GREEN 7.ELT'S FIRST SNOWFALL
BY Ii 11ien Schwartz

Among the firsts Of Greenbelt, I
would lie to list the snowfall Of Janu-
cry l9. Very little can be said Of the
first few hours, but during the after
noon, when the walks and grounds were
covered with O blanket Of snow, imagine
the thoughts running through US, the
pioneers Of Greenbelt.
Just wait until Junior is asleep.
Hubby end 7 will take his sled and look
for nice hilly pieces, and we will
have q good time. Indeed Mr.. g. hrs.
Land end Mrs. Hesse carried this plan
out to the letter. I an sure the boys
and girls possessing sleds did not
calmly VIZ IL home from school, because
it 'gns only few minutes after $3.50
that Afternoon, when boys, girls and
young toddlers were the s1eds just
having the time Of their young lives
anG soying that there il not another
place in this wild world where could
have such fun.
Remember waking on the morning Of
the 10th and locking out Of the window?
Could you wait until you were out in
the open and just walk and thrill to
the sights that greeted you? Fathers,
Mothers and children upon sleds, hav-
ing a most wonderful time and wi shing,
most probably, that the day would mover
end.
Put alas, the sun shone too strong ly,
and by the afternoon the snow was gone.

For some time it has been felt by
the author that there is q definite
lation between human psychology and
people. 4 knowledge Of human psychol0-
gy is then useful in understanding the
actions Of and women over rs we'll
as under rs, and Else children.
Let us illustrate wi TIL an int resting
application. Jones, g man Of average
intelligence, has drawn the attention
OF some noted psychiotrrists by his pocu-
liar menta lity. Although Of 8 calm and
even disposition he becomes very rufflod
when tapped on the bridge Of the nose
Wi tn a number 5 monkey wrench.
This unusual reaction springs from
the fact that when he five years old
(going on six) he YVES bittcn on the fin
ger while feeding an old chocolate ocloir
to q monkey. Undoubtedly he developed
an undue aversion to anything that brings
up on association with that unfortuno tie
incident. Once the situetiOn is
planned to him his abnormality should
vanish. IF it doesn't, thu wrench should
be applied on the Uranium end with more
vigor.
