The owners reported that there was no immediate prc3pect of industry mov!ng in. Harry A. Boswell, co-owner of one of the parcels of land, said that the city council should do everything possi- ble to make the community more attractive to industry and to im- prove land values instead of think- ing in terms of a brochure. He referred particularly to the un- s:ghtly defense housing (frame homes) along the Southway en- trance and thE' Baltimore Parkway.

Pollin. the own- er of the other portion of the land. Mensh said that industrial firms were less concerned about the tax rate than with what services are provided through taxes. If n•lt :provided by the municipality, then the firm must itself go to the ex- pense of subsidizing such services for its employees.

>apply their talents and wisdom to !he improvement of Greenbelt ·~ lts citizens. ·

· ltecent ~lections have been noted for their serenity. They :have. h,sd no real .. issues", and the comparatively few candidates ba:ve diisp~yed the vigor and eagerness of a 'torpid turtle. Also the turnover of councilmen has been consistently small, with-few -~ faces seen on each succeeding council. The last two years,

1 bo\vever, have been marked by a major turnover in local popula­.tiona. There are two new housing developments, and many old­-time residents have moYed from our city. Greenbelt's face and 'figure ·have been changing, slowly but sureJy. .... '

The ideal council reflects all views current in the commuttity. · · ·· 'It acts ·on policy and programs to 'bring +he most possible benefits

for the greatest majority. It is responsive to the individual's needs ·as well.&S to eommunity desires And like an individual, the c:>m­. :munity's. needs a:td desires change from year to year. There are ..ne,.,... problems, new aproaches and new answers.

. Nothing inspires citizenship so much as participation. The . 'democratiC process encourages participation. Greenbelt is happily ·endowed with a wealth of talent from many fields of endeavor, many of our citizens would make great contributions to the com­munity if given the chance.

.. · . City council elections are quickly approaching. There is little .• 1 ;'itime until September. It is now that Greenbelt residents should

. !be giving serious thought to running for office or encouraging 1qualified candidates to throw their hats In the ring.

L'il Leaguers Stage Sixth All-Star Game

By J. U. Acker

Last Sunday, July 21, a ·goodly

nt•mber of G~enbelters were treat­ed to some very fine baseball flS

the. Little League staged its sixth annual all-star game. It was strictly a pitchers' day; the six

boys who worked on the mound wc:re migl'~ty stingy with hits. The

hurler:1 for the Nat.ionai. League

were Phil Mill~r. Dan Henderson, and Lou Carusso. The American League bo:;s relied on the strong

arms of Tommy Arnsdorf, Kirk

McCawley, and Ken Powell.

George Fleshman, an Indian, scored the or.ly run of the game in the bottom of 'the third. He ar­rived at first on an error, wa·s sacriti~ed to second, took tdird on

. an infield chance, and scored on ·a clean single down the middle by Phil Miller. As the game progress­ed, thut one run loomed bigger and bigger.

The g-ame was tight, and there w~re many fine defensive pl~­a run cut off at nome, two quick double plays, and several fine out­field catches. Each "all-star" brought nothing but credit to hifl team, the Little League, and Green­belt

Helpful Hints For Back-Seal-Drivers

"taking char:tces" were accepted by both sexes a.bout fifty per cent of the time. As this type of sugges­tion implies a direct criticism of the driver's skill a=td judgment~ most preferred not to be qu&stioned on it uy the '"hack seat driver." Here again more favorable re­sponse was obtained by the "fifth column"' than the "blitzkreig" ap­proach.

July 25, 1957 GREENBELT NEWS REVIEW Three ---~--~----------------~---- ~~-w~·~~~-~-~-~~~-~-~~~-~-~-~--~$~-~-·~.,~~A-,~~~~

"Watch out-you'll kill us all driving like that." said the wife in the back ·seat clutching the c!:lii­dren "to her side.

"Oh, shut-up,' said the husband, as he gripped the steering wheel tighter and pressed the gas pedal closer to thE': floor.

.Just such tableaus are enacted each d&y as families spin along the nation's highways with "'back seat" riders lashing the horseless-carri­age driver with unkind remarks.

But the "back seat driver," in­stea6 (If being a thorn in the opera­tor's back, needling him with caus­tic comment, can be a valuable co­pilot, 2.ccording to an Institute For Safer :Living survey.

Six-hul"'dred couples across the nation were interviewed on their spouses' "back seat driving" tech­niques ..

Advice from wife to hu&band be­ginning with "honey" was much better received than the sam.e sug­gestion prefaced by ''Look, Buster,'' the stJ rvey showed. -

If the advice was given sympa­thetically and wisely, it could be a great force for automotive sa:fety, the C<l·Uples agreed.

In a total of 2,7~ emergency "calls" remembered by the drivers as coming from the "back seat" nearly a thousand of these helped avoid accidents or traftic viola­tions.

WhE·n men arP. in the back seat, they not orly call the attention of their wives to oncoming c'l.anger but also tell them how to handle the situation. Women, the Institute surve) shows, seem willing to let hubby handle the situation after calling his attention to the trouble.

But· if either spouse was thought to be trying to get even for the morning's burnt toast rather than teying to heJ.p the ·driver, the "sug­gestion' usually wasn't accepted:

The survey uncovered these ·lead­ing "a.lerts" given most frequently'. by "back seat drivers."

Spe~~d was the most common cause of comment. Indication of the value of this comment comes from the fact that the suggestion was taken favorably twice as often by both sexes as it was rejected. B"ut tact was necessary, or it was usually ignored.

The second most frequently.' made comment was on following the Cltr ahead too closely. But the warning, "Don't crawl up his back," hardl~r helps matters. Wben the suggestion was made diplomatical­ly to a spouse, it was considered favorably forty per cent of the time--helping to avoid a pileup of cars on the highway.

OnE· {)f the best accepted sug­gesti<; ns of all, the survey showed, was a. comment about a driver's tiredne~s. Here again the "Honey, you'v•e bad a hard day" approach was Jnuch better than "Hey, dt..,Jey, wake up."

The Greenbelt Ba~ Ruth League All-Stars won their first game in the Maryland State Tournament by forfeit from Elkton. The team plays in the semi-finals on Friday, July 26. at 4:30 on the Glenn L. Martin Field in Baltimore. Mem-

Arthur S. .Johnson. director of the Institute. believes all of these back-seat comments are good, be­cause they follow the principle that four eyes &J1Ld four ears are better than two.

.Johnson stated that if .. back seat" drivers will '!'emove the .. sting" from their tongues and substitute Ctlurteous warning or suggestions, they will help cut the accident toll on the highways by becoming valu­able co-pilo1ts.

. bers of the All-Star tee.rn are Jim Mundy, Bill Steele, Denny MQore, Junior Schosslcr, Neil Vaughn, Joe Cawley. Nolan Miller, Fran Day, Jack O'Neill, Frady Ailstock, Alex Chaured, Wilson Rowe, John 'ruc­ker. Bernie Emmert, and Arlan<i Sandnik. The team is coached by Joe Montgomery.

Business Review By Cbuek Boyntoll

Greenbelt Realty Company was founded in 1954 by Abe Chasanow. Located in what once was our po­lice station (151 Centerway), Greenbelt Realty has prospered in its yee.ra of activity. Abe and his wife, Helen, who is also &ctive in their real estate venture, were among the original "local" resi­dents to engage in business in Greenbelt. as well as being among the first to open their doors for commercial business in the Cen­ter. Since 1939 they have been liv­ing R-t 11-T Ridge.

The Chasanows, who envision re­maining Greenbelters fo:- some time, are now planning a home at the Lakeside d~velopment, which is expected to be ready for occu­pancy by this fall. The Lakeside development, incidentally, is one of Abe's many enterprises. He in-

. forms us that only seven lots are still available for those who might be contem;plating a home in that a!'ea. Depending on size and lo­cation, these ;ary in pri~ from $2700 to $3600.

Homes constructed or under con­struction in that area, to date, run from $18,000 to $45.000. Abe also has been cooperating with the Woodland Hills development, which at last report had only twelve lots remaining, ranging in price from $2900 to $3400. Homes at Wood­land run from $16,000 to $2.1,000. Of interest to prosnective buyers is the advantage of having costs in storm sewers and paved roads in­cluded in the price of the lots. Buyers ma.y choose their own plans for homes constructed on the lots, and. if they detoire. do their own contracting or build themselves.

Acting as gene.-al counsel, Abe was responsible for setting •lp our Greenbelt Veteran Housing Cor·· poration. as well as its predeces­sors. He is currently th.e agent for Gilbert Realty· Co., which handles the commercial property in the ~Pn,ter. As such, he is responsible for insuring that the best possible tenants are located in this area.

Richard Talbert, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Talbert, 60-A Crescent, and Miss J'une Ramey, daughter of Mrs. Marie Sullivan of Washing­ton. D. C. were married in St. Anthony's Catholic Church on Saturday, .iune 22.. Rev . .John Ecc­leston performed the wedding ceremony. The bride was given in marringe by her uncle, Sylvester Kalpack. Sibyl Sullivan, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and the best man was Ro~rt Talbert, brother of the goom.

The bride was charming in her wedding gown of ballerina length white embroidered lace featuring a sweetheart neckline and bouffa'llt skirt. Her veil of illusion was held by a tiara of seed pearls. The maid of honor ·wore pale lavender also fashioned in the bouffant stylE':. The mother of the groom was attired in pastel pink sheer while the bride's mother chose natural in a sheer fabric.

Following the wedding ceremony, a reception was held in the VFW Hall on Rhode Island Ave:nue. The couple is now living at 7-B Park-way.

A participator in many sports car rallies, and formerly a member of 'rbe MG C:ub of America, Vic is •3wner of an impeccable 19-i8 MG 'TC which he bas restored to its ultimate capacity. •l'be rallies sound like great fun, being com­petition in efficient motoring by ar­rlvi:rtg at a given point on time, plut: having the correct speed average. V&gUe maps are handed out at the start of the rally with a few recognizable points located on· the paper at different places. It is the_n up to the drivers and navigators of the sport cars, who leave the point of origination at intervals to reach these points at spedfied _times. The team with the most points wins.

PRINCE GEORGE;S COUNiY­MEMORIJ\L LIBR.,~.RY

Whatever happens •••

By RUM Greenbaum

C"lntinuing my special series of or!entation lectures to newcomers to Gref"nbelt (or just stay a while --you might get tt> like it), this weoek I shall describe one of our mnst sacred and traditional insti­tutions-the car pool. The Wash­ingtcn a~ea probably has the larg­est concentration of car pools than an:'\owhere else ·in the world. and Greenbelt supplies more of them than any other community in the area. I believe there's hardly any major government building that does not have a Greenbelt car pool going there--kbe Navy Dept .. Pen­tagon, State Dept., Government Printing Office, Sam's Bar & Grill <it's really a CIA building).

--Genera.lly there are two kinds of car pool. The most popular kind is the drivers' pool in which each member shares the driving-usual­lv each porson driving once a week. Then there is the riders' pool in which one person drives in every day with passengers whom he chAT<"f!S n nr,minal tee. (A nominal fP.f'> means: "If you don't like what I charge. you can walk!'') Both hnv .. the:r Advan"&ges and dis~<i­va..,tages which the newcomer will wRnt to consider carefully before tak'ng- th~ plun~.

• •• Remember to Res~~tej'!

A drivE-rs· pool Is frr.qu~ntly run hv OJ'P, person who bas bePn for­tunRt~ enough to obts!n thAt prPc­ious ni~>Ce of cardboard known as " parking permit. This entitles the holiif!r to park his car fr~ of ch:tr<>'e in .a lot within one mile of the buildin!Z. This is particularly true of the Navy Dept., which firm­Jv be1ieves that there's nothing lik~> a bri~<k 15-minute morning w~Jk to bring you to your desk fully ale'rt and ready to tackl~

your mCJ•mlng coffee. There are l'ther pf\!"king passes which entitle the holder to park right next to the building, but you have to havf> something on the boss to get one of those .

Now let's consider the advant­~es. By driving one10! a week, you havP frE"e transportation the rest of the w~k and your wife has the use of the car if she drives. I ad­mit this sounds good. but don't be deceived. All these years you've avoided tea~bing your wife how to drhoe ·with the excuse that yo•t need the car so there's no point in her learning. Now there's the car sitting out in back four days a week. Before long you'll be grit­ting you:r teeth as your wife grinds the ge~us from first to second. But maybe she already drives. This is just as bad. With the car not available, your wife thought :noth­ing of the five or ten minute walk to the Center. Now she gets into t"f' car to visit someone in the next court. Don't be surprised if your weekly gas bill is no lower after you join a drivers' pool.

Anoth•!!r apparent advantage is that for· five days a week each morning and evening for aboui: 30-40 minutes each you have a captive audien~! on which you can unleash your stories and witticisms and gripes on what's wrong with Greenbelt. It is also one cof the main lines of the Greenbelt Grape­vine, which carries stories around town ftl.St:er than the speM of sound. Many a <;X)nversation at social gatberingu start with, "Say, I heard in my car pool today that­( choice· of three: 1) the city tax rate is going up, 2) the city tax rate is going down. 3) city tsxes are goi1:1g to be abolished.) Car pool members are also loyal sup­porters. In fact, joining a car pool is a prerequunte if you want to run for any office in town. Well, that should give you some idea of the goodies in store for you Jn a Green­belt car pool. More on this subject later.
