Police Blol:f:er By Bill Goddard

August 22, 1950: T!~;:-re were very few incidents of

crime or other disturbances m Greenbelt over the ~ast week. If the situation remains the same ev­uybo;ly in town will be happy.

TiH· police were successful in the apprehension of two boys who were attempting to steal bicycles at the cetJter. The owners of the bicycles .'.:av. the two would-be thieves rid­ing off with the bicycles and im­mcdiateiy reported it to the police. The police took quick action to re­tri,,ve the bicycles and to appre­hend the tw0 culprits. Proper fur­ther anion will be taken with the two bnys. Most aDl,using story of the week:

.r\ child repol:'~ed to her mother that a clean dog was lying in front of the house. Ti1e mother there­upnn caltcd the police asking them to rc·mt)ve ~h<:> dog. Tl:e mother a)lparently ht·camt' curious about tlu· dog aftc::- phoning and went out to look at it. Cpon closer ins~c­tion the mo~hcr c!isco..-ered it was merely a rag doll dog. ! ! - ! Good detection, mother.

A local male resident recently kit for the armed services. In the last minute rush to reach training camp on time he forg.Jt to close the win­dows. A neighbor, -:oncerned over the possibi11ty of another Saturday night !'ainstorm, called the police and asked them to oblige the for­l!etful recruit by closing the win­dow. It's probably a sure thing that the recruit will not be serving on a submarine ... he might forget to close the hatches.

Co•~perator Reports Pros And Cons Of Joining City Library To County

By Miriam G. Johnson In an attempt to reduc:e the tax burden kt Green:t>elt by taking"

advantage of county funds, the last city council meeting discussed the advisability of associating the Greenbelt library with the county' library system.

The nucleus of the present city library was obtained in June, - ·19J9 when $3,0oo was appropriated

L0ng, .\G-Res., one of the three local re­;;en c o)fficcrs appointed to the unit. Lieut. H. Burke Horton and :\Iajor Lyma·1 L. \Voodman, the Navy and Air F )rce members, discussed with CoL Long the plan outline proposed by Major Woodman to th(! City Council on August 14. Points re-' quirin:; further investigation were talked over informally, and arrange­.'Jlents were made to meet in a few days on the subject with Civil De­iense Director George Panagoulis. The p Llrpose of that m·ceting will be to cli~cuss what has been accom­plishe I toward the establishment of a plan by Chief Panagoulis since his a:JPointment as head of that program in June this year, and to arrive at a consolidation of ideas on a rrl<)(f~l plan.

The advisory committee will re­port to the Council September 11 on what should be included :in a dis-­aster plan, and how such a plan can be pu·: into effect in this· city. The report will be the result of consulta­tion b-etween the committee an-d the civil defense director. ·

Major \Voodman, who is acting as cornmitttee chairman, states that althotJ.gh volunteers to carry out vario1: s tasks will he sought in the near. future, the current project is a matter of overall planning and preliminary investigation for com-.., pletiou by the present staff.

Sanc:lhaus Wit:h Group to Survey Moral Needs

Rabbi Morris A. Sandhaus, Vet-· erans Administration chaplain and leader of Greenbelt's JCC, bas been choser. to participate on a commit­tee to survey and determine the rec­reatioJtal, welfare, spiritual. and morak needs of military personnel in the \Vashington area.

Patrick M. Deming, vice-presi­dent :>f the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Washington, is chair­man cf the committee, which -.,vas. initiatt d by the recreation and group work section of United Com­munity, Services.

Accdrding to the survey, the im­pact ot\ Washington of military per­sonnel: is much greater than is now apparetlt to organizations and civic leaden' in the Washington area.

The number of military p•~rson­nel in the area is estimated a:t 70,-000, sr ending $40,000,000 cad year in hou:;ing, food, entertainment, etc. Ninety percent of this personnel is permanently attached to the area.' Recreational facilities are particu­larly i nportant for the forty per­cent "'ho are 21 years of ag·~ and under.

the only cultural center ol;'fhe city, with its present high-caliber per-50ltJ1el, augments the educati.:>nal facl!ities of the town. Individual books can t~e o!.>tain~d by requt>St from the Baitimorc public library, which is the same source used by tbe county.

What If We Change? The crmnty catalog sy!:.tem is said

to be much less complete than that ' used in Greenbelt an-d the due dates of books not as r.arefuUy recorded .. All of the present Gnx"llbelt library books would bear the stamp of Greenbelt, if the city' library amal­gamaterl with the county system, but it would be uncertain when they would return to the home s!lelves·. Present fines, which aver­age about $50fl per year now, go hack into the municipal funds. As a member of the county libra:ry cir­cu:t, the fines would go thcrc. Li­brary holl'rs would also change to con.form to the county set-up There has been some mention- of the possibUity of a county bookmobile going to th~ north-end school oc­casio-.:ally.

According ~ to City Manager Charles McDonald, tne present number of library users in Gt-een­helt h; not con,sidered adequate for majntaining the type- of. library fa­cilities employed. . He plans to cir­culate a request to find out. if open­ing on Saturday, or havin.g late hours nightly, will bring more adult patrons.

Lal'kll Survey Dr. Christian L. Larsen, execu­

tive secretary of the Maryland League of. Municip"lities, was call­ed upon by City Manager M-cDon­ald to survey the situation, since. Greenbelt is a member of the L€'a­gue. Dr-. Larsen expressed the fol­lowing opinion in a letter to Mr. McDonald dated July 29:

" ... it was like a breath of fres-h air to look into the fa<.:ilities and. operations of Greenbelt's munici­pal government ... most Maryland mu~:'dpalities perform very few services for i:he people and .:onse'• quen.tly have comparatively low tax rates. \Ve n.ecrl more municipali­ties' services throughout the state, rather than fewer.

"The library problem is a rather special one, hvwcver. Currently, Greenbelt and Takoma Park oper­ate the only two· municipal librar r ies in Prince Georges County. The county library system, established three years ago, ha~ onlv four bran­ches. '' ... for the first y.e.a:r, at least, G:.-eenbelt would not effect a major

''reduction in its tax rate as a result of tram~ferring the l-ibrary to the county system. . .. the county li­brary ·budget already is set up for th~ coming year and contains no provision for salaries for additional branch libraries . . . Greenbelt would have to assist the county in this matter for the first year at lea~t. There is to be k<!pt in mind also that, as the county system grows, it will need additional funds. These additional iunds may come from· an :nc,reas.e in the , two-cent r.ounty-wide library tax, with there­sult that Greenbelt residents might . see a lower city tax rate and a high­er county tax rate."

A GOOD START TO SCHOOL By Md. Tuberculosis Ass•n

Thousands of children throug!;;;;t the country will soon be going off to school for the tirst time. Great preparations have been made ifo:: this big event. Most of these youngsters have new clothes and some unfamiliar new tools, like pen­cil cases and note books.

"I have read Cooperative Peace an{} I cannot think of a tune­licr book, what with the world again teetering on the precipice of a glo­bal war. Dr. Warbasse not only shows a ray of hope but he pro\·es, through an analysis of the human being and his social development. that competition is the unnatural seedbed •Jf conflict and thai: in co­operation m<tnkind can and will find the highway to peace."

Co-op Store Sets Up "~air Share" System

Another :sister is taking her vacation in town; Mrs. Laura Diamond and her three chil fren (ages 4, 8 and 9) is spending the month of August with Anne Mit­tledorf, 14-X Ridge. She made the trip from Miami, Florida Ly train. With three youngsters in tow, she

soun is like a remarkable pers•}n ·­or perhaps her children are. She will go on to New York to see other membe:r:s of the family and visit Greenbelt ·again on her way home. The Mittledorfs had a house ftsii of company over the weekend. Mr. an~ Mrs. M'olnick from .Washington. and Mr. and Mrs. AI Shapiro who are moving to Washington from New Ycrk. It was a kind of reunion of old friends !rom the "Skyscraper City."

Many of the imperfections~ of early childhood could be corrected if discovered early in the. life of the child and treated prom•ptly. Where the parents' budget would be strain­ed by this e xtra expense of a medi­cal checkup, ad,·antage should be taken of hospital or clinic facilities in the community.

Amqng the handicaps some child­ren face are poor eyesight, impair­tel hearing, faulty posture, speech defects, inj-ured hearts, nervous and hchavior disorders, diseased tonsils, foot deformities, and malnutrition.

Any one of these "childhood de­ficiencies,'' if undetected and allow­ed to go unchec!.;:ed. will not only illlpcdc ed•tcational progres·.s, but frc<Juently will mean serious illness later in life.

New Co-op Training Course In Nebraska

LINCOLN, 1\EB. - A two-year course in cooperative training will start this fa!J at the University of Nebraska. A recent survey of co­op man:..ger changes aione in the past 3% years, by the Ne'braska Cooperative Council S'howed· 265 changes in the 475 associations checked, according to Gale· Ander­son, newly-appointed council secre­tary. "Too many untrait~ed men have been hired because there was a lack of a training program," Anderson said.

At Your Service. • •

The following story pleased us and we thought it might be of gen'eral in­terest. It was told by "Robbie" Rob­ertson, who many Greenbelt residents remember as the designer of the Green-belt Supermarket. · ·

.During a plane trip recently he feJI into conversation with a passenger from College Park. The subject tur·ned to supermarkets and Robbie a~ked where his fellow passenger did his shopping.

"We formerly shopped in th~ nearby chain stc.re, but recently we've been go­ing to a Co-op Supermarket located in Greenbelt," was the reply.

"Oh," said Robbie. "And why do You go that far away?"

"Well, my wife and I have ~"hopped in a number of different places, and we have decided the main difference in dif­ferent markets is the matter of service. We like the way the store is kept in Gre~p.belt, and we appreciate the friendly serv1ce of i:he Co-op employees."

That bouquet for our employees gives us Co-op members a pleasant glow. All the co-op stores are our stores and your sto

Ellen Linson To Direct County Pageant: Tuesday

Ellen Linson, supervisor of Prince Georges Ccnnty play­grounds, will dirt.ct a pageant "Meet the Forty-eight States" on Tues­day eveninf[, August 29, on the lawn of the Calvert Mansion, 4811 Riverdale Road.

The pageant is being presented by county youngsters who have been attending the 14 playgrounds sponsored this summer 1:>y the County Recrea.tion Board. It will depict the contribution ··14 states or territories hav·e made toward the building of America.

LIBRARY -from page 1 three-year-old county library con­taim;. .2(),000 books ior a county pop­ulation of 190,000. Greenbelt's population of 1122 that figure has a library of 1?.,000 books which would automatically be put at the disposal of the county upon affiliation with the county system. Also, the coun­ty budget per library is necessarily much less than that which has been used to maintain Greenbelt's, and a ,;;tbstantial sur-plement would be necessary to continue such rnainte­JJance.

Dr. Larsen concludes his letter with the foll<,wing statement: "Af­filiation now, without doubt, would strengthen the county system but temporarily might reduce the li­brary services rendered for Green­belt." .

When the budget is brought up for approval in the fall, the possi­bility of joining the county set-up will be considered again by the council.
