Mayor De,plores Untidy Premises

Greenbelt is getting to be a shabby place· to live, according to I\fayor Frank Lastner and Coun­cilman James Smith. Citizens are throwing trash in t~1.e streets, par­ticularly on week ends, said Smith, who cited one example whe're he found 14 pairs of shoes, 7 hand­bags, ladies' under-garments, let­ters, and unusual objects in a trash pile near his court. He in­forme'd the police, who examined the pile, found the name and ad­dress of the responsile party from the letters, and told the trMh­throwers to clean thE' mess up.

Lastner declared that he has no­ticed old tires, wheels, cartons and similar debris in backyards. He opined that resid€".1.t's don't seern to have pride in the yards and gardens any more. Also, he too has noticed old mattresses and bedsprings, discarded furniture, and general trash piled up on roadsides, detracting from the beauty of the community.

Some of the problem was attrib­uted to people moving from town. Often those leaving Greenbelt pile up their discarded furnishings and household items and leave the ~areles!>ly aba!ldoned.

Lot Bu YE~rs lnvHed To Ap_ril 6 Meeting

Persons mtereste•:l in building on lots to be individually owned, in a new addition to Greenbelt, are in­vited to attend an organizational meeting Monday, April 6 at 8 p.m. in the home economics room of the Center S-chool by Elliott Buk­zin, chairman of tb~ Greenbelt Land Improvement Corporation.

Lots in the new subdi'lrision will be located on a tract skirting the Greenbe'lt Lake, a::1d will be sold on a non-profit basis.

Red Crc)SS Canvass Logs In Gr·~enhelt

Mrs. Christopher Mullady, chair­man o·f the Red Cross drive for funds in Greenbelt, reports that only one-third of the city's quota has be'en met. The driv·~ has been extended to April 10. Volunteer workers are continuing individual calls and, in addition, Mrs. Mul­lady will pick up any donations if requeseted to do so. She may be re-acheu at GR 3-8581.

Residents are reminded that vital programs o f the Red Cross cannot be carried cut if fund quotas are not met. The import­ant gamma-globulin program de­pends not Clnly t::pon the people who supply the blood, but upon those who supply the funds to process and d!stri.bub~ the dona­tions. To meet other 'L"egular com­mitments and to n1aintain new programs means that the Red Cross fund drive must 'be support­ed by all.

Men's l~owling Dinner Planned For· April 7

The Greenbelt Men's :Major BO\vling League will hold its an­nual d~aner and business meeting in the basement of the Community Church on Tuesday, April 7, be­ginning at 7 p.m.

Following the dinner of ham, baked beans, and potato salad. the business meeting will feature elec­tion of office·rs, a:nd th•? awarding of individual and team prizes. The meeting will then adjourn to the Athletic Club where additional re­freshments will be served.

Each team cap·:ain is requested to notify Fred Birdseye as to the number of team mernbe'rs who plan to attend the affair, not later than Thursday, April 2.

Band, MajoJreHtts Get Community App1lause

By Vincent Caruso A very successful concert and

pe'rform.ance· of the Greenbelt Community Band and 1\Iajorettes was given last \Vedne::da.y in the auditorium of the elementary school, judging from the large au­dience' including town officials. whose enthusiasrn an-1 re:sponsc was heartwarmin.5 despite the in­clement weather that pre-vailed. Some band members were seen toting their instruments in frtsr.­ly-cleaned and pressed uniforms through the drizzling rain and '-\·ind, but this :Hd not dampen their ardor to give a good concert. Corsages and boutonni,o:rcs graced many of thE> town officials and 'for­mer members of the board.

dergarten is accepting registra­tions for those who winh to be en­rolled beginning September, 1953 All children who will be five be-­twe-en January 1, 1953 and Decem­ber 31, 1953 will be eligible. Classes arc held in both the Center and North End Schools and registra-­tion is being accepted l>y the pres-­ident, Opie Stage, at 7506.

The Maryland General Assembly passed a bill (HB806) on Wednes-­day to author·ize public-tuition kindergartens in Prince GeorgetJ County. Republican De·legate Har· ry E. Taylor, Jr., who presented the measure, contendE~d that the seventeert cooperative kindergart­ens in Prince Georges would bene­fit by such coordination because in some private kindergartens more is taught than the child is required to know in first grade. Such disparity of education cannot: exist in the Greenbelt Cooperative Kindergartens because, in each case, the pre-school class is under the supervision of its respective school.

The Center School PTA meeting l\Iarch 2·! had as its theme "Our Children Teach Us" and various elassroorns pres-ented their ve'rsion of knowledge gleaned. Children from Mrs. Beulah Barker's Green­belt CoopE'rative Kindergarten morning and afternoon classes who took part in the program were Vanessa Webster, Carol Hunt­zicker and Gary Johnson. They explained their classroom project o·f planting narcissus bulbs in cottage cheese boxes and covering the bulbs with stones and water so they could watch them grow.

NaiJtte Change Slated At last Monday's meeting tho:!

GVHC board reque's•ted that the title of Greenbelt Development Corporation be changed to <:on­form more with its apartm•~nt­

ntanage•rnent operations in the fu­ture, and that another group be S·E!.t up to handle the undeveloped land. This latter organization will be called the Gre'enbelt Land Im­provement Corporation.

The board also discussed three major development projects slated for this year:

1. Constzuction of 100 prefabri­cated houses on the westcrmnost part of the undeveloped iand, op­posite the rifle range.

2. Construction of 50 pre-fabs on the old Homeowners Co-op plot, on the area north of the lake road opposite St. Hugh's Church.

3. Non-profit land development. The audit committee submitted

a report criticizing the alleged "too rapid development" of the, un­developed land.

" Letters To The

SQUAD QUARTERS As chief of the Greenbelt Res<!ue

Squad, I wish to make a reply to a statement in the 2ooperator in regards to property that: has been obtained for Squad quarters.

This land, which was leased from the State of Maryland, was made a reality through the untir­ing efforts dt Frank Riley, past command(;r of the Greenbelt American Legion post; Marshall Zoellner, past chief of th~ Rescue Squad; and Majo- General Milton A. Packard, Mjulant Gene;:al for the State of Maryland. Neither the city official nor the National Guard had a hand in t!:J.ese opera­tions.

This, which in my opmwn is Rescue Squad personal business, has never been carried out in se­crecy. I fePl, and an-.. sure the p'!ople of Greenbelt would agree, that the squad ~s inadequately ho'!,!se in a converted three-car garage.

At present, we of the Squad have no ir:tentions of conducting a building fund drive. Our fund­raising will be, as it has been in the past, thr(mgh our Arabulancf> Club membership, dances, raffles, etc. 'The money raised in this manner will be earmarked for the operating fund, building •fund, and ambulance depreciation fund.

cies are not yet alarming, it is a serious matter and quite costly tc the members. In thE past the mi­nority members fought strongly for 90 percent ownership before signing a contract with PHA and finally got the membership to con­firm this proposal. Later this wa~ changed to a much lower owner­ship ratio. If we had held to 9C percent we would not now be wor­ried or plagued with vacancies.

2 - Proposal to buy the apart­ments. The minority members op .. posed the action of the board iL proposing to purchase the apart .. ments on the grounds that:

a) Either legally 01 rr.orally such action required membership auth· orization.

b) The was suffieient time to take the matter to the member­ship.

c) The board's job is to opt:rate G VHC as economically a.nd effi­ciently as possible without spend­ing time, effort and 1noney on oth­er projects.

3 - Garden plots. The manage­ment claims that it :s not possibk to) assign garden plots without ad­ditional staff. If the .3imple rou­tine job of assigning: garden plots is too much for our staff, we ar:!

.in for a bad time, .indeed. Forc­ing people to join a Garden Clu::> ar:d attend me'etings merely to get

\\'E \\'ERE GLAD when our boy consented to dig the onion grass out of the lawn, but when we saw the holes it made' in the ground, v:e called the project off. Instead, we'll try spr J.ying with a weed hill(·r, as GVHC Gardener John D. AndcTson suggested. It's a lot easier tl1at way, too. THE TIXY, COLOFI'UL, VEL­YET pansy gives generously of it-

self, like a magic pitcher which re­fill!; automatically. Mr. Anderson says it's true that the more the~ arc· picked, the more and larger tht·Y grow. "They ought to be picked ofl' frequently, especially thE· dead ones." Plant in a cool. shady area, in rich soil. A iooBe, mellow sail of rotted wood and da:npt leaves gotten •from the woods, then s.wedened with ag:ri­cul tural lime and fertilized with bone meal, is 'ideal. The next: year thP plants should be moved a few inche·s. and the third year an en·· tirdy diffE·rent location chosen for pl~•nting. P1insies are in bloom now. and will be until mid-July. JUST AS FALL l[S THE BEST time for ~.ceding lawns, setting in daffodil, crocus, hyacinth and tu· lip bu!bs, so it is the best time to plant pansiPs. Pansy plant seed­lings, bought in the Fall for threC' or four c;mts a piece, are unhurt by the winter's cold. '£hey may be planted now too, of course, and are be.ing sold for about $1.25 a dozen. GLADIOLUS BULBS should 11.ot be put in until the first: of ]'..lfay, as they need lots of warmth.

Dollars and Sense WHICH 1\IAKE CAR?

You can't afford to be a devotee of any make when you are out to buy a used car. The most impor­tant single factor is the condition of the indi1tidual ca:: you are buy­ing. In gE!lleral a heavier car is more expensive to run and cost!:; more to repair. If you are a:fter cheap transportation the lighter ears are your best bet. In a :.~sed

car it is not l:he initial cost that is important. It is the upkeep you want to keep an eye· on.

1.'ESTH"•iG A USED CAR No matter how you ~ick up a

used car, before you buy it you should know what you are getting. There may be some thing wrong with the car that won't cost too much to fix. Or there can be enough whong with it to le>ave it alone.

There are certain tests you can perform on a used ·~ar. The Jan­uary issue of Consumers Union gives a list of various tests you can put the car th1:ough right at the dealer's lot. If a dealer won't let you put the car through such tests, forget about the car.

In any case, it is a good idea to have an E!Xpert mechanic check the car. The Coop garage will check a used car that you are in­terested in as a S<~rvice to you. There is no charge for the service, I am told. You have to bring the cz.r in though. BABYSITTING QUID PRO QUO
