THE NEW SUBURBIA 467 



America he is too often considered something less than a menial 

 laborer. 



I suggest that something tangible be done about attracting intelli- 

 gent young men to this field. There are many who have grown up 

 in marginal farm areas, close to the soil, who would have affinity for 

 such training. They need scholarship help for the two-year pro- 

 grams. At another level, many botanic gardens and arboretums, 

 through their own efforts and funds, are trying to organize training 

 programs to meet this need. 



I further submit, that in any future conference which might be 

 called, representatives of the great botanical gardens and arboretums, 

 and other important institutions and organizations be invited to par- 

 ticipate. We have been and are working for a more beautiful 

 America, some of us for much more than a century. This is our 

 purpose. 



MAX M. THARP. Efforts should be made to guide the develop- 

 ment of trailer camps in rural and suburban areas to provide a 

 measure of comparability of environment with other housing. Resi- 

 dents of these areas should be integrated into the community. Such 

 developments could be designed to blend into the more permanent 

 community facilities. They should be regulated through proper 

 zoning ordinances to provide a pleasing environment for their 

 inhabitants.
