Dr.. Ralph W. Fowler. president

from the way policemen walk

DIR. Fowler said.
They walk that way because
it is easier when the feet are tired,
but il does not mean their feet

How to Improve Greenbelt's Newspaper

The criticism is sometimes heard Of the COOPFRA-
TOR that it's content is much too liri ted es-
pecially when compared with the amount Of features
carried. We agree with this criticism. There is
however explanation which we think important not
merely to discuss in circles but to bring to
the attentio Of the town at large.
The people who put this sheet out don't do it for
a living. Their families supported by 40 hours
a week or better, spent desk on the BUSH
ness end Of e wrench. When they home and do
find time and energy to turn to the paper is onlv
natural that they do those things which brine them
some degree of pleasure. And so, almost to q man.
they turn to feature writing.
Gathering is particular fun under the
best circms tances. Tt calls for pal effort
and more than little drudgery; nobody thanks you
for 1T. LEG men," they call their news-gatherers
on protest. nal Journals, among the least-re-
spected and most Woodworking Of the craft.
We Of the COOPTAT0R have devoted consid cradle
attention to this question. We have to the con-
clus1on that the only possible solutio for an ar
teur newspaper of type is to enlist the whole Of
Greenbe1t as news-gatherers. It requires no very
great effort for people to send report of
tiles or events which part Of their lv lives
The style and grammar need not be first-rate. Ac-
curacy OF the factua1 matter is the roouisite
To the extent that Greenbelt becomes neys-cop-
sc1ous 1t Will have authoritative informative
newspaper. In town whose by-mord is coopereti on
we feel that there will be such newspaper when
Greenbelters grasp the situation.

Two Methods of Sharing the Wealth

Two MetnOdS OF Sharing the Wealth
Last week, Brenda Diana Duff Frazier. New York

it's handy Soldering up" bar, invariably packs moro

1t is. therefore, hardly surprising to note that

Late members Of society rush to defend Brenda,s

Although we hardly concur wi tn the Times evalua-
ton of the party efficacious method of shar-
Ing the wealth, we do most heartily endorse t}ei
suggestion that earnest thought be given to the
question Of improving the distri on of wealth
and the method of wealth control.
1t hardly takes "brain sweat" to supply proper
answer TO the question Of equitable distri-
V. "0@A"n a!p "ea!I control IN this country
Rather, it should be evident to any atrophied
brain that the consumer, collectively, holds within
his own two hands the entire question:
Under our profit system, it the cons uner who
supplies the market without which no wealth would
be created. 1t is, also. he alone who determines
Cne wealth control when he decides where his
dollars shall be spent.
. our present economic problem, that Of effective
dis will be solved whenever that segment
OF the population composed OF producers and con-
suners. who alone determine the wealth of the
country. decide to coordirate their productive
capacities and their control Of the spend ing power
and direct them into channels over which they
themselves, retain the control and which thew can
direct to be US ed in the public interest.
We, IN Greenbelt, with the ouragenent of the
Federal government and through the help Of the
t1Iene organization, attempting to prove that.
through mutual effort, can thus correlate our
capital, labor and executive abilities into channels
for our collective enrichment.
