The Japanese are faced with extremely high interest rate
construction costs and land prices, according to research by the
Mainichi, one of the largest newspapers in Japan.
The Japan Real Estate Institute reports that average land
prices have risen 10 times in the period since 1955. Less land if
available for housing because few land owners want to sell. They
believe the price will continue to go up.
The government has a program to stabilize land pi ices bu<
experts consider the task herculean, and no one is predicting when
and if this can be accomplished.
Hideo Edd, president of the film which built Tokyo’s 36-storey
skyscraper, believes the answer to the housing problem is the
construction of high rise residences in the urban complexes.
The government figures it will have to build 6./ million family
units in order to house everyone in Japan.

a magic night in a magic city. The night air in Rome is warm
and the city is lit up displaying all her charms to whoever would
drink of her gaiety. We hopped aboard one of Rome’s many horse
drawn buggies and it was a wild ride through the streets of the
ancient city to the Fountain of Trevi. The Trevi Fountain on
a warm August night is teeming with tourists, each one throw­
ing his or her coins into thevclear waters. There is a Roman saying
that anyone making a wish at the fountain will one day return to
Rome. The rushing waters and the bacchanalian spirit which
seems to envelope you makes everything seem artificial and I had
to remind myself that I was indeed in Rome and that soon I
would have to leave. From the Trevi, the four people in our party
decided to walk to the Via Veneto although we had no inkling
as to which way we had to go. We walked through side streets
where we were accosted many times by Italian femme de la nuit
and there was no mistaking the Via Veneto when at last we found
it. Near la.m., the-traffic stops on the Veneto and the proprietors
of the shops bring their tables and chairs out onto the avenue and
the whole place becomes one big outdoor restaurant. The citizens
of Rome emerge in their finery and it is said that you may sit
next to an Italian politician or a Roman actress.
THE ROAD NORTH
No one wanted to leave Rome and the dolce vita The fiftypersons in our entourage probably had fifty different reasons for
wanting to stay. From now on it would be ever northward and
