...Hills, just outside Cleveland, is a horsy household dominated by murals, pictures and statues of horses.

...Savannah River Valley, the $1.5 billion hydrogen-bomb plant caused Barnwell, S.C. to quintuple its population (from 2,500 to 13,000). A mobile city of 1,200 trailers sprang up almost overnight.

GAINESVILLE, GA., which numbers 11,936 people, fixed itself a quota of $34,528. On its streets last week, practically every electric power and telephone pole bore Red Feather placards and the slogan "Give." Over the two local radio stations, at 30-minute intervals, sounded one loud knock, then seven more knocks, and finally a voice saying, "You'd rather have your door knocked once than seven times, wouldn't you?
