It all started when councilman Dave Champion moved for the addition of $1,500 to pay consulting engineer's fees for plans and blueprints for a specified number of capital improvement items: Hillside-Greenhill Rd. connection, shopping center renovation wid- ening of Woodland Way from Hillside to Forestway, sidewalk 1 along Lakeside Rd., and Lakeside Road improvement. Councilman Cliff Simonoon object- ed on the grounds 1iba,t there are many other desirable ca pital im- provements and that all projects should be eva:lualted first as ito the-tr priority. Councilman Lew Bernstein also objected on grounds thalt ttherc is no assurance the funds would be sufficie nt to cover the Hillside- Greenhill Road connection. The motion was · passed after reference to individual items was deleted. Bernstein <then moved tha!t the Hmside-Greenhill cuit~through be iniltiatoo by providing specific funds fur le vel~ng and grod,ing the con- nection. Champion, .l\fayor .Eldigar Smith, and councilman Bill Hoff voted "No" on the grounds -thalt suclh leveling would leave unpaved cer- taJin s ec tions of Hillside which wer e now paved, untrl such , time as the city got around to complemng the pavJng. Irt was , better, t-hey argued , that 'the eooire ,project be done at one time and n-oit piecemeal. Simonson, who had argued earlier against idenltification of pa:rticular ca,piital improvemenlts withoult as- signing priority values, found him- self suppoliting Bernstein. Undaunted. Bern-stein then went back to Champion's orjg,inal motion and proposed that the HHls•ide- Greenhill Road connection be iden- -=------------ tified as a separa. te item for which engineer i ng plans would be dra wn up. Champion and Smith oppos ed this on grounds ibhf!>t the mobion .would give preference to a single item. Bern1:1tein poi.med out tiha t the budget already contained a great many ca, pital 1mprovem en1t ;jtems tha:t had been singled out for pre- f erred treatmenlt. Hoff then proposed a compromise. I <t was, in effect, Champion's od- ginal motion to include a ll • the five aibove-menitioned capi tal improve- ment it~ms in a s ingle bundle. This s ec ured the support of Smilbh, but Be rn stein and Champion now re- ve rsed the'ir positions. Ch a mpion voted aga inst t he motion , that he hn.d originally spon- sored and Bernstein voted for the same motion which he had turned down earlier. Simonson we nt back to his original position ,tha.it an evaluation of aH crupital improve- ments was needed before pulling out any paclicular ones for action. The compromise passed 3-2. All five counc-ilmen pledged to support , the paving of the Hillside- Greenhill road connection when ii-t comes up in due course. City manager James Giese bus proposed that a separate long-range capital improvement "budget be considered betiween regul,ar "budgets, witlh tlhe goal of adoption by March 1 of each year.

Police Training Progrnn1 On June 2, Rlicihard H. Stx>t.tler, Assiis+-.ant Dean of University Col- lege, presented ceritifi:cates to Police Officers LleUltenanlt Marshall. H. Zoellner and Paul r. Roomy who alt· Tax Rate Only $1.07 Though Budget Increased A $487,650 municipal budget for 1964-65 calling for a ta x rat e' of $1.07 per $100 assessed valuation was adopted by the citcouncil on Tuesday, June 9. This tax rate is 24 cents lower than. last year's rate of $1.31 and the lowest in the city's history For- those whose property has been reassesed upward, the dollar tax outlay will not be proportionately reduced. In a series of meetings last week the council lopped $42,850 off the $530,500 budget proposed by city manager James K. G:;..:.ie:.;s;.:e:.;.. __________ _ The $42,850 decrease was mainly a chieved by elimina tion of a $27,050 reserve for conve rsion of the tax year, $6 ,000 for a pa id fir eman , a nd $5,000 for tennis ciourits renova,tion and construclt:don. In addition, the council reduced the reserve for pay adjustments from $15,000 to $7,500, and the reserve for contingenci es from $10,000 to $8,000. The councH also sul"bstwtuted a $1,000 Mmited lighting program for Braden soft- ball ifield for a proposed $5,000 new lighting -system. Other i-tems re- duced were ltlhc -sandblasting of un- derpasses ($1,000) , Youth Cen.ter building improvements ($800), and clerical help for the Recreation Director ($500). F- inally, rtlhere was a dec, ision to use $5,000 from the buildling fund instead of general revenues to provide parking lot lighting improvements for the fire house. Offs~ng these cuts to s<ome ex- .tent were increases over the pro- posed budget. Approximately $10,- 000 addfitional was allowed for at- torney and la nd planne.r fees in conneotion with the zondng battles facing lihe city, $3,600 more for landhca,pinJg suppldes, . playgroun.d equi,pmenit, a nd pav'ing of pa th- ways, and $500 more for contribu- tions :to Little League, Babe Rwth, and Boy,s Club. New items added to the budget were $650 for widen- ing the Centerway entrance to the east pa,rlting lot, and $1,500 for e ngi neering fe es in connection with plans for-capital illllJlrovemenlts. The budget also was amended to provide for an 8 percent increase in the city manager's salary. New Tax Rate The budget estimates thaJt $236,- 200 wHl be raised from sources oth er than 1Jhe real property tax (inc-lud.ing $6 ,315 from , surplus ), leav'ing $251,450 to be raised through tJhe real esta te levy. Alpplying this a mount against bhe a,ssessed valua- tion (average a mounlt) of $23.5 mil- lion yields a tax rate of $1.07. Th e adopted budget is $113,720 or 30 percent higher than last year's fisca!l -a,p<prop:iii 8Jtlions of $373,930. 'Dhe ,populaltion of Greerubelt is ex- pected , to grow by IJhe same pro- pot1tion during bhis period. 'Dhe tax 1 ,ate, however, will be lower than last year, mainly , bec a use of the la rg e • increase in the tax base pa l'ltlly •ba sed on reassessment but mostly on new properties · corni<ng on the , tax rolls. Lia.st year's assessed Manager Giese is Panelist On the program at bhe annual confe rence of the Ma ryland Munici- pal Lea,gue a, t Ocean City last Saturday was Greenbelt's · city manager James K. Giese. He shared a pan el w:ilth Robert Ed- wards, City Administra1 tor, College Park on th e topi,c "Financing Muni cipal Governmen,t".

Now that hot weather ha.s arrived, sales a:re expected to increase as Greenbellters "get inlto the SWiim". Becall'Se of the increasing in- terest in tlhe Master Plan, addi- tional copies have been sen,t to the city offices and are avaalaJble to the 1-ubllc. va1lua tion was only $13.9 million. Other frllf'lu e ncing factors are the- g, rowtth in revenue from s ources other tiha n the p, ropetity tax : i n- ventory busiinetss tax, waste collec- tion Cih.arges, swimmfog pool fees, and ltlhe city's share of St. 'llte -col - )eoted , taxes. One item tih e city ca n- ndt courut on this year is w amhous~· renltal revenue of $4,200. NASA has· announced it w'ill no longer rent these quarters. Tax Conversion Reserve 'I'he council voted unan!irnouS'ly to ellimina te the reserve for conve r- sion of the <tax year wthk !h must take place by 1966-67. Councilmen Dave Champion and Bill HofC- pointed out that overw,helrn'ing pub- lic op'inion was agaiinst precollec- ting taxe-s for tJhis pUT!pO'Se. Of 113 r e pliics rece ived firom a mailed ques- tionnaare , to property o,wners, 96 opposed the reserve, including such lar&"e owners as GHI and Spring- hill Lake . Champion added hlmlt pllll'IS wer~ in the mm to introduce State legis- lation tihait would permit municipali- ties , to , borrow ,tJhe money needed for c:onverslion (so that the tax raJte would not have rto reflect the enitlire increase in one year) . Councilman Lewis Bernstein felt that it was up to tihe individual homeowners ito aiccumulatc money for , this conltingency, and moved tlhat the city manager inform each taxpayer of the situatiion. Council- man Cliff Sim-O'llson asked lflhat de- velopers a,lso be requir<;<J to infonn prospecitive , purchasers of homes that they would be faced with. this extra tax in 1966•67. Tennis Oourts By unanimous , action, the council' deleted $5,000 for tennijs court re- novation and constru!ction. Simon- son explained tliaJt !the courts need· a long-range planning program.

Until ,th~s long-range plan is pre- pared, be felt it would be unwise- to &]?end money to renovalte the- present courts which he declared will still be playable for seve~ year's.

City Councilmen Reverse Their Field On Capital Improvements

by Al Skolnik Late attendants at last Friday's budget meeting saw a striking

example of open-field running, as city councilmen reversed their positions like Saturday afternoon football heroes.

It all started when councilman Dave Champion moved for the addition of $1,500 to pay consulting engineer's fees for plans and blueprints for a specified number of capital improvement items: Hillside-Greenhill Rd. connection, shopping center renovation wid­ening of Woodland Way from Hillside to Forestway, sidewalk 1along Lakeside Rd., and Lakeside Road improvement.

Councilman Lew Bernstein also objected on grounds thalt ttherc is no assurance the funds would be sufficient to cover the Hillside­Greenhill Road connection.

The motion was ·passed after reference to individual items was deleted.

Bernstein <then moved tha!t the Hmside-Greenhill cuit~through be iniltiatoo by providing specific funds fur level~ng and grod,ing the con­nection.

Champion, .l\fayor .Eldigar Smith, and councilman Bill Hoff voted "No" on the grounds -thalt suclh leveling would leave unpaved cer­taJin sections of Hillside which were now paved, untrl such ,time as the city got around to complemng the pavJng.

Simonson, who had argued earlier against idenltification of pa:rticular ca,piital improvemenlts withoult as­signing priority values, found him­self suppoliting Bernstein.

Undaunted. Bern-stein then went back to Champion's orjg,inal motion and proposed that the HHls•ide­Greenhill Road connection be iden-

Tax Rate Only $1.07 Though Budget Increased

A $487,650 municipal budget for 1964-65 calling for a tax rate' of $1.07 per $100 assessed valuation was adopted by the city · council on Tuesday, June 9. This tax rate is 24 cents lower than . last year's rate of $1.31 and the lowest in the city's history For­those whose property has been reassesed upward, the dollar tax outlay will not be proportionately reduced. In a series of meetings last week the council lopped $42,850 off the $530,500 budget pro-· posed by city manager James K. G:;..:.ie:.;s;.:e:.;.. __________ _

The $42,850 decrease wa s mainly a chieved by elimina tion of a $27,050

reserve for conversion of the tax year, $6,000 for a paid fireman, a nd

$5,000 for tennis ciourits renova,tion and construclt:don. In addition, the

council reduced the reserve for pay

adjustments from $15,000 to $7,500, and the reserve for contingencies

from $10,000 to $8,000. The councH

also sul"bstwtuted a $1,000 Mmited lighting program for Braden soft­

ball ifield for a proposed $5,000 new lighting -system. Other i-tems re­

duced were ltlhc -sandblasting of un­derpasses ($1,000) , Youth Cen.ter

building improvements ($800), and

clerical help for the Recreation Director ($500). F -inally, rtlhere was

a dec,ision to use $5,000 from the

buildling fund instead of general revenues to provide parking lot lighting improvements for the fire house.

Offs~ng these cuts to s<ome ex­.tent were increases over the pro­posed budget. Approximately $10,-000 addfitional was allowed for at­torney and la nd planne.r fees in conneotion with the zondng battles facing lihe city, $3,600 more for landhca,pinJg suppldes, .playgroun.d equi,pmenit, a nd pav'ing of path­ways, and $500 more for contribu­tions :to Little League, Babe Rwth, and Boy,s Club. New items added to the budget were $650 for widen­ing the Centerway entrance to the east pa,rlting lot, and $1,500 for engineering fe es in connection with plans for-capital illllJlrovemenlts. The budget also was amended to provide for an 8 percent increase in the city manager's salary.

New Tax Rate

The budget estimates thaJt $236,-200 wHl be raised from sources other tha n 1Jhe real property tax (inc-lud.ing $6,315 from ,surplus ), leav'ing $251,450 to be raised through tJhe real esta te levy. Alpplying this a mount against bhe a,ssessed valua­t ion (average a mounlt) of $23.5 mil­lion yields a tax rate of $1.07.

Swimming Pool

Swlimm.in,g pool passes are still avalilalble and may be obtained a,t

Becall'Se of the increasing in­terest in tlhe Master Plan, addi­tional copies have been sen,t to the city offices and are avaalaJble to the 1-ubllc.

Tax Conversion Reserve

'I'he •council voted unan!irnouS'ly to elliminate the reserve for conver­sion of the <tax year wthk!h must take place by 1966-67. Councilmen Dave Champion and Bill HofC­pointed out that overw,helrn'ing pub­lic op'inion was agaiinst precollec­ting taxe-s for tJhis pUT!pO'Se. Of 113 r epliics received firom a mailed ques­tionnaare ,to property o,wners, 96 opposed the reserve, including such lar&"e owners as GHI and Spring­hill Lake.

Champion added hlmlt pllll'IS wer~ in the mm to introduce State legis­lation tihait would permit municipali­ties ,to ,borrow ,tJhe money needed for c:onverslion (so that the tax raJte would not have rto reflect the enitlire increase in one year) . Councilman Lewis Bernstein felt that it was up to tihe individual homeowners ito aiccumulatc money for ,this conltingency, and moved tlhat the city manager inform each taxpayer of the situatiion. Council­man Cliff Sim-O'llson asked lflhat de­velopers a,lso be requir<;<J to infonn prospecitive ,purchasers of homes that they would be faced with. this extra tax in 1966•67.

By unanimous ,action, the council' deleted $5,000 for tennijs court re­novation and constru!ction. Simon­son explained tliaJt !the courts n eed· a long-range planning program.

A Commendable Bud~ et · In adopting the 1964-65 municipal bud?,"et, the city council has

taken a long stride forward in bringing Greenbelt abreast of its t'&.:;)~::isibilities. The budget takes account of the growth of the ,community and the need for additional se.rvices. It makes a start o.~ whittling down the backlog of needed projects that the city has been unable to undertake under the tight budgets adopted in -previous years.

Among the highlights of the budg-et are the addition of 4 full-time policemen to give more complete round-the•clock service, the establishment of a separate parks crew to recondition the city's parks and playground·s and the Lake area, and the speeding up. of a road-maintenance and parking-lot construction program. Additional sums also are allowed for landscapin'{ supplies, play­gr.ound equipment, and recreation instructors. At the same time, due mainly to the reassessments and large increases in the tax base, the tax rate was dropped 24 cents.

The council also decided to eliminate the reserve for conversion of the tax year. \Ve recognize that the overwhelming majority of property owners polled voted to eliminate the reserve, presumably preferring to pay the entire extra half-year's tax in 1966·67 when clue a'1d when the tax base may be much greater. We also recognize th.at t here is some hope that legislative relief will be vot~d by the St te that will permit the ciy to spread the cost of conversion over a period of years in the future.

Nevertheless. the council must ask whether its action has served the entire public interest and strengthened the city's image. We are mindful here of those who will find the extra taxes onerous if not spread over a period of years, of those who will be moving into Greenbelt in the next two years unaware of the added tax burden they face, and of the orobleMs of developers who will b? t:r11ing to sell homes in the year that the tax rate jl1mps 50 per <ient.

Third Sabin Vaceine Offered on Sunday

The third dose of the> Sabin oral polio vacc:ne will be given at the <..,.,n~er ..,chuol and Greenoelt Jun;or High School oa Sunday, June 14, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

There are only two valid reasons to defer taking the Sabin oral polio vaccine:

(1). If a person is acutely ill on the day of the feeding (June 14) or,

(2). If one has had a smallpox or measles vaccination in the last three weeks.

All citiens of the metropolitan aree. are urged by their medical societies to turn out to take the vaccine. Even if persons m~ssed the first or second doses, they still need to take the Type II vaccine on June 14. The Type I and Type III vaccines may be taken later.

As with the Type I and III vac­cines, a person simply eats a cube of sugar on which several drops of the vaccine have been placed. The entire process takes only a few mo­ments. The cost is a voluntary con­tribution of 25c; however, it will be provided free to anyone who does not have the money to con­tribute.

There is no such thine; as bein:;; t:J old to take the vaccine. Any in· dividual who has not ha d the Sabin. vaccine can be a carrier bf polio, and it is only through total im­munization of the area's population that polio can be wiped nut for­ever. Anyone who has taken the Salk shots is also urged by the me­dica1 societies to take the Sabin vaccine,

I nvestigation has indicated that many persons in the area believe that they should not tak~ the vac­cine because of various allergies or diseases. The spokesman for the medical societies indicate that n ei­ther disease or allergy is a. reason for not taldng the vaccine.

The spokesman further stated that a person may, and should, take the oral vaccine even if he has allergies, including penicillin allergy.

There is more penicillin in a glass of milk than there is in a dose of the vaccine; however, people who fear even this infinitesimal amount should consult their doctor. The medical spokesman say further that the vaccine should be taken regard­less of any basic disease process (diabetes, asthma, etc.) or if a pe;r­ROn has recently taken a Gamma Globulin or Salk Shoit, or is taking any other medicines.

The doctors also indicate that a person may take the vaccine even if vomiting on the day of feeding or if he has severe diarrhea. However, there is a possibility that the vac­cine might lose some effect iveness. The doctors hasten to add that tlh·rough some effectiveness mig,ht be lost it is still better to take the vaccin~ and be assured of partial protection.

This company has been the supplier and installer of glass and allied building products for many private homes since 1946. It has also worked on construction projects which have been cited by the Washington Board of Trade as award-winning buildings.

In addition, Miles has replaced so much glass in so many cars that if all the panes were piled on top of each other, they'd make a mountain many times higher than the Washington monument.

What is a leading glass company like this doing in the Yellow Pages?

The company feels that advertising is what helps a business grow-and that one of the best media is the Yellow Pages. • • • •

Yellow Pages advertising can help your business ex­pand. It's a small investment that pays big dividends.

Find out what an advertisement in the Yellow Pages directory can do for you.

Call your C & P Business Office and ask for a Yellow Pages representative.

Mr. Walter Miles, Jr., president of the Miles Glass Com­pany, says, "We know that people use the Yellow Pages. We get calls consistently from folks who say they saw our number in the Yellow Pages directory."

Talking to Baby Essential For Normal Development

The cooing and prattle most nl'others seem to instinctively lavish on their c'hildren isn't just so much "ba!by talk" Psychiatrists and pediatricians now recognize such maternal "gushiness" as higlhly im­portant to the emotional develop­ment of children. The absence of such development, in turn, is a factor in · r..ental retardation. In­deed, moslt authorities agree that 75 to 80 per cent of the men'tal re­tardation in this country stems from a lack of emotional develop-ment:

Of course talk isn't the only thing that stirs interest, curiosity and intellect, factors which go to make up e1notiorual development in an infant. But it is one of the most readily ava;il31bJe means of com­munication between pn.rent and ohild; (even if they don't under­stand each other's words) and early conununlca,tfon is t he basrs for emotional development. Words, a nd the . aib!Uty to link tihem into thoughts, are hi-ghly importa.lllt tools of learning. If these tools aren't learned, the ch ild has difficulty de• veloping. He becomes, in effect, walled off f rom th e normal world AJbout him.

It is, of course, possible t9 over­coddle a child. Because r.ich sti­mulation of a child is good doesn't mean thait more sitrumuia,tion i.s bet­ter. He can be pushed too ha.rd, made to develop too fast, and this can .create its own set of difficul­ties.

The imporllant thine- is to make certain that your chft'ld does have loving stimu'la.tion; tihalt he gets the aJtJten'tion he needs to encourage his cur'iosity, interest and imagination.

A WEEK AT CAMP LETTS by Bernice Rowley

Fifth Grade Teacher, Cent-er School

"There's fun afield" was evidenced at Camp Letts when fifth grade pu­pils from Center School spent five school days away from their desks. In spite of various interests, this experience developed an understan­ding and appreciation of the ways of life in a natural setting, This has led to a study of communities of livJng things, meaning of inter­dependence, and balance in nature, and conservation.

We in Prince Georges County are fortunate in having an outdoor ed­ucation school made available dur~ ing September and May. This pilot project has been developed by n­terested staff members. Quotes from students' letters show their desire for the continuatio~ and ex­pansion of the program in order that more boys and girls will have the same opportunity to participate.

Back in the classroom ag-ain with a wealth of matel"ia:l from their col­lections, notes, and snapshots, the students are continuing their stu­dies of the outdoors. Social skills are being developed through com­mittee work. A variety of ways of reporting and sharing information develops such skills as writing thank-you letters, research 'reading, writing reports, giving oral reports using notes or outlines, using art materials, making charts, vocabu­lary building, collecting and writing creative nature poems, and most interesting of all - the ability to use the microscopes, opaque pro­jector, and micro-projector.

Planning precamp activities with the students is a part of the class­room teacher's responsibility. Stu­dents are aware of their responsi­bilities as to planning, purpose, and follow-up.: Setting a table, folding the flag, making beds, and trail etiquette were a part of the prepar­ation for a fun-filled week at camp.

Observing students motivated by real life experiences, the friendships made with pupils of other County schools, and their relationships with their student counselors, is reveal­ing. A class survey indicated the pupil's preference for the waterfront activities, especially casting and ca­noeing. These are opportunities which couldn't posibly be offered in the self-contained classroom. Most interesting of all was the oppor­tunity of observing students w hen they realized that learning can bei fun.

School's Out "School's Out" may be a happ~

occasion fr.ir area children, but it has a. different meaning for the motorist. It means extra danger, the American Automobile Associa­tion warns.

During the next three months. the normally quiet hours between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. constitute a new danger period for potential traffic accidents involving school age chil­dren, pal.1bicu'1a1rly in restdential areas and around shopping centers. Children at play are not apt to be thinking about the rules of safe­ty and motorists are unaccustomed to watching for them during these hours, reminds George R. Ham­mond, Manager of the Traffic Safe­ty Department, D. ·C. Division, AAA.

"A child," Mr. Hammond points out, "has an uncanny ability to con­centrate on his play and disregard everything else around him. It's the motorist's responsibility to watch out for the child and never assume that cMldren Will detect your car."

"Parents also have a major re­sponsibility," he added, advising them to instruct their children as to proper play areas. "The street," he says, "is a very hazardous play­ground and so is the driveway."
