Peace Cross Floods Again

Last weeks flood at Peace Cross once again
pointed the finger of shane at ~aryland hi ,tways.
Every year. without fail, spring rains send the Ana
20 stia iver its banks and 200 feet Of
hi ahuay at this point, OF the busiest intersec
lions in Prince Georges County, forcing thousands of
suburban commuters we'll tourists, truckers and
other drivers to seek ont Inadequate detours.
Saturdays flood turned Commute drive into
2-hour torture FOR drivers and riders alike, the
portion O. Route One ron It. Rainier to Ey-
attsville choked to standstill. 1t costs more
money to operate in low gear with continual
stops and starts, and last weeks flood and traffic
jan the direct of at least five accidents.
Why isn't the short stretch Of highway at Peace
cross, who're Gfense HI .hEay enters Rladensburg
Road, raised three feet?
Why isn't the Route One oottle-neck just outside
the District widened to meet the traffic demand?
taryland motorists, paying OF the highest
state gasoline taxes in the country, have right to
de~and something better than this. But believe u.s.
brother, you're going to have to demand pretty
loud voice if you intend to stir into action the
present state legislature and the hway CON-
mission.

S. 1920 and S. $3.50

1t is not enoueh to solve social problems for
Greenbelt alone, and the Health Association is to be
commended for recognizing this at its Tuesday eet-
ing.
With a municipal hospital, cooperative nedic cal
association protecting nearly half the local fam
lilies, and model public health depar rtnent, Green
belt is probably the best equipped town of its size
in the world, from health standpoint.
mis- is not enough, however, for in l ,260, or
over 10 per cent of the 3,O counties of the Uni ted
States, there general special hospitals of
any kind, and last year tens of millions of our
people could not afford to purchase the medical care
they needed.
The Health Association endorsed by resolution the
Wagner Hospital Bill Is. 323o) and the Wagner Ma
tional Health Bill Is. l62o) Tuesday iGht to push
extension Of adequate health facilities to the rest
OF the country These two bills, if passed, Will be
no cure-alls, but they will make substantial pro-
gress in meeting the medical needs of our nation.
Your personal letter, addressed to your Congress-
man, Will help these two through the legis-
lat1ve mill. First write for copies of S. $3.50 and
5. 1920: When you have read the bills, make your
responsibility to do personally what the CHA. has
done as group-support the two healt bills vi tn

PUBLIC ATTACK AID PRIvkTE Apology

To the Editor:
short time after I moved to Greenbelt was
visited by Lr. Joseph E. Bareas Who made several
attepts and finally succeeded in arousing ny inter
est in the community and SOLD share in the
Greenbelt Consumer Services. Through his persistent
efforts became TREMENDOUSLY interested in the coe
movement. For his labor he is repaid by public
attack. Ly resentment to express that,
which feel sure, the real sentiment of many
of Loct loyal "Cooperatorsn.
This stateLent is not directed at any individual
group but is directed at what consider the
outs landing fault of civic Leaders. That is,
the policy of "pub1ic" attack and private apology
in public meetings and in the press end then telling
him privately that "you'r sorryn. This is psychol
ogy, in erse, and can result in nothing but
tagonisn. There who contend it arouses the
fighting spirit and produces results.
How,t this aroused "spirit" dispatched? Usually

be cooI erative minded.

TO MAKE THE G.C.A. RUN

To the Editor:
Indirectly, by way of Nr. Chasanow, have heard
that am Mr.. Custer's "close associate", referred
to in letter in last weeks Cooperator.
would like to state first that if enti tied
to that designat tion, I proud of it.
It was claimed that Mr.. Custer and associate were
trying to the Citizens Association. I think the
correct statement would be they trying to make
the association run.
The actions which I have recommended to the GCA
chairman, have also recommended at GCA meetings-
that meetings begin at eight (motion adopted), and
that 1iers be distributed before meetings stating
the major bua proposed (motion defeated by one
vote).
The only regular GcA meeting in months at
which more than the new quorum present was also
the only recent meeting for which flier was dis
tributed-March meeting.
The GCA has $50 in Its treasury, and apparently
has little to do with it but throw dances. Is the
three dollar maximum cost of f1ier uwarranted ex-
if it will make the Greenbelt Citizens Associa
tion representative of Greenbelt?
The writer Of the aforementioned letter, having
worked with Ar. Custer important projects in
Greenbelt, should know Mr. Custer we'll enough to re-
a1ize that he does not act from pers nal bias and
that he is influenced only by sense.
good many Greenbel lters--including the wri ter
have found that sane thing valuable than

CUSTER's ATTACK

To the Editor:
Perhaps from point of view the attack direct
ed against the management of the Citizens Associa-
tion is Justified to degree, and it is hoped
that such real and unadulterate criticism will
bring forth good results. do not believe that any
one will question lr. Custer's direction of mind
it is evident that Nr. Custer is sincere he is
brutal1y frank Can it be that such severe animad-
version is based upon the lack of attendance at
meetings and that the Executive respor-
sible? If the Executive Committee is responsible
then have missed the piano part completely nso
as conception Of good citizenship is concerned.
AS member of the committee, and in defense of
the committee as whole, nay I ask if group
of individuals are actually expected to drag the
people from their homes into these meetings?

A REMINDER TO REGISTER
To the Edi tor:


I have been requested almost dozen occasions
In the past two weeks to give either my position
the stand OF the Maryland Democrats in the present
conflict between Er. Bruce Senator Radcliffe for
the senatorship of the State of Maryland.
1t would be an easy matter for ne to jump on
either band wagon in the hope cf getting little
patronage from the winner, but band wagons not
my specially and will not be, ard I trust that the
Maryland Democrats will it that way, toe.
This Bruce-Radcltffe fight is nothing but ano the,
party machine scramble for the spoils of office.
The common people of Maryland have little to gain
from the victory of either one.
Greenbelters, however, do have big stake and
vital one, in the present political situation. It
is more essential, than before, that we
