Seven charter-changing ordin­ances were pa.ured by the city coun­c-il at last Monday's meting. These change.s will automat~ally go into effect ur.less a petition signed by 20 pfrcent , of the registered voters is filed with the city clerk within 40 da:•a requesti.ng a x-eferendum on the amendments.

The changes establish a 3-wan per­sonnel board t:nat will advise the council on personnel administration and conduct hearings for emplt;>yees that are removed, reduced or sus­pended by the dty manager, if re­quested -by the employee within 1:> days of the action. Also clarified in the .charter revisions are the limits to which the cQuncil can interfere

· in .alimir.istrative funct1.ons and the requirements that department heads must preserve lmd safeguard rec­ords and doctunents per~ining to city affairs.

Another charter c'Jange provides· -for bids on mat•erials and supplies, or t-ontractual 11ervlces amounting to over $1000, with the lowest bid winning, and ad pertinent informa­tion regarding bids be fumished the city council when the request for bids is advertised. However, any l-'tty improvement costing more than $1000 must also be approved by the city council, afte:r bids are received.

A final charter chauge grants the council, the city IIUUJ8.8er, "or &.Ry pen.on or comm!.ttee authorized by the council by re.10lution, ahall have JIIOWer to inquire lnto the \lOnduct of 1my office or of4~:er of the city and to make lnvestiga.tions as to munl.ci­pal aftairs and fo:r that l)Urpoae may compel the production of books, l)a'!'ers and other ev\dence."

The charter changes are largely the result of wo1~k completed by a charter revision con>mittee during 1959, h~ by cmnton Fair. Many of the cha.ngea closely resemble re­visions made by a previous coancil but overthrown by a ,city refer-4!Gdum..

We CaiiiLot Believe Our Eyes· One of the tasks oi 4Jl3 Public Works Department each &pring

is b> clean up arow:1d t.he underpasses, and if the general appearance requires it, they hl1.ve been painting the walls and ceilings at least every. second year.. . . ,

'I'ms year the walis have been pretty badly ma.r:ted by mis­chievous children. and the decision w~ made by the City Mana­ger to paint all of the unde1'Passes. This was a task that required the full time of four men 9lld a p3int spray machine for a day and a hslf, wih an added cost of $144,00 for paint. Befot"e the paint Qn these underp3.li1Ses was fully dry, some mischievous children h&d already begun defacing them.·

: FQr a vecy small child to engage in this pastime some excuse might be offered; but when we see these walls defaced with obscene and yil.e language 1nitten at heights on the walls that no pre-school child, could reach, we are astounded to think that any young per­son living in GreE!nbelt could do this. Knowing the many facili­ties that are prov:idoo for wholesome recreation and activities, we j"ast cannot believe our eyes that this is the work of Greenbelt youth.

It is very fruntating to city officials to plan a work program to make our co,m.n:tunity a better. pl~e in which to live and not be able to cope with undiscipli.aed children.

. How can we 1·eaeh these culprits? One way, of course, would be for the city ofticials to offer a reward for information leading to the apprehension of anyone seen defacing :public property. But certainly another method to deal with it would be for parents to make this ·a St;.bject of discussion in their family conferences. Thus, the parents themselves might contribute 'their share to mak­ing Greenbelt a bl!tter and healthier place in which to rear their ~hildren, and ind:irectly, save themselves some tax money by helping to pl'Qtect public property.

DF!MOCRA TIC CLUB ' At the last regular monthly meet­ing of the GrP.enbelt Democratic Club the election of officers for the c'>ming year was held. Offl.cers elect­ed were' Frank Lastner for another term a:i president; Edgar Smith, vi.ce president; Dial Silvers, secre­tary; and Henry Brautigam, trea-surer.

There is a woman whom I utter­ly detest in this world, and she lives in our TV eet. I see her on various programs from time to time, mostly detective shows. She sits in her immaculate livingroom, perfectly groomed. Every hai"' is in place, and she is wearing a dark wool dres<;~, uncreased, and with no lint on it. Her family, if she has one, muat i>erch only on the ooge of chairs. rll bet that in this room they wouldn't dare io cut out paper dolls, or eat a ta1fy apple, or clean a typewrit-er .

Eventually, the detective gets around to calling on :ter, because she has information that he needs. One of the things he asJ<-.s her for is the address of the suspect. She walks over to her desk, which has nothing on it but an ink-stand and a blotter. She opens a drawer, and - get this - produ.ces an address book in which is neatly written the information that the detective re­quires. She doesn't fumble around in a jamm<?d desk drawer looking for a fray<?d envelope with a return address on it. Not she!

Sometimes I talk to Ru-;s about this woman. He says it. is siUy for me to hate her, because she doesn't exist. I maintain that 8he does, if only in the ··minds of the writers who create her, and as long as shP. exists somewhere, she is a threat to me.

There is another woman, however. whom I hate eve.n.- more. This one lives in the pages of the Ladies' Home Journal. Sometimes she has four teen-age daughters, all of whose clothes she makes, out of cloth han:l -loomed by herself. Sometimes she ltas three boys in­stead. Effortlessly, she piles them all into the station wagon, alc;>ng wit:h two neighboring boys, and takes them for a weekend camp­ing trip in the mountain.

In the summer 'She cans two hundred quarts of fruits and vege­tables. In the winter, she goes down in.to the basement. When she emerges, it is with an heirloom that she has refinished out of a table picked up for two dollars at the junk shop.

This women's husband is equally nauseating. He has just .finish­ed a sun-room, complete with jalousies, which he did in the evenings and on weekends. His greatest joy is to entertain fifty friends at a cook-out, where he presides in a .chef's hat, ladling out his special barbecue · sauce.

I stare at this paragon for hour!' sometimes. Then I go over and poke Russ so he can look at him too. Russ gives him a contemptu­ous look. "Stupid jerk," he says, and resumes his nap.

I wish I could share Russ's in­difference to these people, but I can't. And so I have only one thin~ to say to this woman: Stay in the !...adies' Home Journal, be­(:;:tUSI" if you ever stick your head out. I'll be waiting with a baseball bat.

THANKS To the Editor:

I would hke to thank the mem­bers of the Rescue Squad for their kind assistance to and from the hospital and the many friends and neighbors for their visits and well wishes.

SHOP TALK How many ways can Co-op serve you? There's practically no limit because Co-op exists only to serve its shoppers with better values, finer quality and in as many ways as possible.

That's why Co-qp is so much more than just another store. Lamb from Iceland, cheese from Denmark, gifts from Japan and glassware from Italy are just some of the specials that Co-op has brought in for its shoppers. Right now, Co-op is arranging for over 50 pieces of imported , Danish furniture to be made a­vailable at ab'lut half the prices ch::~rged e!sewhere.

Co-op provides complete drug and prescription service for its shoppers and a top-flight auto service center. Not too long ago, Co-op pioneered in bringing ma-

ny non-food items into the su­permarket to offer clothing, shoes, yard goods, in fact, jus::. about everything the shoppeJ: could use for the hoD'.e.

All of these services, and more, came about because shopp.ers indicated their desires. But the surface has only been scratchPd. Let us know other ways Co-op can aerve. Remember. Co-op is your· business.

McDonald stated that last yetda felltival program waa the beat-l'Wl so tar beca\Uie of such a writte11 agreement which preceded the af­fa1r.

lM[a,y 3 The n1.en in charge of making out

the monthly reports beat me to it a1~ain ti!lis week. Before I had a chant',e to get mater-1al for my c•)lumn, I found it to be Tuesday alrternO«:.n and past the first of the trLonth. This means my memory will have to serve me if there is to be any column at all.

. The :;:iren sounded off a couple ol~ time:s on Saturday. There was a fire c~all &a'ldwiched in between t;o;vo Re;;cue Squad calJs. The first call wa.s an O.B. call. The men ca.rrled a woman to the hospital and wc?re still down at the fire house when the fire call came in for- the equipment to go to Laurel !H.ill. There was a stove fire which was put out simply by pulling the main electrical switch in the home. A short time later the Rescue Squad Cltrried !Ulother wo:o:nan to the hos­pital in order to have a baby.

YesteJ:day, a call came in for the Rescue Squad from the Berwyn Heighf.l!l area. A six year old boy h:a<! beE·n hit on the head with a rock and needed transportation to the hosu,ital for X-rays.

On Monday evening-, at the Cen­ter, a l~ire fighting and rescue d·EC>mou.stration was put on for the public. A. stimulated fire was start­ed on the roof of the City office, the sire::t soun{lt>.d, and the Volun­ters rus ned to the scene. The fire t1mck was. driven right up the Center walk of the mall and the men went through their paces. They S•t>t up ll ladder and climbed to the roof. A report came down that there wu an injured man on the roof an<l the Rescue Squad went in­to action. They sent their first aid kit to tile roof on a line and then the mert prepared to remove the ,iction, :~eeurely tied to a stretcher, by mea11.8 of a rope. The victim was Jmt on a rolling stretcher, trans­ferred t:o the waiting am.bulance nnd, willb a wail of t-he siren, the ambu!ar.1ce left the scene. · ~e whole operation was explain­

f~ tC!' tb e rub!ic by Greenbelt's Fire Marshal .Tack Snoddy. He did a tnagnifi<:ent job of explaining the l}rooodu:t'eS 811 they 'took place. He uJso inf•tlrmed the public of the fact t.hat tb•!re were young men, not out of their teens yet, who were taking rm active part in the dem­onstratil>n. These fellows, ·it was explained had ::&ken numerous fire-1lghting co·u'\"Ses a.s well as first­aid training. !ncidentally, Green­lJelt's outstandinst fireman of the year, Dl'nnis Dunn. is still a teen­nger. Also incidentally, Dennis l'ln.yed t'te rch of the victim who was loW•'ren from the roof. I saw them roll h:m to the ambulance ~md hr nPver flinched a muscle in his role of an unconscious victim.

All in all, the men put on an E•xcellE'nt demonstration and it was viewed with much intl'!rest ~y the public.

Room Promised by GCS By Harvey Geller

"Greenbelt will get a community meeting room in the near future," so stated Robert Bonham, Presi­dent of Grenbelt Consum•~r Serv­i•ces, at the annual area meeting held April 28, 1960. The approximately 45 :members in attendance were told that GC3 is investigating a num­ber of possible sites, and a. decision would be made shortly.

The meeting, chaired by George Adams, President of the area dele­gation heard repOrts b·• Rev. Rob­ert Hull and Carnie Harper, and a Lilk by Robert Bonham. Benjamin Rosenzweig also led a discussion of the proposed charter chnnges.

Hull, who is a member of the Board, reported on the Board's ac­tivities. The main activities of the Board were on behalf of the growth of GCS. One new score was opened rec~ntly, and two more are due to open in the next few months. In ad­dition, a good deal of time was spent in the un.sucessful attempt to pur­chase the 10 Food Town stores that were part of a bankruptcy sale. Hull also described briefly the actions tRken when GCS pu_rchased the com­mercial .center in an open auction.

The proposed change,s in the charter on which members will vote, were explained by Benjamin Rosen~weig. The change having to do with the pa1:ronage refund and purchase of shares i.s being offered in order to meet same of the objec­tions of the tax people. Another change has to do with increasing the term of office of the area dele­gates to .the congress from one to two years. This would have the ef­fect of maintaining continuity in the congress and ease the task of the nominating committee, since hl:l.lf the delegates would be elect­ed annually. The other changes bad to do with tl1e officers of the Board and tileir pay.

The possibility of an election contest was elinUnated when it WNI revealed that Gl·eenbelt was al­lowed 18 delegates instead of 17. Those placed in nomination were: Geor~e Adams, Leonard Baron, .Tames Beck, Edgar E. Best, Walter :!. Bierwagen, Lambert ,V. Brezina, Mrs . .Jessie Williams ~an, Mat­thew Maury Fontaine, Harvey GeL ler, Carnie 0. Harper, Robert C. Hun, Howard B. Kash, H~gh R. Koonz, Vaclav Majer, Thomas A. Morgan, Benjamin Rosenzweig, George E. Sheaffer, J·r., and Clifford H. Simonson.

President Bonham's report was very optimistic. Sales of GCS have increased in the first quarter of this year while other chains in the area have experienced a decrease in dol­lar sales.

Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson will address a Father and Son Banquet at the Benvyn L'nited Presbyterian Church, rurd AvE'nue and Greenbelt Road on Tuesday, May 17 at 6:45 p.m. Re­servations must be in by May 10 and may be .secured by calling GR. 4-6774. On Friday, May 6 at 8 p.m. the Berwyn Chapter of Presby­terian Men will present in panto­mime .. A Mock Royal Wedding" at the church.
