REENBELT OOPERATOR Volume 6, Number 39

Co-op Earniogs Beach lew J•eak In First Quarter

The first quarter of 1942 was the most successful ever exper­ienced by Greenbelt Consumer Services durin~ its nearly five years of operat1on, it was reported to the members of G. C. S. at the quarterly meeting held Wednesday May 6.

During the first three months of this ]lear the cooperative's net earnings were $6,844. Every en­terprise showed departmental margins well above those for the corresponding quarter last year with th ~ exception of the valet shop, according to the financial re­port giv~n by Fred A. DeJager, treasurer of G. C. S.

Rationfall Explained Miss Loda May Davis of the

co~sumer diyi~ion of the Office of Pnce Admm1stration addressed tht; meeting. She spoke on the new pr1ce contro~ regulation to go mto effect this month and ration­ing, StJgar rationing, fl()r which t;eg:iRt!'Rt!!'n was complE~ted May 6, I!! already in effect.

.Pointing out many of the de­tails. of the price regulation, Miss Dav1s explained why it was nec­el'!sary ~nd how it would work. RegulatiOn, she said, is :necessary to prevent the spiraling of prices upward and is one of the method3 to be used to prevent inflation.

Some. consumer goods will dis­appear, m the place of which many substitutes will appear, and the supply of many items will be greatly curtailed, Miss Davis said It was "!ter opinion that rationing IS. a . fau: and dernveratic way of chstr1butmg the available goods to consumers.

Miss D&vi!J pointed out that ,...ifif!lt~:r :::Jrally considered a ... 11':hen, aiJ a mMtter

it is an essential war ··~:~~:~;;~!;,, Sugar is used in the n re of munitions and

• supply ordinarily con-sumec m the household is being diverted for wartime use. Thus the nerc.-ssity for rationing of thi~ commodity.

Check Action Deferred No act~on was taken by the

memberi'hJp on the question of whether G. C. S. should place a charge on the cashing of che('ks. Tht; hoard presented figures indi­catmg that during· Jt'ehruary and :March the co-op cashed :l,:Hll check~ for whir'h the cost of handling, eharg-ed the cooperative by the hank. amounted to $H4.!W. !he matter of appropriate af'tion, If any, was left up to the cli:-wre­tJon of the directors.

Elected to the auditing commit­tee were F~ed A.

Taking its cue from an article appearing in a recent issue of the Cooperator, the Greenbelt Town Council at a meeting h4~ld last Monday recommended stern(!r action to be taken in future hand­ling of so-called "Peepin~ Torn'" caHcs. To a large extent, it wa:~ intimated by Police Chit'!

MinutE! Men of Maryland will organize in Greenbelt next week when all locaJ men from 18 to 64 not in military service ar.~ ealJed to the first meeting and drill to be held Friday nitrht, May 22, at 8 p. m. at the Elementary Sehool.

Harry Bates has been delegated by Lt. Col. Caesar Aiello and S. H. Harvey to organize a platoon or company of the reserve militia here and has recruited 25 Grt-enbelt resident.~ already.

Credit Union Pllblishes New Loan Laws

The Officers of the Greenbelt FedC"ral Credit Union have been notifi(•d that the recent orders is­:-:ued by the Fed~ral Reserve Board ('<Hll'l'l'lling credit relations direct­ly <!fft•('t all loans madE! from that o1-g-anization in the future.

The ;u·t icles atft>cted by this or­t!t•!- are as follow::;, in part: Auto­mobile accessories <&nd batteries; household t'quipmeut, bedding, h1ankt'ls, etc; bicycles; clocks; all t•kctdcal appliances; floor cover­ing-s; jewelry; lamps; lawn mow­t rs; luggage, pur~es t:·tc; motion pidur·c equipment; musical in­!-'t runwnb;; ntdioz; se ... ving mach­ines; silverware; spo1·ts equip-111Cilt; suction cleaners, :hand clean­t·rs; t.ublewnre ar:d kitchenware; wa~hing m~chines; WVLtches; All \':e:uing- appawl; y::>.rd goods. To rurchase any of the ab<Jive, a down p&yment of on:! thirrll must be m~dc. (proof ntUst be given the cn~dit uniun uf thia fact) and the balanc<· to be paiJ in 12 months. .Furniture of all types require only twenty percent down with the bal­ance over 12 months.

All appli;:unts for loans will be :;dvised upon application whether cr not thci!· 1·equirements are cov­t•red in the new ref:,-ulations and .if ~:o, proof of compliance must be m:.!dt• bcfor(• the loan will be J!"l anted.

Something New Has Been Added

The Credit Union proudly exhibit. certificates represent­inR' an investment of $3000.00 in War Bonds. The purchase was made the first of the month and according to Mrs. Velma Brewer, indicates the trend of all Credit Unions in the invest­ment of surplus furads. Mrs. Brewer stated that '''it is the beat investment that could be mad.,.. an in, .. estment in the aecurity of a country that

4foatera suc:h cooperatives as Credit Unions."

Home Service Only Minute Men will serve only in

their home communities and only in case of invasion, sabotage or general disorder. Enlistment is for the duration of World Wa-r II. Orgarlized only last month under a general ~rder issued by Governor Herbert R. O'Conor, this reserve militia hlready numbers well over· 6000 with companies in most of the state's larger communities.

Guns and uniforms have been issued to the Hyattsville company.

Mr. Bates pointed to the large number of applications he has al­ready received in estimating that there would be no difficulty in securing the required 50 or 60 for a Greenbelt company. There will be a captain and one li~uten­ant commissioned immediately after the company is organized, and another lieutenant will be commissioned later. Officers from the Maryland State Guard and re­tired officers from the Regular Army, Navy, Marines and Nation­al Guard will help with training of the civilian "home defense" army.

"With six million men to be sent overseas in the regular armed forces we are goin~ to need some trainin~ and orgamzation to pro­vide against any possible emer.,. gency here at home," Mr. Bates pointed out in explaining that the Minute Men was beil\g organized from men who were expected to continue their work a.td home duties while training for any threats of enemy invasion or mass sabotage. "In any event," t.e continued, "the experience will not be wasted, since most of our practice will be out of doors and good recr~ation."

Lt. Stanley of the Maryland Guard will be on hand at Friday's meeting to help with drill and gen­eral organization.

Recruits Listed . Greenbelters already applying m the Greenbelt company include:

Virgil Estes, Robert R. Gray, Edmund Estes, Richard Bates, Harry Bates, Albert Carson. Robert C. Howey, Jack L. Wogan:

]ob3/or You We don't know where, when or how the Japs intend

to retaliate for their "loss of face" suffered in our taking the attack to their shores. The only thing we can depend on is that they will attempt a method that will satisfv their civilians. Indicated is a raid on American conti­nental cities by one of the Axis powers. It is absolutely necessary that we anticipate any moves along this line by making our Civilian Defense organizations the acme of efficiency.

While grandstand directors weep and tear their hair over the confusion .existing in these organizations, thoRe who are trying to give the Nation the utmost in protection are hindered, by a lack of cooperation. It can't be lack of interest. Surely no one wants to be killed in an air raid. There arE~ complaints of fatigue resulting from overtime in defense jobs. It seems to me that these ar~ times that require the maximum of effort, not the minimum. There are those--thankfully few-who say, "I won't be a party to anything John So-and-So is working on." Those are the people who will blam~ John So-and-So for not pro­tecting them, when fears become realities.

Perhaps you don't know where you can do the mo:-;t good. \Vith the help of our Civilian Defense Corps, the following information is available:

Men can serve any night of the week by joining the aircraft spotters. This group is under the superYision of the Army. In charge locally is Judge Freeman. A mod necessary function, this 24-hour volunteer work needs n.tany more helpers than ·it now has. Working 2-hour shifts, 84 regular spotters and several alternates are needed in order to give complete coverage. Other places where men are needed are in the auxiliary police and fire force:-. the air-raid wardens, the emergency medical services and the Minute Men (reserve militia). First-aid clasRes are conducted day and evening, presenting opportunity to every one to learn the essentials of emergency treatment. There are many services that men aren't available for, such as daytime spottin~~- Here is the chance for women to take an active part in defense preparation. The emergency med­ical unit also needs women as nurse~· aides and first-aid workers. Dr. Joseph Silagy can be contacted for this unit. Is there any one in town who doesn't have two hours a week to f'lpare for some part in the community's protection?

If y0u have any suggestions or if you want to go to work just attend the meeting of the Greenbelt Civilian Defense Council Monday night at the fire house. Thi:-; i:-; an important meeting and it affects you so if you have anv axes to grind bring them along and they will be ground.

Let's Get To Work On This Dou't forget-we have a ''somewhat" of a tran:;por­

tation service now but if the plea of the Capital Transit Company next Wednesday is granted we ·wont have e\·en that amount. Write to the Public Service Commission of Maryland; write to your Congressman; write to the Gov­ernor of Maryland; sign the petition:- being circulated or better yet, attend the hearing. Don't let this go the way of all Greenbelt because when your gas tank gurgles its last you will be sort y.

Memo To New Residents Do you have newspaper or publishing experience? Do

you wish to learn about the operations of a newspaper? Would you like to help put this paper out each week'? If so, eome down to the office (over the Drug Store) any Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday night. Even if you do not know any more about a paper than page one eomes before page two we can use you. In case you do!t't know it, your newspaper is put out each week by volunteer workers who do not get paid for their efforts and who nevet· expect to receive any compensation. The paper is published by an incorporated producer5 cooperative whose membership is open to anyCine who has the ambition and desire to give Greenbelt a better paper and who believes in the cooperative movement as a

Keep Out! Spring onions are up and it is time for you to keep out

of ot h•T people's gardens. In past years local gardeners have hl"l'll plagued with rabbits and petty thieves. The rabbit:-; ma:• be forgin•n inasmuch a~ thPy lack the human intelligence to discriminate between free greenery and that planted with :"ouch luYing care by Gr~enbelt farmers.

Thien~ry and mischievous or careless damage by children or adults is despicable and has no place in this communit~·. People who are too lazy to plant their own gardens should stay out of the vegetables planted by their neighbors. We feel pretty strongly in this matter. So stro:-tgl~· that we are offering a $10 reward for information leading to the arre:-t and com·iction of any person stealing or despoiling Greenbelt gardens this summer. The Cooper­ator made a similar offer last year with a $5 reward. The increa:-;ed importance of gardens in thiR war year would seem to make our $10 reward required if it can help at all in discouraging sneak thieves.

OUR NEIGHB()RS

By SALLY MEREDITH Hello, Greenbelt:

Do you like cakt!s biii!JWV with coconut or luscious with •=hocolatt! ·: Pies rich with lemon or butter­scotch and topped with meringues? Or can you whip up sueh concoc­tions? In either event, you'll be interested in the Bake Sale to be held tomorrow at the Food Stor·e. Proceeds will buy equipment for the Firemen's Auxiiiary. I know what I'm going to do. I'm goinl{ to be e-n the buying end. How about you?

This is rather old "news," but perhaps you haven't hE!ard of it yet. Mr~. H. A. Miller now heads the local Girl Scout Troop No. 15. ~ormer leader, Mrs. Myrtle Brit­tmgham, told me that she can't think of anyone that could do a better job. I've h~ard here and there that Myrtl~ was plenty okay in that caJJacity. She h21d to stop, though, because she was doing too much. You see het· behind thl! checking counter at the Food Store.

Mrs. Mary Jane Kinzer lext jast Friday for New Orleans, to attend a conference vf the Nation­al Social Welfare Association of which she is a member. She pians to leave there this week-end and spend a wek in Roanoke befot·c turning to Greenbelt. So help me this is the first time I've knowr{ her to take a vacation since I've lived here. Which reminds me Isn't it about time Mr·g. Winficl1i McC.amy returned from her long­awaited, much-deser•.red vacation? The office never locks the sum~ without her.

Last we e k Safety Directur George Panagoulis and Di1·ector o~ . Public Works Harry Rhode,;, Vl.sited Greenhills, Ohio and G:r~cnd_ale, Wisconsin, our' sister cJtJ_es, In a survey of safety, sani­tatiOn, and other public facilities. They left Saturday, May 2, and I'eturned May 8.

I know this happend every day but when it happens to me I'n; so excited, you'd think it wa~ the first time in the histcry of Green­belt. Which all lead-s up to the fact that I'm moving from my apart­ment to a house tomorrow. I \\"as perfectly contented with the apart­ment, but I suppose it's just in the feminine nature to want to !flOVe every so often. At least it'~> Ill my nature. When I can't change my address, I compromise by changing the position of the liv­ing room furniture.

Another wedding announcement -Miss Mildred Seeger of 4-C Crescent Road, was married May 6 to Basil Zie;, in ~edar Rapids, Iowa. They will reside in Colltge Park, Maryland. We announced a shower for Miss SeElger some WP.eks ago.

Though~ for the week: Only two weeks until the pool opens!

That's all. until next week.

Women's Club Holds Spring Luncheon

Against the back,...round of beau­tiful Olney Inn, '\he Greenbelt Women's Club hdd its annual spring luncheon May 7. Following­the luncl.eon the dub members ad~ journed to the Mexiean Room fot· a program of music and the bu:::­ir.ess meeting.

Two Chopin waltzes as piano solos were play1~d bv Mrs. Denzil D. Woods, after w!1ich Mt·s. Dan­iel G. Neff and Mn;. Oscar M. ~Tohnson joined in a special duet for Mother's Day, "Oh Mother of Mine," singing "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes'' for un encore .

l\1rs. Rowena Wnittll1ker, guest of the club representin~; Gn;cnbelt Elementary Schcol, gave two recommendations drawn up by Mrs. Catherine T. Rel'd, who was unable to be present. These were two suggestions as to how the Women•s Club may be of service to te school: The first that, because (lf the probable shortag(! of recrea­tion personnel this summer, the recreation departmant be given assistance by volunteew workers; nnd secondly, that during the com­ing school yeat· the Club members make plans to h(c)p interpret Gn:-enbelt school projects and methods to new re;;idcnts of the community .

Mrs. S. Hartford Downs revie·w­ed briefly the wor·k aecom!Jiished by the Woman's Club during this ~cason. Mrs. Leon Benefiel, presi­dent. urged that !'t.-n<:wed dcvo­tion be given in the difficult day~ &head to religious !ivin11; und spir­itual thought.

The Great Beers of Maryland I 80011 FOR THE HII_ID-WORKIII MEl OF TODAY!

MARYLAND-· Ql TODAY A IN THE GREAT BODY OF

THROBBING HEART WAR PRODUCTION!

Thousands upon ·thousands upon thousands of n..n-··'M'Irylanden from the mountain counties far to the west and from the level lands of tOte Eastem ~-.t"re .. - - and thousands who have come from states to the north, the south and the west - "' - all here as members of that tremendous drlvln& force which Is worklna to w111 this warl

And what a boon to those men that they can tum frotn tremendous physical and mental effort to relax tor a moment and drink deep of a &lass of &c.od beer--- pure, wholesome, refreshlncl

In a group of aplend;-t, modern breweries, nut· standing masters of the brewing art vie in friendly rivalry to brew beer to your liking. Each has at his command the finest of the grains, the hops, and the pure waters of Maryland. And in .:11 these breweries, hundreds of skilled men bring support and co-o~ration to those master brewers that you may have your good beer-in these days when, as never before, 3 glass of beer means so mudl to the men who labor to produc~.

Brewed from these splendid ingredients, from all of these breweries come good ~rs-buc, still, Jilf~r,,t beers. For in the brewing -of ~rs there are m~de evident the same characteristics as in the makins of­well--t~JIPle Jlies.

You know that you car.• bring togedaer seven or eight housewive~~--all known to be expe.t bakers of apple pies. You can give those women their choice of ingredients--and they will all choose the finest. And when they have finished those pies, each will be a great pie-yet each wiH have. an individuality all its own. No two will be alike. And each pie will attract fr~nds.

It is so with beer--and it is a good thing th:at it is so. There is, in Maryland today, a beer for every taste. Here we want to tell you about one of these Maryland beers­NATIONAL BOJH.EMIAN-one of the. two ~n which we make in our brewery.

It is a fascinati.ng story of honest brewing and tremendous public response. Long before NATIONAL BOHEMIAN was first brewed, Maryland brewed fine beer. And then, just a few years ago, NATIONAL BOHEMIAN made its appearance. It was brewed first to fill a public want-to serve the modern taste-light, tangy, zestful-and yet retaining the full body and the definite character of the ancient brews. It was sent out ac first just in small lots to a chosen few tavern keepers-to find out w!lat you folks thought of this unusual brew.

To the old tin:sers iD Maryland, NATIONAL BOHEMIAN'S coming will never be forsotten. You folks fairly leaped at it. Over-night it became a popular

~r-sixth place in Maryland-then fifth place­fo•-lrth place-third place-second place-and before one could say "scat"-FIRST PLACE among all the bottled and packaged beers sold in this part of the country-and even then, the demand was only begin­ning-it has gone up and up ever since. It proved one great fact-men and women recognize quality-_-good­ness-rare flavor.

But there seemed, at first, that one insurmountable obstacle would stop show:t this onward rush. We brewed with only one thought - GREAT GOODNESS -DELICIOUSNESS--new heights in the sheer delight of a lovely beer.

We over-looked the element of cost-so important in the conduct of business. We had to charge your dealers-your tavern keepers, your clubs and hotels MORE for NATIONAL BOHEMIAN than they have to pay foe any other popular priced bottled beer they buy for you. But only for a moment did we wonder what the t>utcome would be. Almost to a man, the tavern keepers and the merchants saw in NATIONAL BOHEMIAN a beer that would let them give you the acme of beer goodness. And they said: "We'll pay the price-we are willing to pay more for such a beer-and while we may make a little less profit per bottle, we'll make it up in the friende we serve.''

And so now, with National Bohemian soaring to greater and greater proportions in the job of providing good beer for folks in Maryland, neither you who enjoy NATIONAL BOHEMIAN nor we who brew it must forget for a moment the unselfish purveyors who pay more for NATIONAL BOHEMIAN than they pay for any other popular priced bottled beer-yet give it to you at regular price.

And to you new-comers in Maryland-maybe you still have a taste treat iD store. We hope it won't be long before you come to know NAT~ONAL BOHEMIAN, too. We hope you, teo, find ic pleaaiDa ancl aareeable.

The most important thing to J·eport to you this week is all the <lope on the Senior play. It is to be "Growing Pai]ls" by Aurania Rouverol, a story of adolescent life. The leads ar,e to be played by Jack Gale and Rosalie Poston. Two performanc~!S will be given, Wednesda:r and Thursday, May 20 and 21. Admission to this col­ossal production is 15· cents, .25 cents and 35 cent;s plus tax. If you h_aven't already purchased your tl.c~ets, hun·y. up! Miss Younger, un ector, prediCtes <hat frvm all mdications of how practices are going there is no doubt that this play will be even more enjoyabl~ to you than the previous high school production, "What a Life'.

Mr. Cooper had a change of plans. He wm leave this Friday for the Army, instead of at the end of the school year.

Xo c~rcful attempt to make the systpm wo1·k wa:> made, and after the expiration of the year'a con­tl·act it was discontinued.

Long and c~reful ~.tudies pre­pared by the transportation com­mittee of the Citizen:; Association and the Town Council were Ig­nored by the Transit Company. A mu:1icipal-owned bus system and a cooperative station wagon pool were proposed but failed to win popular support.

Next came the shuttle bus to Berwyn. With it came the incon­"enienc~ of an additional transfer, waiting for the bus outdoors m

inclement weather, the long sway­ing rides in old street-cars.

We are now asked to return to the shuttle bus. The Capital Tran­sit Company says it must avoid parallel routin~. This will save a bus.,-at the cost of two streetcars~

If Greenbelt were isolated in some mid-western state it would have the dignity of a small city. Because it is near Washington its 4000 people are considered as a group of suburbanities-Only in­cidental to the transpo11;Rtion prob­lem of the city.

Actually, Greenbelt is a unit which moves to and from Wash­ington each working day. To Hin­der war workers in the name of Conservation is not the way to win wars.
