
tute stands ready to assist any com¬
munity or area in Georgia in pro¬
moting and establishing a street or
highway landscape development
program. Individuals, businesses and
community, area or state organiz¬
ations such as civic and service
clubs, development groups and oth
ers may well be the local agent in
instituting and working toward the
realization of street and highway
landscape development for a partic¬
ular community or area.”
Mr. Hill suggests that such an
accomplishment would give Geor
bia and her communities a progres¬
sive spirit and serve as a direct con¬
tribution to the beauty and welfare
of our nation.
