Opened November 12, 1945, Windcrest has grown from a community of 90 trailer homes to a small-sized city of more than 300 trailers and 700 residents. Families range in size from man and wife to families of four. The village is composed of three different types of trailers: standard, expansion, (owned by the government and acquired from the FPHA), and privately owned trailers. A community hall, located in the center of Windcrest, serves as a meeting place for the burgess and his seven-man governing council. It is also used as a recreation cen ter and library. Start Baby Clinic With the aid of the State Col lege chapter of the American Red Cross and the College Health Service, a well-baby clinic has been started in the trailer com munity. Once each month moth ers have an opportunity to bring junior in for a check-up. Each morning a Red Cross nurse is in attendance. A nursery has also been estab lished. There are play yards with a sand pile, sliding boards, see saws, swings, and other toys for the children. Council Governs Windcrest The Windcrest governing coun cil is elected at the beginning of each semester in accordance with the Constitution adopted in 1945. Each councilor represents a zone of the community. While the burgess attends all council meetings in an advisory capacity, the council is presided over by one of its own members, elected president. Last year a res ident counselor, appointed by the, Dean of Men’s Office, was added to help with governmental affairs. Among civic improvements in Windcrest resulting from action of the Council and College au thorities since 1945, are the seed ing of lawns throughout the area, painting of all government trail ers in a pleasing color scheme, and digging of almost two miles of ditches for the laying of sink drain lines to all trailers. In addition, Windcrest now has mail service, and milk, ice and baker routes. There are seven laundry trailers, each equipped with two washing machines and a spacious drying yard, located in the trailer camp. Community projects include a fire department, the health serv ice, and a cooperative store oper ated in the community hall.

Stuart Hall (Dormitory Number 1), in which the office of the manager of temporary housing is located, is situated at the intersection of Pollock roar extension and the new state highway. Mr. Gross said that an attempt has been made to avert the heat ing problem encountered last winter. All dormitory furnaces have been repaired and storm windows have been made for all the dormitories. “The heating sit uation will be better than last winter; it can’t help but being better,” Mr. Gross said.

Being constructed on east cam pus, facing Shortlidge Bead, below Pollock Road, the buildings are of Georgian colonial architecture. They will be cf brick and the style will be consistent with that D f other cam,pus living quarters. While the design is described as formal, it follows an informal plan so that the greatest use may be made of the sloping topography of the site and the vista down the Nittanv Valiev.

Each double room will have a double built-in dresser, e double desk with ehairs, single beds, built-in bookcases, easy chair, and a tele phone.
