Community Control: Rebuttal, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The problem of fire was very real to the early settlers of this country. For this reason, in 1626, it was decreed that thatched roofs on houses no longer would be allowed in the Plymouth Colony.

New Towns: A Peek At 1984 In Britian, Ken Parker
Smolski Texts
What's the world, and specifically the United States, coming to in the matter of housing and community life?
At least a partial answer, maybe even a portent of 1984, may lie in a municipality concept described recently by Chester E. Smolski, associate professor of geography at Rhode Island College.
