Drug Abuse In Harlem Stirs National Alarm
A National Christian Science Monitor series examines heroin use in Harlem and other U.S. ghettos, detailing addicts' lives, thefts to fund fixes, and the failed efforts of police and authorities to stop the flow. It cites 100000 heroin users in Harlem, escalating arrests, and large dealers as elusive players in a vast illegal market. The piece notes Mafia loans support traffickers and warns border smuggling fuels supply, while police insist they disrupt only small-time pushers.

It notes 1 to 8 million trees planted around 1910 to 1913, multiple nurseries, mills, and staff, plus the later shift in perception as forests matured and plans faded.
