A Year Is Too Long

One year ago Capital Transit Company began charg-

Little blame be laid at the door of the trans
portation COMM of the Citizens Association
though that group does not especially active
just now. They spent endless hours endless plans
only to have ha1fdozen critics tear the proposals
to shreds when Greebelers met to consider the work
of the committee.
Capital Transit would not listen to the tteeis
suggestions for effecting certain savings without
abolishing the through service then provided. The
proposal for municipal bus line thrown around

approval.
After entire year transportation is still
Greenbelt's number problem.
One more suggestion should not do any further dam
age. How about clearing house for drivers who
accommodate riders and for those looking for
rides to work? Yes, know it is against the Law
for drivers of private to carry passengers for
hire--but can be arrested for giving his
eighbor a lift into work.
At present perhaps 50 persons are searching for
rides, and dozen drivers have extra in
their cars. If the transportation committee could
set up some simple machinery that drivers and
riders could get together they would have solved
part of the present mess for a time at least.

Letters to editor
CONGRATULATIONS TO ORGANIZED CONSUMERS


To the Editor:
think readers of the Cooperator will be inter-
ested in letter received from Miss Marie Hag1ert
Of Consumer Distribution Corporation, which quote
in full.
vt think this milk thing is of the most Inn
portant things live in Greenbelt, and you are
to be congratulated your part in it. I wish
could have been there participate in the
ment of making all the arrangements.
Not the least important of the results of this
milk buying club arrangement is the fact that you
now have the Greenbelt families educated to their
power organized consumers. It is certainly
marvellous achievement, and should serve great
stimulus for the cooperative, which, after all, is
just slightly more formal way for organizing
smers.
Another thing that thrills about this milk
situation is that it is purely Greenbelt in orr
gin. There be about its being
"top-dom" development, and it certainly proves that
we common people can accomplish things all by
selves and can provide our own leadership Without
wal ting for someone else to push into it.
Please give my regards to my friends in Greenbelt
I hope to be able to down for visit week
end soon".
These notes should be particularly interesting to
the members of the Milk Buying Club.

We can be mighty proud that here in Greenbelt our
