Bryut Begins Rome Delivery 01 Mail July 2

Home mail delivery for residents of Greenbelt began yesterday even though all arrangements for the new service had not bt!en fully completed. Earlier this week Post­master George Bryant said that he was anticipating a delay of from 10 days to two weeks.

Deliveries begin at 9 a. m. and 2 p. m. daily except Sunday, with two carriers on duty at present. Mr. Bryant is of the opinion that others will have to be added soon.

All homes are being served, even those with the unusually low mail slots. Mr. Bryant said tie ex­pected theRe to be remedh~d short-

.ly. "In a week or two w·~ should have our problems solved," he told the Cooperator last night.

Several Difficulties Remain Changes must be made m the

poRt office, new equipment whieh has been ordered hus not yet ar­rived, and an add it ion must i•<· made to the office personnel. A;~~~. the.re must be chanJ,:"es ;nade in the mail boxes in some of th( houses, particularly those in block D where the slots are too low to meet Government reg-ulntion~ which specify that the slots must be ao inches from tht• flOOI'. Aii­othet• difficulty is that keys atT missinJr for som<~ of the mail boxes in apartments.

There arc no boxes or slut!' of any sort for the defemw ilome:.. Cards have been sent to pct·,.ons living in thtost• homes advh•ing them that the Variety Ston• has on hand a large number of boxes which may be put·chus1.>tl for 2~1 cen~ and which will be in!!tft.llcd free of cilat·ge by the town. Thes1~ boxe!' were originally to be sold only on Monday and Tut:'sdu)· of this past week, but may still b«! bought.

For the first time Greenbelt will see on display its full civilian protection when all unjts of the Civilian Defen~e Corps and the new Greenbelt Company of Maryland Minute Men march in th«! July 4th parade.

There will be no fireworks to celebrate Independence Day in Greenbelt, this year, but in addition to the parade there will be a pro.gram of games and contests for children, and a rally in t~e j:!vening at the handball court back of the swimming pool.

It's Time To Cc~t Started For the last three years Greenbelt has ~ad a town fair in

September as the outstanding annual event for this com­munity. Wallace Mabee was chairmar. for the first two, and. Harry Rhodes took charge of the 1941 fair. Septembet· 1942 is eight weeks off and no plans have been announced so far for this year's fair.

Our town fairs ha\'~ been marked by a novel freedom from commercialism. Exhibits have been given over tu town activW·es~ the work of the many clubs and organiza­tions here, garden and craft displays, and an elaborate program of entertainment. The three-day show:1 have brought great, throngs of visitors from out of town a~ well as the attendance of all Greenbelters. Compliments ha\·;3 been profuse.

Naturally 'the town fair requires a tremendous expen­diture of time and effort by a few individuals, although thtJ money cost is usually low. In past years the summer months. have been pointed up towards the September display for Greenbelt's gardener~1, fruit and vegetable canner:-;, and all interested in hand1icraft.

Rather than discourage a town fair the war should stimulate our one big demonstration of home talent. Thi,; is the sort of local entertainment and morale builder we need. Our fair is a picture of a democratic community at work.

We are late starting this year. Usually our work on the fair begins in May. 'rhere are still eight week~ left f.n· preparations and we can do the job ill that time if we want the fair badly enough. The Town Council is expected to meet July 13, and will consider fair plans at that time, we are informed. If you want the fair this year bring yout· ideas to this meeting.

The town fair is a rnuat on Greenbelt's 1942 calendar. • 'I

Victory /or the Weeds Now our gardens have reached the dh·idend stage.

and beets, carrots and beans are rewarding our sweat and toil of last month. A quick tour reveals that thi:or. year·~ gardens are the best t~ver set:m in Greenbelt. High pric~·s

·and the war effort have been sufficient stimulw; in mo8t cases to keep the amateur gardeners at work again:;;t the weeds and the insects. By this time the nev•comers to the toil of the soil know that the secret of the "green thumb .. is hard work.

A very few gardens have that deserted look that come!\ when the owners flee before the invaders. Perhaps the dis­couragd onei could be induced to return to the scene of their labors and spend an evening or two reclaiming theh· victory gardens in timt:! for some vegetables. Or is it to be a victory for the weeds?

Craft Classes The handicraft clauses which start Monday in room 120

of the' Elementary School at 2 o'clock will round out com­plete recreaqon program for Greenbelt's younger people this summer.

Games, basket-weaving, sewing, and a number of other activities will answer the occasional complaint that our children have no out-of-school program except sports. AH of us hope to see the handicraft groups welcomed by both parents and children.

Use the Parking Lot Cars crippled by fniling tires, lack of gasoline or other

war restrictions are beginning to accumulate in parking space~ along Greenbelt streets. At least one, unused ~ince 1941, has been reported to the local police with a suggestion that it be moved to thf! general parking area. \V e endor!'le the suggestjon.

Siren Mixup \\.hen we are told to di . .;regard Greenbelt's air raid

sirens during regular t<•sts Saturday morning and then when we have a practice air raid Saturday morning we can be forgiv<>n for a certain amount of confusion.

Our in=-tructions have been clartned a little now. Thei·~ will be a regular ~iren test at 11 a. m. each Saturday. We are to ignon' it, unleaa '"''<• ha,·e been informed by news­papers and r<,dio that there will be an actual air raid test at that time. (\

\\·e are still uncertain what we are supposed to do if an actual raid -.hould occur at thb particular time, but we pre­sume that i:-; a remote pogsibility. Anyway, if you hear planes . dropping bombs some Saturday morning at 11 o'clock ~·ou will kr\ow it is not a test but the real thing. B~ sun• to <:all in the children if that happens.

Siren Test Saturday Causes Confusion

In explaining the mix-up last Saturday.about the blowing of t~e. air-raid sirens, George Pa~agouhs, chief air-raid warden, said . Mon­day that an order had bee~ Issued asking that all Maryland sJ>:"ens be tested each Saturday at 11 a. m. Last week, however, after the "Cooperator" went tc press, the order was received that Green­belt along with the rest of the Wa~hington area, would also have a regular air-raid test. . In th_e future said Mr. Panagouhs, resi­dents .:nay be guided by the news­papers and radio, as Gre.enbelt-articipates in all . Wa~hmgton

This is tomorrow's yesterday-­'Tis filled with vain regret

For letting selfishness delay The duties to be met.

This is tomorrow's yesterday, The time we meant to do

A helpful deed. a kind work say Before the day was through.

This is tomorrow's yesterda~:. Each precious .fleeti_ng mmute;

Let's use it wisely wh1l~ w~ may, For there is wisdom m rt.

Meyers Heads Gas ·unit

In Defense Corps Max G. Meyers. chief of the

newly organized Greenbelt Ga:< Defense Unit, yesterday called tt.he first meeting- of his volunteer lieutenants, determining meth!>ds of ~vin2' complete covera~e to the town, educating each indi­vidual in proper defense in the event of poison gas attack.

The possibility of such an attack, said Mr. Meyers, while not indicated in the near future, is not remote. Since pobon gas can be fired from machine gum;, cannon, or dropped in bombs frt>m airplanes, and since the enemy has been kn(Jwn to us~ gas in China, and also since our w•~st coast was shelled by submarine recently, the unexpected may be­come the expected.

Present at the organizational meetinJ~; were: Lieutenants Ed~:ar Swi11her, MM!. Eilt>oer. Sheriff. Mi~ Mary McArthur, Mrs. E. W. M'eJ~e­dith, Mrs. A. H. Cline, and Mr!l. Max Meyer. Each of these w·as instructed to re<'ruit volunt<I.'E!r.-; from his neighborho1>d, and to conduct evening classc~s in Jl:'llB protection.

Stressing the fact that so little protectior~ is a\·ailable. Mr. Meven said that what knowledge .there is must be made known to e\·ery-

Swim.ming Pool Is Open Daring Jllly

Greenbelt's swimming pool will continue in operatiOn during the month of July, according to a re­port from Mrs. Doris Armstrong of the Recreation Department.

Sufficient chemicals have bt.~t>ri E~ecured for the treatment of the water for at least one more month and it is hoped that the pool may be kept open during the ent;re swimming season. Admission ratt!s will continue the same as during the past month.

A concrete walk is being laid along the outside of the fenct.1 ~urrounding the swzmming pocl. Due to the large number o! per­sons who have been standing out­side the pool to watch the swim­mers the grass has been trawpl(·d away. The new walk i!'l expe<"tl!d to improve the appearance cotl­siderably.
