More LedUe Grief

Farm Security's emergency work
ers employed as landscapes at
Greenbelt have been told by q
pettiboss that they can't take their
leave prior to June 30, but that
sufficient money has been en-
numbered" to pay them for the
leave they weren't allowed to take
after the project closes on that
date! This is so much hooie:
Not only would such an action
mean the workers would receive
pay twice for single amount Of
work, but General Accounting eX-
perts declare such an idea hope
lessly illegal . Further, Farm Sc
curity itself. in high official cir
Giles, says no such idea is planned
and that it is equally as confused
over the leave mess as other
agencies with emergency person
mel E. In this case, however, the
workers won't receive reappoint-
ments, so it is wondered why Farm
Security doesn't hire more men for
the duration of the job, rather
than deny - illegally - rightfully
earned leave?

to the sa tbs ction Of the ma jority.
A number Of schemes have been tried.
Some families have attempted to use the

tried various sorts Of indoor aerials;
and few have tried to use wire
clothes line as an aerial. We are hop

ancc to every resident Of the town. I
think the legal speed should be cut to
tNonty mi les per hour precaution-
airy measure for the protection Of
children. This speed limit should be
enforced, and those who do not abide
by it should be fined. 4 person who
is perpet ual offender Of this regula-

Another very dangerous condi ton
exls its where roadway ontors between
q row Of garages. I would suggest that
STOP signs be placed at these entrances,
and persons entering should be very
careful Of children playing in the
court the other side Of the garages.
There have been several very near acct
dents due to this condi ton ext sting on
Hill side Road, where roadway enters
between group Of garages st either side
wi tn sharp 800 turn. There is gener-
ally group Of children playing in this
area, riding tricyclos and wagons.
Autos speeding around these sharp 9Oo
turns from behind garage walls place the
children in grave danger. Imnedia tie steps
should be taken to safeguard these lit
tie tots who not protect themselves.
After. someone's youngster is over,
perhaps killed or crippled for life,
it is too La tie to- act.
We, che residents Of Groenbelt, should
see to it that this protection is given
our children Immediately.
Why not put up several large signs
on the outskirts Of the town to read:
