TRANSPORTATION
To the Editor:


know that transportation is having to CON-
pete with numerous other important interests in
Greenbelt. Nevertheless, am disappointed at the
response to the expressed need of the Countys Joint
Committee on Transportation for personal, written
statements in regard to bad service and con-
ditions along the Beltsville-Et. Rainier trolley
line. hear stories = know they happen. People
have been Left in Berwyn when the temperature was
uncomfortably low. They have had to run through
moving traffic at Mt. Rainier to catch car. They
have spent from two to three hours in making one
way trip to or from Washington. Families felt
they had to leave Greenbelt because Of inadequate
service. Why aren't these things written down?
The detailed information indicated in previous
notices and circulars will increase the value, but
is not essential to make statement effective and
every letter will be valuable.
There is to be an important meeting in Hyatts-
Vile on January II, at which the entire question
Will be discussed. It is to be informative meet
1ng 1t is also to serve the purpose of getting all
groups record supporting the action being
undertaken. would certainly like to be able to
attend that meeting with thick sheaf of letters
evidence that Greenbelt doing its part in the
effort to get better transportation.
Only with cooperation succeed.

Don't Stop Now

The national budget for 1870 has been submi tied
to Congress and the wheels being set in notion
to provide the funds for the coming yearis govern
mental expendi tures. Just how close the Congress
Will follow the outline set by the budget is not of
course, known. We hope they DON'T carry It out
strictly to the letter.
For several years there have been no funds avail
able for the construction Of more Greenbelt towns.
But during the last few years the United States
Housing Authority has been given monies and the
authority to carry housing program for low in
come families. The present budget allows USFA just
about enough to carry the construction they
have started. There little no funds provided
for construction.
Is this the end of the governments housing pro-
gram? We hope not.
A good start has been made towards providing ade-
quate shelter for fami1tes who have little to pay
for rent. This Is a housing field that private
business does not able to provide for. The
government should continue this work.

How about those 1889 patronage return slips now
that the G.C.S. is actually a cooperative
They should be hung onto tightly until after the
first annual membership meeting of the Coopera-

decide, on the basis of report of the Board of
Directors, what disposition Is to be made of

what dividends may be paid, and the legal ard
accounting problems involved, and will probably
make recommendation to the amount, If any,

Why the petition to the F.s.A. to revise the in

how many of these would turn down that raj Sc just
because of their child's education their affee-

If there is natural turnover of popula of

MAYOR COMPLnlENTED
To the Editor:


The most significant fact revealed at the Town
Council meeting, January 8, not the loyalty to
"avenge" a supposed wrong, nor even that such
large group of people showed active interest in
the public health program Of town. It that
50 many people could cone to a Council meeting and
be amazingly of its purposes, and the
powers and limi itations given the Council under the
Greenbelt charter. With complete information about
being completely ignorant of the principles of
towns admin stration. 1t is strange, too, that
these people could to think that the Cou-
Gil has anything but the best interest the whole
town in mind; that the Council is divorced from the
feelings and ne eds of the people.
Our Mayor is to be congratulated the expert
handling Of an nlr,1y and di fficult meeting.

rienced In this valley. raspberry
growers find themselves in the
need Of pickers in order 70 get
the fruit off the vines before It
spoils.
In the middle OF May. due to
early growing weather, it was
thought there would be good
crop with the harvest coming about
three weeks earlier than usual.
Then the frost on the 26th hit the
valley and froze most of the berries
which had begun to form. Since
that time growers have had small
pickings in most cases. However,
the berries took sudden squirt this
week and now pickers are hard to
find. the holiday Thursday putting
the harvest farther behind. The
Cuthbert variety is just coming
into its peak and in most fields
the picking is good and the quail
ity up to standard.

turned away and after nine minutes
the Renown observed hits forward
of the superstructure of the German
battleship.
Thereafter her whole armory
stopped firing but later, after hav-
ing turned, she began firing under
local control. The speed which the
battleship maintained was very
great, and Renown had to push to
"A knots through very heavy seas
breaking over her forward gun tur-
rets, and after a further two min.
utes Of firing, a vertical column of
smoke from what they called a pos
sible second hit was observed in the
Scharnhorst, who then turned aWay
and retired at high speed without
hampering herself by further firing.
During this period a shell passed
through our vessel at about the
waterline without bursting. A second
shell went through the foremost and
carried away the main aerial. There
were no casualties in Renown.
The 10, 0O0-ton cruiser of the Hip
per class now tried to cross Scharn-
horst. Hyper threw a smokescreen
to cover S~charnhorst and Renown
opened fire upon Hipper, which
turned away and both ships retired
at high speed, Hipper lodging the
fire which became intermittent.
You must imagine that all the
time, snoWstorms were closing the
view and the sea was running very
high. In the end we must regret to
say that they succeeded in leav-
ing u.s."
