Local Catholics Will Erect Own Church Building

To replace . the moving-picture theatre as a house of worship f,,r Greenbelt Catholics, a new church will be built by the Holy RcdeE~m­t:r Roman Catholic Church, uf which Greenbelt Catholics are E

part, it was announced by Rever­end _Leo J. Fealy last Tuesd'ay evemng at the Shrov~'s Tuesday party hdd at the Element1nv School. ~

Of simple architecture, the n<.>w church will be located on a site JJcar the athletic· field, granted the church by the town, according t.o ~uy Moor~, presidtnt of the Holy ., arne So<;wty. Mr. Moore stressed .he gro~mg need of a Catholic <·hu:z:ch m Greenbelt, calling at. tf:ntion 1:?. the fact tlaat several local fam1hes go to Mass in other communities, if unable to attel"d the one that is held here. With ·a regular .church, he added, sever·al Masses mstead of one can be held each Sunday, giving everyone a ~hance ~ attend. "\Yith the larg~ .ncrease m population due to t.he pefense homes; he said, the necCl 1s doubled. The new Church will be l~rge enough to accomodate ti~e maximum expected increase.

The estimated cost of the chur1·h building will be $20,000. Approlct­mately half o! this, accC?rding to Mr. Moore, wrll be contrrbuted by members of the Holy Name Sod­t-ty,, the balance to be covered by vanou~ sou~ces. The fund-raising ca:mpargn Will not start until aft•er F.aster, leaving the ensuing time if' the laying of a groundwo~·k :ror future plans.

Foremost on th,,~ agenda at the reg11lar meeting- of the Civilian Defense Council Tuesday evening were plans for th•~ Defense Rally to!'IIorrow night.

Aside from the actual proceeds from the sale of tickets, other so•-rces of funds for Civilian De­fen,.;e were reported, namely: the :,-ale of this issue of the Coopera­tor; the popularity contust; and the sale of salvaged newspapers.

The police department reported that tJ~eir force has completed first aid courses and is now delv­in"< into jui-jit.<>u methods of com­b.e~t. N•ew classf.!s are now being f•n·rned to, train auxiliary police ar.rl firemen, it was also reported. __ ,,-~,---------..,

Mrs. Roosevelt Will Address Bally Tomorrow Night ill Auditorium;· $1000 Sought Por Delease Needs

Star attraction at Greenbelt's first Defense Rally, Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt is expected to draw Greenbelt's greatest turn0ut tomorrow ni&ht in the auditorium, in an event designed to raise $1,000 for local defense require­ments. Sponsors of the meeting are confident that this goal will be easily surpassed as Greenbelt's citizens respond to the appeal for ·funds to equip five first-aid stations and supply needed materials for the town's auxiliary police and firemen.

Prof. Scha.rffenberg, Rarly Speaker, Saw/

Jap Atrocities Prof. W. A. Scharft'enberg, noted

lecturer who will appear on the platform at the Defense Rally has a background that should make him an authority on his subject, "The War In The Pacific.''

Professor Scharft'enberg, is a :toted Oriental linguist, being the first foreigner to complete the prescribed course of study m Chinese as outlined by the Uni­versity of Nanking. He is the for­mer Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies in Shanghai, hr.d has rece.ntly returned from 22 years in the Far East. He was in Mukden when the Japanese to~k over Manchuria. When the E.l\.­clusion act was passed, Professor Scharft'enberg was in Japan ami got a personal reaction to the anti­American movement that was cre­ated. at that time.

His 22 years in the Ch·ient gave },im an opportunity to gather firbt hand informat!on on the economic, social and political conditions m the Orient. He has travelled ex­tensively through China, Japar., K o r e a, Manchuria, Mongolia, I;rench Indo-China, Siam, Straits Settlements, Borneo, Dutch East Indies and the Philippines.

From this extensive background, it is apparent that Professor Scharffenberg is well fitted to enlighted Greenbelt tomorrow l-ight on what Japan means by l:er New Order in the Far East, what Japan wants, the course of recent events, and the whys and ,-.. tereforeli of her action against the United States.

35 Measles Cases Dr. Eisner Reports;.

Cautions Parents An outbreak of measles has r~­

sulted in the illness ane confine­ment of 35 Greenbelt children, ac­cording to Dr. William Eisnt!r, the majority of the cases being f,rst-grade pupils.

Describing the cases so far as being "moderately severe," Dt·. Eisner said they were common at this time of year, and cautioncu r.arents to keep children with colds at home, and aw;.n· from other children, to prevent the di!-· e&se from spreading further.

Mrs. Charlotte 'Vagner, nursery school instructor, has been added to the pt: .. manent teaching staff <>t the elementary school to conduct " class from group two.

Talk on Far Ead

Professor W. A. Scharfrenberg~ described by his sponsors as ~n authority on the Far East. will en­lighten the audience on Japanese ambitions in the present war, in a talk on "The Battle of the Pa­cific".-

Mrs. Roosevelt, appearing to-­wards the end of the program, will discuss civilian defense and is expected to a,t least partially answer the critics of her recent activities in the Office of Civilian Defense. ·

The seriousness of the evening-will be o:ffset by dancing to music- -.;.!. by Joe Baldwin's Orchestra. Band·' · . • · r music, With a ~up of pa~ <-'f ''''"-4lt1#'" ' songs, is programmed under the · ; directorship of Paul J. Garrett.

W-k• of Preparation In the hackground of tomorrow

night's Rally, are weeks of pre-· paration by Greenbelt's various; defense groups. The event will hardly be a starter for Gn!enbelt: in the field of defense activitie-s, " it was stressed by active partici-pants in the Rally, who point to the comparatively advanced staJte of the town's preparedness. ·

Regular air-raid drills by the · · local orecautionalY organizations. together with the perpetual state of vigilance niaintarned by air-raid spotters atop the drug store are evidences that tomorrow's lund­raising afl'air is a supplement te a well-organized and smoothly­working defense set-up.

According to Director of Public Safety George Panagoulis, there are at present 25 auxiliary police­men, 20 firemen, 250 first-aid stu-

• dents, 80 air-raid wardens, and 1'6 motor corps members, actively en- · gaged in Greenbelt defense work An order for arm bands has been placed with 0. C. D., for emer­gency air-raid duty.

No Fund; A, ailable The fact was pointed out that

in spite of an· expanded defense progi-am Greenbc:; groups have been operating with no funds whatever. All supplies ih use by air-raid precautionary groups. are regular police and fire equipment. There is no first-aid e<,uipment on hiind in Greenbelt at the o.:esent time. A minimum of $200 is neeti­ed immediately to provide basic supplies for five first-aid stations. Because of an enoneous imprell'­sion caused by the announcement that the Town Council has en­cumbered $1500 for defense pur­poses, the Defense CouncH has asked the Cooperator to explain that none of this money is now available, but has been earmarked for possible future use.

Arthur L. Rysticken, command­er of the Greenbelt Citizens De­fensr. Corps, will report on Green­belt Civilian Defense at tomorrow night's meeting. The Reverend Wilmer P. Johnston, minister of Greenbelt's Community Church, will deliver the invocation, and Reverend Leo J. Fealy the' beue­dil'tion at the close of the Rally.

Expected to provide entertain­ment relief is tile contest for "Miss Defense, 1942", the winner of which 'will he announced at the stroke of midnight. PartSci­pation in the contest has been

Must We Do 1'hi~~ ~g,tzin) Time and time aga11n, w·e hav•~ called upon the people of

Hr:eenbelt to cooperate in putting ov·er various ideas a:Rd drives. We have nevel' y-et achic!ved 100 per cent coopera­tion nor have we ever in the pHst expec~ted that everyone would agree whole-heartedly to the idea& set fo)'th. We have plugged at various cooperatives, organizaMons, and groups, with the thought in mind that, since we arE! a nation and communit_y of indliviclualistn, not every pel"8on would or could believe in the idE!als set; fortlrl.

We have been, in the ]past few weeks, plugging a cause that to any fair.:.minded American holds no room for dis­sension or non-belief, nam4ely, tho Civilian Defense program for Greenbelt.

. With the cisastera of F'earl Harbor, the Philippines, and Singapore so very fresh in our miml;:;, anything we can add to the emergency of the cause would be merely idle phrases. In view of this, it is beyond comprehension that any person or persons in Greeubelt would refuse to support their own protection in the form of our defense corps. But the fact remains that in the early part of thiis week, the ticket sales report for the Defense Rally were very discouraging.

We are writing this on the basis of that report, with the hope that, in the final analysis, we will have to eat these words. But, if all indications are not completely erroneous, we are faced with a diagraceful situation. . Do you, Mr. and Mrs. Greenbelt, reali~e that: the at­titude evidenced in the sale of these Defense Ran v tickets has been and is a major cause of the set-b:acks of th~ United Nat_ions cause? Complacency and smugness are the great.eRt tools that Hitler and his stooges can possibly use and they are doing everything to foster th.at among the nations they are trying to enslave.· Throughout the x·ecent reverses in the Far East, the thought that we cannot lose or "It Can't Happen Here" has been more important than the Btrength­ening of the defenses. Thd very 8ame thought in Greenbelt will be the cause of the loss of many a life a.nd home in the bombing raids that should bE! expected.

Your dollar wi!l do more than an;~rthing outside~· of your personal activities in preventin~: serious loss and wiH do more than anything to save your· life and your home. Your dollar will buy the end to s.mun·nesB anc:<~ comp}a,r~ency in Greenbelt. Your dollar i3 the symbol of the spirit o:!' the American people to defend, whatever the cost: may be. our precious heritage of life and lib•~rty. Buy your ticket now and be safe in the knowledge that you have done at least part of your duty to yourself and. to your comm'unity.

Waste CollectioTJ Tomo1·row The salvage crew will again collect newspapers and

magazines, scrap iron and \>ther metals. tomorrow. ~";:;.st Saturday marked the first collection, and many residents notified us that they had been missed.

The salvage collectors have asked that all :newspll~J)ers and magazines be tied in bundles, and placed at the edge of the street or drivewiLY m!arest your home, for this second pick-up.

Here is a chance to clean out that attic or clo~.et, and at the same time help yourself win the war.

Mil/eing Time Once More Increases in the price of milk are becoming a habit for

the Washington area. The dairy interests are at it &gain, and hearings were being held by the Department of Agri­culture to see if the price of milk <'an be raised anot:her ~ent per quart for local consumers.

Needless to point out again, another boost in priCE! will probably reduce consumption of this health-building fo~d at a time when proper nutrition is being urged throuf:hout the land.

To tht'! several Greenbelt housewives who took the floor as witnesses ·in protest of the price inc~ease threat last week-our gratitude. It is good to know that someonE:: is

· in there fighting whille the rest of us sit at home and bemoan rising prices.

~Parent-T eachcrs Association ~o org-anization in Greenbelt has for its theme a more vital one

than that- adopU!d by the Parent-Teachers Association, namely, "Ex­pandin~r Resources-A Shared Responsibility". Your P-T.A. sponsors a dual program in its current work; first, regular monthly meetings through which are worked out methods of expanding resources by means of library, visual aid and excursions; and secondly, interpreta­t:ion of the work accomplished at the culmination of units through especially called home room meetings.

Regular mtetings are held on the fourth Monday of each month and the meeting February 23 is to demonstrate the educational use of school motion picture projection, with Robert Howey assisting. A movie made during last year's work at school will be shown.

Gre:mbelt Parent-TeacherlO Association was organized shortly after the opening of the Elemeutary School in 1937 and now bas about 150 memtcrs. Qualification for membership is simply a love of children and a11 inte1·est in their welfare. One does not need to be either a parent or a teacher. A single membership costs but 25 cents for the. s·chool y('ar, part of which goes to promote national P-T.A. work and jll\!'t of which is kept in Greenbelt for I:'<Chool expenses.

Two of 1~he most impor+..ant subject<; under discussion at present are a hi~;her wage scale for teachers and the adoption of the "6-3-3" plan. Thi,; i~ the elementary schqol of six years, supplemenU!d by a three y~~ar .itmior high ancl three year senior high school set-up.

OUR NEIGHBORS

By SALLY MEREDITH Do you have your Rally ticket

yet? If you haven't, save your money and buy it at the door to­morrow night. They're selling them there, too. I can hardly wait to see and hear Mrs. Roosevelt. I hope abe's as wonderful as everl_­one teUs me she is. Then, too, I m rather anxinus about the outcome ot the popularity contest. So "far cthat is, as of Tuesday night) our candidate, Joan McNamara, i& ahead. Joan's a swell girl a111d evi­dently we're not the only one-r. who think so! Of course, th~ dance will be fun. I hear t;hat Joe Bald­win's orchestra-a six-piece aft'a1r ·-is very good. Several Green­belters lmve told me of dnncing to their music. Perhaps tht~ spot of the program tha.t will app~;!al most to the intellect will be thP. address by Profe98<)r Scharft'tm­))e!"g, on "The War i:n the Pacifi•t:." He ought to know about it, he'::. &n expert on the Far East.

Say, ladies, don't you have an hour or two a Wet!k that you'd be willing to gave t.:.. the Ciivilian Defense preparatio:ns? S11otter:s aro very badly needed for th•e d11~y­time, and since the men are .!Lit working at that time, it's up to Ul> to help.

I HighSchool Chatter I By JOAN McNAMARA

Hi there!-Not that I'm being unpatriotic

in the least, but, really, this day­hght saving racket is beginnim~ tt• gEt me down.-We start for schod whHe the moon's still out. How t¥lromantic! But there's always that extra hour after school, sv who.t have we got to lose?

Well, guess what? Both of our basketball teams beat M.t. Rainier High last Friday night. L(!t's h•:>pe t.he boys keep up that uolid pJey­ing for the rest of Ule s•~ason, lmd as for the girls-well-tley're just ped(ld!

One of· ou:r latest clubs at the sch•JOl, the Charm club, held it'11 firs·~ meeting last ·wednesday and ele~:ted o11icer!:" as follows: Prt!Si­dent--Rosalie Poston: Vice Pns!­den~.ane Jones; S•:!<:retary­Helen ZoeHner, and al140 a pro­:&I'l'~m conunitt;ee consisting of such wel.l-known students as Janet Neff, Shirley Cushing, Helen Zoellner, Lorrain•e Mullen, and Mary Lowe. For the :remainder of the period, Wt:~ discus:il:!d the various thing& th.at are inc:luded in a charm club. .o'\.t: the pr.•~nent, we are trying to i!~el: a , he·nutkian to speak before 'Lh~~ cla;ss as s<:~on as possible.

Two n•eYr students werE:: welcom­ti!d to our h·umble abode last week. JR.obert 8wales and Tom Bucan­l!ta.n, both of Belts,me. (See, I 1~ld you our school was expand­ing',)

Don'i: Say I Told You, But ........ Nope! N·o•t a blessed thing in the JiM, of ~liiJrt for 'this week-believe it o-r not. It j 11st doesn't seem like Greenbdt without the gossip, does it? B111t miracles DO happen y'know. (A~d unless I miss my gw:~ss, du~re. will be plenty of cat-talk next we~:k) ·

f.1lew G.C.S. Policy l ... imits J-:> atronage 1·'o Shateholders The poli<:y ol' requ1rmg a person

to h:tvest $10 for the purchase of u voting share in Greeubelt Co:n­Humo;,r Services i>efore he i:; eligible :for a patronage return does n•)t apply to the 1941 patron~tg·e re-· turn, it wa~! reiterated by a spokt:;:;­man for the cc><:.perative last week.

The membership, at it..'l annual meeting E·arly this month, over· whelmingly voted to amend lhe by·· laws to provide for such a caf>h investment upon the unanimot;s recommendation of its board of di­rectors. Under the new plan a non­member patron who has not pu:r­~hased a share by December 3l, 1942 will have one full year in which to invest the money and rc­l:eive credit for any patronaee re­Jfund due him.

Also adopted by the membership was a policy, likewise recommend­t.'<i b)'! the boa-rd, requiring a mini· mum share holding of $30 per ac­count below which cash may not be withdrawn except in circum­stances which the board deems ad­equate.

Board members have pointed out to the membership that the ~o­operative must strengthen its fi­r.ancial structure. Retirement of the debt t-..o Consumer Distribution Corporation and providing- goods and services for an expanded pop­ulation are some of the reason;5-advanced by directors for addition­al capital.

Because some ~rsons who are cont.emplatinJ moving as a result of decentrahzation plans of the Government and are or will lx. credited with leas than $10 for pat­;:onage refunds are confused about tl.ese requirements. the cooperathe issued the above explanation of the situation.

"Putting cash into G.C.S. is an investment, returnable to the in­vestor, but efforts are being marie to protect the investment of the entire membership," one director­stated for the paper this week.

"You would be amazed at .some of the reasons given to the board for requesting withdrawal," t!tated <'lie of the directors at the unnu::ll meeting. 1\lany shares, obtain~:: solely from patronage refund cred­its, have been withdrawn upon the l!llightest pretext, thereby reduc·· ing the cap.ital stock of the . co .. operative.

How to •- leaa aaaar In order to conserve sugar, the

U. S. Bureau of Home Economics makes these practical suggestions:

Tr)· leas sugar in your coffee and tea. Many people now prefer these beverages without any sugar. In any case, stir up well the sugar you use in coft'ee and tea. Sugar doesn't·sweeten your drink if you le2ve it unstirred at the bottom of the cup.

Make fewer desserts that re­ouire sweetening with sugar. .Fresh fruit salad is one dessert. that has plenty of natural sugar.

Dried fruits such as raisins, d2tes, figs, prunes, peaches, ap­pricots, and others are rich in sugar and should be eaten with breakfast cereal, in desserts and in place of candy, to save sugar.

Fresh fruits are rich in sugar content and should be used ex-tensively. •

The candy, ice cream, chewing gum, and soda you have during the day all contain sugar. If you use much of them, the sweetening in them gives you energy.

cf meat to use for 'hot bortsch is • breast of·beef and the a.ccompany­

ing bone. (Most of the fat should be trimmed off.) . 1~ to 2•1bs of beef 1 small eabbage 1 can· of grade "C" tomatoes two or three beets (n~rt absolute-·

lnh·igue threatens Voorllis-Wagner BiD

By JOHN CARSON Political intrigue threatens the

Voorhis-Wagner Bill to ~r·eate a post-war economic commission. Only a determined and unrelenting demand from consumers and froM the "public" will save the resoh .. -tion and the proposal to do a non­political and sound post-war econ­omic planning job from failure.

Congressman Robert Jlamspeck, chainnan of a subcommitte of the House Committee on Labor, this week got the Voorhis resolution favorably reported by his sub­committee. Enthusium developed. Only a favorable report from tbe entire Labor Comm1tte·e was then ~{!~qeq to get th~ 5ssue intc) the House.

Suddenly, ConJ,~essrnan James M. Barnes of Illinois bobbed up with a resolution w create a House Committee which would attempt to study the post-war problems. And just as "suddenly" the DemocratiC leaders of the House began to manifest great intere:;;t in the Barnes resolution. It was "ott" this sudden interest that the foul smell of political intrigue arose. There is reason and fact to sub­stantiate and sup];:tort the be:lief today that the D~:mocrntic Ilm1se leadership, either thro1:1gh iJfnor­ance or because of some questi•ln­able desit,on is dete:rmine·d to have the Barnes resolution adopted and thus sidetrack interest in the othe1· proposals.

The Ramspeck rElport sustained everything that had been. contend­ed by The Cooperativt~ League and all otherjublic groups which had supporte the VoOJrhis-W;:~.g­ner proposal. Ramspeck urged the ereati<~n of a Commission of thr·~e Senators, three Congressmen and three representatives of ·execut;ve departments along with thnle "from organizations of co•nsumers, at least two of w:hom shall Jbp from associations of consumer co-· operatives", and three from or­ganizations of fanners, labor, busi­ness, banks, church organizations anJ from educational ass()·ciationJ. He also proposed -.that eaeh of these groups should submit three nominations to the President for each appointment to be :made.

Ramspeck heard nil the testi­mony on this proposal. He did not begin his inquiry with amr preju­dice. In fact, at the outset of the hearing he was disposed to 'feel t h e commi8eidn PTOpoaed by Voorhis would be too curnbersome and that the ''public" rept·esenta­tion was not needed. But Ram­speck saw, quiekly, the sound

•reasoning behind the 'Voorhis pro­posal and that, as The Cooperative League had contended, "public" representatiOn was needed to bt­spire public ~upport a111d public In­terest and public confidence. Then he beu.me one of the :atost ardent advocates of the Voorhis prc>J)91181.

F..arly in the consideration of the Voorhis-Wagner Pr«?posal,. soJ.fte job-holders in tbe National Re­sources Plannlftl' B o a r d , an agency in the P.xecutive depart­ment of the governme,nt, carried on subvel'llive activities agaiJUtt the resolution. They_ '1!1/'4lN frank in their. e~reqiobs of doubt alt<'&t the futur. power of the lelti~llatjve branch of cover!dn~flt and l:-&tller determined to ~ -power for themselv~a and their l3oard, and their job{l. Bu$ 111u~l1' actiivitiee diminished ftnallt and their OPP9-sition was hushed arttl opportunity waa oft'ered for f~ and fair consideration of the Vo•CJrhia­Wagner »!art. , WhY Congressman Bartte~l and the flou~ Demoetatic lead1!rs stepged into tbis s1wation is a quelfl;ion ai;Sll. l*ost *ar planning has become a much discus,sed sub­ject in many pieces in WashinJ­ton :teeently and partieularlty m executive departments. Suspicion that some of these depal'l~ment job­holders we:re !!'till active in a~sabo­tage campaijn against tt•e ·voor­his..,Wagnei" proposal and that that would explam t.lte interest in the Barnt:!R resolution was not borne out. On the contrary, some oj: the supporters of the Bames re:solu­tion are emphatic in their op·po.si­tion to the "executive departments of the government". ll:ut what­ever may be the motiv4~s· behind the Barnes resolution, th~ fact is that sound post-war planning is threatened now by political in­trigue.

It is reported that potato ra­tions in one section of Belgium were not distributed for an entire month. Exhorftitant black market prices also pre,·ail there, with even cats bringing 40 franca apiece.
