Improved' Hot Water Service Near For Over 300 Frame Home Units

By Russell Greenbaum

Work on improving the hot water return system of the defense homes is progressing much faster than anticipated, Paul Campbell, manager of the Greenbelt Veteran Housing Corporation, told th~ GVHC board of c::irectors Monday night, December 21.

The hot water re·:urn lines orig-inaJly installed during the war con,.;isted of gaJ..v.anized pipe since eopper tubing was critica.l at that time. The galvanized lines have built 11p a deposit to the extent that for niany periods of the day a number of the defense horne are unable to ob~in bet water due to lack of complete circulation.

Miller· Heads Elect:ions, Nomination Committee

The results of the eleLtion of the GVHC elections and nomina­tions committee held at the last membership mE:eting reveal that Raiph G. Miller received the most votes. Miller will act as tempo­rary chairman until the group elects a perman'ent chairman.

The work of repl.icing the clog­ged gAlvanized pipe with copper tubing began early this mon.t.i1 after an appropriation of $15,000 by GVHC for thi.~ purpose. It is expeeted that the return lines from · two boiler hou~ units will be com.; pletely cleared very shortly. That will give between 300 and 400 families in the frame dwellings greatly irnproved hot water serv­ice.

Others e-lected to the committee were Richard 0. Taylor, Ralph Neumann, Nathan Shinde:rman, and Joseph Comproni. The>:-e was a ti-e for the fifth position between Cornproni and J. Walsh Barcus. However, Ba::-cus withdrew in fa­vor of Comproni in order to avoid

The remainder of the work will be contractE'd for ru; soon as bids have been received from various engineering companies for the job.

The Christmas Spirit You can SE·e it in the eyes of the children and read it in the

faces of the pe•>ple on the street corners. You can hear it in the pealing of the ( hurch bells and in carols of the season when men's minds and' hear1:s are fiUed with the message that has echoed down through tne dark eenturies to offer comfort and hope to men of all times.

This is the wonder and the miracle of Christmas. Evil men have tried to destroy its meaning, thoughtless men have tried to obscure the me'.;sage or use it for their own ends, but somehow it persists and thE: promise it offers today is as bright as when it was first made. It shines in every deed of sacrifice and love, it is still a beacon to men who seek only peace and who will follow its light

. through their I· ves on the long journey forward to their final rest.

D~ecision for Darkness :Most men are able to make the vital decisions in their li\'es

without fanfar.~ or publicity. The twenty-two young Arr..eric::ms who have elect<:d to remain in Korea with their Communist captors have had the eyes of the world focused upon them while they wer:: making up their minds. They had a chance to stand up and testify to freedom; in.;tead they renounced their country.

It is ha.rd to understand the thinking of these deluded Ameri­cans. They must have witnessed the treatment given tlwir ff'llow prisoners who :t·efused to fall for the Communist line.- ThC'\' must realize the enormity of the lies they have been told. ·

The time •nay come when they will regret their decision. It is likely that when that time comes, however. it will be too late for them to salvage the liberty they have forfeited with apparent indifference.

Americans can sympathize with the parent.c:; and the loved ones of these men whose minds have been poisoned by the Communists. It is always tragic to look upon men who have turned their eyes away 'from the light and enter.~d into the kind of darkness wl;ich can consume tl:.em.

Newspapers "How far that little candle throws its beam", says an old poem.

It could be paraphrased, if unpoetically, to read, "How far the con­sequences of a strike extend".

The New York newspaper strike, which deprived the world's second largest :!ity of its principal media of information and adver­tising for 11 days, is a perfect example. Moreover, it illustrated how unique a place the newspapers hold in a community.

The strike was brought by a photoengravers' union which has 400-odd members employed on the major ~ew York papers. Ac­tuai.ly, only 201" votes were cast in favor of the strike, but it was a majority. Th(' papers, of course, could have appeared without pictures but other unions hono.red the engravers' picket lines and made publication impossible.

As a result, some 20,000 people were tr~mporarily forced out of work, and a very large p'l.yroll was temporarily suspended. And a huge amount of holiday advertising business was lost. ,

This was only the beginning. To mo:it stores, the nEwspaper is the dominant factor in advertising. It is the top medium for visually offering goods to vast numbers (•f potential buyers. No one will ever know how much retail business was lost because of the strike hut many store executives are sure it was substantial. Time was bought on· radio and TV stations. But these media are of only limitec. value to retailers for the most part and, on top of that, relatively little desirable time was available .

New York City has 10,000 newsstands and about 2.500 of them shut down entirely. All of the rest. naturally, sufft>red from the lack of paperB to sell, which are the b2ckbone of the business. :Movie theatren and sports arenas had no effective means of pub­licizing their httractions.

Fi!lally, o:' course, the public, which buys 5,000.000 copi•'" a day of the New York 1)apers, was discomfited. The newsmagazines diverted extra copies into the city, hut there: were not enoug-h of them to meet the demand and they did not carry news with tlw local slant.

Whether or not the photoengravers' wage and otlwr demands were justified is a mattPr of argument. But there can br no argu­ment about th·~ fact that the action of a very small number of peo­ple in a case like this can directly affect the lives of many million:-;. New Yorkers. today, really appreciate their newspaper~.
