Housing Oroup Forms Co-op Corporation

The Greenbelt Housing group agreed to form a co­operative housing cbrporation, and to prepare a charter and by-laws for the proposed corporation at a meetmg held Tuesday,· August. 6, in the Social Roan. It is expected tmt the cooperative will be incorporated this week~ according to Walt.er Volckhausen, acting chainnan or the group during the absence or Dayton Hull.

"nle services or Hale Walker, original planner ot Grecnbel.t, have been obtained by the F'rll'!'\ Securi.tl~ AcBini.stration to plan the sites for the ne'l'l' h'JIIIes so th9,t they my harmonize with the present coum-mi­ty.

The primary objective of the housing cooperative• to be knOW\ as Greenbel.t Home o.tlers Services, ie the erection of good homes economically. Implement­ing td1ie, the group intends to standardize many el~ ment.s in the homes in order to obtain the advantages ot group buying, but this wil.l not be carried _sc) tar •a t.o become monotonous) to prO'Ii.de services such as tuel and cleaning materials to its membersJ and to operate under a system of land tenure which will tend t.;> keep costs down. Pravi.si.on wil.l be made to protect the equ1.ty or a member who is forced to leave Greenbel.t due to job changes.

The Irobable requirements for membersW.p includr· the t'.all purchase of one share of stock in tbe co­operative, as well as an agreement. to purchase .f'1Vf additional ehares, to be paid for at the rate of t.1IO dollars per 111a1 th. This 100ney will be used aa a f\md to repurchase the equity of a mesr.ber 11ho is forced to leave Greenbelt. The members will probab­l;r be required to build on the 11'1; they lease wi.thin one year after becoming a 11181iler.

The steering comm:lttee of the group, 'Walter Volckhausen, David Hwnphrey, and Ernest_ Wolfe, m~ wi'th llajor John o. Walker, director of the Resettle­ment Division of the Farm Security Adni.rdstration• Satlll'diQ' morning, August 10, to diecuss recent ~ vel.opJMmts in the plans of the group.

Town Council Appropriates Funds For Color Picture

At its rcgu1e.t· meeting last )!onday1 Awrust 12th, the Towr. Co1mcil unanimously passed a motion to a~ tl.crize the town manager tc finance,to the extent o1·· the estimated cost of tl.50.00, a movie project £or tb town of Greenbel.t with the understand:ng tl:at the film, on~e edited and produced, WC',uld become the pro pert.. of' the town. The proposed film will . be rrAde in color, and one showir:g will take approxh-c­atel.y one to one and one half hours. It will portr~ on 16 mm filrr. nany or the activities whi()h have al­rcact· heer. shol'IT. on 8 mm fil.m in the Greenbelt the­atre, arn in addition it will. include activ~ties suet. "'~ tr.ose of the tmvn government and its various depart:1ents. !.:r. Chinitz and his associates will produce the movie and only the cost of fil.'l': will be billed to ~ t(l\';n. It was pointed out that after production application or· sound and commercializa­tjcn cf tt.e filrr: m:i.v,ht be possible.

Other business of' interest inciluded the passing of a resolution to write a letter of acknowledgment and appreciation of a hospital bed dcnated to tr.e Greenbelt Hospital by l.'r. and lfrs. Haymond J • Clar­inval, and general di !Ocussions of miscellaneous de­velopmen~s concerning the nursery school and the Tcwn Fair. Furtl-.er study of the possibili cy of "l'A assistance in the installation of sewers, water lines and streets, in co~~ect.ion with the propoeed t.ousiru• developr.ent is to be made in the near fut­ure. A reading of a letter concernir.g Internal Rev­e-nuP ruljr.~s on taxes on swimming pool admissions showed that no final and complete settlement as to the a~propriat~ taxes has yet been rea~hed.

KID STUFF cme ot the pet theorle ot ctu.ld psychologist!!! and

others who have made a study of workinp,s of the in­fant:l.le mind has been that children !liven the OP­portunity to adequately express tJ-,e:-:eelvea u:"'der prop;:1r leadership, would lose the brattieh tenden­cies that fill the juvenile coyrts of our ).jand to overfloWing. All this by way of' introduction t.c tJ-:e thought that the juvenile court will prohably nr:>t, pass out or existence if and when the opportunities available to Greenbelt youngsters ~come uniVI!rsalJ and by way of suggeeting that perhaps such an ~Lnat:L­tution 110uld not be inapropos to Greentelt itel!

Yiithin the past weeks such recreational ac:t.i~­ties, as slashing tires, putting sand in gas tanks, draining tanks 1 climbing on care to raid birds nests, brealcing glau tail lights and romov1ng bulbs fl"':-m them:1 has been reported. Gardens have r.een report.,d stripped of tomatoes and yarioua other vegetables,. The animal disflase station reports that the hore•!s stationed there have been cau~:ht and ridden I u.:ls latter being more suggestive·of increaeed hoapi~Ll utilization rather than a juvenile court, since a:u or these animals are inoculated with various ~laea&­es ..

Nothing in th~ abovj! should be taken u 1nc11cat.­ing that we have lost !air.n in the kids or ilreen­belt. Kide are kids afu;,r all, and Greenbelt young­stern are no worse than the average. F',urtt.t!rmore we hold the comfortable theory tt.at there is nc> aueh a thing as a bad child; only bad parente. And never having h.ad that honor, we are, of course, in a P"81.­tion to know.

Sttriously 1 the answer is not a juven1le c:ourt. Courts in ~· cas!! being but symbols of faJlure. The ~Lnswer is probably closer supervision ot c:hil;j .. ren 1 21 play habits on the part of ti'.e parents. Pe­crea1~ion leadets can 1 t ~o everything, yet the aP­parent laxity on the part of some parents would in­dicat-e tnat they should. ------------

The child ttwho will not eat" ia the victim of parental overconcern. Not the child, but the Jl81'­enta are the p:roble of pb;yaiciana. FOr the de-. velopDent of nozoma1 eating habita can be obtained Cllll7 by re-eduoating the parents. Not until the anxioua mother aDd !ather loam to oonceaJ. ~ interest in the ch:Ud• a food and manner of eat~ can the ch:Ud transfer his attention from the tun ot IDollllipulating his parents to the pleasures ot eating. The parenta IIIWit GUI"Oiee enough w1ll power ~o. place food before their youngster aDd make no COJIIIIe:ilt if the food ia not touohed or the ch:Ud canplaina. No one ahoulc:t betloq, amd.et,' if the child pouta and re­~es to eat tor a :t.w days. For as aoon as tbe ch:Ud ia cominced that he ia not the center ot at­tention a.ncl can not :ln.tl.uenoe h:!.a pUente to put on' a vaudev1lle p.srformance at meal timea, he will aCfr. just himself to the new condi tiona a.ncl begin to .X.. plore the poaaibUi t.ies ot winning tam:117 app1'09'8l by eating wtat ia gi'Yen !rlm. It takes great will. POifeJ" tar parents to make such a change in their at­t.i tude but they will. be ampq repaid tor their ~ · nese if they perai~.

Scaet~a a pampered ch:Ud mo. has reigned as "Autocrat ot the Breakfast Table" and other meal. per'ioda, can onl;y be helped by complete separation rrom hia parents .tar an interval.. In a new environ­ment, treed trom the ps;ychologicall;y unwholesome at­mosphere of the home, the child reacts more quie~ to new tood habits. And the parents are often able after a separation, during ~ich the;y have been re­lieved from atrain, to adopt a· CO""l'eot attitude to the chlld when he returna. · Unless the parents have. been r«Htducated during the separation the child Will ~diately :relapae into the old bad habits.

'!'he average parent is not usual.ly able to arrange such separations and most condi tiona can be remedied at home i! the parents can control their own ~ tions. It is not easy !or the parents to break their Cllll'l habits without backsliding. ·sometimes the child, reeling indignant at being suddenl;r ignored at the table, will indulge in a few tantrums before he resigns himself to the new wa;y ot lite • But parents muat gather up the broken di.shea or disre­gard the tears with an outward appearance of calm­neaa. Such scenes oi'ten cl:lmax the last phaee of resistance to change and parenta IIIWit steel t.h-­selves tar this .t.lnal test. Hardest of all tar most parenta is to reaist the tenptation to teed the child betften meals. Such action proves to the child that he ia stUl maater o! the .tami.q.

CIVIL SERVICE- COl.':MISSlUN PRESS RELEASE ...,_.,_ __ _ The United States Civil Service Gornrr.ission has

made the !ollo'fdng statement of general pol:f.cy con­cerning the administration of the Hatch Act, aP­prove?- July 191 1940. This act was designed to pre­vent pernicious political activity by officers or employees of State or local agencies whose principal em.,loyment is in connection With activities financed in whole or in p~ by loana or grants made by the Uni~ed States or by ~ Federal agency.

l. Those acts which clearly .fall w1 thin tn•­category or 'pernicious political actiVit.;(' will be prosecuted by the Commission. This Will mean that there will be at all times a reasonable relationship between the offenses prosecuted ~J the Commission's starr, and the only penalty which the Commission can impose, namely, that or removal from office as pre-scribed by the law itsel:f. '

112• The Commission will also administer the law

in such a manner as to protect fully the civil rights cf the employees subject to its proVisions. In this connection, the Commission Will distinguish between P~ticipation in the discussions of issues o£ broad social, economic or general public charac­ter on the one hand and partisan political issues on the other hand. The Commission believes that the primary objective of the legislation is to prevent partisan political activity in connection with the conduct of political campaigns. The Commission's administration of the law will conform to this ob­jective."

The following quot.ation is taken 1'rom Clitton Fadiman' s review of the Franklin D. Roosevelt's Public Papers and Addresses for the New York Times.

"The volumes cnn stand canparison with the lAbors or professional lt'riters in more respects than mere quantity. For felf of our statesmen have produced papers or such sunt.ained readabill ty. It is not m~rely in voice and in lli!U'Uler of delivery that the President is eloquent. He is master of c. 1->rilliant­ly effective orat.•:rical style. •. • At no point• so far ais this reviewer has been able to tind, has the President yielded to the temptation to remove any paper, or address or statement that has proved em­barrassing in the' light or subsequent events or in­ccmaistent with h~Ls present views."

cne of the participants in the Cooperat.or' s synr­p'>siwn on the oonscription bill reminded. us that during the l'lst war the so-called conscientious ob­je ctors "~Were called "slackers •"

There were a great. many names called during the last war. The Congressmen who voted against our 81)­

tering into the war were abused with a vengeance• although no one now questions t.he conscientiousness of their objections. They have even CCIII8 to be known as heroes.

The fact of the natter is that there are 11BD7 sincerely conscientious objectors. Oi"ten they · are braver than the bravest sol!21ers, racing calml.y not only the invective and scom ot their· selt-right.eous fellowmen, but al.so actual warfare (in amb~ce corps and in h\D'IIBJlit.arian work). The most noted groups of object.ors are the Quakers, llho. are not.~ for their steadfastness, their levelheadedness, &,d their bravery. Their work in relieving distress in Worl'i War-torn Europe is recognized as being miracu­lous, and now they are among the first to show prac­tical concern for the piteous souls made unsheltered and unfed by the present confiict.

Whatever may be our opinion about conscription, and whatever may be the demands our laws make upon our fellow citizens, let us not express 011r opinions by name-calling, and let us not add t.o the burden o£ grief caused by this confiict~ our Olin intolerance for other's beliefs. We rray !'eel forced to demand ot certain or our citizens a rom o-L service con­demned by their fait.h, against the performing ot which their entire beings rebel. But if we fee:! forced to make such demands, we should also feel r~ these unfortunate citizens1 not contempt• but t:a. profoundest sympathy. -HO'Itard c. Custer.
