FISH

Greenbe1t epicures and sportsmen
alike will be interested to know that
on November IL, 1886, the Bureau Of
Fl sheries Of the U. S. Department Of
Commerce liberated 284O fish of various
species in the Greenbe1t Lake. Enumer-
ated, they were 80 adult Black Bass,

fish being fingerlings.
Of these it is believed that only
a few catfish may have survived. Con-
tinuous erosion due to rains has kept
mud in constant suspension in the lake
and such waters are most unfevorable for
the propagation of any fish. Naturally.
it is hoped that this opinion may be err
roneous, but neverthele ss it is not I'M
founded.
Most of the fish require clear
water. Carp, Of which species none were
planted here, and which incidentally is
the bone-fu1lest fish, would thrive in
Greenbe1t's lake.
Three natural and clear streams feed
the lake, and if the eroding watershed
could be contro lied by proper sodding
and planting the lake would also be
clear. It s hoped that the Farm Secur-
ity Admi nj S ira t on will take steps to
correct this condi ton so that the
aforement toned gourmets and Isaac Wal
tons may satisfy their piscatoria1 wants
The fishing season is divided into
almost as many sections as there are
fish species. For Information as to the

MORRIS TEMPLEklAN RESIGNS FROM
: ~ COOP STAFF ......
Laakso to Serve as Acting Manager

Mr.. Norris Tempt eman, who has served
as manager of the Cooperative Food Store
since its beginning, turned in letter
of res ignation last week to the general
manager of Greenbelt Consumer Services,
Inc. The resignation was effective
of Saturday, March IL. Mr.. Sulo Laakso,
Asst. Manager, will serve acting man

Those twenty-five first families
in Greenbelt probably remember Mr.. Temple
man best as the gentlem who on the
morning of October came around to the
door to ask if anyone would like grocer

groceries had not yet arrived in Green
belt. By p. m. Of the same day the
first truck load Of food stuff was checked
off, and Gre enbe1t had a grocery store.
At the end of the first day, Mr.. Temple
man proudly announced sales of three
dollars and quarter.
The period since October 3rd has
been formative one for the Greenbe1t
Food Store, and Greenbelt citizens owe
much to the enthusiasm and hard work of
Mr.. Temp1eman. Here's Bon Voyage to
Mr.. Tempt eman, and word Of encourage
ment and best wi she's to Sulo Laakso--

Harry Jackson stood in the doorway,
elbow bent, gun raised.
Itchy crooked his finger A crash of sound
rocked the room as the streak of lead from
Itch Fingers automatic smashed the chan

Hook in the kitchen.
The lights went out. Swift shadows flew
by Shirt Front Stearns in the entrance hail.
One of them pushed bundle of wadded linen
into his arms. Outside, there was the whine
of self-starters, then the roar of racing motors.
The looting of Heather Hill had taken
exactly seven minutes.
The pastry cook, who, with the rest of the
kitchen staff, had been frozen under Long
Hook Freedman's gun, was the first to thaw
into usefulness. He fumbled in the dark for
the electric power switch and threw it. The
lights went on.

younger members were halfway across the
dining room, headed for the door,
Mr.. Phillips stood up and pounded on a
plate with the handle of dinner knife.
Quiet, please! Quiet - everybody" he
said. There's nothing to be gained by losing
our heads"
Williams came into the dining room from
the Office. He whispered something to
Phillips.
Phillips nodded. THE telephones dead, -
he said. Wires cut, no doubt" He pointed
toward the youngsters. 1.-TWO of you men take
a car and drive to the Oracle house down on

phone the parkway police and notify the town
authorities. He pounded sharply on the plate
again.
Until the police come think everybody
should stay here, not try to leave the club.
The police1l want all the information we
can give them" He sat down.
Mrs. Phillips eyed him tearfully. "Wheres
Sally?" she said where's Sally?"
Phillips looked surprised.
Where is Sally?" he repeated.
Il thought she was here"
Mrs. Lacaze leaned for
ward. Il saw her dancing with R

Phillips snorted. I'm not worried about
Sally and Tommy! They're probably moon
hunting some place. What am worried about
is this - mess! Fine kettle of fish for Heather
Hill! II for all of us!'
Shirt Front Stearns surveyed the picture
with inward jubilation. A perfect cleanup!
Itch Finger and the mob would have good
forty minutes before the police could get into
action, perhaps longer. BY that time they d be
holed in And the loot - the loot was safely
hidden where no one would think of hunting
it. In a couple of days he'd see Strongbox
Bergman and make the deal.

Tommy Macdonald played in foursome
the afternoon before the dance. He won two
holes - and got the worst razzing of his life.
He was concentrating, but not on golf. Sally
and what her answer would be that night
filled his mind He had seen practically moth

settled five months of his life. And today was
the longest day he had ever lived.
He showered, dressed and had dinner at the
club The dance was scheduled to begin at
ten o'clock but Tommy knew there wouldn't
a soul arrive before eleven. He wandered
restlessly about the club house. Down to the
bar where he had couple of drinks and back

"You can take it, Mr.. Phillips" Tommy
said, with laugh.
Tommy helped Mrs. Phillips out of the car.
Then Sally's hand rested on his arm for a
moment. like feather.
The next half-hour was nightmare to

Belgian banker, was a guest of the Phillips;
he had no chance to dance with Sally until
the last number before the intermission. And
he knew Sally liked to dance her dances, not
talk them.
As the music showed signs of quitting,
Tommy led her smoothly from the dance
floor in the dining room, through the lounge
and into the entrance hall. They were at the
front door when the music stopped. Tommy
slipped hand under Sallys elbow, opened
the door and guided her out on the porch.
"Br-r-r" said Sally. smuggling bare
shoulder against Tommy. Its cold!'
At 12:45 Shirt Front Stearns went from the
kitchen into the dining room His quick
appraisal showed practically all of the tables
fully occupied The room buzzed with talk,
laughter and the subdued clatter of silver
ware and dishes. Occasionally there was the
pop of champagne cork.
At 12:48 Shirt Front walked through the
lounge to the entrance hall where he stopped
by the office desk to speak to Williams.
At 1880 the noise from the dining room
stopped abruptly.
Itch Finger Benny's voice cracked in quick
staccato.
Don't move! - any of youse! This is a
stick-up!'
A man in a gray topcoat, gray soft hat,
gray gloves and gray half-mask came from
the dining room into the entrance hall. He had
a gun in his hand with which he traced short
arc from Williams to Shirt Front and back
Shove em up" he said.
Shirt Front and Williams raised their hands.
In the dining room, Itch Finger Benny had
jumped like cat on to side table next to the
doorway. He had an automatic in each hand.
His face was shaded by gray half-mask.
He wore gray topooat, gray gloves and
gray felt hat. High above the stunned people
at the tables his eyes covered every quarter
of the room were alert for the least threat.
A tablecloth was spread on the floor in the
center of the dancing space.
Pin Ball and Harry Jackson, looking as
much like Itch Finger as couple of buckshot
from the same shell, were going from table
to table, guns in hand, issuing curt commands.
Back toward back, they were working away
from each other, leaving desolation of
stripped fingers, empty pockets and bare
necks behind them.
You. there, fat girl! Pull 'em out of your
ears an toss 'em on that tablecloth!"
"An' you, sister! Make it snappy! Throw
in that string of pearls! This amt no foolin. :"
More much more of the same until there
was glittering heap on the tablecloth.
"Okay!" Itch Finger barked at length. He
had an uncanny sense of how long he could
hold his victims.
Pin Ball stopped and bagged the table
cloth around its burden of plunder.

Third and worst difficulty was
the Arabs. AS saw how the wall
cut straight through Arab fields,
making for the first time in
thousands of years of history a
real defense of this hitherto law
less frontier, it seemed inevitable
that the wall would irritate the
Arabs. 1t did, beyond measure.
Hacohen got wind of coming
trouble when his agents informed
him that in Damascus suddenly
every form of cutting instrument
from pliers to scissors had been
bought up by Arabs. Soon after
the blow fell.
Thirty kilometers of wall were
built when one night 1000 Arab
villagers, impressed by gangster
chiefs, descended and destroyed
seven kilometers. They bent the
angle irons, put canvas sacks
across the fence and trampled
down what they could not cut.
1T broke my heart to see il"
said Hacohen. About a week later
the Arabs returned and destroyed
another five kilometers. Then
they sent me a message saying,

Right in Heart of
Arab Bandit Realm

They put it up in the heart OF
the Arab bandit country, where
the British authorities feared any
group of Jewish Workmen would
be slaughtered. 1t represents an
epic of Jewish labor, courage and
initiative. 1t is a wall of barbed
wire. ten feet high, from two to
six yards wide, running for IS
miles along the northern frontier
of Palestine, and shutting off for
the first time the entry OF Arab
terrorists from the Lebanon and
Syria areas.
Officially it S called "TegartS S
Wall" but its proper name is the
Jewish WALL" because, though

terror Oman from B IN 6 a |
thought of it, and the British
authorized it. the Jews built it..
For some deep reasons Of strategy
or politics. the British forbid any
mention of the wall in the PaleS-
tine press.
I stood at gate in its center
and asked David Hacohen, its
builder, how many yards of
barbed wire were contained in the
Shimmering band of gray that
stretched as far as the eye could
see to the Mediterranean on one
side to Lake Hule on the other.
About twenty-five million yards" :"
answered Hacohen, pushing his
straw hat to the back of his head,
land it cost half a million dol
dars, just about SIS a yard of
fence He leaned up against our

day. That meant he was putting
into place 25O.00O yards of wire
day.
First difficulty was finding that
much wire. Out of the shades of
the Abyssinian war, it surprisingly
appeared. Hacohen found more
than 1000 tons of it in Czecho-
Slovakia and Belgium, originally
ordered by Italy for the war in
but prevented from de.
livery by the League sanctions.
Italy itself, no longer needful of
wire, provided 500 tons. and Pale
stine industry 400 tons.
Second difficulty was food.
Hacohen had it brought hot in
The Washington times., 1938-09-22
Solid Mass
OF Tangled Wire

Twenty-Five million yards were
required because the wall consists
not only of three fences of wire
closely strung on triangular steel
rods, every other one embedded
in concrete, but between the
fences is heaped loose barbed
wire higher than a mans head
in a tangle that only lizard
could penetrate.
Hacohen, which means the
priest, is one of the typical new
race of the fighting Jews of Pales-
tine With his rifle on his lap, he
sat beside me as we drove the
entire length OF the frontier road
paralleling the wall. A strip 80
to so yards wide separates the
road from the barbed wire and
this strip has been burned of
brush and trees to give clear
shooting.
When Sir Charles Tegart con-
ceived the wall, he called Hacohen,
who is managing director of the
Jewish Labor Federation's COM
pany "Paver and Builder Once
agreed upon, the British wanted
the wall in a hurry. Arms and
bandits were pouring over the
northern frontier in such flood
that the disturbances" were
about to shake even British calm.
How quickly could you build
it?" they asked Hacohen. Three
months" he answered. Nonsense,
you can't do it in nine" they re-
piled. The Arabs will kill half
your men before you can begin. !"
Then give me a clause grant
ing time out for burying the dead
was Hacohen's answer, which
brought a laugh and signature Of
the contract.
He took 1000 Jewish workmen,
30 of them armed, and 200 Jewish

They come from all over the world,
but they derive from Judas Macca-
baeus the Hammer, and they are
ready like the hammer to smash
their enemies.
Could the Jews defend them
selVeS9 Given the proper terrific
rial boundaries, could they hold
their own with the Arabs? Have
they the temperament and charac-
ter to fight? A visit to Hanita
may provide an answer.

To crown their audacity, the
Arabs from half a dozen villages
turned up soon after the attack
on the wall and applied to Jewish
hospitals for treatment to their
hands, wounded by the wire. Brit
ish troops took hand, drag.netted
the neighborhood, and put TOO
Arabs in concentration camp.
That was not enough. Attacks
continued, Hacohen pondered. The
Arab defiance stung. Hacohen
produced a fighting plan. The
next time the Arabs laid hands on
the wall, four of them disappeared

Mediterranean to the bottomless
marshes of Lake Hule, home of
mosquitoes, malaria and a strange
race of sickly savageS, and an ex-
tension runs down to the Sea Of
Galilee, Lake TiberiaS.
Its usefulness already has been
proved. A comparatively small
number of British troops patrolling
the parallel road can now keep

was wide open. It's further signifi-

Design OF New Seal
Is Very Appropriate

Plans for the 1888 Christmas Seal
campaign were speeded up this week
by the arrival of the supplies and a
previeW of them by the local COM
mittee.
The tuberculosis Seal for this year
is unusually attractive, according to
Mrs. A. w. Conway, chairman of the
Askov Seal sale. 1t shows a mother
and two young children in the cos
tunes of the Victorian age lighting a
candle in the window of their home
At the bottom on either side is a red
double-barred cross, insignia of the
international fight against tubercu-
losis. The Seal carries the words,
Health Greetings"
Bordered in red, the seal is car
ried out in typical Christmas colors,
making an attractive decoration for
greeting cards and gifts. The corner
of each sheet of 100 Seals carries
the portraits of four men who have
played important parts in the fight
against tuberculosis.
The Seal was designed by Lloyd
Coe, New York artist. The theme
is intended to signify the protection
that the organized fight against tuber-
culosiS brings to the home.
