That beautiful civic monument to GCS's belated interest in serv­i~! through competition is begin­ning to look like just nn ordinary gas 8tatio11.

The GVHC 'board voted 4 to 3 a.gainst zoning for the gas station (three boa,rd members :were fear­ful of c..c:::s·s political power m Gro•eni>eltl. This board ac:tion. was treated in a very hush, hush manner fo:r fear that it might pos­sibly infiue:11ce the city council.

\Vhen :\[r. Gilbert requested rommerciaJ wning for some land· near the Center area the board voted against it eight to zero. (Nobody is fearful of Mr. Gilbert's poEtical pcwer in Greex1belt), and it w·as suggested tha;t the b<>ard be personally represented at the coun­c-il rneetin!!: to influence :that

Co1111eil lean E•• Of City Master Pl11

In another extra-ordinary ·ses­sion dealing with eompletion of a "Master Plan" of zoning for the en­tire city, the city council h~ given tentative approVBl to a modl:fied version of the Maryland NationW­Capital Park and Planningj Com-miss.ions outline, I

No new date baa been Set for the council's acceptanoe of the "Plan··. nor has any date been set for public hearings on t~e :final draft. Mayor Tom Canning ,stated that due to the numerous enforced setbacks that have beset thel CflUn­cil's progress, he hesitated to fore­ca'3t an approximate date as, to its completion. i

Hcwever, , he said that, .. ~nsi­derable progress has been Jrriade, .. and that further special stbssions . will be held to rush the co~ncil's . accepted plan." 'rhe mayor also stated that public hearings de­finitely would be held prior to final acceptance of the plan ~d its transmission to the park and! plan­ning .co~mission and the r' unty commissioners.

Little or no objection was voiced by council members to the zoning of areas under discussion Tuesday night. These areas embraced land adjacent to the Junior High School (already zoned), and to a 1.,160 acre tract now ·under Federal con­trol. which Hes between Edmon­ston and Good Luck Roads. This is regarded as pa~k area by the Fed€ ral government~ although rw move has been made to develop it as such. On the master plan, this tract was to be designated as rural residential, and in the event of its sale to private owners, an RR designation would apply to any subsequent petitions for zoning.

Councilman Kistler dissent~d.

He said that he had not had suf. ficient time to consult with others, and would require more time to study this particular problem lJe­fore he could reach a prope!" de­cision.

In another move, the council af­fixed an RR designation on pro­perty belonging to the Smith­Ewing interests - which lie-~ near the Baltimore-Washington Park­way.

Manager Charles McDonald has invited the council members to make a tour of the city in the new city bus at · 9 a.m. on Saturday, August 18. At thi..<~ time, council members will have an opportunity to view the lands being zoned, and at a scheduled meeting, following the tour, . will be able to apply first­hand knowledge to their task.

Chclsanow "U'nfair Pra,~1:icesn Charge Unfounded Si:~.ys GVHC Contmitte~e

~ long-awaited report by an "ad hoc" Greenbelt Veteran Hou~mg Corporation committee appointed to investigate strained ra~atlons between GVHC and the Greenbelt Realty Co. found no ev1dence to support cha,rges of unfair practices brought against the GVHC sales and services department by Abraham Chasanow of ~he realty company. A committee of four headed by Frank Last­ner, and including AI Long, Bruce Bo~an, and ·John Phariss, labored three mouths: to- bring forth the report whic:b was pre­sented to the GVHC ·boaTd o.f di­re-.-:to:rs at its regular Friday meet­ing, August 10.

The committee's report reafiirmed the desirability of board policy of engaging in the sale ar.td resale of 'its housing units. It ft~lt that the present GVHC sales for•:!e had used forbearance and restraint in deal:. ings with othQr real estate bro­kers.

In this connection, GVHC Pre­sident Ed Burgoon announced that GVHC has taken steps to apply for a real estate broker's license from the Maryland Real Estate Commission in compliance w1th the recent ruling of the Sta\e At­torney General. Burgoon stated that in the interim GVHC will ~ntinue its sales activities.

Questionnaire U'sed The Committee reported that a

questionnaire was sent to all in­dividuals who purcliased GVHC housing units for the first time during the period Ja.nuary 1-May 1, 1956. Questionnaires were sent out to 68 new members and re­p,ies received from 38. Not one reply P,"ave answers that were unfavorable to the GVHC saler3 department or supporte·d previous complaints made by the Greenbelt Realty Co., it was stated.

"In fact," stated Lastner, "many of the · replies we rec•~ived were enthusiastic in their praise of the GVHC sales force. This is phenomenal, since usually people who have complaints are more likely to make themselves heard than satisfied customers."

"Acted Fairly'' One of the specifie Chasanow

charges was that the membership interview conducted by GVHC sales personnel was being impro­perly .used to discourage clients of Greenbelt Realty froJn continu­ing to deal with Chasanow. The committee's inve~tigation revealed that the. 'GVHC sales department had "acted most fairly in every instance - leaning over backward to rf'spect 'exclusive' listings and contracts of Greenbe·lt Realty Company." Tht~ comrrtittee ·con­cluded that "in many eases the charge or complaint was inferenee only or supposition unsubstantiated by 'facts. In other ,:;.u;;es a eom­plete airing of both sides showed the matter to be one of misun­derstanding or nfisbtterpretation of the facts or of motives."

In order to avoid future misun­derstanding or misinter!_)retati<.m commended that the board adopt a set of regular procedures and principles whieh the ~VHC sales department and other real estate brokers participating in the sale of homes must uniforJnly follow. The committee also suggested that any deviations or violations of t,hese procedures be brought to the attention of the board irnmedia.t•~ly. In this manner, the board will be kept abreast of developments and be able to nip in the bud potential sourees of irritation.

Toastmaste~rs ]{old Mock Conven1tion

The Toastmasters Club of Green­belt, held a mock Democratic Con­vention at their regula:rly schedu­led meeting last Tu~iday night.. Chairman Charles McDonald con~ ductd. the ftoor activities in a work­manlike manner, running the ga­mut from keynoter's address to the placing of names of the various candidates in nomin.e.tion. The club bad an enjoyable and infor­mative :ression.

Toastmaster for the E~vening, Ed Burgoon, had two principal spea­kers, Claud Wimberly and Gi!orge Schafter.

President Robert Hu1:-st has an­nounce<:t that the chartering for the club will be held the evening of September 15, at 'iVhich time the area governor for Toastmas­ters International wW officiate at the ceremonies, to w:bich wives and other gueets will be invited.

LEAGUE from page 1 scoring three ::-uns, a walk to Braund and J. CarrLISo loaded the bases and then Ti~:er Thirdbase­man Clark got his eye and doubled in two more. In the bottom half of the third the Tigers got their other two runs when losing Pitcher Phi! :vtiller led off with a double, a sin­gle by L. Carruso follovroed by a double by Braund and a single by J. Carruso gave them their limit of nine runs for the afternoon on eight hits and three errors.

The sparking defensive playa of the Athletits. fme relief pitching performance by KePny Powell and the well hit home run smash by Rightfielder Rimar took the play away from the fighting Tigers and put the American Leagu~ Champs back in the ballgame. After being unable to score in the :.;;>COI"Irl and third innings off of Phil Miiler who, after a faltering start, had settled down and kept them hit­less in those two innings t':1e Ath­letics finally went to wo~·k in the fourth. A walk to lead-off batter Rimar and four hits in a row started· by Marty \Vaiden, who had additionally turned in a bt"illiant defensive perinrmance all after­noon and doubles by Shcrrnen, D. Arensdorf and _\t:oraz. and a walk to Powell got them four runs be­fore the Tiger defensive tightf:ned and got the next three batters on fty balls.

In th~ top of the fifth came Rimar's h;~ moment in his young baseball life when, after having a two-two count ~n him, hit the next Tiger Miller p-itch high over the centerfield fence for the tieing Athletic n:n. Walden grounded out to the pitcher, then Shermen got on by an error, then D. Arens­dorf doubled in ShE,nnan for the tie-breaking run. Catcher Moraz struck out, but with two out the Athletics were still out for some insurance and got it when the next batter Powell doubled in Arensdorf !or the Athletics 11 run total. To protect ~~heir two run lead in the bottom of the Tiger sixth t.~e Athletics clisplayed some outstanding defensiv·e ability when Centerfielder Walden mMe a ter­rific running catch of Tiger Second­baseman Bienia's long 1ly ball. Catcher Moraz went to the back­stop for Tiger Holland's pop-up and then Pe-ttit brought the by now roaring crowd to its feet by making a runnin1: one-banded backhand catch of Dalbows lon« smash to deep lett field to retire the side and end the ball game.

You will not want to miss seeing these two teams dash in their play-off gamli' this coming "Sunday afternoon at the Little League field back of 7 Oourt Southway. Well coached and rested by a week's reprieve they will be com­ing back with renewed vigor ~ order to bring their League the World Series Championship.

Health For All' A Plea for Father

\Vhat kind of a vacation :is .. Dad having?'

We're ·used to thinking of sum­mer vacation in terms of the chil-' dren. School's · out and they're making the most or it. We Ameri­ca·n~ seems to concentrate on mak­ing sure that they have the right kind of summer. But what a'bout Father? Outside of chauffeuring the kids to the swimming hole and playing life guard, eXplaining his­torical monuments on the motor tour, and cutting VII'Ood for · the picnic fire, is he having a vaca­tion?

He's a pretty important guy. His summer vacation should he more than just two weeks away from the job. I~dustrial health experts tell us that his vacation can make or break the year ahead for him. That's why more and more busi­nes..> firms insist on his taking at lea..qt two weeks off. And it is true that some men have to be almost pushed out of the office. If he doesn't build .up a reservoir of good health now, 'we may aU ba in trouble.

Father, the Forgotten Man in too many households, is one of the nation's biggest health problems.' Statistics show that there is more serious illness among middle-aged men than among WOlDen. Men in their middle years have more tu­berculosis than any otb.er group in the population. Yet we know that a healthy, weU nourished per­son can usually fight TB genns to a 'standstill.

If Father isn't building up his health this summer, isn't eating r.ght, or getting eno011gh sleep, re-st, and recreation, the family can resolve to .do something about it before the summer is over. One important step is to find out what the words "rest" e.nd "recreation" mean to him. He may not enjoy doing some of the things he feels he "ought to do" for the children.
