The Police Blotter The nine-year-old sen of a

Greenbelt resident narrowly escap­

ed serio1,1s injury last week. A num­

ber of young hoodlums, all resid­ing in the 73 CoUrt of Ridge, forced the youngstet' into the woods where they tied a l'Ope around his neck. Then, tlu-owin.g the rope over the limb of a tree, they tied the othet" end to a stray dog. The dog was then called, and urged to r·un. I e was not determined who rescued the youngster, but he escaped with­out any serious hum done to him. All. the children involved in the es­capade were identifif!d. Later, the parent of one who was called the ringlectder, called to state that her child was not l'esponsible · for thd incident.

Changes in the town charter were a,proved by the to" n council at a lengthy meeting Monday night and set forth in a resolution to the , Prince George's County Delege~tes to the Ge.'leral Assembly r~questing enactment of appropriate c:mend­ments during the 1949 session. ,

The action followed study ex­tending! over many months on the part of councii members, . town manager and town solicitor and several open meetings and publi~ hearings for citizens' suggestions.

Big Time On only one charter change ha4

no discussion been heard-Coun~ cilman Fra!)k Lastner's suggestion to change the name "Town of • Greenbelt" to "City of Greenbelt ... The council's vote on this motion was three to two. Mayor Thomas J. Canning and Councilman Allan • Morrison dissenting.

Election ..... reforms constituted a major char.ge in the charter. Voters in · the municipal eiections must 'Ienceforth register prior to a thir ... ty-day period preceding the elec-tion, with no provision for late reg­istration. (At pres~nt the cha,rtei' permits registration up to fiftee.n days before election day, arid there-after late registration under certain conditions in~luding the payment of a fifty-cent fee.)

Frankie Kellaher, chairman of the hayride, plans for the hncks to leave the yduth center at 7:30. take a drive through the neighboring area. retu1·n to the lake for refresh­ments, and then return to the Drop­Inn at the usual closing time. 11 p.m. There will be a small fee td cover cost of the trucks and re­freshments. All those interested in the hayride must have signed reser.vations in before Saturday. The Drop-Inn will be open as us­ual for those not interested in the hayride, a.nd in case of bad weath­er, there will be open house at the

After an interview that took place at the police station last Monday night, five young boys, ages 11 to 13, were put on probation for 30 days for their part in the series of illegal entries and robberies of tha North End iood store. They are to be restricted to their own home and back yard. with consent grant­ed for them to attend school, church, and Sunday School, and· complete restitution will be made to the North End food store. Mr. Roy Bright. state probation ancli pa•·ole officer, who is assigned to several cot:nties including Prince Geqrges County, Police Chief Pan­agoulis, the boys and their· parents took p<..:-t in the inten·iew. The money expended for the restitution' of damages will be repaid to the parents by the boys from their al­lowances.

The rece:1t low sales volum(! at the X orth End food store was brought ou: in the general mana­ger's repor1, prese:1ted by Bassett Ferguson to the GCS board of di­rectors at .ts regular meeting last Frid;;.y. T:te. store's business for January 19-J9 was $7,028, a $3,000 drop from :he January 1948 figure of $10.021. ;tnd it operated ot a loss oi $355.43 for the month. This busiucss. ~fr. Fcrgu.son said, -..va:J prcsu:~c.Jahly lost to the new food store. He pointed out the p rob­lems of n taintaining super'rna rket priLes in a ;1o:>rly-lai,l out neigh.Jor­hoo<l store.

Councilwoman Elizabeth Har­rington emphasized in a stater.1ent to the Cooperator this week that state aid could provide a large senior high school in Hyattsville. This, she f'.aid. would eliminate the need for such a sc.hool in Green~ belt, and the present high ·.school could be converted to a juniOr high school.

Last weeks' heavy snow was the cause of somP- beautiful scenic sights but caused one accident on South~ way Road, involving a car and a bus. The auto, driven by Alber1! Hutchinson, of Hyattsville, skidded on the ice and collided witb. the bus approaching on the other !';ide of the road, causing considerable damage to l-oth vehicles. In an at­tempt to avoid a crash, the bus swerved and ran off the side of the road. Mrs. Isabel Wilhelm, a pas­senget' on the bus -.vas shaken up and she was taken to the Leland Memorial Hospital wh.l:..re she was treated for bruised ribs.

Young Gregory Vella, 6-B Hill­side, was bitten by a dog. and taken to a doctor for treatment. HiS' wound was deter-mined to be super~ ficial, but the dog will be kept un­der observation for· a period of time. The owner of the dog has agreed to pay for the medical expenses. In­formation received from the police department discloses that the keep­ing of a pet does not violate a town ordinance but is contrary to the terms of federal leases.

A call was received fl'om Mrs. Luther Hu..·t, of Tract 83 (the white frarne house ne31l' the Legion, Home), for a laddel' from the fire truck to rescue two men trapped in het' home. The men wel'e carrying a refrigerator from the first floor to an upstairs room. when the gas seal on the refrigerator broke. The men were unable to leave the room, as the refrigerator blocked the door. The fire department r-espond­ed and upon arrival found that the men had escaped from the window to a roof. from where they were able to make t..lt.eir way to th~ ground.

A car belonging to Jame::> Karitas was found blocking Glenn Dale Road la~t week and was moved in­to a driYewav bv Edward \\"alkcr, of Glenn Da-le Road. ~lr. Karitz,s informed the p0lice departn:ent that he had left the car at tlfe Le­gion Home the night before.

The -.._·indows in the High School were found open last week by the police department. The principal' was notified, but it has not been de~ termined whether anything is miss­ing .

The boa:·d agreed that further. di~ct1ss'on ~houtd be held on the subject, with memb~rs in the X-::~rth End particularly concerned to be consulted.

H;;.r...-ey Brown. president of the I nten:~ational :Machinists "Union, who i~ in \\.ashington testifying on the Taft-Hart ley bill, will speak orr "Labor and Co-ops."

Vol. 13 Thursday, February 17, 1949 No. 26

·walko·ut At the last meeting of the High School PTA a great majorit)4

of the teache1.s present got up and walked out. From the reports we have received, they had a very good reason for doing so, namely :I repeated inferences that they favored the double-shift plan fori next year over the quonset plan becausP. they would 01ily have to work a half-day.

That's ridiculous. In the first place, if we have to stick to a thnel.c:lock procedure, how about paying them time and a half over­time for the hours spent grading papers and preparing for the next day's elasses after school is finished? Secondly, auy teacher in the school could probably leave that field and earn a far better salarYl than he is getting now, or may get next year if he stays in thatl profession. , .

H0-;,rever, since the subject of quonset huts versus the double­sq.ift seems to have been brought up quite strongly let's take a look at it. Quonset huts are a good idea. They will help to relieve some part of the eongestion tempo:tarily, and' the kids will stay on a single shift. ,

But what about the overcrowded conditions for gym? Hall­ways are certainly no place to try to hold a gym class. The cafe­teria is over<:rowded now-what will it be like next ye:!U'? Ho"~ about the woodworking shops and chemistry classes and typing'; Classes? Are they going to get a lot more equipment to handle the. extra pupils on one shift? If so, where are they going to put thatl equipment? How large are these quonset huts going to be? How large will the classe~ be under each plan?

Has anyone bothered w ask the pupils and the teachers what. they prefer and the reasons for their preference? Has the higl\ school PTA taken any sort of vote on it? We haven't heard of any yet!

Headaches· It looks as if o:ur police no sooner clear up a case of juvenile

delinquency than they get hit right in the face with another one. They did a good job on the five youngsters who broke into the North End Food store, both in clearin.g the situation up and meting out the punie1hment with the apoperation of the parents of children involved. ·

'l'he attempted hanging is a lulu, though. Frankly we'd hate to be in the shoes of George Panaguulis in a case like this. He probably has aching ears from irate parents screaming "My John­ny wouldn't do a thing like that!" All we can say is, Johnny wouldn't-if he had a Jittle understanding and discipline at home.

I

It's U1=• To Y~u In view of the l13.test outbreaks of juvenile delinquency in

Greenbelt Cidzen's Association has certainly chosen a timely sub­ject and a good authc;>rity to bring to the people of Greenbelt to­morrow night. We hop•e that the parents of Greenbelt will fill the. Home Economics room of the Center school to overflowing. Prop~ erly run and in steady -operation the Citizens Association could b~ a valuable asset and the leading organization in Greenbelt; but the only way that can be done is through YOU.

A. 1 ittle (number 63, wei.sht, 19B) is a constant offensive threat who shoots anywhere anytlme; passes the. length of the court with dearfly accuracy, and handles the ba11 with the same slick skill he ex~ hibits on a football field. Charli~ O'Rourke (number 66, weight 180) is a great playmaker, fine ball han .. dler, good set shot from the out­side, an1l adept at driving in for layups. LaMarr "Racehor.;;e" Davis (number .":;1, weight 1713) is very fast, an exceptional defensive play­er who inter..:epts opponent's pass­es all c. ve• the court, and the finest! rebound grabber on the squad.

Other players on the Colts team are Ernie Bladin. Jim Spruill, Ollie Poole, John Sylvester, Jack Sim~ mons. Ralph Steward and Johnny Vf ,J . • i1.

Agaimt this rugged competition the Greenbelt boys will throw coach Bob Lindeman, Stan Provost, Dick Cleveland, Sid Greybeal, Rene Ward. Sonny Cragin. Bob Scott. Pete Cookson, Ted Fox, and Har­ry Benefiel.

Tickets for this game are avail­able from any of the players or from Jack Zeldin at the High School.
