U.S. Census Nears; Results To Be Questioned, Chester Smolski
U.S. Census Nears; Results To Be Questioned, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is the largest peacetime activity of the United States government, and since its inception in 190 takes place every 10 years. It will employ, at its peak, 860,000 workers who will receive a major portion of the $4.5 billion that Congress recently appropriated for the task. And the total population will be recorded for one day, a far cry from the 18 months that were necessary for U.S. Marshals who tried to find everyone in 1790."
Those Who Served, Chester Smolski
Those Who Served, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"He looked like a kind and gentle old man, somewhat frail, slightly bent over, just a small patch of gray hair on top, glasses perched on the end of his nose and a slight limp when he walked. But what caught my attention was his automobile registration plate."
Rebirth Of The Downtown Industrial District--Key To Revitalization, Chester Smolski
Rebirth Of The Downtown Industrial District--Key To Revitalization, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Residents were there by the hundreds to welcome home one of their noteworthy product of a previous era. 'Old 299' had just returned from the Panama Canal Zone to its final resting place in the New Paterson Museum, a fitting climax for the 2-6-0 'Mogul' type steam locomotive that was born here in 1906. And June 6, 1979 marked the gala return of one of the few remaining American-made locomotives that were so instrumental in the construction of the Panama Canal by this nation in the period from 1904 to 1914, after earlier unsuccessful attempts by the French."
The Paradox Of Providence, Chester Smolski
The Paradox Of Providence, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Providence is a city of poor people, yet Providence is a rich city. This apparent paradox requires some explanation."
New Spirit In Old Savannah - A City With Plans, Chester Smolski
New Spirit In Old Savannah - A City With Plans, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"A large downtown is normally characterized by tall buildings because demand in this most accessible location is strong, with intensive use of the land being the result. Approaching a city, as one looks off in the distance at the cityscape, one is able to quickly locate the central business district as, for example, one drives south on Route 146 toward Providence. Such is not the case in this serene and lovely, port city of Georgia."
Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream--a dream of equal opportunity and justice for all. An assassin's bullet prevented him from realizing his dream. His friend and well-known leader in the civil rights movement also had a dream--a dream to build a new town in which the injustices of society would be lessened. Today, in the rolling farmland country of North Carolina, Floyd McKissick is working to fulfill his long sought dream."
